    Woke has failed so they want to pretend it never happened.

    It is largely related to being awake which many of its proponent equate to seeing the world with a Marxist-influenced lens.

    The insanity of its proponents has resulted in a lot of lies and embarrassing video clips and now it's become a negative trait. The left realizes its definition is gone and they want to get away from it because the youth see them are fools.

    Both anecdotal and polling data show that youth are far more supportive of “woke” issues such as LGBTQ, transgender, and issues of social Justice.

    This was referenced in another thread but even younger conservatives feel that it’s a mistake for the older generation to keep on harping on “wokeness”

    With all due respect…

    What in the actual Fck are you talking about??

    …..

    “Woke has failed”…

    -What was the so-called “Woke”… please define what that was that was supposed to happen that didn’t because you MAGA guys said the word Woke anything you wanted to whine like bratty toddlers.

    -Being awake means not being asleep. It’s the act of your eyes being closed and your human body sleeping. When the human body closes its eyes and goes to sleep… it doesn’t try to install a Soviet Marxist government. That analogy makes no sense. When I went to sleep last night my body just laid there. It didn’t take a flight to DC to try and hang the VP or anything like it. It literally just laid there in my bed next to my wife.

    So please… can you explain what “Woke” is or was??

    Here’s an elementary school fact for you MAGA guys who hate education so you might not know this:

    The word AWAKE is an Adjective.

    Meaning the word means nothing unless it’s attributed to a noun.

    Ex: MY Body is AWAKE. My body being the noun.

    another example:

    My hatred for a broadway musical has awoken.

    The word Woke means nothing if it isn’t attributed to any particular noun or verb. So when you come in here using the term “woke” as an implied noun or verb…

    You are by definition… a fcking idiot.

    Thank you for saving me the effort of replying to @dachuda86's sad post.

    I don't know where he runs across the sources he borrows from in order to post these nonsensical takes. It's the pity of the world that the fellow wastes his time at those websites. I know he isn't stupid, yet he deep dives into utter crap in an attempt to repeat the efforts pumped out by someone or some people he apparently respects. It would be nice if he'd give a source, instead of simply repeating someone else's twisted trash. In my opinion.

    I think woke has succeeded at making middle aged boomers have a meltdown for consecutive years on a basketball message board. Ya'll are such die hard Rocket fans you take Ls in the D&D too. That's dedication.

    You are the one who claimed that “woke” has failed? Wtf is “woke”??

    You guys talk about this adjective as if it’s a noun used to describe an event such as … oh let’s see… Russia’s war on Ukraine or Trumps failed run for re-election in 2020.

    So I’ll ask you again.. please define “woke” so I know exactly what you are whining about.

    I can tell you 100% that diversity is not something that really is of much concern in any boardroom, Disney or otherwise.

    You missed the point, race swapping is only racist if its a white person playing the role of a black character. A black person can now play the role of any character regardless of the character's race. Its okay one way but not the other despite it being the exact same thing except one is frowned upon by a certain group of people. I'm not against black actors and actresses, some of the best and most talented actors are black. This has nothing to do with black people or white people, black children have had great and talented black role models for a very long time now. Black children can also have great white role models as well, same goes for white children. When I was a little kid watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air you think I couldn't look up to Will Smith? That I couldn't identify with him or like him because Will Smith was black and I was Latin x? Nah I still watched the crap out of Men In Black.....

    Woke Hollywood needs to stop race swapping, its an insult to black people. They can't seem to write a single original black character anymore or maybe they just don't want to. And you support it. Because you do have a problem with white people. You do love yourself a good ol race swap not because a black actor is getting a lead role in a movie but because the white actor didn't...
