    All of those "woke" SCWs that are beating the CRT drum are just ... idiots.

    Good to know!

    Woke like Critical Race Theory has achieved critical mass as a slur for ridicule by both mainstream conservatives and "moderates" because it allows for putting down "uppity" subgroups without the overt racial overtones while also getting bonus points from being derived from AAVE.

    Similar to how Prayer Warrior has become a term of ridicule despite its original use by conservative evangelicals.

    Actually, the Democrat left has tarred and feathered itself with this in a way that they cannot shake free of or wash off.

    They are identified by it. They own it. Or perhaps more correctly, wokeness owns them. They will wear this like an un-ignorable tattoo on their faces going into this next election, paired with the odious stench that goes along with it, and no smart-ass retort by any of you people is going to change that at this point.

    You're a caricature of the conservative movement, moving lock-step with the the movement no matter where it takes you.

    A mindlessly evasive ad-hominem response. Why am I not surprised.

    Nothing evasive. I think you're a bad person.

    And you wonder why the world is polarized......that is what the slogan means to the right, but it is not what the term means - it means enlightened.

    Trumpers continue to make **** up like "Cancel Culture" or "Woke" or anything they don't like they try to slogan it up, so their base of uneducated can have something to chew on without really understanding what they are putting in their mouth.....

    Then they repeat it over and over, trying to make it stick.

    The right has lost the battle of ideas - they have nothing....nothing for the planet, nothing for equal rights, nothing for the people - they are the party of nothing - well except, crooks, pedophiles and conmen.

    These are neither made up nor are they only used by Trumpers.

    I think where we are at is the word has been tainted by a movement to cast anybody who actually cares about social injustice against the disempowered as a "woke" idiot. But, just as with any other political orientation, you can be "woke" and an idiot, or you can be "woke" and do the right things as far as speaking out, volunteer work, activism, etc.

    Yet another mindlessly evasive ad-hominem response. Perhaps this is a byproduct of being infected with the woke "mind virus".

    Yes, they are......they are slogans for the stupid......there is no such thing as any of it....just meant to ridicule, they are meaningless drivel contrived to rile up the ignorant and stupid.....

    The "enlightened" crowd is empathetic and educated to the uneven playing field.

    Which I find Ironic ATW, in that you of Asisn heritage, benefited from a woke culture in Germany - yet are now fighting against it....

    You think embracing the racism of the right is somehow better? The message of dividing and hate?

    There are literally people in the USA beating up Asian folks because they look different than them - and that ain't coming from the left.

    https://thediplomat.com/2021/06/how-trump-fueled-anti-asian-violence-in-america/

    So you are literally embracing a movement that hates you for your heritage.

    If you regard not being infected with the woke "mind virus" as a state of mental illness, then I suppose according to that absurd definition, I am.

    I'm neither of Chinese heritage nor have I ever benefited from "woke" culture.

    I should have said Asian, my bad.....but the point that you benefitted from the German WOKE culture is valid, everyone benefits....remember you have posted pictures of yourself at Bayern Munich matches.....

    You should be better than making fun of others......and trying to divide.

    LOL - at Tinman liking it when he has a similar background.

    Getting caught up in a movement that literally hates people for their skin tone, sexual orientation, political stance - well anything...a party of hate - to me, is stupid.

    Edit: I can see where saying Chinese, when you are Korean would be poor - should have said Asian - My apologies.

    Is the mind virus a creation of the North Atlantic Globalist Elite, or another nefarious organization?

    I am in the basement, I have got my string out and am trying to connect all the pieces.

    They certainly appear to be infected by it. But at its foundation it is a creation adapted directly from Marxism.
