What Does It Mean To Be Woke?

What does it mean to be woke?

Well, to begin with, being woke would never exist in a country like Venezuela. People who are barely surviving don't have time to be woke.
Being woke is essentially sitting on your ass and complaining about everything. It's acting like you're making a difference when in fact all you do every day is point out injustices in everything around you. You're neither the solution nor the cause, in your mind.
Being woke is a religion. It is the religion of grievances. You take issue with everything. Nothing is good enough for you. This is why Whole Foods is being sued in Berkeley by Vegetarians because they sell meat.

It means to toe the progressive party line without having to think about it.

It means being able to hold progressive ideas in one's head and being able to ignore any fallacies, inconsistencies, or falsehoods that are involved.

Look up the term "goodthinker" from Orwell's 1984 and you will get what being woke is all about.

People have had enough. *I* have had enough.

What they mean by this is that they will be sensitive and empathetic but ONLY if you're the right "diversity code" for them. If you're not "sit down". If you're not, "shut up".

But no one knows the burdens others bear...no one knows. We've lost all sense of compassion, sensitivity, for pete's sake, LISTENING to each other. That's why there's an underclass of "white working class" folks in middle America strung out on opioids and seemingly no one cares. Their skin doesn't have enough melanin or whatever, they don't wear a head scarf, they are attracted to the opposite sex, so NO. ONE. CARES.

I really hate the times we live in. We have lost our freakin' minds.

No, it's Progressive speak for being awake.
It means IGNORE MY FLAWS WHILE I POINT OUT YOUR'S.
