    It’s actually kind of a tragedy that the word has taken on that perception. There are some things that can and should be discussed that fall under the “woke” definition. But there’s no good alternative word. DEI is commonly used, but it’s not applicable in some instances when woke still would be. So we’re left kind of floundering around looking for words to describe a concept that is easily summed up as woke, just to avoid the perception of being a close-minded bigot. This isn’t the first, and certainly won’t be the last thing that the right has taken, bastardized, and used until it’s tired and worn out.

      It’s okay, we had to deal with being called SJWs for a long time as well. This kind of idiotic cock blocking isn’t going to stop people from slowly evolving out of the unjust systems of thought we’ve inherited.
