I must admit that I have grown fond of this new adjective, woke. It saves me the time of pointing out how delusional, disingenuous, intolerant, illiterate, and religiously fanatical the woke minions tend to be. Ultimately, to be woke means both "deceived" and "deceiving," and for these reasons, it slides nicely into a linguistically fun Scottish phrase, jiggery-pokery, used to describe dishonest behavior. Taken together, jiggery-pokery wokery is amusing enough to belittle the woke legions' cult-like comportment and cut it down to size for its mindless silliness.
Yet it is not silly, is it? As amusing and bemusing as its zealous adherents appear, their devotion to wokeism's edicts (I won't call them "principles") is deadly serious. Any small business–owner who has had the misfortune of struggling to earn a living near the scene of some perceived injustice providing the pretense for Antifa and Black Lives Matter arsonists to unleash a new criminal campaign of burning, looting, and murdering in the name of "justice," knows that once the woke go berserker, no innocent person or private property is safe. The woke love to destroy whatever they touch — culture, infrastructure, social cohesion, rational thought. To be woke is to embrace chaos and injury as a philosophy.
From an anthropological perspective, wokeism is fascinating because its practitioners believe they are creative freethinkers while they act as lobotomized sheep. Whatever the woke wizards posing as priests tell their needy followers, the woke herds accept as truth. Russia stole the election from Hillary! Man-made global warming causes earthquakes! Black police officers killing a black suspect is proof of "white supremacy"! These assertions, thrown out to their intended audience with all the intellectual depth of a viral internet meme, are never questioned or analyzed. They are quickly accepted as doctrinal "truths" to be defended

I wonder what percentage of leftists are also wokeists. It seems like it could be the same mental disorder.
They are like the Red Guard during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Therefore the woke guard.
Sounds ra-acist!

Woke is the celebration of stupidity. It is based on a commitment to absolute ignorance and a deep belief that reason and objectivity are evil. To be woke is to be an agent of chaos. Satan is worshipful and God is a sick myth.
The woke are dung beetles.
