[Sans-Culotte]

My personal view, expressed here on FR at least a few times and as often in private: Do not use the word WOKE. It is liberal propaganda. Don't use it. Don't spread it. Don't acknowledge it. Perhaps discussion of it should be banned here on Good Old FR. But I doubt Jim would go for that.

I do not agree with that at all. At least on FR, the word "woke" is only used in a pejorative manner. Even the Urban Disctionary knows that the word makes fun of the very "woke" themselves:

woke

The act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue

Yeah most people don't care about parking spaces for families with disabled pets. I wish they were woke like me.

You probably have the Urban Dictionary cited correctly. And it may describe how Freepers feel about WOKE.

But “pretentious” is not even close to describing what the Libs have in mind. They want WOKE to be in our everyday vocabulary. They want allegiance to its use for projecting how much more sensitive communists and socialists (AKA Democrats) are to the universal suffering of blacks, Browns, gays, women, homeless ... you name it.

Don’t fall into the trap. Even making fun of this stupid idea is, IMHO, harmful. It’s not too late to kill its usage ... At least I’m hoping so.
