I still don’t underatand how woke is perceived as bad. To me, out of any context woke means you’re waking up, leaving the dream behind and facing reality. Like in the Matrix (except IRL the red pill keeps you in the dream). I just can’t understand how they managed to turn woke negatively. What’s the alternative sleepy? Aren’t the the same people who say wake up sheeple?
Probably social media turned it into a virtue signalling thing, making the whole thing susceptible to stupidity. Then tribalism cemented the term to be entirely positive for one side and entirely negative for the other side. And centrists? Fuck them.

It’s “bad” because a bunch of racists heard a black woman telling people to stay woke and immediately knew they had to do something racist about it:

It isn’t bad.
When the red pill shit failed they picked up the B side of that A/B test and started railing against knowing the true nature of reality
You’re talking about the party that rails against any and all forms of sympathy. Of course they think it’s bad
It literally used to mean that, but fascists couldn’t have that so they twisted it into something unrecognizable.
