So your issue with woke people is that they act morally superior to racists?
No. If woke simply meant anti-racist, then it wouldn't be much of an insult.
I'm anti-racist. That doesn't make me woke. What makes people woke is when they assume that their moral compass is superior to that of anyone who disagrees with their world view. Racism is an interesting one because, as far as I'm concerned, left wing "anti-racism" is itself racist. To me, to be anti-racist is to treat everyone equally. To the left, to be anti-racist means to treat black people as a race like they are victims. I find the idea of treating black people differently to white people to be racist. I'm not ignorant to the fact black people are much, much more likely to be subject to racism, and an awareness of this is fine. But to treat black people differently is not the way to deal with racism, on the contrary it reinforces it.
If you disagree with me there, fine. I don't think that makes you morally inferior to me. I don't think that makes you racist. Thus, I am not woke.
Seriously though, I agree there are some "woke" people who are overbearing and overly judgmental. But there's people like that on the right as well.
Definitely. There's idiots on all sides.
Find me something in the Guardian or Times that's been fact-checked on in the past year and has been revealed to be a fabrication.
Nice caveat with "fact-checked". Who do you think the fact checkers are? This isn't fact-checking in the scientific sense. It's fact checking in the sense of checking what the accepted narrative is.
Left wing media promotes state narrative. Right wing media challenges it. Neither are sincere.
