Right wing kooks using the word woke is actually pretty funny. The rest of us are just out here thinking that perhaps everyone should be able to live with a modest amount of dignity and these dudes think it’s some magic spell we’re chanting.

Fuggen’ “wokeism” kills me every time! What on earth does that mean to them??

They can't even define it. Remember the author who wrote an entire damn book about wokism, and she couldn't even define "woke" in a live interview for which she had ample time to prepare.

I'm starting to think their brains are wired differently. They don't think, they just react to stimuli.

It's not that these people can't define "woke" it's that they do not ever want to admit (either out loud or just to themselves) they are racists or complicit in being assholes to entire groups people. The word "woke" is the wallpaper that can never be peeled back for exposing the mirror behind it.

Tragically in this case, ignorance is not bliss, but an IV drip of manufactured rage.

After the interviewer tells her to take her time, she still can't explain it

And the thing is, it was such a basic/softball question about the entire premise of her book lmao

Lmao what a fumble! She even knew immediately that this would go viral. Also the only explanation she actually managed to give is complete horseshit. Wokeism is wanting to create hierarcies of oppression? Bitch that's what we're trying to get rid of 😂

Oppression is when people are mean to me when I say racist and transphobic things

I just thought it was the evolution of the social justice warrior pejorative.

Look at this SJW, complaining about cops shooting civillians without trial.

They don't know, they just want some "ism" of their own to throw at the people calling them out for being the racist, sexist, and homophobic fascists that they are.
