I sat this AM and watched a 10-minute podcast where someone (moderator) was asking a trans-woman to define woke.
What followed....was about a two-minute frame of the trans-woman stumbling around, and being unable to define it. Yeah, it resembled what a 9-year old kid would say about nuclear energy, or what a 40-year old non-intellectual would say about disk brakes.
The general problem is that people have reached a new stage in life where the explanation will be deemed 'reckless' or 'ill-advised'.....meaning you can't utter the explanation without making pro-woke people look like idiots. So the best advice here....if asked to define woke, you need to pull out a bottle of whiskey....toss back ten shots as quickly as possible, and say you aren't in shape to think along these lines.
The fact that we now have outsiders and insiders to the woke discussion....with the realization that reality is too amusing to handle? Well.....yeah, that is noticeable now.
Are there yearly changes to woke? I think as early as 2010.....you could assign a definition, and as you advanced every other year (2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022).....you would need to sit....pausing over the term.
That this started off in some positive trend? Some people suggest that.
Is woke a fad to end one day? I'm probably of the belief that it will trend out at some point.
Speaking of 'trending-out', their term 'trans-person' is now 'woman+' or 'man+'.
ReplyDeleteThat could change next week... (fact is, I would bet on it).
As a run-of-the-mill regular person with little interest in their drama dujour other than an infrequent chuckle at the self-absorption, I think the identifier 'idjit+' seems applicable...
