As someone who is interested in the use and abuse of words, I wanted to share a few thoughts on the term “woke.” Like, what exactly in the hell does it mean?
And let's realize who created what we know is "intentional disadvantage." the anti-woke (deniers of truth), are part of and support systems of intentional inequity. I liken it to cutting off a person's legs, standing back and saying, "I told you he was too lazy to run." They are vile creatures who poison the planet and humanity. I personally don't care (give a ....) what they think of a word.
Thanks, Jim... for giving me the words to scold friends in this patch of TrumpWold... woke is just whatever they don't like. And, boy... they don't like a lot of shit.
Not intended as a scold. I am advising to not use the language of the opposition that turns simple words into pejoratives. Find our own terms to communicate who we are and what we believe.
I thought these Trumpians were such great "Christians". I've seen more "Love thy neighbor as they self." from atheist leftists. All this anti-woke anti poor crap makes me want to lose MY religion!
Perfectly stated. I’ll be quoting you in my next episode. You put to words exactly the point I also want to make about decency and the need for civility.
That religion has no business in government or politics because a diverse nation is comprised of many different peoples with varying belief systems and faiths.
Amen, Brother Greg, you are as right as rain in the Big Country.
I agree ☝️
I think religious differences are at the heart of much of the world's problems.

Not a word that I can add to your comment that would add to its clarity. I completely agree.

Scolding friends . . . That's the way to heal wounds and find common cause.

I was responding to Greg, not you.
Apologies. Thanks. Not always clear on this app.
I'd even settle for a modicum of civility.
Fuggedahboutit!!!
Love that decency word. I’ve been using it ever since Trump got elected. Bravo Jim
Thanks, Dee. Maybe we can spread it around, and not just the word.
Woke is another word for bullies to demean others like “spaz” or “tard”.
Bullies don’t grow up they just get older.
This is also true.
So true, what you write. I really don't like that word, woke... but you nailed it. Bring DECENCY back.
Let's start a movement, Mauri.
"A voice cries out in the wilderness, "Make straight the way for the Lord.'
And for Christ's sake, can we get a little decency around here?'"

You're better off, my view, when there is no religion to lose.

Thanks, Michael. I hope people pick up on the idea and it gets used in politics and daily life.
More people have probably died because of religious differences than any other reason in history.
