It's a broad and poorly defined term, but the central underpinnings are two-fold. One, the serial rejection of Western rationality and Classical learning. And two, stemming out of that, race/identity essentialism in place of class essentialism. The primary problem from an intellectual standpoint is that these lines of thought tend to be non-falsifiable and necessarily dogmatic. Take the Obama administration's approach to school suspensions. Blacks are suspended at higher rates, ergo, there must be active racism that needs to be addressed by bringing black suspension rates back in line with other disparate groups. This sort of black and white thinking clearly misses the mark, but when you start with the axiom that all disparities are the result of present and active discrimination, it quickly becomes impossible to reach any other conclusion.

The comparisons to Marx are mostly off-point insofar as they're a great insult to Marx.

Being woke was about being aware of racial/social injustices around the world. Instead of fairness and equal opportunity for all the movement devolved into we want free shit, blacks are to have special treatment, believe all women etc etc anyone who disagrees with us is racist. It has become a moral and ethical blackmail movement which holds people hostage because it plays into that people generally want to be good and don't like confrontations.

The whole notion of being woke is boiled down to being an angry purple hair communist who accuses you of being a Nazi for just being white and breathing. It is no longer movement of aware and fair its become racist and unjust.
At this point it feels like they are out to gather magical browny points instead of actually helping those that need help.

you tube is fascist. thats why fraud lefties love the place. i used to have a youtube account. got cancelled for saying "news media doesnt determine the results of an election" lol
boom i was gone and it looks like they delete everything. even all the comments one has ever made. total de person a person.
wear it like a badge of honer. :)
haha thats how i ended up at JSP ha blame youtube if a person doesnt like it :)

it appears that is part of the left agenda. comply or get cancelled

its weird because the scripture talks about something like that at end times. if you dont take the mark of the beast you get canceled?..........cant buy or sell.

It's like when you're in middle school and everything you don't like is one specific word.
Michael Scott had an episode about it.
