Idc how many white leftists make posts trying to excuse their dog whistles, “woke” is a term coined by black people to refer to our own experiences, then co-opted by white conservatives used in a derogatory manner. And now white leftists are trying to make it a trendy joke.
So white people colonized the word WOKE
Made it this amorphous entity that can represent anything and nothing, and that they cannot even define, a floating signifier that conveys any racist sentiment white SUBpremacists want to convey,
and now "progressives" are rejecting and condemning that fascistic definition???
My dear friends, you were all, always Weimar weren't you?
Always allowing fascists to set the definitions of your discourse?
As AOC said back during WOKE 1:
All this "Woke 1.0" conversation is accomplishing is providing white people the space to talk about why thinking critically about race for a few years "ruined their lives actually"
I find the “woke 1 was crazy” thing is pretty distasteful. We watched George Floyd get murdered on video, as he screamed and cried for his mother. The politics that came in response to that was an honest way of trying to combat the institutions that produced that outcome.
Anyone who says “woke 1 was crazy” to wave away their publicly stated positions just means “I don’t believe in anything and I will tell you whatever I think you want to hear at the moment”
It really is scary to watch in real time as all the radical energy that the Palestine movement worked so hard to cultivate in the last three years gets folded into a few career politicians trying to redeem the political party that actually carried out the genocide.
Right now it’s trendy to be anti-Flock but few people seem to actually care about the real problem of mass surveillance that is being used against us every day via our phones, Alexas, Ring cameras, smart TVs, social media apps and every other ALPR camera aside from Flock.
