What was Woke? A megathread documenting the most deranged era of our time 🧵🧵🧵
When AOC declared woke over and dismissively laughed that "Woke 1 was crazzzy", she was sending a calculated signal to the Leftist rank & file that "Woke" was now more of a political liability than a help and it was time to pivot from "its not happening" to "ok it was happening but it wasnt that bad, can we just move on now?"
The online hordes clearly understood the assignment, as the online space is full of ppl either dismissing Woke as "just some online kooks " and pretending not to understand what Woke even was (thus making discourse impossible).
They will adopt a "gotcha" strategy where they will demand to know on the spot exactly what was so bad about Woke and when you dont have an itemized list in bullet points at the ready, will dismiss your entire argument that Woke was bad.
So here I'm creating a thread so you can all bookmark it and use it anytime says "Woke wasnt that big a deal", "it was just online kooks", or "it was just about having empathy and being kind".
You will notice not one of the examples in this thread are "online kooks". Almost every single one is a major media company. Despite the catastrophic reputational loss of the last two decades, these companies are still very powerful and influential, and since most of the public still mindlessly outsources their thinking to the media, they play a key role in shaping public opinion. Keep that in mind as you read some to the deranged things these psychopaths were pushing on us.
If in the future, someone wants to study how, when and why the mainstream media pivoted from Neutral Arbiter of Truth to Culture Warrior, Narrative Shaper and Social Engineer, this thread would be a valuable resource.
So without further ado, what IS Woke?

Since Saturday, life has stopped for me… You fought like a lion, my love, with all the strength I know you are capable of, and I thank you, my love, for giving me the chance to walk with you all the way to the very end, my love…
You came into this world in my arms, and you left in my arms, surrounded by all your loved ones and their love… There are no goodbyes between us, my baby. You are and you will always be with me….
Mom is in warrior mode, my son. You know that I will fight with every ounce of strength I have so that justice is done for you...
I love you, my Boubou, so much that my heart no longer knows how to beat since its metronome has gone… Make me dance with God and the angels to your music, my love."
