Hi Jonathan, I read your description of woke this morning after reading about it from the against-woke group that asked you to define it.
I don’t agree with your definition. My main reason is that you are NOT defining woke. You are describing people who may want to think they are woke but who are in fact exclusionary and self-congratulating.
I have a problem with making political (and other) decisions based on terms like woke and anti-woke. Often these groups are pushing something that has nothing to do with wokeness/anti-wokeness and are instead promoting divisive, reactionary and sometimes flat out extremisism (on all sides). Take care
Is Marxism but with race
