oh, don't be coy. I'm saying that at this point everyone knows what 'woke' is. no one is complaining about 'girls in movies' (sorry about the harmful language, I'm just quoting you)

I don't know what people think woke is, as it is used on the internet or even IRL, it seems to be thrown at everything.

At one point the current administration said they were laying people off because those people were woke... but I'm not sure they even were looking at anything involving those people. It seems impossible due to the volume of people involved.

A senator claimed to have a list of "woke scientists". What does that even mean, just having an opinion?

Star Trek was too woke for people at one point, and that doesn't make sense as if you ever watched Star Trek you'd know it always had a lot of social commentary.

The term has devolved.

it means getting paid with taxpayers' money to produce verbal gonorrhea of no value to anyone.

Naw his list included a lot of valid science. There was no apparent rhyme or reason to the parts of the list was known.

And of course like all such claims nobody to actually answer for why something was on the list. Just a lot of fearmongering that works on people.

it did, yes, but it shows how many people were getting paid obscene amounts of money to 'research' equitable math* and such.

* yes, seriously. people get paid to call math racist. https://equitablemath.org/

If anyone else is reading along, the throwaway account is also lying about this (shocker!)

You'll open link to find a website that does not at all claim math is racist, but instead claims that it has been unequally taught for years. Which makes complete sense, as the racial gap in Math attainment in the US isn't replicated in other countries -- in the UK GCSE Maths levels for black students hover around or slightly above those of white students.

Is it even worth engaging... I wonder if the science of vaccination is also "verbal gonorrhea". Considering we've left the deciding of that to thoughtful leaders like RFK Jr.

speaking as someone, I can say that I am more than a bit fuzzy on exactly what woke is, but somehow feel certain that I will find it anoying, that said I would happily have "woke" stuff just pushed out of the naritive....as long as they also made sure that the government AI could not reference , frenology, and eugenics, mien campf, and or anything else that was not common to 99.9999% of the human population, withh everything else lumped under the basic right to consentualy partisipate in whatever, and the counter right to not have whatever, non consentualy shoved in thier face. tricky to impliment, but worth a try, I think.
