Yeah, using “woke” as a prerogative is as useful as a MAGA hat for deciding who to avoid.

flypusher713.bsky.social•163 days ago

Meant pejorative. Thanks autocorrect

Bingo.

“Oh, you’re using that in an unironic manner?? Ok.”
*walks away forever*

djorankeil.bsky.social•163 days ago

That's such a woke thing to say!

As someone who suffers from constant sleep deprivation I've always wondered what's so bad about being awake. MAGA is very confusing.

Anyone using it as a negative is compromised

I figure you’re either woke or sleep-walking through life like a zombie.

💯💯💯 To me it’s become tell me you’re a dipshit without telling me you’re a dipshit.

It is an excellent a**h*le detector. Kinda like when someone says "Atlas Shrugged" or "The Fountainhead" are their favorite books.

This is true.

The movie.. They Live.. Was one.

It’s an excellent red flag. 🚩

Good point.

franklinleonard.bsky.social•163 days ago

People think they’re being insulting when they use it and my reaction is genuinely “oh, you’re a dummy. Damn, that’s sad for you.”

beekohl.bsky.social•163 days ago

Perfect summation. “Thanks for letting me know you are not worth engaging with in any way”.

similar for "politically correct" - oh, you're forced not to joke about certain topics because of societally sooooo unfaaaaair circumstances? it's not that you believe you shouldn't make fun of people's pain?

pensivepelican.bsky.social•163 days ago

I refuse to use politically correct terms like “pro-life”

carltonswift.bsky.social•163 days ago

Just ask these people if using the term "woke" has become too woke.

It's like Rotten Tomatoes but for dumb people. It's imperfect, but it can save you a lot of time.
