You know what, fine, you win. Let's all agree that "woke" is totes real and means exactly what you want it to mean. Purple haired coeds objecting to war? Woke. A head of state who was a bit on the young side and wore a sweater once? Woke. Gal Gadot singing John Lennon's "Imagine" during COVID? Woke. - ThreadSky

it's bild-zeitung. the son of one of the owners (a billionaire btw) is chief of staff at peter thiels company.

they have a fascist agenda. they want corpofascism just like in cyberpunk.

That's not Bild, it's "Der Spiegel"

Or, as some call them: "Das ehemalige Nachrichtenmagazin" ("the former news outlet")

derklardenker.bsky.social•49 days ago

oh wow. spiegel??? what tf happened to spiegel? rechtsextreme unterwanderung?

mostvexingparse.bsky.social•48 days ago

It's not just the Spiegel, it's the whole fucking society. The overton window shifted so hard to the right that even the center-left Spiegel is using fascist buzzwords

Ouch, ouch, ouch. Every day one stumbles across such pearls. I don't know what to do with my anger at these journalists. You can complain and they just talk it up. Grotesque.

"Woke" doesn't mean what it used to mean originally. Let's check what a left-leaning philosopher thinks about it:

The anti woke wave is coming and it’ll hit hard

Being "broke"--obv. "woke." Smiling? Woke. Needing anyone, for anything, ever: woke. Giving a shit? Woke. It's nothing but woke all the way down.

Ja ja jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt, wir steigern das Journo-Woke-Produkt... 🎶

wir haben canadische kollegen. behördenmitarbeiter*innen. die haben he/him she/her they/them in ihren email (!) handles.

Und das ist ein Problem?

don-rosetto.bsky.social•49 days ago

Wie man sieht - ja. Leider werden grundsätzlich wichtige Themen oft durch falsche Umsetzung zerstört. Siehe Klimaschutz (Klimakleber, überhastetes Verbrennerverbot…) und natürlich Wokeness (Gendern in jeder Lebenslage, x-Geschlechter zur Auswahl…)

es ist aus meiner sicht ungewöhlich. das kenn ich sonst von nirgends. es stört mich aber natürlich nicht.

Pointing out that maybe coups are bad? Woke. Having a black lady as a presidential candidate? Woke. More to the point: that time your co-worker told you she wasn't comfortable with the way you were staring at her? Woke. That time someone pointed out the framing of your article was crap? Woke.

I can't stand the lazy use of woke. Completely understand it's original use. Now it's just a stick to batter any right thinking adult with views that might be a teensy weensy bit kind or thoughtful.

adriandaub.bsky.social•49 days ago

"Woke" is a very precise term that serious journalists should definitely use to discuss serious issues. And it is now over. So here's my question for you: WILL YOU STOP WITH THIS FRAMING? And if not, why not?
