So it turns out I’m “woke.”
This whole time I thought I was just educated, cared about others, trusted experts, and believed in facts.

Ya don’t say?
Woke just means that you care about people & that you have compassion & empathy for your fellow human beings.
will get stronger.
It has been in usage in this way since the 30s, coined by a Black writer.
facts, truth? experts?
Untill 1870 the world believed ALL the stars were in the Milky Way. Then we discovered a universe and exo-planets. If I would have said in 1700 that we have a bigger space, i would be laughed at, ridiculed, and even put in a nuthouse.
In India there are many places a cow is holy, and of course never to be eaten (truth)
We go to jail for harming animals (truth)
In Asian countries they mass produce them for food, like we massproduce cow, chicken and pigs. (truth)
Every time we go 1 baby step further, we think we know it all. Every time!
I had to do exams in history about the PYRAMIDS. all theorys and even people saying facts, but then they found the basement (20 years later). About 80% i HAD to learn was wrong from that moment on!
World-orientated, kind and empathic.
It's a scarlet letter of some sort.
Stay woke.
MAGA just sees "Woke" as "Other, to be hated", with no reasoning behind it.
Be glad to be woke.
I thought i just had trouble sleeping at night.

I guess it’s never been cool to be educated, care for others and trust science and facts. But I haven’t changed and I do pat my head for that small victory 😂
I just responded "colonize" to somebody. They responded that I was being.... I don't know, woke or something.
I didn't bother to tell him great grandmother was 100% native California. 😎💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
MAGA claims all that Jesus-stuff (compassion… awareness… humanity… charity… decency) are the worst things you could be.
They prefer brutish cruelty and selfish amorality.
Guess you and I had best give up any hopes of becoming Red Hats. 😟 #maga #TruthWarriors
What’s “all”? Which “night” are you referring to. Which topic are you talking about? I’ve been pretty clear and too polite.
Anybody who doesn’t know that Rs want to cut SS must live in a Fox News cave.
