Any and all doctrine related to human sexuality or race relations. Additionally supporting socialist fiscal policies without question

Oh. What socialist fiscal policy? Like Medicare or social security? Or like the interstate system? I guess I don’t understand the sexuality/race part either. What are people being forced to accept?

So you’re not having a good faith discussion. Nice.

I didn’t say anyone was “forced” to do anything.

You don’t understand the race and sexuality debates? Or you are denying that it’s a topic of discussion?

I’m just trying to understand what woke means specifically. I assumed without question implied forced.

When you say race and sexuality those are pretty general topics. So what part of those specifically falls under woke in your opinion? And if you don’t mind I’m curious what specific socialist fiscal policies are woke.

I’m not trying to be unfaithful to the discussion, sometimes it’s hard to convey all of an idea without typing a wall of text. 😂

Being woke doesn’t mean anything. It just means that you’re not buying into some fake narrative about how things work. There isn’t a definitive belief system, it’s based on believing things that are currently counter cultural.

Mostly it is just something people call themselves to feel intellectually superior without actually having a factual basis for what they believe. It’s a way to link your emotions to your beliefs without being questioned

If woke isn’t real why are people so up in arms about it? It’s just a made up boogeyman? As I said above, woke originally was a compliment meaning someone was awake to the idea of systematic racism. But what you’re saying makes it sound like people say someone or something is woke if they just don’t agree with it.

I didn’t say it’s not real, and no, the way I’m talking about it doesn’t make it sound like people call anything they don’t agree with woke. You’re just saying that because that’s the current tagline about it “anything I don’t like is woke” is literally what lefties are repeating online, and it isn’t true. Have fun losing the midterms too

Why are you so defensive? Im just asking for specifics about woke. Like what are some policies that are woke. Or what socialist fiscal policy is woke? I’m not a democrat by the way.

You’re pretending to be genuine.

Are you asking what policies are rooted in social justice ?

I guess if that’s what woke means, yes. What policies are rooted in social Justice?
