woke came out of aave and was more widely popularized in 2014 via blm

edit: parent edited from "woke" to "woke culture gone wild" after i posted this

It’s literally in the platform of the Republican Party to “fight woke culture”

Many lefties, myself included, see identity politics as a means to divide the working class and ignore class issues. It isn't only that, there are real idpol issues. However, fixing the class issues is how we will achieve better outcomes for all, including underprivileged minorities, but also poor white people. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

it's also in the platform of many leftists. woke culture debases woke politics and gives cover to neoliberals' authoritarian, anti-worker policy

And that’s the problem in this comment pool to call out, clearly.

i was adding some color to help you understand why "woke culture" isn't the dog whistle you think it is

edit: friend, why do you keep editing your comments to make them have a different overall meaning after i reply?
