Complaining about “woke”, when woke just means you’re aware of the oppression inherent in the system, is such a tell. It tells me you’re a dumb hateful piece of shit and your opinion is invalid.
Using the term woke as a pejorative is beyond stupid. As you said they are thick as bricks.
I’m torn. Because people that use the word tend to be assholes. I dont think I’ve ever heard anyone use it but right-wing types. Usually talking heads, influencers and by extention their extremely committed audience.
So I tend to get immediately defensive when I hear it.
But also, if we dont talk to each other and find common ground we will never be able to work towards our common goals.
Class solidarity is more important to get our common wants met.
But the types that say ‘woke’ are definitely in the cult to some degree.
I can’t think of a single word on the left that has the same weight. Not because there aren’t extremes but because usually the extremes are more varried and divided.
Right winger standard operation consists of stealing things from others, pretending those things are theirs, destroying those things through ineptitude, and then getting mad at everyone else for the things they stole getting destroyed.
Language, symbols, movements, entire countries and economies, etc…
We will never have common ground with them. Goals, maybe if they didn’t vote against their own self interests leave them in the past, vote in leftist and progressives. The world will get better without them
I made my early career in the union. We were always told vote with our wallet. I would get so pissed when some dude from the right-to-work state would come to our local job market to make $30 an hour and then bitch about the dems.
Like dude, I get it, but at least they’re pretending to care. Your red state fucked your career so bad that you had to drive here to make a living wage.
I cant even imagine how fucked the trades are now. Republicans did a good job at taking the builders of this country and turning them into simps and boot lickers.
That said, superman still isn’t woke: as he spends most of his time upholding said system…
Wow, thats a lot of diversity - white, black, asian and ranga.
Because of his religion, race, or national origin…
Judge things in context. This was pretty cutting edge for them
1967Bem just stands there nonchalant lmao
Superman is woke, and woke is a good thing.
This is also true.
Kindness is the new punk rock.
Kindness was always punk rock.
yes superman is super based
This line of thought (Superman is “woke” now) wouldn’t be a fucking thing if Byrne and Miller had been told “no”
This is why these mouthbreathers think Kal being kind is wrong.
What’s the context here? I did a quick search and only found that Byrne did a re-write of Superman’s origins in 1986 Man of Steel comic.
Byrne and Miller both decided Superman was a Reagan conservative. Miller in Dark Knight Returns, and Byrne in Legends and later Superman vol. 2
So the person who wrote this thinks there are “woke” things? I wonder what those are. Anyone with more than two brain cells and normal empathy knows that there’s no such thing as “woke”, it’s a dumb and hateful term and should never be used other than in reference to those who use it.
The term woke is actually over a hundred years old, and originally meant awareness of racism. Over time, it expanded to awareness of gender inequality, LGBTQIA+ rights, etc.

Stay woke.
So essentially means not being a conservative?
Plenty of liberals act like civil rights and gay marriage meant racism/homophobia was over and don’t like to acknowledge the ways the system still oppresses us.
Plenty of Allies act like because they aren’t a bigot personally, they’ve done their part fighting bigotry.
More like not being a Nazi, but yeah basically.
It’s less to do with political views, and more to do with social issues.
What’s the context here? Who is saying supermen is “woke” and why?
It’s good not to underestimate how effective propaganda can be on those enmeshed in different algorithmic circles. Instead of ‘evil’ I would say ‘blind’. But it’s a fair point.
It functionally doesn’t matter anymore.
