If someone disagrees with you, just claim, they’re racist, sexist, Trumper, transphobic and it allows you to bail out of your losing argument.
It’s actually pretty ingenious because it works on white guilt. The woke now argues that highways, gyms, schools, churches, and grocery stores are racist.

it’s a combination of helicopter parenting, academic indoctrination, “supportive” elders, big corporations/big government/big media reinforcing these ideologies
One example, Harpeth Hall, an all girls college prep school allowing biological men (transgender women) to enroll.
The elite, all-girls college prep academy in Green Hills continues to examine gender diversity and how to approach school policies regarding the admission of non-binary and transgender students, the statement said. The letter contained brief guidelines for addressing the question of admissions, but used open-ended language and emphasized an individual basis for enrollment decisions based on gender identity.
Another example is women protesting for women's reproductive rights, claiming the RvW decision pushed back women's rights decades, yet support biological men (transgender women) competing against them in sports.
Another one: Biden Admin Replaces 'Mothers' With 'Birthing People' in Maternal Health Guidance
Great list. Another thing is choosing females or minorities for political positions or out in mainstream for jobs over whites even if the latter is better qualified. Even worse is stating up front that they are going to do that without even giving whites consideration for those positions. I'm sure there are more wokism examples to but this is just another one. Preaching CRT is another example of it.
At least as far back as this newspaper clipping from Mississippi in 1860, "Wide Awakes" was used as a euphemism and pejorative for abolitionists. Lincoln supporters described as being ''Wide Awakes,'' since many Lincolnites were card carrying members of the Wide Awake Club. Apparently, they were ''woke'' long before now.
My take is that currently "woke" means "on the right side of history."
Thanks for that history lesson. I had not heard about the Wide Awakes.
So since way back in 1860, woke has meant anti-racist. And just like in 1860, there are still racists today, mostly white men, who oppose it and call it evil. Witness most of the responses on this thread.
You'd have to define what you mean by "wokeism". Also, define what you mean by "Anglo-Saxon protestantism". Anglo-Saxons were Germanic tribes that migrated to England over 1000 years ago.
Probably you'e thinking of WASPs (white anglo-saxon protestants) which was a term to identify privileged white people in America who looked down on, not only blacks and other minorities, but also "swarthy" europeans like Italians, Greeks and Slavs, as well as Catholics.

The thing is this. The woke stuff that we are seeing only exist in the United States and the wider white Anglo Saxon nations. This way of thing, lifestyle and ideology does not exist in Latin speaking nations like France and Mexico does not exist in Greece, does not exist I. Slavic nations, Islamic, Asian nations and to some extent, low teir Anglo nations like Fiji or a guyana. This ideology is also imperialistic tendencies and tries to push itself to make other nations bend a knee for LGBTQ and women gender rights. So yes. Woke is an Anglo Saxon ideogly at the moment. Anglo Saxons help establish protestantism, liberalism, Marxism, capitalism. I guess the Anglo Saxon wants the world to be a better place. Btw im catholic.
I read every word. Just more nonsense, but at least I can take it for entertainment, like I do the rantings from Alex Jones and Mark Adams.
You laugh at Taratova's post but it is completely correct. I just posted this in another thread so I'll copy and past it here because it pertains to this "woke" discussion as well.
1 After George Floyd the left used it and abused it, what started as reform of police turned into all out attack on whiteness and the founding fathers. Remember the girl that got kicked out of college because someone who had a grudge against her dragged out a comment she made as a young teen saying the N word and leftist mobs came down on her and the college kicked her out because?
2 Remember the hispanic utility worker in California who was fired because someone photoed him making a so called "ok" sign with his hand out of the window of his truck when for all we know he was flicking a booger or cigarette?
3 How about Gina Carano who a leftist mob on Twitter DEMANDED she put pronouns on her Twitter and because she stood up to them they got her fired from the mandalorian show?
4 Or how about all those mobs of antifa and BLM people who harassed people in restaurants and cafe's and on the streets demanding they raise their fist in compliance otherwise be attacked?
5 Or how about the people assaulted publicly for just wearing a MAGA hat or shirt"
6 how about the thousands of people who lost their jobs because they would not bow to the left on vaccines? Biden openly said "fire them!"
That is just a small example of the violence, harassment, intimidation tactics and bullying by the leftists in the last few years.
You will never hear a apology from them for that in fact to this day they rejoice in the fact that they made a person who wouldn't submit jobless, homeless, financially ruined, even dead.
That's what communists/Marxists have also done and still do, they will NEVER apologize for all that , whether if they destroy the lives of one person or ten million it doesn't matter because people don't really matter in the cult of communism ,communism at it's core is violent and authoritarian. And now they are in the white house and congress, and as they become more desperate the more they will double down on authoritarian measures.
What was Trump's greatest achievement? Well it might be exposing how much and how deep the Marxist had infiltrated America because he made them come out in the light.
Wokeism came from the darkest deepest depths of evil to destroy our humanity and we must defeat it for our own survival.
