Tweet von @CasioWiser:Anonymous got that woke mind virus @elonmusk Antwort von @YourAnonNews: You fools throw around the word "woke" like it's some kind of slur, it's actually quite funny. You probably don't know the meaning of the word, so let us school your tiny little mind. The word means that we're alert to social injustices - such as racism and discrimination, that we're cool with LGBTQ+ rights, we're aware of economic disparities between the super-rich and working class, and that we're cool with equal rights for all people. So - when you use it as a slur, we understand that you are against these things - that you are pro racism and discrimination, that you are not ok with LGBTQ+ people and you're cool with the super-rich raping the working class - and that you're not ok with equal rights. Don't hide, just come out and say it - tell everyone you're a Nazi.

Understanding is woke

[–] EatMyPixelDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Nope, and if you ask them to explain what they mean by woke, they can't.

[–] lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

To the average person, woke is just the new, more concise word for politically correct.

Didn't watch, but I have to say I am super anti-woke in the morning; I really, really love sleep.

The only anti-woke cap I respect:

Why were those ever a thing?

[–] learn2swim@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

Because houses were cold af in the winter.

I think we should take back control of the term 'woke'. Be woke and proud. Have blue hats with WOKE on them, stuff like that.

The MAGA's have made 'woke' a bad thing and they are controlling the narrative around it now. Originally Woke was a positive word. I think we should go for reappropriation.

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

And with that in mind - Superman is absolutely woke.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 13 hours ago

its too ingrained in maga-society now, since its thier primary concern of policy nationally.

Woke means "aware of systemic inequality". It's been part of the English language for a hundred years, and the definition hasn't shifted much.

When a Republican says they're "anti-woke", they mean that they are in favor of hiding systemic inequality, because they want to preserve it. They're usually using the word correctly, even though they've failed to define it explicitly.

[–] oldwoodenship@lemmus.org 5 points 12 hours ago

That’s because the current iteration of Republicans rely on a perceived system of social hierarchies. There are in groups and out groups. The quiet part out loud is that inequality is the outcome being sought not some unfortunate byproduct of the system they intend to implement.

It's the same as anti-antifa

Yeah. Being woke requires you to be aware of what is happening.

Superman just shows up, and says "TIME TO SAVE PEOPLE!!!". But he in general doesn't know anything.

To be woke, he'd need knowledge of WHY the orphanage is on fire. He just happened to be flying around, saw a fire, and saved the orphans.

He'd be much angrier if he knew the orphanage was on fire because state legislatures cut funding to support the orphanage all so some dipship govenor can buy a 6th yacht.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The latest one smashed a few planes and tanks, and dropped a dictator on a cactus. I don't think he was just stopping by for a rescue.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I didn't know superman had wings and swung a mace around.

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 1 points 7 hours ago

He was fighting a billionaire and got his friends to do it.

I mean... he is also a reporter and a genius. Chances are he's well aware of inequalities.

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 37 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Superman got his start beating up slum lords. That's not a joke. Superman started out as the sort of guy who rooted out corruption. The "aw, shucks" version of Superman is both a bit of a later development (and also kind of the persona that he takes on as Clark Kent)

He’s all too aware. As powerful as he is, he doesn’t have the ability to solve everyone’s problems everywhere all the time. This is a source of tremendous grief for him. That’s the whole reason he’s a compelling character and not just wish fulfillment.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

I mean, ge did try to solve all the problems once, that lead to the injustice story.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 63 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

He seems delightfully woke to me.

It's the new "politically correct". Like a good political slogan it means whatever the listener wants it to mean. Political impressionism? Conservative groups knew they hit the jackpot with PC and have been trying to replicate it for years. "Social Justic Warrior" flopped, too wordy. "Woke" really worked for them

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Woke = Not asleep. Both in body and mind.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 20 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

On the one hand, his arch nemesis is an extremely wealthy CEO, so was ahead of its time in that regard. On the other, Superman refuses to do harm, even to him, when the truly woke would eat such a person in a heartbeat.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This is now the bar for me accepting Superman as woke. He is gonna have to guillotine Lex Luther. If he just Karate chops his head off, I will let that count as well.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

didnt the version of superman that killed Lex Luther also create an evil authoritarian state?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 2 points 11 hours ago

That Superman killed the Joker because the Joker killed Lois.
