Yup they think they are the open minded ones or whomever doesn’t immediately fall down to them and refer to their words as gospel as not open minded or interested in ‘a discussion’.

Also there is no way the second dude isn’t going. He’s going and hes going to bs and eat and drink beer and belch, no matter who else is going to be there.

If it’s anything like my brothers family they’ll be the first ones in line for food and the first ones to leave too.

That’s probably being kind compared to what would be said if it actually were a problem.

I still haven’t looked into what “woke” actually means, but from what I can tell, it seems to mean anything far-right people don’t like.

Yeah, seems like “woke” is anything we’re not supposed to approve of this month.

I do find the word “woke” incredibly useful.

The moment the word exits someone’s mouth (as a complaint), I save a ton of energy on how to handle any further information they share (highly suspect).

Edit: I’ve actually discovered some great art and culture by being warned away from it’s “wokeness”, too.

In left-leaning spaces it means “cognizant of the injustice pervading society”. On the right it means “uppity”.

that’s why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness

It actually comes from African-American culture and has a history that’s several decades old.

It’s why the word was co-opted by the Far Right, and popularised as an insult. Otherwise they’d have to say “kind”.

Hahahah that’s what they want you to think. Woke is from like the 60s. Do some research on it. It’s pretty interesting.
