And typically, Boomers love lethal vigilante violence against minorities

Neely was an active threat to the other passengers, including many ethnic minorities. Daniel Penny is a hero but because of your Woke worldview everything is filtered through your "oppressor/oppressed" framework. People are treated not as individuals with equal intrinsic moral worth but as members of various identity groups whose worth depends on where they fall on the Woke hierarchy.

Your worldview really is despicable and antithetical to liberalism.

Please define woke

u/ChanceAd3606 17d ago

It's an ideology that forces every and all interactions and altercations to be viewed through the lens of race, nationality, or sexuality.

I got a completely different definition from the person I was talking to. Where do you get yours?

It's the definition in my own words. If you want the Webster dictionary definition:

aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

Not exactly the same as my definition, but pretty damn close.

My question is, how do you NOT know what woke means at this point? Do you live under a rock?

No, that's wrong.

It's an ideology that forces every and all interactions and altercations to be viewed through the lens of race, nationality, or sexuality.

Being aware and attentive is very much different from being forced.

Also can I ask what merit your definition of a word is?

My question is, how do you NOT know what woke means at this point? Do you live under a rock?

It's called a prodding question, to get you to reveal the fact you apparently have your own definitions for words...
