holy shit, she defined it as "the belief we should re-do society in order to create hierarchies of oppression." Like I'm not even a reactionary scumbag and I could define what they mean better than that. Wokeness as they say it is "a collection of beliefs that propose that mainstream society contains a multitude of oppressive practices not limited to racism, transphobia, and exploitation of poor people. Adherents of wokeness believe they have a moral duty to end these oppressive structures."
they can't define it like that because it sounds too reasonable. What, are you for oppression? Is racism not real? They can't give good definitions of what wokeness is or else they'll just sound like maniacs.
they can’t define it like that because it sounds too reasonable.
that's a best case scenario, like if you were arguing on the news that Silicon Valley Bank failed because it was "too woke" and then you were asked, "ok but what does woke mean and how did that contribute to SVB's demise", what answer can you possibly give that doesn't make you sound like an insane person
they can't really answer something like that directly. The only way to sound normal is they have to complain about diversity requirements or mandatory sensitivity training. They take the faux progressiveness of a bank at face value.
with specific questions like "how does wokeness hurt a company and what does it mean" they'll maybe spew transphobia or panic about bathrooms, they'll maybe say it's actually sexist to hire too many women, maybe they'll say there's an anti-white agenda. Honestly they'll just say the same things as what that one Google employee did years ago. The guy who wrote that bizarre manifesto about how women are genetically disinclined to do coding work.
I don't think there's a way to avoid sounding insane, but there are ways of saying it to sound reasonable to the average American who doesn't know anything
Its an awkward joke to me too but I think the point of the joke is "what happened with the anti-woke lady is like if Karl Marx couldnt define capitalism" not "Karl Marx probably couldn't define capitalism if asked" so idg the reaction in here.
Author of an "anti-woke" book was asked to define "woke" live on TV/Youtube and just went "uuuh, ooom, uuumm" for like ~30 seconds.
It would be a good joke if they just posted a picture of a wall of text with tiny font that took 10 minutes to read.
