I think woke was a cool word with important meaning for a while, and it has some great historical context behind it that made it work. Reactionary media did what they always do though and I think it's safe to say the word has completely lost all meaning outside of those aforementioned historical contexts. These days everything is "woke" and the new reactionary concept of "woke" is so far from what woke actually means as to render the term useless.

What word are they going to ruin next? How will they ruin it? Am I being the reactionary by thinking that woke has been ruined as a word? Place your bets below

    Baizuo basically means what right wingers think woke means, I suspect as Chinese Americans assimilate into American culture and get chuddified it might make it into the popular consciencesness.

      This one will be extra fun if it hits the mainstream because you'll get a slurry of completely ignorant pronunciations of it

        Not to mention the potential for chud-on-chud violence as the ones who can pronounce it correctly get called ebil CCP-loving commies by the ones who can't.

      No doubt libs will seize on the excuse to further ramp up their sinophobia.

      Rod Dreher used the term sometimes, but also he's the weirdest man who's ever lived and had his own vocabulary

      I think Baizuo has had its day, such as it was. Nobody says it any more. I don't think even Chinese say it.

      CHUDs love to claim to be endlessly fighting for white people's interests, but they have invented more slurs for white people than the left.
