You’ll surely get different definitions if you ask different people, but I think that’s okay, more or less. Because in general, Americans are sick of it, and DeSantis stands against it.
The precise definition is similarly unimportant with any divisive topic. That’s an inadequate standard for academic research, but we’re talking about voting for politicians here. It’s okay to accept ambiguity.
Ok, ambiguity aside what does it mean? Why is it bad?
Woke is shorthand for the neo-marxist program to destroy western civilization. It pretends people are group-members instead of individuals. While classical Marxism did the same thing, grouping people into the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, neo-marxism divides people into various identity groups, mostly involving acts of disgustingly perverted sexual immorality, superficial skin color, and religious affiliation. Traditional American values are discarded by the woke worldview. Just as classical Marxism claimed that normal well-adjusted people who’d been successful at earning their own living were somehow “bad”, woke neo-marxism claims that any normal person is bad. That means its practitioners openly discriminate against conservative white Christian men, especially if they practice heterosexual behavior in a traditional marriage. Woke manifests as DEI, BLM, and ESG. It involves indoctrinating children to believe God makes mistakes, and that kids should dismiss God and follow Satan to whatever pleasures of the flesh and disgusting perversions of morality they can imagine. Some of the current woke activities most celebrated by its practitioners include genital mutilation of children without their parents knowledge and slaughtering innocent human beings before birth. The woke eschew traditional families, traditional behavior, and traditional values. They are steadily working to dismantle western civilization, aka Christendom. Basically it’s Satan’s work in advance of the Rapture, and it’s well documented in quite a bit of detail in end-times scripture. I hope that satisfactorily answers your questions.
It’s a bit all over the place, but it’s at least something.
How do you know that this is accurate?
How does anyone know anything is accurate? It’s my personal attempt to summarize a huge topic based on my personal experience. YMMV.
Evidence
Evidence is nothing more than someone’s best assessment of their sensory data. Truth comes from God, and we know that from faith, which is stronger than any evidence based belief. All in all, we speak what we believe to be true, and it’s not a great use of your time to question that.
Wow. I mean. I’m honestly not surprised at how mask off this comment is, but I never thought one of you would be so explicit that you don’t actually care about what’s true or not. I almost don’t believe you’re not trolling
I’m not trolling you, but it sounds like you grossly misunderstood me, which is my fault for not communicating better. Sorry, I was tired when I wrote that. I’ll try to explain what I meant.
I stand behind my definition of “woke”, as it is what I believe to be true based on mountains of evidence over the years. That evidence is readily available pretty much everywhere you look online, unless you bury your head in leftist echo chambers. Also when you go to church and talk with your neighbors, assuming you live in a relatively normal American small town, it is one of the main topics of conversation, and has been for a long time.
That being said, everything I just wrote in the last paragraph is anecdotal based on my personal experience. Other normal conservatives may agree with my definition of “woke”, yet if you were to ask them for their own it obviously wouldn’t be verbatim what I wrote. Moreover if you do bury your head in leftist echo chambers, live in an urban hell-hole, and never go to church or talk with normal people, you might be completely out of touch with reality. You might think “woke” is somehow a good thing, and that perception would be your evidence, based on your personal experience.
I said you grossly misunderstood me because you said I don’t care about truth, which is false. I care deeply about truth, more than anything. When we talk about truth, we talk about God. Jesus told us that he is the way, the truth, and the life. Everything we know to be true comes from God. As for evidence, we find abundant evidence of God’s handiwork everywhere we look, and especially in our hearts. But despite that evidence, we trust in God out of faith, because faith trumps evidence every single time. Evidence is just a personal interpretation of sensory data, whereas faith gives us direct access to the truth that is God.
I certainly know how to have fun trolling on rare occasion when the mood strikes, but no, none of what I’ve written here is trolling.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume you’re talking about the christian god.
Anyways, if that’s the case, that truth comes from god, then how come there are thousands of denominations of christianity?
Good guess that I was referring to the one true living God! It sure is easy to communicate with fellow conservatives, but it’s awfully suspicious to read those disrespectful minuscules.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the Tower of Babel, which answers that question about divisions. However, all of the denominations (with extremely rare exception) agree on the essentials of Christianity.
