    My favourite part about “woke” is that, at its heart, its just an anonymous authority fallacy.

    If you look up the actual meaning of “woke”, in this context, wiki or anything reputable will tell you it means to be aware of and not want to perpetuate discrimination in society. So, not being allowed to fire someone just for being gay would fall under the definition of “woke.”

    Now, conservatives will tell you "no, we don’t mean that stuff. Thats just “common sense.” You see, we all had a big meeting and we decided, as one, that this right here is common sense. However, everything past this over here, thats all woke nonsense that we don’t like…

    Of course, that meeting never took place.

    What, can’t you understand what were saying here? How come we all know what we mean by common sense and you don’t? You’re not stupid are you?..

    So simple and obvious that they, apparently, can’t explain or define their own meaning.
