Has been since Bush.

Whoah how did you type those words that are illegal to say? You must be so brave

Trans people wanted to play recreational sports and that was too much for some people to handle.

I don't know if these people have encountered bullies on the playground

I think it began to just mean being respectful of everyone, and aware of what's happening in the world--ie being awake. MAGA blew it up into some kind of militant identity

The LatinX stuff is almost entirely manufactured agitprop, just like the CRT shit. Actual Hispanic people do sometimes use a soft "eh" instead of of a hard "o" or "a" for disambiguation and the latinX thing was more an observation and academic discussion of this than any real attempt at prescriptive language. Literally the only people who pushed that narrative were the ones trying to weaponize it.

Is the “woke crowd” in the room with us right now or have a few convenient fringe cases been cherry-picked to fit the fascist propaganda narrative?

Those who used woke as a pejorative never did so in good faith, it has always been overt racism.

Woke is now a made up term. It no longer has a clear definition. It no longer has a consistent meaning. It does not "depend on when you became politically conscious." it depends on if you understand and recognize yellow journalism as a thought terminating practice rather than an intelligent one.

There is no debate here. The entire conversation in the article is based on a false perspective of history as determined by the propaganda written about it rather than true events.

This article might as well be titled, "Did Jews leave us worse off?"

Because it's literally written from the same falsely framed perspective as that statement is, and you unfortunately carried it further.

Specifically, from your summary:

"The woke crowd created problems that pushed people away that may have mostly agreed with them."

Is not a real thing that happened. This is history as perceived by its oppressors. You might as well be stating, "The Jews created problems that pushed people away that may have mostly agreed with them."

That problem Jews created? Existing. The problem "woke" created? Existing.

Same with "Illegal Immigrants." Same with "Trans" Same with every single marginalized group our current oligarchs can easily blame to shift the conversation away from them stealing your tax dollars through Reagonomics to start a international child sex trafficking network.

They're framing history as if the actions of these people and concepts are bad, despite the bad actions ONLY existing within the Propaganda they created.

Did trans people create bathroom problems that pushed people into passing bathroom laws and banning them? Or did they exist at a time there was a constant stream of propaganda saying they were?

Okay. Now ask yourself the same about "woke." Did they actually create problems? Or did their voices exist at a time when there was a constant stream of propaganda saying they were creating a problem?

That's why there's a negative shift in perspective between the 90's and 2000's. That's when Fox News and post 9-11 conservative propaganda started. There was no magical political awakening. It was when the fairness doctrine died and letting idiots on TV say the dumbest most un-American and unintelligent things imaginable became legal. Now to the point where propaganda is the primary perspective coming from nearly all our news channels, so we as a society can no longer easily determine what's real from what's a paid talking point.

So that's why Science is now questionable. Why our Education is now questionable. And the sustainability of our economy is now questionable.

Having intelligent discussions about all of those things was what "woke" started as. And our oligarchs hated that it always boiled down to them needing to pay more to improve them. So instead of paying for a country with better science, education, and a healthy economy, they paid to convince you all those things weren't needed, or were under attack by "woke" and that's why they were deteriorating.

So now we can't have a sincere discussion about politics without needing to first overcome the needlessly unintelligent shit people believe is real.

Like the concept that "woke" pushed anyone away instead of the manufactured propaganda around it that did. We're cooked if every political conversation needs to start with a discussion on whats real or paid propaganda, but here we are.

EDIT: Updated my opening statement to be more clear on my position and that there is indeed an actual real meaning to woke.

But wokeness is something they made up to be a big problem so they could tear it down.

People still don't understand this was an artificially inflated debate.
