> This is probably an even worse “platitude”. Most people go with the flow so if you’re immersed in a lot of wokism, you will probably end up being woke eventually. Then it just spreads, especially if you couple the wokism with humor. Wokism is tribalism and seems naturally engrained so it’s something you have to actively resist.
Funny how well a simple word replacement can work.

Assuming you’re serious and not just trolling - what even is wokism, aside from a name thrown at people you disagree with? Bigotry is a known, studied phenomenon. Are you saying there is not a natural tendency to prefer one’s own kind and mistrust foreigners? Are you saying that groupthink respects no particular ideology?
Wokism is a rejection of common sense, exchanged with an embrace of exotic rationalization flowers bred in the left-leaning echo chamber hothouses of academia and Tumblr.
You can reduce anything to "a name thrown at people you disagree with", and anything can be "a known, studied phenomenon". Especially if researchers can safely study it when academia is captured by an ideology that's hostile to certain viewpoints. ;D
Weird, I can't seem to find that definition anywhere. The general council of Governor DeSantis defined it in court as the following:
> the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them
I have a feeling you're describing a personally held belief rather than a societally accepted definition, which would explain why yours seems to single out specific groups and views you (assumedly) disagree with.
I think urban dictionary did a pretty good job on this one:
“Woke
When this term became popularized, initially the meaning of this term was when an individual become more aware of the social injustice. Or basically, any current affairs related like biased, discrimination, or double-standards.
However, as time passed by, people started using this term recklessly, assigning this term to themselves or someone they know to boost their confidence and reassure them that they have the moral high grounds and are fighting for the better world. And sometimes even using it as a way to protect themselves from other people's opinion, by considering the 'outsider' as non-woke. While people that are in line with their belief as woke. Meaning that those 'outsiders' have been brainwash by the society and couldn't see the truth. Thus, filtering everything that the 'outsider' gives regardless whether it is rationale or not.
And as of now, the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion.”
