      I don’t get why we don’t call the “anti-woke” crowd “the asleep.” It seems like if they want to treat becoming awakened as an insult, we should be reminding them that they’re the ones who have their eyes closed and are attempting to ignore all of history.

      The optimist in me believes that some day the majority of them will wake up, the same way the majority of Germans eventually denounced the nazi party.

        The majority of Germans denounced the nazi party because of social pressure to conform, which is coincidentally the same reason the majority of Germans went along with the nazi party when they were in power. The majority of people in general are so politically disengaged that they may as well be leaves blowing in the wind.

      I just tell them to go to sleep then if they are so concerned about being woke. They won’t see the woke if they aren’t woke.
