WAKE UP TO RIGHT-WING NEWSPEAK: WOKE, WOKE, WOKE...


George Orwell's 1984 gets invoked a lot these days, but what happened to the word "woke" is exactly what was intended with Newspeak. 

Per Wikipedia, "Orwell explains that Newspeak follows most rules of English grammar, yet is a language characterised by a continually diminishing vocabulary; complete thoughts are reduced to simple terms of simplistic meaning." 

With "woke" we see the entire project of humanism reduced to a stupid insult. Shamefully, many political commentators not on the authoritarian right still use this lazy shorthand to belittle activists or anything vaguely socially conscious, invoking the right's pejorative framing.

Woke means defending things that wouldn't survive Darwinian evolution. Things like, criminals, queers, homosexuals, transvestites, and other losers.

All insults aside Juan, this is your worst, most pathetic article yet.
Woke is everything that is wrong with America right now. It is the tool used by George Soros and the masters of the financial universe to morally divide and destroy this country.
We all see the wonders of "woke" in California or saw the "independent zones" in Portland and Seattle.
If you love woke go live there, pay state income tax, go steal from stores with the other woke lovers.

FUCK WOKE, DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!!!

Mexican Americans, Tejanos, Texans need to invent a word that is used all over the world and then the meaning changes and it becomes a "skunk term".

Not tacos. Not vato. those are sacred words.

How about "barrio" ?
