I disagree.being woke means you are an identitarian. rather then accepting traditional left wing orthodoxy that race, sex, sexual preferences are not important to your identity, identitarians instead embrace the opposite idea. They believe sex, gender and race is very important to your identity. Identitarians believe only certain races should perform certain cultural rituals (they developed the concept of cultural appropriation as a bad thing). identitarians believe racism is something only white people can do. differences in sexual preferences are all social constructs created by men rather then a function of biological differences. Gender is not determined by body parts but is instead determined by feelings (As to whst those feelings are i dont think anyone can describe).
I'm 'woke', and I believe it's a good thing.
I don't accept or support the people who are behind bastardising the term.
I don't think woke means anything that you've stated. I think you've given a mix of extremist positions, and anti-'left' rhetoric.
Identitarian movements seem to be about far-right, racist, bigotry.
Identitarians seem to suggests that a persons race determines all aspects about them. And moving to enforce superiority over what they consider inferior.
That's very different to the 'woke movement' saying that discrimination against race/women/elderly et al, is a bad thing.
