can’t forgive whiteness for what it did to the word “woke”

there are good faith ways of identifying a tendency you don’t like as “identity politics” but if you identify the same tendency as “woke·ism” in the same sentence i’m gonna think that’s sus as hell

@aescling woke literally means conscious. “damn these people have to much consciousness” like buddy wtf are you on

@aescling meanwhile white people talk about being “pilled” like it's a good thing

Follow

@Lady something something their preoccupation with being “[free]based”

@aescling lil b is the originator of the term based; i’m pointing out that white people’s interpretation of “based” as antiwoke is revisionist and incorrect

@Lady i mean i would argue the word has just been culture-jacked at this point but yeah

@aescling not sure i agree; white nationalist culture is a bubble and has not proven that it has enduring power
