Woke as a conceptual belief is very pleasing and helps us understand the rights (no pun intended) from wrong. But man that term is just cringy to say. I wish we had a more suiting and very gratifying term for how we appreciate other cultures and always punch up to those Fascist imperialists who try to detain their freedom and socialism for the sake of sort kind of sadist status quo.
In layman’s term I want a new nickname to express my left wing Pro PC views.
I thinking of using the term “The Progressive Rise”, IMO it has a bit of quirk to it but I don’t know. What would you like to rename “Woke” to make it seem like we are all equal as a community?
Stay Progressive, Stay Beautiful.

Normal? Human? Socially aware?
Saw someone the other day describe Portland as 'full of whimsical anarchists" or something.
People saying “woke” to describe things they don’t like is brilliant.
It means you know immediately whether or not someone is a moron and so makes it easy to avoid them
And if they use ‘wokism’ that just an extra level of idiocy.
Progressives are terrifically creative at coming up with new language. We’re so good at it that we freely abandon old phrases the moment the right picks them up as pejoratives.
I say stop. Woke is great. Also start marching on defund the motherfucking police again.
Why are you the authority to change how people talk? At the risk of sounding harsh: no one cares what you think.
I usually just call myself a communist and it gets the message across
I feel like the term woke has too much history with progressive movements to change now
Do you know the roots of the word’s usage in this sense? “Correcting” it is far more cinge-worthy in my book
