Exact same thing with "being politically correct" to mean "treating people with respect".

Fucking leaded gasoline
Don’t forget lead water mains and lead paint!
"Woke" has had many meanings over the years. Originally it was used as "watch out for racist police" in the black community.
Then it was picked up by right wing people, and it was given the meaning of "anti-racism" and being woke was being against racism. Being against woke became a way to say anti-anti-racism, so being pro-racism without explicitly saying so.
After that, more meaning was tacked on. It started being used for all kinds of LGBTQ+ stuff. Then it was also associated with anything leftist and eventually landed on "anything I don't like".
So yeah, it can now just as well being redefined as human rights, as right now anti-woke is just repressing other people's rights.
Spot on. It's a placeholder word for whatever vile shit they don't want to say out loud. Same as DEI, which seems to be taking over more and more.
More than that it also gets to be about things outside of rights, like representation in media. They slap that shit on everything that acknowledges that someone who isn’t a very specific kind of person might exist. It’s not technically a right to have, say, a black super hero so they’re “able” to dodge around the entire human rights discussion to continue being just reall fuckin’ awful.
Regardless of the original message, reposting a screenshot with "yup" is a shitty tweet & Musk behavior.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Never apologize for greatness
I'm here rallying against the other woke agenda.
How dare people expect me to have less than 12 hours of sleep?! Have they seen my bed? Have they felt it?? Most certainly not!
Eat a brownie and have a nap! The man has no jurisdiction under these comfy covers!!!
Where the hell do I sign up?
Unfortunately I just can't relate to this. I got a new mattress, which is great, but now my pillows are ever so slightly too short or too soft. Do you have any recommendations?
Get larger, firmer pillows?
Coincidentally these are the firmer pillows.
Try a knockoff 2-pack of my pillow.
You can adjust the loft, both through adding/removing fill and smooshing it up in different ways, and they are pretty damned stiff.
I had a regular chunk-memory-foam and loved that.. these are somehow much stiffer.. they have a mix of poly fill and the dense memory foam chunks.. I find them unusable, because soft is my jam.
I'm afraid I cannot be of help, you see I had the same issue. My current pillow was obtained after years of searching, from perhaps thousands, if not billions of pillows tested.
I know not of its name, nor origins. It satisfies me, though I often wonder what would happen once this pillow meets the same fate as the others. Tagless, innards squished to where they shall expand no more... I would like to say this keeps me up at night, though it's a decent pillow. Good luck on your quest.
Human rights for me, not for thee.
Heard about the Cairo declaration?
Yup. human rights are not universal just because a handful of nations say so.
The opposite of woke is asleep.
The Woke Mind Virus is just ideas. Nothing is more contagious than a good idea.
Bad ideas seem to be more virulent actually
Did you know there is a word for that? It's been bastardized by the internet but that's a meme by its original definition.
The sort of person who says "woke agenda" (or almost anything else involving the word "agenda") is often someone I disagree with and find unpleasant, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a specific cluster of ideas that he's referring to which I also often disagree with. I suppose I would refer to these ideas as "the social justice movement" or "modern leftism" rather than "woke". Simply defining these ideas as "human rights" is disingenuous - you might as well define them as "the truth" if you're going to simply assume that people who disagree with you cannot possibly even have a point sometimes.
So you're against human rights for all. Got it.
That's right. I'm evil simply for the sake of being evil, like Skeletor.
