Comment & Analysis: Here's why "woke" is a stupid "argument"

"Woke" is a word which is mainly used by right-wing extremists who aren't capable of giving a strong or valid argument.

The word "woke" is usually used by right-wing political extremists and conspiracy theorists when they are questioned about the misinformation or hatred that they are spreading.


"Woke" is now being used as an "insult" against anyone who isn't a racist or a bully despite the word meaning awake, well-informed, or socially alert to injustice, according to most UK dictionaries. In other words, the people who use the word are claiming to be fast asleep or unable to tolerate diversity or different opinions to theirs.


Perhaps these right-wing conspiracy theorists and extremists should get a life and learn how to give a strong and smart argument without using the word "woke" because more people would listen to them if they did this; however, they seem to be too stupid to understand this, so they're highly unlikely to give a strong argument anytime soon. In fact, I don't even think they're capable of doing this because they don't often have an argument to give, and even when they do have an argument, it's usually weak and easy to destroy in less than a minute.


Using the word "woke" instead of giving an argument is easy, and anyone can do it; however, not everyone can give a strong argument, so people are more likely to listen to those who give a strong, mature, and sensible argument rather than those who scream "woke" at their audiences.


"Woke" is a compliment to people who are awake and alert to injustice, not an insult towards left-wingers.
