Interesting and enjoyable. I had to look up "wokeness" and with some references, this is a general definition i liked: "Wokeness: awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice."

Well "awareness" is certainly the positive first step a person must take to change themselves or their society.

Then when some decide to 'do something' about what s/he wants to change, another society is on the way towards positive change, just as person changing themselves might be.

Poking fun at anything can be constructive and sometimes therapeutic.

Nevertheless, as someone who has spent his life working on social and racial justice issues, i assure anyone who is concerned that fighting for justice for all is a functional attribute of any user-friendly society. Not a religion; but principles like love thy neighbours whoever they are is a common theme. LOL

Even those who poke fun at recovering-hippies like me are obviously thinking about "perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice." How ironic is that?

Welcome to "wokeness." LOL We must be getting close a Tipping Point, i hope. [en.wikipedia.org]

Thanks for the link. Note; this is off topic but just have to say: I prefer independent muckraker journalist for current events. RT, Sputnik, the greyzone, and many others that report on the horrors of our government and the rest of the world, are called anti-american to discredit their stories. I find it odd how people that call themselves skeptics, fall for american propaganda so easy. What here has this as a topic?

What is RT and why should it cause a phobia?

I don't have a "phobia" of RT. I am aware that it's official news agency of the Russian Federation. This particular article is syndicated and being used by RT.
