According to Webster's Dictionary, woke means "aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues," especially issues of social injustice.

I copied this meme from Americans for the Separation of Church and State FB page.

"Things that make you say, Hmmmm πŸ˜‰ "

I am posting this on Agnostic dot com because there seems to be a rift between the "woke" and "anti-woke" members of this original site, and some split off to join a more conservative site. I guess they are against the "woke" side of Christianity and more on the side of the greedy or power hungry side of the religious right? I don't know.

I still don't get what is wrong with being attentive to important facts and issues concerning social justice. I guess they think seeking justice and equality only belongs to certain people? I've dropped most of my super conservative friends, so I can't ask them.

Antiwoke is all conservatives got really so they are going to milk it for all it’s worth. Not like they have anything of positive merit to contribute to humankind.

Here is a perfect example of "Woke" going too far:

Companies going too far, or conservatives going too far to misunderstand the point? What a stupid commentary. If a company says something you don't like, don't buy their product. Easy as that. I don't eat candy, so I'm not affected by this imagined war on marketing practices of candy makers.

@Julie808

>>>Companies going too far, or conservatives going too far to misunderstand the point?

It's "International Womens Day". Hersheys picked a biological male to represent women on "International Women's Day". What "Point" are they making that conservatives have misunderstood?

>>>What a stupid commentary. If a company says something you don't like, don't buy their product.

I think that exactly what they are doing. The "point" of the negative commentary is to point out to people that Hershey's has gone off the rails. I never bought much Hershey's chocolate before this crazy commercial, so my "boycotting" Hersheys means nothing. All I can do is point out the silliness of the decisions made by Hersheys.

@BD66 Even with all the boycott talk Hershey's will see an 11% year on year growth in sales for the fourth quarter ending march 31. Well over analyst estimate of 5.6%, so I'd say their "woke" works.

@Julie808 If a corporation says something β€œwoke” you don’t like, have your lapdog legislature take away their special governing district so you, as retribution, can appoint your own cronies.
