• Just wondering about the virulent antipathy to "wokeness"

    In review, our two quarterwits have been unable to either
    define "wokeness" or explain their terror of it. So I'll rely on
    the most general, humanistic, well-informed working definition.
    Wokeness means being aware of, and consciously eschewing,
    words and actions that are bigoted in nature or intent. This
    simple definition does not entail legal sanctions of previously
    unknown behaviors. Nor does it conflict with the provisions of
    the First Amendment.

    Wokeness is a category of politeness or consideration. It's similar
    to holding open a door for a person pushing a baby stroller or
    carrying packages. If an individual chooses not to behave in
    accordance with the principle of consideration, they are not
    subject to legal penalties. As a whole, wokeness is a set of
    behaviors that enable people of different origins and abilities
    to interact more smoothly in an open society.

    On that basis, I can't be sure why Shmoo 1 and Shmoo 2 harbor
    such intense antipathy toward wokeness. My best guess is that
    they, like most of the MAGA fascists, place the highest priority
    on seeing themselves as victims of persecution. If this guess
    is accurate, it points to an incredibly broad and intense case
    of projection, since the MAGA-turds are the least tolerant of
    all segments of society.
