    Imagine that you’re awake, with your eyes open, aware of the issues in the world, and wanting to be part of making it better, and…

    …there’s a massive number of people who think you’re a shithead for believing that, and should probably be murdered for it. Just do what they tell you.

      Woke has become one of my favourite words. It’s like when i was a kid, and everything was gay. Now it’s woke. He’s playing street fighters one woke controls. And same with the word gay, and how it was used, it was always funny when someone used it as an actual insult and you’re just like: oh yeah, i actually don’t care. Guess i’m woke then.

        When I first started my current job a couple of years ago, there was a discussion going on in the office complaining about ‘woke’, albeit fairly mildly, which I wasn’t really participating in. My boss, who’s ex-army asked ‘Are you woke Almacca?’, to which I replied ‘I’m woke as fuck.’ She hasn’t brought it up again since. :)
