    If by “woke” you mean scientific intelligence, reason, truth, honour and compassion, then I’m all for it.

      Doesn’t woke just mean being aware of issues in your society?

      I don’t really see what scientific intelligence has to do with that tbh.

        not specifically scientific intelligence, but more so trusting the scientific process that has been developed over centuries, and not refuting all scientific claims that conflict with specific political motives (i.e: believing that climate change is real and heavily influenced by humans and that we should stop polluting == woke. not believing in climate change because Big Oil lobbies ethically compromised politicians that then tell their constituents that climate change is a hoax; being one of those easily manipulated people == anti woke)

      It’s more of an ensemble of virtue-signals denoting membership in a certain tribe. Same people tho.
