Trump says he bombed Iran

[andy06shake]

Because you might.   I've seen a couple of black people on tv pull up the old lingo.   No one else has.  Everyone else uses it in the modern way.


   "Claim to know" .... just stop.   I'm the one who posted that information to begin with.

The evolution of the word erases it's roots.
The roots are now irrelevant.
That's not how the word is used anymore.
The roots are now irrelevant.
That's not how the word is used anymore.

Again, you need to get out more and meet other black people...

And that's revisionist nonsense.

Words evolve, sure, but erasing origins to claim "roots are irrelevant" is intellectually lazy.

Language doesn't erase history.

"woke" still carries its original meaning of awareness, especially in racial justice contexts.

And popular misuse doesn't overwrite decades of cultural significance.

Next.

So, people online here at DI constitute the vast majority. LoL

You need to get out more Mrs...

How did you get to be a moderator when you obviously can't read too well?
That's NOT what I said.
You wanted to know where were all the people that constituted the 'vast majority'.
I said that it's right here on this thread ... in the online dictionary definition that I gave.
The 'vast majority' made that online dictionary definition.
I've told you to read the dictionary definition ... told you t hat multiple times.
Perhaps you should go do it and educate yourself.   
We'll wait ... go ahead ... 

Tell me what the examples I gave are if not the epitome of far-right wokeness?

There is no such thing as far-right wokeness.
Woke is left wing.
Look on any online dictionary definition.
You trying to rewrite it fails.

Talking about stupid sh#t that doesn't make sense.

And back on topic.

How's Operation Epic Fury, aka the war in Iran, going?

Militarily, it is still better than expected to be engaged this long, with so few American deaths and injuries.
thats a normal, logical, historical bellwether.

Politically, the Democratic left is literally shitting their "Fruit of the Looms" in the street with fear and anxiety, when they should be dancing as the midterms should become more winnable.

Unless they keep on shitting themselves

Nope.   It's reality.  The word doesn't mean what it used to anymore.  
Try to keep up ... and get used to it ... the modern meaning is here to stay.

This is fucking stupid.
No wonder most everyone has left this site.
I've got other things to do.
I"m done.

Sounds a bit like sour grapes. 

Sure your not a bit flustered?

Learn some manners, please.

As to the sloppy reasoning.

Citing a dictionary doesn't prove social consensus.

"Woke" historically meant being alert to injustice, especially racial, long before political labeling.

Saying "woke is left-wing, end of story" ignores that language evolves through social context, media, and ""irony"".

Dictionaries describe usage, they don't dictate ideology.

And reducing a complex term to rigid left/right politics is once again intellectually lazy and ignores decades of cultural and linguistic evolution.

If you say so...

Have a nice day...

And bye'bye!

Dont let the door hit you on the derrière...

Hopefully, you're in better spirits tomorrow.

"Modern meaning" isn't permanent, language evolves indeed, and cultural context keeps the original sense of "woke" alive.

Dictionaries reflect, not dictate.

Oh i think the midterms might be rather telling...

The Democrat's ratings are far below Trump and the Republican ratings.

They are circling the toilet because of their America hating antics.

The Boston mayor and Massachusetts governor got booed out of the the stadium the other day before the Red Sox game.

Nobody is buying what they are shoveling anymore.
