In Spain and in Hispanophone countries Woke is called Progre.

It's a slang word for comedy killer.

Comedy? Oh you mean “eDgY hUmOr” which was never funny to begin with?

[@thechrisandphaedrusshow]

@@isabellamendes9157 I actually appreciate the idealism behind being woke. But the reality is people can't laugh at what they think is funny anymore because they get lumped into a category of either "they're being racist" or "they're bigots". Every group of people on this planet has something to laugh about or even a stereotype to laugh at, so why not laugh and accept the truth that comedy brings people together. The ideals of inclusivity has been creating a rift between people more than it's bringing them together.

@@thechrisandphaedrusshow comedy is funny. It’s just that you find “insult comedy” funny, i expect comedy to be more natural & fun instead of taking jabs at a whole group of people. These days Real Housewives of Beverly Hills seems 1000000x funnier than any stand up comedian (not that they were ever funny to begin with)

Thank you, finally we are combating this misconception created by extreme right.

Extreme right? You mean NORMAL

As someone who is basically a liberal the problem is with terms like woke is they mean basically something different to everyone. I have always viewed people who are “woke” as people who put too much emphasis on demographic attributes besides financial means when analysing social equality. Essentially people who view attributes such as sexual orientation, race and gender as more important in determining ones standards of living. Some clearly think woke is stuff as basic as even acknowledging that trans people exist beyond political speeches. The point is it means different things to everyone on both sides of the debate and there’s basically a broad spectrum in between.

Exactly. WOKE is just a smokescreen for fascism.

" woke " = anything that can not be explained by science

I don't get it, are corporations going woke because they only care about profits, or in spite of it being unprofitable?

[@kelvindoang1228]

@@arthurboucher4341 it is hip to pander to woke community but it will get backlas the question is are the backlash strong enough to punish them.

@@arthurboucher4341 are you aware for a business to be classified of a Corp, S-corp, LLC, etc have to be for profit. Otherwise you're a non for-profit like a 501c3.
