Thise jibes were amusing but there’s so much more as MOT implied.
Woke is now pretty much a coverall. In real lufe it has crested layers of bureaucracy and costs and, have the benefits been measurable? Renaming some buildings, banning some books, but Rochdale has nit been properly resolved and while we laugh at some of the flimsy implementation behind that, has it improved things for the poor abd the abused or is it still just a sop for the offended by everything world?
It doesn’t reduce your humanity in any way, except in the view of the person using it to describe themselves. You can safely regard anything else that person says or believes as being of no importance.

Its just a sad fact that as with ‘political correctness’ these terms have been hijacked by the right wing media so they can complain about not being not being able to be openly bigoted.
Woke is not there to stop clever comedy, but its really quite simple; Being woke is just about NOT being a cunt, and a bit nicer to everyone… including those whose lifestyle choices we often dont understand… yep some twats take it to extremes being offended by everything… or making it about which toilet to use, but ultimately, its just about being less of a cunt.
