In the context of my statement, ‘woke’ refers to an ideology that focuses on social injustice and advocates for change. However, the ‘woke movement’ as I see it, often includes individuals who blame societal problems on others and demand changes without taking personal responsibility themselves. While Martin Luther King Jr. tirelessly worked to achieve equal rights, many ‘woke’ individuals today seem more interested in controlling what others do or say while posting worthless hastags instead of actually doing anything.
I’m a bit more confused, because when you me tion it referring to an ideology that focuses on social injustice and advocates for change, and reference MLK’s efforts, it seems like you support the general idea. And I would agree!
I guess I’m just confused on the “personal responsibility” portion. It’s my understanding that most of the “woke” issues are gay and trans rights and police reform (and combating systemic racism in policing). So other than demanding change, protesting, and voting, I’m not sure where the “personal responsibility” would come in.
