GMS is a highly awaken person.
I am known to be a Democratic Socialist. Democracy comes before Socialism. Traditionally, people regard us as "Leftist" or "Center-Left" politically.
In recent years, more people come up to me and ask me whether I am a "Woke". They thought all leftists are Woke. They are mistaken.
Interestingly, somehow, people start to identify Wokeism with Marxism.
Wokeism is loosely defined as an attitude which is extremely sensitive to "discrimination, social and political unfairness" with a strong sense of self righteousness in their beliefs so much so that they would in turn end up in activating a Cancel Culture.
On the extreme of Wokeism is ironically, authoritarian or dictatorship. They would dictate to everyone what is right and what is wrong. It's ironic that Wokes didn't voice out against the unscientific and high handed discrimination of Unvax due to Vaccine Mandates. Their self righteousness in getting what they want overwhelmed their pseudoe narratives of "Respect, Inclusiveness, Social Injustice and Inequalities".
Nope. I am a highly awaken person but definitely not a Woke. Wokeism is easily manipulated by people with different agendas who may not really believe in the Core Values of progressive humanity.
