If a "woke" person ever engages me ...

I would list out conservative ideas ....

1. LOWER TAXES - because it puts money in the pockets of POC (people of color) and takes it away from white-controlled, systemic racist entities.

2. DEFUND GOVERNMENT - BLM (Black Lives Matter) wants to defund government, so do I.

3. MORE FREEDOMS - more freedoms give choice and flexibility to POC, like school choice, or union right-to-work choice.

4. SOCIAL PROGRAMS - as Reagan once said, "a job is the best social program". Lift POC out of welfare with a new kind of social program called a "JOB".

5. RACISM / LGBTQI+ - capitalists understand that degrading a customer base is bad for business, so hurray CAPITALISM! It steers us away from the evil of hatred.

If you ever hear a white person listening to white musicians culturally appropriating black music follow then home screaming at them all the way.

Or just join the twitter mob calling out Adele.
What you did not know the the privileged Adele culturally appropriated Jamaican fashion. Your masters program in wokeness has been canceled, retake Woke 101.

In order to get a doctorate in wokeness you must demonstrate an ability create a new weoponized expression or word while making the old expression or term offensive. Example “People of Color”, “Colored People”. Consideration will be given if you can demonstrate an ability to instantly get the culture to use a weaponized expression practically nobody used a month ago. Example “Anti racism”.

woke (n): (1) The state of being pretentious about how concerned one is over a social issue; (2) A state of superficial social superiority one gains by pretending to care about social issues; (3) The act of deluding one's self into believing that oppression ennobles the spirit of the oppressed; (4) The act of treating social activism like the latest fashion trend; (5) The act of cultural appropriation; (6) Definitions 1 through 5 in any combination or order of preference.

Being woke is like being vegan, a Scientologist, or a newly converted non-smoker in that the "woke" person simply MUST expound on his or her virtue-signalling opinions on every topic of social (in)justice whether anyone else want to hear them or not.  Declaring that one is woke is virtue signalling with the goal of making "unwoke" people feel like crap for being "unwoke".

I'm not sure that's an injunction from a dictionary,but I must say I agree whole heartedly,I don't know where you photo shopped the erroneous dictionary injunction but I love it.

The WOKE are the walking DEAD-If VT and Fnord agree on something it must really be true.

It was not "Photoshopped" -- Photoshop is for graphic images, not plain text.  The eratz definition is one of my own creation, even though it is similar to definitions at several other sources (some of which I put there myself).
