The way these people complain about the ""woke agenda"" reminds me of antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews secretly being in control at every level of society. The banks are woke, the government is woke, industry is woke, charities are woke, NGOs are woke, the church is woke, etc etc.
It's absolute dogshit.
I heard that woke figures in key positions meet at their secret woke clubhouse where they discuss their woke evil plans on controlling the world and making everyone woke.
Honestly I want to start the secret society of woke, not because I expect it to get a single influential member, but because just existing will make every right wing nutter blame every single thing on the secret woke society ๐
It should be called "The Secret Woke Society". Tagline "sh don't tell anyone, it's a secret".
The office address should be opposite Tory party headquarters, and there should be a big satellite dish on the roof, for talking to our international woke operatives.
Really go to town on it. Go way over the top. Let's see how mad we can get them.

This meme is woke and I don't like it ๐ข
Not seen this before. Nice neologism!
I'm lefty as fuck but I don't think it's appropriate to use the guardian to describe a "right wing takeover". Guardian can be as biased as the daily mail on most days
Fair enough, "appropriate" was incorrectly used
So you will contort your ideas to be neutral even if truth is biased?
No one is truly unbiased, even if they think they are
What would your preferred terminology be?
This isn't a Guardian article, unless I'm missing something?
