The term "wokism" isn't that clear though. I see how it can be used by people attached to their social privileges in relation to their class, gender, education, origins...but naming and shaming can also be used in a petty and childish way to stigmatise strangers or present problems in a Manichean kind of way.

@EarthlingWise The term "Woke" only exists because Americans do not have the attention span to get to the end of the phrase "Cultural and Social Empathy" without losing interest.😷
@whowasthatmaskedman The term itsellf is actually nice, if indeed it is applied in an earnest way.

@EarthlingWise Dont get me wrong. I believe in the idea of an awakening to social and cultural advancement. Its just its dumbing down to a four letter word and misappropriation as a negative I dont like..😷
