    using “woke” as a pejorative

    I am not using woke as a pejorative, but as a descriptor; it’s good to be woke.

    “Woke scolding” is what you are in the process of doing, and it damages the cause. You’re misrepresenting me in ways that don’t make sense given the context and you’re bringing up history of terms that don’t reflect their present meaning to evoke unwarranted feelings of shame. If we were in a more public forum while you were arguing this disingenuously using the language of we who are aware of and opposed to oppression it would risk turing away once potential allies and further radicalizing individuals who have only been shown clips of visually identifiable “leftists” screaming while a chud pretends to be a reasonable centrist instead of a fascist who was just distributing Qanon pamphlets. I urge you to be more conscientious with your rhetoric.

      I’m over here laughing, you’re completely playing out the “man can’t handle being corrected by a woman so he resorts to loading on the multisyllabic jargon in order to pretend his arguments are too complex for her to understand instead of facing his own prejudice.” You’re still supporting antisemitism. And that’s all there is to it. I’m not even Jewish, but bigotry is bigotry.

        I’m autistic, asshole. It’s how I communicate because I have a disability.

        I have no way to know you’re a woman, and you don’t even know if I’m a man. You’re assuming I’m straight you’re lying about my argument, and this shit is un-fucking-acceptable. You’re a bigot appropriating language. Fuck off.
