‘Hey Camp what’s woke? How has wokeness taken over the political and social discourse?’

‘The way I understand it is that minorities demand recognition and impose rules and behavior norms while disrespecting the majority. It used to be majorities making the rules while respecting the minorities. Wokeness has imposed and forced verbal and grammatical changes to words and concepts on us as well as redefined gender and pronouns while insisting on equal treatment. In fact, some minorities who feel disadvantaged and discriminated against now demand privileges and recognition beyond and above what ordinary people can expect.’

‘Isn’t woke awareness supposed to be socially and racially sensitive?’ 

‘I guess as wokeness pervades our western societies we can expect more limits and restrictions on word choices as in extremes like birthing person instead of mother. I guess it started with gender neutral descriptions like fishers instead of fishermen.’
