Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it’s not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

      Nowadays I prefer the term “correct”.

      I honestly don’t see people using “woke” positively these days.

        That’s because most of us just call it what it is: empathy.

        But they’re trying to make that a pejorative too now.

          well… sure yeah. My point still stands about “woke” though.
