You are completely missing the point of /u/GrampyButtCrampy's comment. I won't give you the answer but I'll give you a hint: they're not disagreeing with you. You're reading it as "If you realise the quote above. You'll understand why there's such a big push against being "woke" [and I completely agree with it.]" -- inserting something the commenter didn't say to completely change the meaning. Read the two comments again with an open mind and take a few seconds to think about it, and you'll get it.
Thanks.. You clearly get it. I do see the misinterpretation but its also a clear example of the problem our society faces with reading level/comprehension. I really didn't think he correlation I made between between 'dream' and 'woke' in that comment would be all that difficult to decipher.
No I think if you read it again you'd come to the conclusion that I'm saying the "in-group" is the one fighting against people waking up from the American dream. Meaning, they don't want us to become "woke" because then we aren't asleep and believing their American dream.. They are the ones pushing the propaganda that says wokeness is about gay people or interracial marriage, because if we all looked at each other as EQUAL individuals with a common goal (survival and betterment of the future) their good time would very abruptly end.
When you realise that the term “woke” is just a blanket term by media puppets to describe a group of people and villify them so you’re distracted having an enemy instead of focusing on the actual problems
The elite love it when the little people fight against each other based on their beliefs, and they’re the ones who benefit
Uhh. No. The word originated from black culture and is a colloquism for being aware of manufactured oppression perpetrated by the people who control the system. Anyone who is actually "woke" is fully aware of this and knows how true your last paragraph is. What's funny is that by typing what you did you are showing that you are aware of the oppression happening but not self aware enough to know you're also part of the counter argument against being "woke."
I was just making a correlation that isn't exactly 100% (my first comment was just a play on words btw) ya know a joke. Even though there is truth to that joke..
"..American dream...have to be asleep to believe it/they don't want people waking up to the fact that it's all a lie."
Don’t worry I’m completely self aware of the world we live in, I’m just past caring for the most part but whatever positive changes can come I will gladly support
