Radical problems require radical solutions.
A new term is popping up! I’d never be Woke. It’s too nice and naive. The world is brutal and many people are selfish and ignorant. Dark Woke, however, completely fits my personality and values. It shows backbone, and boundaries.
And the Dark Golden Rule – give the opposition the same empathy, kindness, understanding, and goodwill they afford you.
When your drug addict family member keeps stealing shit every time he’s over at your house, do you just stand down and go “Well, he needs comfort and sympathy? He IS fambly”
So, time to take the kid gloves off! We didn’t choose this route, in fact we tried tooth and nail to prevent all of this. But logic and reason only gets you so far in a world of emotional degenerates.
We won’t take this sitting down.. It just may save our country.
What is Dark Woke & should the left embrace it? An explainer
A new trend has been sweeping across social media as anti-conservatives try to figure out how to deal with the proliferation of MAGA and every awful thing they stand for. While traditional Democrats may still be pushing the idea of reaching across the aisle and finding a way to bring a fractured country together, this online faction is taking the gloves off and going “Dark Woke.”
There aren’t strict boundaries in place for what qualifies as Dark Woke, which has likely played into uncertainty about what it stands for, and if it’s something to be embraced.
According to The Guardian, the idea began trending following an interaction between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the woman behind the alt-right social media account @LibsofTikTok, Chaya Raichik. Raichik suggested Trump should sue Ocasio-Cortez for saying she didn’t want to “celebrate rapists” by attending events surrounding the inauguration.
“Oh, are you triggered? Cry more,” Ocasio-Cortez replied, throwing a once-popular phrase among the right back at them.
This type of response has become more common online in recent years, as conservative influencers have had public meltdowns about Pride displays, trans people drinking beer, and anything else that offends their delicate sensibilities.
In a lot of ways, this feels like the core of what’s behind Dark Woke — treating MAGA the exact same way they’ve been treating everyone else. And if that means kicking civility to the curb, then so be it. Sorry, Michelle Obama, they went low and we’re meeting them right there in the dirt.
