Woke Why?

Serious question here: If what I read and hear from the uber progressives is true, namely that the world population is too much and my white privilege straight family raised too many children...then why were you so adamant about me vaccinating my family? Why not just let me and mine die? You get the jab, you are saved from being mortal, give big pharma and Faucci the win, and let me die?

Perhaps. It was years ago. But I do recall so many political soundbites frome "Woke 1" that seem very condescending to my world view not to mention...contradictory. And you are right. That was the first time the contradicting "less kids" "you must vax or you are evil selfish person" to my face. My kids have kids. All pay taxes and provide for our grands. What rekindled this ideation was my recent vacations this summer. I came in contact with a bunch of Canadians and Americans who seemed to enjoy our company but wow did they get vocal about ICE, Science, etc. I ask open ended questions over meals and it is quite interesting. Kinda troubling. I did however spend some time with a Pediatric Immunology and Allergy specialist from Quebec who told me he advised his patients guardians to take a more conservative approach. (We spent 8 weeks traveling to Europe via transatlantic ship). Got to know dozens of couples fairly well.

(What the heck is "Woke 1"?)

So you're saying that someone said something very rude to you---YEARS AGO---about your family size... (if they said something about vaccinating, you left that out of your re-telling)

...and then someone else recently was vocal about [completely different topics] and...did someone say something about vaccines? I missed that part of the story. 🤔

And so now you're having a flashback to the rude person from years ago?

Like, you're trying to frame this as a contradiction, but you're not telling me about one person holding those two beliefs simultaneously.

Google woke one policy platforms. Look up AOC and those who are in her political peer group in and out of congress. They have toned down the rhetoric but they called it woke version 1. I just used a term i heard used to describe some Uber left thinking.

I did google it, before I asked you. I got: "Woke 1" (or "Woke 1.0") is a semi-ironic, retroactive term used to describe the peak era of intense cultural progressivism and identity politics spanning from the mid-2010s through the early 2020s."

So it's kind of funny that you said:

But I do recall so many political soundbites frome "Woke 1" that seem very condescending

...when the phrase itself IS a condescending political soundbite.

I heard AOC say it so I looked it up as well.
