Looks like that mysterious meeting where Hegseth called in a bunch of generals was to tell them to stop being so woke.
Also Hegseth apparently wants to relax restrictions on hazing and harassment. Hey I’ve got an idea. The military continues to fail its recruitment quotas, let’s raise the physical requirements and foster a more toxic work environment. Hopefully this will result in a more dysfunctional US military and fewer war crimes in the name of imperialism
Death to America
“Woke” doesn’t mean “manners”, and it’s really depressing that an AAVE term that used to mean something to us has been bastardized to this extent. The original context was that “woke” meant being “aware” of your place in society as a Black person. It meant that you understood that this place was not meant for you, that you are a colonized person living in a settler colony. It was the opposite of “sleep”, which commonly means unaware or not conscious, another word that was interchangeable with woke.
It was white liberals who took the term that was popular amongst us and made it into a joke by claiming to be woke while engaging in performative anti-racism. The chuds caught onto this, and eventually it became a pejorative for things that chuds don’t like, and apparently “civility” now.
