Conservatives clearly don’t even understand words. They have wholeheartedly embraced fascism and this document claims they rejected it.

its not that they don't understand words, it's that words aren't communication for them. it's just checksums. confirming group membership and synchronization. affirming their (percieved) position.

Which is wild because these are the same people who treat words like we found them in a fucking meteor crater and have to uphold the ancient definitions of gender, sex and relationships between people AT ALL COSTS.

And that's the other part. In defining us as woke, they define themselves as sleepwalking

Words can have multiple meanings. Definitions really only exist because of a mutual understanding of the word, and memeology is just as important as etymology nowadays, when new words and new contexts can get introduced to huge audiences instantly.

Insisting words have one definition and that the elite get to decide it is the very meaning of wokeism.

In other words...war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.
