You have a fundamental problem with objective truth.

"Sans wokeness" = anti-Black, anti-US history.

You are erasing the laws, public policies and social customs enacted and enforced for hundreds of years, whitewashing the story of the US by mixing it up with "post-modernism." All you are doing is showing your disdain of Black people.

You are spitting in the faces of living Black people like me who when we were born our bodies were literally "evidence of a felony" because of anti-miscegenation laws. I don't give a rat's behind about post-modernism.

But to this day I still have to "look alive" = "be awake" to drive through the town in which I grew up.

Every time you say you are "sans woke" you are saying that you do not care how I am harmed. I have to stay awake to stay alive. You do too as a transwoman.

Somehow you believe you can "compromise" with people who view you as vermin. I don't believe you are vermin. But I also don't believe you have any idea how much harm your hatred of "woke" causes the Black community. You want to be "one of the good ones" for a bunch of people who view you as less than human.

You believe that people watching out for themselves and arriving alive instead of being lynched is going destroy our future? You've been brainwashed by the very forces you say you oppose.

Please wake up. Please stop telling lies. "Woke" = "n!gg$r." You could write about opposing MAGA without having to harm the Black community. Why you need to destroy the Black community is beyond me.

But I live in the real world. Your definition of "woke" is the right wing definition. You continually presume to speak for the Black community, supplanting our lived experiences in the US with post-modern thought from Europe.

You cannot be "anti-woke" and "pro-social justice." Because "woke = social justice." You are saying you believe in social justice but hate it and want to get rid of it.

What nonsense.

Just admit you got played about the definition of "woke." Even if you were too blind to see that the "anti-woke world" was never supportive of social justice in any way, shape or form those of us who were actually awake could see it coming a mile away.

The "anti-woke" world wants to erase both of us. You've been carrying their water for years and just found out three weeks ago that they didn't agree with you?

Walks away shaking my head.
