"woke" and "pc" are both flawed terms because they have negative connotations and are invoked to describe things that people object to and not used to describe analytically similar things that people do like. A lot of confusion and stolen rhetorical bases result. — PolitiTweet.org

& no one uses those words to describe me even though, for much longer than they've been popular, I've championed radical criminal justice reform, civil liberties protections for Muslims, a drone strike moratorium--yet people would get confused if I was shorthanded as "woke." Why? — PolitiTweet.org

We should be mindful of these flaws, but let's not pretend people who objected to PC in the 90s or wokeness now are describing and objecting to mere decency. That obviously doesn't capture what's in dispute. — PolitiTweet.org
