@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 What do you mean "if" it is a real concern? Many people are obviously really concerned about their variations definitions of it. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 But another person might criticize a different company for being "woke" and mean that its CEO issued a nonsense statement she did not mean to placate an online mob (for example). — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 The specific thing I was thinking about when I Tweeted that is this essay in which the author criticizes wokeness at Nike https://t.co/Mz9c1BlEH3 The author did not mean by it that he is opposed to equality nor was he criticizing Nike for trying to bring about equality. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 I very much think you should be concerned about large swaths of the left and the right. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 I was not defining woke. I was telling you what concerns me and what I would prefer to talk about instead of obsessing over wokeness or antiwokeness, as so many people seem to be doing lately. — PolitiTweet.org

@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 Authoritarianism, or illiberalism, or censoriousness, or cruelty, or denials of due process, or propagandizing, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 I have expressed concern over many things in language far more precise than *wokeness.* If you want to discuss something with me, let's do authoritarianism, or illiberalism, or censoriousness, or cruelty, or denials of due process, or propagandizing, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 Wtf? I did not say it defies definition, I said there are multiple definitions — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 Save for meta-discussions like this I would much prefer to use more precise terms than *wokeness* when discussing anything — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 You know how sometimes a dictionary, or Urban Dictionary, will list multiple definitions below a word because different people use it in different ways? Wokeness is like that. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @HindChristopher @pbump @JamesSurowiecki It means different things to different people. Some mean what you quite tweeted. Some mean political correctness. Some mean leftist puritanical zealotry. Some mean a vocal concern for social justice. Some mean they are awake to what they think others are blind to. I could go on. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 I am not citing them "as an authority". I am raising them as an example. How *I* define anti-wokeness doesn't matter. The point here is that many people use it in multiple ways that depart from Wilkinson's definition. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @HindChristopher @pbump @JamesSurowiecki You're the one who used the phrase and made a claim that I believe what they believe on racism. It is your ongoing failure to define your terms that is making this conversation needlessly difficult. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@yankeegirlnj65 @ChristophSouza That "like" seems to mean "as if" and she seems to be saying that is *not* inherent to being gay, right? — PolitiTweet.org

@clayranck @willwilkinson @mrsavagewolf01 I am not putting together a resume, I am discussing how a word is used. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@clayranck @HindChristopher @pbump @JamesSurowiecki I don't know if a "conventional conservative" is my grandpa or Rich Lowry or Rush Limbaugh or Tucker Carlson or Mitt Romney or Nicki Haley or Chris Rufo or the median working class Republican in Texas. All very different! — PolitiTweet.org

CARROTS ARE VEGETABLES CARROTS ARE VEGETABLES CARROTS ARE VEGETABLES See? Even uncontroversial statements made in this style make you seem off-putting. — PolitiTweet.org

Does the ACLU think *hectoring tone* is effective for fundraising or persuasive or what? My instinct is that it's off-putting to most people and I really don't get their theory of the case. — PolitiTweet.org

@HindChristopher @pbump @JamesSurowiecki I don't think that's so but I have no idea what you think the conventional conservative opinion is. — PolitiTweet.org

A related phenomenon: the exploitation of a moral consensus against x to stigmatize things that fall far outside that consensus by redefining the definition of x. — PolitiTweet.org

Just as I started playing chess online for the first time I saw multiple people I read or listen to offhandedly mention playing chess for the first time. Is there a recent uptick in chess playing or is this coincidence? — PolitiTweet.org
