It isn't correct though. I prefer to be accurate. Harder to disprove me.
Yet you make the assertion, that woke started in the 1970s.
Then noble savage concept started in the 1600s just like anti-colonialism, those are not ideas that poofed into existence in the 1970s.
Heart of Darkness a fiction about how the Dutch tortured blacks in Africa, is one of the pillars of progressive ideology and was published in 1899.
The reason the anti-White activism has gone into overdrive in the 90s is because mass immigration has started taking effect and the US was no longer a White country with some blacks left over from slavery, but was made multicultural.
In practice woke is simply anti-White.
"Woke" in the original definition.
The original definition goes back to blacks using it to signal that White devils are keeping them down.
Early Origins (1930s–1960s)
- The term "woke" originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as a variation of “awake.”
- One of the earliest recorded uses in this sense comes from a 1938 article in the New York Times about a protest song by Lead Belly, who urged Black people to "stay woke" to racial injustices.
Civil Rights Era (1950s–1970s)
- During the Civil Rights Movement, "stay woke" became a common phrase used by Black activists to encourage awareness of systemic racism, police brutality, and racial injustice.
- It was often used in speeches and discussions about the need to remain vigilant against oppression.
Resurgence and Expansion (2010s)
- The term saw a major revival with the rise of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in the 2010s.
- It expanded beyond racial issues to include LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, economic justice, and climate activism.
- "Woke" became widely used on social media to express awareness of social injustice.
The inclusion of fags in 2010 doesn't change it from being an anti-White, black people concept.
It has always been anti-White nonsense.
Used to be true. Nowadays, calling someone "racist" has no power. Were you asleep all these years?
You would call yourself a racist in public? If you are, then you are cool guy, but we both know that most would not do that.
How? His success stems from delivering consistent product when others didn't. He sells comics, delivers comics on time and can get big names to publish under him because he is a professional.
Even if you try to make the case that most of the guys who bought his stuff are not doing it because of anti-woke tribalism or to have a black shield against the R-word.
You still have to ignore that it is painfully obvious that this is what a lot of influencers including EVS did and do.
EVS not only promoted EJ because he had an audience, but also because he is a weak little faggot that was scared of being called a racist.
EVS calling FNT, Critical Drinker, etc. grifters is correct and he himself used to be part of that group of grifters, but they kicked him out for being a catty diva and now he has to grift in the corner.
A grifter is someone who pretends to stand for something and is making profit of that, while actually not standing for it.
Most of the youtubers who call or called themselves anti-woke fall perfectly into that category.
That's why they added "forced" to their definition of woke.
In fact most of them don't have any proper principles at all. Gay, trans, feminist, black, anti-White, etc. is all okay in a piece of media as long as the product is considered enjoyable. Doesn't sound like someone who opposes woke at all.
A culture warrior who doesn't have clear principles and is making money of it is a grifter.
