A WORD WITH ROTHSCHILD

[rothschild]

Woke to me just means someone has some fricken empathy & compassion for others. Kindness matters. Respect for others matters.

The term came into being on social media around the time of gamergate, along with "social justice warrior". People referred to themselves with them, but the problem is that social media platforms are basically echo chambers that are about getting "likes" and "followers", which is antithetical to thoughtful discussion.

Being opposed to DEI doesn't necessarily equate to being opposed to diversity, equity or inclusion. The question I have relates to how these terms are defined and how best to go about achieving them. As far as politics goes you're either for DEI or you're against it, no middle ground, no room for discussion, which is one of the reasons I have for hating American politics.
