    Victim culture. Everybody now is like "aw poor me, look its the evil rich". They arent thankful for what they have. They think theyre oppressed but they dont realize how privileged we are in Ameroca to be here. We take a lot for granted like air conditioning, cars, healthcare, sewers.

    Over 80% of the world is thirdworld... but "we r so oppressed"

      Yeah, I think experiencing actual oppression (eg, young Pakistani men literally being held captive and enslaved in Dubai) would completely rock a "woke" American's world.

      When you have to look so hard for oppression that you start making up words and imagining that you know what other people are thinking, that probably means that everything is ok and you should just get on with your life.

        To me, "Woke" is a word used for a person living a sheltered life who walks around with their head up their ass with no concept of real hardship or oppression.
        Some people just feel this need to walk around saying "Look at me, I'm fighting against an imaginary wrong with no actual danger to me in doing so. I'm so brave."

        Some days I wanna just bang my head on the table out of frustration of how stupid people have gotten.

          To me "woke" means awakened. My wife's mother, brother, and she herself took their own lives. There are some deep problems and we need to speak about them.

            Sorry about your wife & in-laws. The term you're looking for is social awareness. Woke is used by people less concerned about the actual issues and more concerned with self-image, and being a part of the hip, cool crowd.

      Thats great and all but none of this helps those homeless in the street. Which is a massive issue America likes to ignore.

        Most Americans believe being homeless is a choice or some shit.

          The only way to fix it is to help them get a job. They have to do it themselves to an extent. If you always give a handout you will just create more homeless. Whats your solution?

            I don't disagree with you and I'm not saying handouts are the solution, but a lot of homeless people have different situations and just saying get a job won't fix the problem.

            I say this because I was homeless for awhile I'm still trying to fix things my problem was related to mental health and a bad upbringing, as it stands now I'm building myself up but that's just me when I was on the streets I've dealt with people who had different reasons as to why they were there. Most had issues that a job wouldn't fix and you had few that were looking for a handout I've even meet people who claimed to have been rich sometimes I doubt if they were honest but you never know.

            Homelessness is complicated.

        They have to help themselves.

      Tbh, I’m Canadian and when I feel bad about my life I think “we’ll, at least I wasn’t born in America.” Because it’s such a shithole
