Hvað er Woke og er þetta ekki birtingarmynd misskilnings milli fólks?
Að fólkið sem fór að hatast út í woke vissi ekki hvað það var að gagnrýna og því fór orðið að þýða eitthvað allt annað í einhverjum bergmálshellum.

Re: Hvernig hnignar lýðræðislegu samfélagi?
Af því að nú er verið að gera einhverjum hópi til geðs að efast um og ræða hvað woke er.
Hvað segir gervigreindin?
Yes, there are a few terms—some formal, others more colloquial or politically charged—that are often used to describe people who resist social change and cling to tradition with a “that’s how it’s always been” mindset. Here are some options:
1. Traditionalist
A more neutral term that refers to someone who values tradition and resists change. Not inherently negative, but context can imply rigidity.
2. Reactionary
This term has a political edge. It refers to someone who opposes progressive change and seeks to return to a previous societal state. It's kind of the ideological opposite of "progressive."
3. Regressive
Used pejoratively to describe someone whose views are seen as moving society backward instead of forward.
4. Conservative
Broadly used in political and cultural contexts. Not always pejorative, but can imply resistance to social evolution depending on how it's framed.
5. Status quo defender
Describes someone who defends existing systems or norms, often without questioning their origins or consequences.
6. Anti-woke
This is a more recent, politicized term often used (sometimes proudly, sometimes insultingly) to describe people who oppose "woke" culture or ideas—often by dismissing progressive causes as unnecessary or extreme.
Would you like a creative or coined term that captures that mindset more pointedly or with a satirical edge?
The essence of wokeness is awareness—specifically, awareness of social injustices, power imbalances, and systemic inequalities, especially around issues like race, gender, sexuality, and identity. It originally implied a sense of being "awake" to the realities that marginalized groups face, and being willing to question the status quo.
At its core, wokeness involves:
1. Empathy for marginalized experiences – Trying to understand and uplift the voices of people who face discrimination or oppression.
2. Critical thinking about systems – Recognizing that laws, institutions, and cultures can carry biases or reinforce inequality.
3. Support for progressive change – Advocating for fairness, inclusion, and equity, even if it means challenging long-standing norms.
It started as a term in Black communities in the U.S., particularly in relation to racial justice, but it’s since expanded—and also become politicized and often misunderstood or used mockingly.
If you're looking for a distilled version:
> Wokeness is the belief that social awareness and systemic change are necessary for a fairer society.
Want to dig into how it evolved or how it's used today in different circles?
There isn’t a single universally accepted word that is the exact opposite of “woke,” but oblivious comes very close in spirit—especially if you're focusing on the awareness aspect.
Here are a few one-word options, depending on the nuance you're after:
Oblivious – unaware or indifferent to social injustice (emphasizes lack of awareness).
Apathetic – not caring about social issues (emphasizes lack of concern).
Ignorant – uninformed or willfully uninformed (can sound harsher or more judgmental).
Reactionary – actively opposing progressive change (emphasizes resistance to progress).
Complacent – passively accepting the status quo (implies comfort with injustice).
If you're looking for a mirror opposite to the original meaning of "woke" as socially conscious, then oblivious might be your best fit. If you're going for a more ideological or politicized opposite, reactionary or anti-woke would be more apt.
Want me to help coin a new word that nails it exactly?
Alright, let's nail this. If woke is "socially aware, empathetic, and questioning of unjust systems," then its true opposite would be someone who is:
Unaware or willfully blind
Dismissive of others' struggles
Defensive of the status quo
Hostile or indifferent to social change
Here's a custom-coined word that captures all that:
---
"Drowsic"
(from drowsy + the suffix -ic, evoking a passive, half-asleep state)
Definition:
Adjective. Describing a person or mindset that is indifferent to social inequality, resistant to progressive change, and unconsciously upholding outdated norms.
Example usage:
"His drowsic take on gender roles completely ignores how much things have evolved."
"You can't expect drowsic minds to support the movement—they still think it's the 1950s."
