I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
When I hear someone mention “woke” with derision, they are typically railing against things that represent people of color. I de facto assume someone is trying to thinly veil their racism.
When I hear someone mention “woke”, I stop listening to them. I am not equipped to respond to the deluge of racist, bigoted, climate-denialist, etc. bullshit that’s about to come out of their mouths.
