Woke or Awake? There is a Difference

In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion about the difference between being “awake” and being “woke.” While both terms are often used interchangeably, there is actually a big distinction between the two. So, what exactly is the difference?

Awake vs. Woke: The Difference
The term “awake” generally refers to people who are aware of the lies, manipulation, and deceit that abound in our society. These people are not fooled by the facade of “truth” that is presented to us by the media and politicians. They strive to be true and pure. They see through the bullshit, and they understand that things are not always as they seem. In short, they are aware of the games that are being played.

The term “woke,” on the other hand, refers to people who have taken the bait hook, line, and sinker. They believe everything they see on CNN and in mainstream media. They don’t question anything because they blindly trust that these institutions are always truthful and transparent. They allow the narrative to control them emotionally. They repeat the lines and stories they are told. As a result, they often end up being manipulated and taken advantage of. The title of “woke” is a badge of stupidity.

So, which group do you fall into? Are you awake or woke? Hopefully, you’re somewhere in between the two extremes. Find inner peace but do not be fooled. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who are either asleep at the wheel or so woke that they can’t see straight. And these days, it seems like the number of people in both groups is only getting bigger.

It’s time for Americans to start thinking for themselves again and stop blindly following along with whatever the current trend happens to be. Don’t be a woke everyday brainlet. Claiming your own opinion isn’t easy—it requires research, introspection, and above all else, an open mind—but it’s worth it if it means seeing the world more clearly.
