Like I said, you need an argument, not just your feelings about words.

It's not a feeling. The right uses "woke" as a catch all for anything they don't like, just like they did with pc in the 90s.
Use accurate terminology? Too woke.
Call people what they want to be called? Too woke.
Stop letting police get away with ignoring our rights? Woke.
...and so on.

Who cares? That doesn't impact whether the rest of their argument is right or wrong. It's totally irrelevant to what's actually being discussed here.

It only doesn't impact the argument if you're arguing in a vacuum and don't consider how your argument might work when actually trying to convince someone of your point of view rather than gaining fake internet points.

Didn't you yourself say that the argument was correct, but you're rejecting it anyway due to word choice?

I'm not rejecting it, I agree with it, I said that. I just don't like the concession that wokeness is annoying.

So then you do agree it doesn't affect the argument. Great!

...no, because I already agreed with the argument.
What's the internet equivalent of talking slower? Bolding things? Would that help you?
