    He really literally is Woke, though. In the way reactionaries mean it, too.

    He’s a working class socialist refugee journalist who fights corrupt billionaires, sociopath AIs, and genocidal tyrants. He’s educated, open minded, egalitarian, and forgiving. He’s a (French style) libertarian internationalist, a diplomat, and proletarian hero. The model progressive liberal.

      Literally has the power to crush or make slaves of any human he feels like, instead does the very opposite and tries to save weak and puny humans from those who would do it.

      That’s literally the opposite of the kind of personality that’s attracted to things like Fascism.

      Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy. And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him.

      No such thing as woke buddy, even liberals don’t use that word. He’s simply benevolent

        I thought woke came from black culture as a way to describe knowing about the history of oppression that is left out of mainstream education.

        You know, things like the Tulsa massacre, the MOVE bombing, the Tuskegee medical experiments, and so on.

        As in, “don’t sleep through life believing the fantasy painted by your oppressors… wake up! get woke!”
