I think this somewhat defines woke. Vegans are uncertain of eating figs, for each fruit that is formed, is pollinated by a wasp that dies in the fruit, therefore is not vegan. Meanwhile organic farms all pretty much, use organic pesticides, that kill bugs. I don’t use pesticides, but only grow a select few crops and orchard trees/bushes that do well without such things. I’m also considering myself possibly woke, most times I’m trail running I’m noticing all the gold ore with uranium flakes and silver striations, that billions of individuals never became awake to. It’s right in front of them, but for decades I myself was sleeping to it.
Also other wokeness. Why are organic pesticides, poison, less dangerous then synthetic pesticides/poisons. Organic has a much shorter pre harvest interval, so you can spray just before consuming unlike synthetic. That sounds somewhat dangerous, can they detect mental changes due to ingesting organic pesticides? Rotenone was an organic pesticide that was discontinued due to mental decline, like autism or something. Permaculture many times includes the use of heavy mulches, this quickly poisons a field with excessive phosphorus levels, detrimental to plant growth. Even manure use for long periods, causing phosphorous to build to high, without a cheap enough supply of organic fertilizer that does not increase P levels. Making in some ways organic farming being less sustainable long term.
Exactly. OP, please provide us with a specific definition of “woke” and “wokeism”.
If you're not in on the joke and don't know what woke is, you're probably woke. Sorry about your loss.
The world is moving to Wokism whether you like it or not, but a lot of people born a long time ago have not died off just yet, so they are very bitter about it
because ultrarunning needs a lot of time but no actual ability. so obviously the "runners" cant work a real job and would love basic income. thats why they support all communist policies. of course they dont realize that a communist dictator would send them on the fields instead of running
You mean under a communist regime all the ultra runners would be forced to do the high jump? I like it
Probably because its just another thing for untalented but competitive people to compete on. It makes them feel superior to people who don't bore others senseless about their vegan diets or care for critical racial theory, or whatever is current.
Its so prevalent in running circles even outside ultra running where I am that I purposively try not to engage in polite conversation with runners at races or in training, in case I'm quickly drawn into a discussion on how dreadlocks might have been worn by vikings but those vikings were black vikings anyway, or similar.

He let slip his definition of wokeism when he said:
"I miss ultrarunning up to 2015/2016 before it got "popular""
In other words, the "good ol' days". Anything that changes the good ol' days are "woke".
For example, good ol' days meant women stayed at home, were good housewives who could cook and would never speak back to their husbands. Anything that goes against that is called "woke". My uncle is a prime example of this. He rants against wokeism all the time while drinking his Bud Light in his rocking chair, rocking his 70-year old body that looks like it's 80.

yes. most will be horrible at it and send to the gulags
Hi im Shadow Winnetou, pronouns Xe/Xummely/Zo. I took to pro trail running for the nature (and my blazing 24 minute 5k PR). My hobbies are my hermaphrodite gerbil collection and astrology.

It's really not. Maybe you think it is because you live in a ultra liberal city or you only get your information from woke echo chambers, but most people are still normal and not on board with wokeism. Most people are not on board with transing children and taking them to drag shows or having men compete in female sports, most don't believe that straight white men are conspiring to oppress all women, POC and gay people. So many businesses have lost money trying to appeal to wokesters or avoid a bunch of woke idiots talk bad about them on Twitter. Wokeism is the current fad for people with weak identities who feel the need to go with the crowd, just like extreme Christianity was not too long ago, but people are coming to their senses.
What is the problem you guys are arguing about? Any serious athletic endeavor requires a measure of focus and single-mindedness that can be considered "obsessive". Ultra-running, like any other sporting event has its share of rituals, gear and an ethos around which an ecosystem develops. If you are upset about charlatans infiltrating the sport, it is the same in every sport, the dopers, cheats, posers...the only thing that matters is what the sport means to you. Why pollute the conversation with something as banal as politics?
