Let me explain. The reason the sarcastic slang term “woke” exists is all due to the ongoing battle over language. It exists because it’s more effective

Think of the alternative. Is it smarter to attack the word “progressivism”? “Progress”? That thing that motivates us as humans to achieve. The only thing that keeps most people playing MMORPG’s like P99?

No, it’s not smart to attack “progress”. So the right has created a slang word, attached a negative connotation to it, and intelligently chose to attack that instead. Some still will attack “progressivism”, but it’s a fewer than prefer to replace the word with woke

It’s all about language manipulation. Sort of like the left’s use of “moral panic” and other things meant to deride and mock things the right gets passionate about. Because attacking the thing itself like “parent’s knowledge of what their kid is being taught in school” doesn’t look as good as attacking the newest “moral panic” over transgender theory

Twisting language has a purpose and can be effective, although thanks to people like me spelling the tactics out, hopefully more people can recognize it and see through it
You could attack progressive by noting that it's an international, but that would rely on people knowing what an international is.

Your clue for "international" in this context is: Leon Trotsky

Recruitment is irrelevant. Time for mandatory military service and a ban on obesity and diabetes enforced via drone strike
