Dear woke people, Wake up!

<span class="html-content"><p>Dear woke people,</p> <p>Wake up!</p> <p>This post represents my thoughts, and this post is not for everyone.</p> <p>Let me start by saying that it is becoming increasingly difficult to live as a normal person in this mad world. Yes, the woke march hasn't been fully embraced in Africa, but those of us who see it can identify little patches. Woke.com is gradually gaining more followers, and if you haven't subscribed, they'll come for you. There is nothing crazier than the idea of relativism in the context of gender, sexuality, and culture; you can add the rest yourself. If everything is relative, then perhaps we have all been fooled since birth. The uninformed and the informed are the most dangerous! Those who, with words, make others build towers leading to the heavens My advice is to stay dogged, irrespective of eloquence. Sometimes you must protect your ignorance, as it may be your innocence. Besides, unapologetic doesn't mean intelligent! Don't accommodate ideals you don't understand or aren't comfortable with.</p> <p>We've told people their words count, irrespective of how uninformed their opinions are.</p> <p>It's basically the "fence mentality" we're pushing. I wonder how our people fare in climes where wokeness is democracy. Well, who am I to judge? I could be wrong, but is wrong not right depending on the beholder? I mean, right and wrong are on a spectrum. I hope you got the joke!</p> <p>I feel free speech gives room to wrong speech. These days, we can't correct people without being called names. This is my TwoCents to woke people. </p> <p>Learn Unlearn Relearn</p> </span>
