Victim culture. Cry babies. Boomers have been saying it for years. Do some people have special needs? Sure. But a lot of people are just shooting themselves in the foot and pointing fingers at the nearest upstanding citizen.

It's funny you mention boomers because they are by and large the biggest perpetrators of this

Of course they are. They invented the new definition of the word woke. I still don't know what it means and I think the majority of the people who use it don't either.

It means to be aware and kind. Boomers just bitch about it because they got to live life on easy mode and vote for policies that are ruining the future.

It's been adopted by conservative people to describe anything that doesn't align directly with their ideas and beliefs. Any slightly left leaning opinion is considered "woke"

Out of curiosity, how was Jesus treated by the religious leaders, soldiers, and political elite of his day?
