Never mind that ''Utopia'' is a parody by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More Thomas More], who was the Lord High Chancellor of England who refused to bow to King Henry VIII's idea of a Utopian kingdom. The latest version of that fantasy is invented and pushed by the ''woke''. See, in particular the critique [https://www.mindingthecampus.org/2020/11/02/go..."

You will, however, find it in definition 1 in the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the adjective form in the Oxford online dictionary and in definitions 2 and 3 in the Wiktionary online dictionary. There is major agreement in these more “woke” dictionaries." current

This politically incorrect postmodern dictionary is a repository of postmodern usage of modern terminology. Its purpose is to explain such usage to modern people who have failed or decided not to cross over into the heady territory of anything-goes postmodernism. It is not to be confused with the postmoderndictionary.com, which has been discontinued. It was a site that..." current

The term is composed of two somewhat neutral terms. White refers primarily to the Caucasian group of ethnicity, Hispanics excluded (according to post-modern nomenclature). There is nothing in the definitions of these terms to imply inherent badness. Negative connotations creep in as a result of the progressive movement's judgments of European and American hist..." current

Not to be confused with the mathematical term "weak topology" which is a valid and significant study of dual vector spaces, weak theology appropriately reflects the intellect of its chief exponent even if it doesn't say much about God that is true or hasn't already been said in a deeper context before.

Historically, the U.S. Constitution began its life as an attempted formal written expression of the latter two.
