Aaron Erlich, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said it’s important to make people aware of misleading information online. But he said the wording in the CSIS campaign was “not the most straightforward” and appeared to be an attempt not just to educate but to invoke fear.

Erlich said clumsy messaging can backfire, and he would like to know if the messaging was tested at all to see how it would be received.

    Woke
    
    Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.
    
    My son's woke kindergarten teacher taught him that he's actually a girl because he played with dolls.

      Which mental illnesses would those be? Could you be specific?

          I’m just looking for clarity. You presumably endorse the definition you posted and I want to understand what it means. Which mental illnesses?

          [Edit] Is there some reason you don’t want to clarify this? You seem pretty cagey.
