2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Huh?--ZooGuard (talk) 07:56, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Actually it's got some potential. Not sure about the tile though, SophieWilderModerator 11:15, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
It probably shouldn't be in all caps (at least in the page title). WéáśéĺóíďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 18:09, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps it should be a subsection of Sheeple. --TheLateGatsby (The end of the dock ) 18:18, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
That might be best. SophieWilderModerator 20:13, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
When did RW come down on the side of GMOs? ħumanUser talk:Human 06:45, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

I must disagree[edit]

The section titled "What to do if you encounter someone using this phrase" advises that maybe it is best to walk away from the conversation. I must disagree there. Keeping them talking will usually result in the most mind boggling and hilarious claims one could ever hope to see! 139.216.197.245 (talk) 10:49, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

¿[edit]

Out of curiosity, is there any documented usage of more reasonable activists using this phrase? Swerve (talk) 15:25, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Adding exclamation point to name?[edit]

This is almost always exclaimed, so would anyone mind if I moved it to "Wake up!"?--TiaC (talk) 02:15, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Hilarious[edit]

"Stay Woke" used by black Americans awfully similar[edit]

It's a popular phrase used by blacktivists and I've noticed race realists use it, if mockingly, but it looks like they have the same meaning. I'll add the race-specific term into the article in a week if no one objects. Rosenkreuz (talk) 10:02, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

No mention of RAtM?[edit]

I'm not surprised that any of you fascists didn't acknowledge the classic Rage song of the same name. Which deals with the conspiracy theory that MLK and Malcolm X were killed by COINTELPRO (which we still haven't got an RW page on) and their less than legal tactics used against the "New Left" groups and their leaders. - Shouniaisha (talk) 04:01, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Wake up[edit]

... and smell the (nonsense/flowers/rest of it. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:01, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
