The term “wake up, sheeple!” has always confused me a little bit.
I mean, I get the “sheeple” concept. You’re sheep people. You just get herded around and accept whatever the authority figure tells you. It’s dumb, but it’s an understandable metaphor.
But why are we then also always telling them to wake up? Are sheep known for sleeping? Is the problem that we’re all asleep? If so, how can we be following a shepherd? The metaphor falls apart quick.
If you really want to be wake up and/or not be a sheeple, you should look at these truths as revealed to us by memes.
