woke

Old Definition: Awareness of our issues.

New Definition: Fake awareness of issues that don't exist, Mainly used politically. Or A left-leaning ideologist with a close-minded character.

History: The term 'woke' was used by the Black community to spread awareness of the issues they've been facing, but ever since politicians starting using it, its lost real meaning, pretty much silencing the voice of the oppressed.

It was first used by the social liberals as a political movement, but has also manage to fool its opponent who's also adapted to newer term.

Old meaning Ex: You need to wake up, stay woke about the issues America is facing.

New Meaning Ex: Hey let's spread awareness of how offensive it is to be called by gender pronouns!

woke

Describes a state of being in which you generally question common paradigms. The word denotes that a person has a desire to research his positions on most issues before espousing ideas that are accepted. Intrinsic to the state of being woke is that you fight against systems of indoctrination such as religion, education system, racism, nutrition, etc...

I need a girl that is woke so she can help me keep my diet on point.

woke

being aware of the social. and political environments regarding all demographics and socio-economic standings.

After seeing that someone is completely clueless to the latest political mess:
Me: I can't believe she doesn't know what's going on, or why it's a problem. She is so not woke.

Not Woke

A view of the world not based on one’s own truth (i.e. standpoint epistemology), but grounded in data, reason, and universal principles.

I’m Not Woke. I agree racism exists and has caused disparities, but evidence doesn’t support it as the source for all inequality of outcome.

The Woke

A gaggle of self-righteous ideologues who would rather jump on the latest bandwagon and lecture atop soapboxes than stand on their own two feet, alongside the people they purport to advocate for.

Person 1: “Haven’t heard a peep from The Woke.”
Person 2: “Hmm, I wonder why?”
Person 1: “Diverted by some trivial issue, no doubt.”

woke

Woke means politically aware. Muhammad Ali was woke, but Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods were not. Woke people are in Black Live Matter, the Green Movement, etc. They fight the system of oppression and are aware of all of its forms.

Rachel Maddow is woke.
