Originally intended to mean "alert to civil rights issues" or "takes an enlightened approach to civil rights", its meaning has changed. It is now associated with adopting an obsessive, blinkered or deliberately obtuse approach to certain civil rights, particularly in relation to equality. It refers to an approach which is overall and on balance harmful to society, ignores context and counterpoints, and is ignorant of the wider ramifications of the position taken.
Under the pretense of being politically correct, the "woke" person is, ironically, asleep, in that they are ignorant of or unconcerned by the harms caused by their actions. Such harms may include:
• damage to freedom of expression and freedom of association
• the diminution of comedy, and artistic license in music and film, to the point that it becomes dull
• stifling of conversation
• fear of expressing an alternative opinion or calling out that which is evidently nonsense
• feelings of being browbeaten, helpless and living in a dystopian society
• diversion of societal focus away from more pressing issues affecting society
• the breakdown of language and societal structures
• discrimination and prejudice against others with particular characteristics - typically those who, in a particular location or organisation, are in a majority - under the guise of improving equality and acting on behalf of the minority.
The "woke" person may be acting in their own self-interests to achieve their own ends.
They is only one person, but they has a big effect on everyone around them. They's so woke that they can't function properly in life, it's hard to understand them, and even their friends can't keep track of their pronouns.
He's so woke that he's asleep.
Wokey dokey.
When calling attention to matters of social, racial, economical, or societal injustice has direct impact on a person's privilege.
The conservative christian parent complained that discussion of the impacts of slavery in class was "woke"
While most of the youth use this term to describe someone who is cool and “dripped out”, I use it in a different sense. Personally, I use it to describe someone who is aware of the world. For example, if someone is knowledgeable on climate change or racial/social issues and is aware that these issues are indeed issues, they would be considered woke.
Jesse Pinkman: Who is more woke: that bitch ass chimpmunk Alvin or Zendaya?
Walter White: Most likely Zendaya. She is a real person and has experienced real discrimination.
Jesse Pinkman: But, Yo! He’s a chipmunk! Wouldn’t he be discriminated against?
Walter White: I don’t know Jesse, let’s get back to work.
Jesse Pinkman: Come on, Mr. White, can we have some fun? You’re like so old dude!
Originally, this word referred to people who were awake about conspiracy theories (at this point, conspiracy facts).
Then, it became a word to refer to SJWs, as the most popular voted definition describes.
"Why do coins have ridges?"
"Dude, if you don't know why coins have ridges, you're not woke."
Woke is a mashup of political correctness, social justice, and victim culture. It's an ideology that restructures society into a hierarchy of oppressions.
Wokeness is becoming a systemic problem in America.
MY issue with it is that they clearly FRAME leftist talking points as self-evidently good or inarguably correct and right-wing talking points as antagonistic. The left has presuppositions like "gender is divorced from sex and is on a spectrum" that are reinforced by Hollywood in the same way that the catholic presuppositions are reinforced. Which is a good point. Take Supergirl season 4 (I think) the villain is charlie kirk. It's a framing thing. I mean... You know you'd call it "whitewashing" if it was African folklore but instead it's danish folklore and was done intentionally to hoist white people by their own petard AND they explicitly stated that it was being done for that reason. But... Yeah, that's a good point about the production ebd of things. I hadn't considered that.
Hym "You better not be talking about ME being abusive. The cripple was a shit talking bitch who I was forced to coddle in spite of the fact that they were bring him whores to fuck and put me in a situation where I was forced to either affirm her decision to fuck a retard instead or me or allow them to exploit me in exchange for letting me get away with LESS egregious rule breaking or follow all of the rules while that whore fucks a cripple. You needed to suck the cripples dick to get him to follow any rules. And The boys tried to frame it as me abusing tyrone for no reason but tyrone is a shit talking retarded bitch who likes to think he's proving a point but is too stupid to realize that it isn't the actual WORDS he's using but the ACT of using the words to deride me or the ACT of accusing me of being something I'm not. But.... If I accept meatball's definition of woke, it explains Jordan's pissant attitude. You see how he wanted to covertly excise people from society using his personality test as minority report style future crime? He thought I was Brandon Schiff (And that's why people spammed UD with fuck you brandon posts). Did the students you kicked out KNOW why they were kicked out? Did they know they were taken out before they did anything wrong because they failed your personality test? You see me call that shit years before he was willing to admit it on camera? Ha! Oh and did you see the 'violent' footage of the 'violent' insurrection?"
