To be woke is to believe and assert one is smarter, more enlightened and morally superior to everybody who thinks differently, when in reality one has a sub-80 IQ and is a selfish narcissist.
"If you think 2+2=4 and not any other number you feel it should equal, you ain't woke."
"I'm going to eat at Burger King because they are woke and put rainbows or the color pink on some of their packaging for 1 month, so I know it's food meant for womxn and LGBT people and not for cis-men like food that comes in neutral packaging. Burger King cares for me even though they have done nothing substantive for LGBT people and the food is identical no matter what it comes in."
"I quit my job because they weren't woke enough. They wouldn't accommodate me for the mental illness I diagnosed myself with from a buzzfeed article and 5 tiktoks and the cancer I diagnosed myself with on WebMD. I told my boss I have CANCER and he told me to get to work unless I have a diagnosis from a licensed physician. He's such an unreasonable asshole."

Woke culture or a woke person thinks they are awake to social issues, when the reality of it is, they have been indoctrinated into thinking things that aren’t true. Essentially, they aren’t awake to anything at all. They just fall for propaganda thrown at them without question.

Using an improper word in an incorrect tense to attempt to attach some worldly signifigance to a person or object (books, screenplay, etc.) so that one appears to be "hip." In actual fact, this usage shows one's ignorance and inability to use words and feelings to express oneself properly.
A celebrity guest on Talking Dead used "woke" to describe the episode of The Walking Dead when elightened or relevant may have made better choices. Keep in mind that this is a fictional show about Zombies.

To be awake/illuminated to the most important topics of human existence. These topics are what people are going to read about 100 years from now, things like the American power elite, Donald Trump/Jared Kushner, perpetual warfare, applied quantum physics, advanced AI, aliens, the next world war, nuclear proliferation etc, not stupid shit like affirmative action or utterly meaningless LGBT identity struggles. People who claim to be woke on the latter examples are idiotic charalatans who are still asleep and who will be forgotten by the pages of history (cough SJWs cough).
Being a SJW doesn’t make you woke, understanding the tides and nuances of historical, spiritual and scientific destiny makes you woke.

The peculiar state in which a person is for the first time able to grasp certain spiritual ideals, while at the same time not yet being able to really live up to them. The person is therefore specifically tempted to judge others who apparently don't live up to these ideals.
Woke Person: "Dude, have you seen these shitheads driving their fat cars? They really didn't get the message."
Dude: "Ah comon bro, stop acting so woke."
Woke Person: "You're right dude. I realize a part of me would also like to have such a car. I should take some honest time with myself and get really clear about my priorities. D'oh."
