Woke is a phrase that has gone through some changes in recent times -

The previous definition of woke was slang for being politically awake, for example knowing that there are legitimate social injustices in the United States, such as police brutality, poverty, disability discrimination, etc.

However, " to be politically woke" has changed in recent times. Woke is now used more as a derogatory term to satire or make fun of SJWs who go too far or lack political knowledge.

Woke nowadays refers to a specific ideology of people who oversimplify complex societal issues into a binary hierarchy of oppressor group vs victim group, and the ideology often removes sense of individuality / nuance.

"woke" ideology can often call for measures to be put in, namely Equality of Outcome and call for the legally compelled measures to artificially elevate the victim class and similar measures to artificially relegate the said oppressor class.

The main issue with being "politically woke" is that it often blames entire groups for the actions of a few, or may bring up historical injustice from centuries ago and frame it as a present issue and present people responsible for it.

Friend 2: in the good way?

Friend 1: no, the bad way.

Hail Hydra is a phrase from the fictional HYDRA organization in marvel movies and comics.

HYDRA is a secret evil organization. While the acronym wasn't officially revealed to fans, some believe it means : Hierarchy of Yielding Disciples for Reigning Authority.

HYDRA's origins have been hotly debated among fan theories. Some people have said that HYDRA is an evil ancient order stretching as far back as Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, Enlightenment eras.

Others say HYDRA began in the 1800s as a secret elite similar to the illuminati and made sure that the Entente won WW1, the Allies won WW2, and the West won the cold war. Some say the elite HYDRA picked those sides as it would benefit their New World Order, and made sure to eliminate the Gold Standard to control the masses through capitalism.

There are contradicting theories on HYDRA in fanfic, but it's mainly speculation.

Hail HYDRA means to show allegiance to them.

Stroad is an unofficial slang portmanteau of street + road. It refers to roads that do a dangerous job of combining the features of a street and a road.

It is often a high-capacity suburban arterial road typically going through a commercial strip development. They are usually lined with direct access points to retail businesses with expansive front parking, making the area car-centric and having low walkability. They can often be multilane and go at speeds slightly faster than regular city speed limits.

Stroads often get memed as a satire of North American suburban life, full of lifeless bland consumerism, and a sort of artificial / detached sense of reality.
Friend 1: Do you feel a little sick driving through these kinds of places, mentally?

Friend 2: Yeah because it's literally a STROAD bro.
