Woke

Woke means lemming mentality, unquestioning and unthinking support of the "current thing" (usually a whole panoply of current things), support of "political correctness", extreme bias and suppression of any difference in opinion.

Woke culture followers call themselves liberals, misdefining (as they always tend to do) yet another term, as there is nothing liberal about them. The hallmark of a liberal is tolerance of others' views. All they have is a rabid hatred and extremism towards different views.
There is definitely a woke bias in modern press.

Woke

Disconnecting from your busy thoughts through meditation and mindfulness in order to see outside yourself. Paying attention to the state of the entire world and recognizing you are in a much better position than many more. to care about others that were not so lucky & to use our resources to lift someone else up. When there is an injustice to one there is an injustice to us all. We are all one & god lives in all of us.

2. Sometimes an innocent lack of aware that took us by surprise.
I used to be kinda a dick but I didn’t realize it because society is sick - but I am so woke now. We are all healing.

Woke

Woke

"Woke" originated in African American English and defined awareness of and attentiveness to social and racial injustices. To be "woke" politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality.

RIght-wingers who are angry that they suffer repercussions for using pejoratives to attack minorities, women, and people of non-trad genders use it as a cudgel to denigrate people who fight for social and racial justice. In its misuse, it is a form of hate speech.

It is a favorite term of Trump and his party. In the example, he erroneously equates diversity programs with unfair advantages for minorities.
“Our country will be woke no longer,” Trump said. “We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer, or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender.”

Woke

It literally means ''past of wake''.

However, it has a different meaning in politics in United States.

In terms of right-wing politics, it means ''following an intolerant and moralising ideology'' or ''social media-fueled, leftwing political ideology.'' It is especially used against corporations that ''virtue signal''.

For the left-wing politics, it means ''alert to injustice in society''. This is the first time it was used in politics, but never been really capitalized that much by the left, until the opposition decided to use it much more frequently as a slang against their opponents.
