A term originally coined by the Black community, that in previous years was used to describe being aware of and understanding the unfair treatment of the working class as perpetuated by oligarchs and other elites, but that is now moreso just used as a scapegoat word for conservatives and other ignorant people to hide their utter lack of empathy. Nowadays, words such as woke and wokeness are almost exclusively used by chuds and politicans as a proxy to perpetuate the ongoing culture war in America, while simultaneously turning a blind eye to those who have been effectively raped by society.
The term gradually changed hands from the american Left to the Right sometime during/after Trump's presidency when conservatives unanimously conspired to steal the term and corrupt it to serve their own purposes. (Much in the same way that white people in decades past have co-opted many other various things from black culture, such as e.g. music genres like Rock/Jazz/Blues/Funk, slang and vernacular, fashion styles, or erasing black contributions to arts & sciences.)
In truth, the word 'woke' has no real meaning. (as of the date of this post).

Person A: "I'm tired of tolerating all this woke virtue-signaling going on today."
Person B: "So what's 'woke' about it?"

Person B: "Hmm, interesting. Can you actually define what the term 'woke' means?"
Person A: "Ummm...... it's when you...... it's when.... like, when people--..... uhh, blue hair, or... something...?"
Person B: "Yeah, didn't think so."

Get the woke mug.term for a person—usually on the political left—who is socially progressive but unapologetically ruthless, sarcastic, and sharp-tongued when mocking opponents.

Get the Dark Woke mug.The woke right is a contemporary political phenomenon that mirrors the virtue signaling, identity politics, and outrage tactics of the woke left—but in service of conservative, populist, or nationalist goals. It deploys viral content, memes, and boycotts to attack progressive causes like DEI, gender ideology, and mass migration, framing these battles in absolute moral terms—often targeting racial egalitarianism and blank-slate humanism—and casting “patriots,” “Christians,” or “normal gays” as besieged identity groups.
“Boycotting Bud Light over a trans ad? That’s the woke right”
“Hey Fran, what happened to your X account?” “It got nuked by the pearl clutching woke right.”
