Get the Politically Correct mug.Political correctness is America's newest form of intolerance, and it is especially pernicious because it comes disguised as tolerance. It presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people's language with strict codes and rigid rules. I'm not sure that's the way to fight discrimination. I'm not sure silencing people or forcing them to alter their speech is the best method for solving problems that go much deeper than speech. - George Carlin, 2004

Get the Politically open sexual preference mug.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.
