originally an African American grammatical error, dating back to at least the 1940s, meaning AWAKE in a political sense. In the 2010s Black Lives Matter (BLM), introduced it to a wider audience. It was immediately misappropriated by white middle class pseudo intellectuals, and used as a virtue signal. The irony being that the people who claimed they were WOKE were always the least AWAKE.

Now used as an insult to describe people that don't have any knowledge or understanding of any socio-political concepts (except that which is drip fed to them by the main stream media and education system), but like to make a lot of noise and trouble for everyone else. Cancel culture is WOKE, political correctness is WOKE, things that don't exist like, white privilege and systemic racism are WOKE ideas, critical race theory and critical queer theory, are both WOKE.
To use an example from the film The Matrix. WOKE people are those that took the blue pill but have convinced themselves that the took the red pill.

Woke

Share definition
1. One who cannot be blind to the Madness of this world. A person who sees injustices and inequalities and refuses to adhere to them and takes the necessary means to denounce them.

A person who fights for peace, fair values and advocates for a more inclusive world

2. syn ; AWAKEN
2.1 : someone who shows no acceptance (acceptance: letting unacceptable things happen without reacting. Turning a blind eye to the obvious)

3. symbolically, a mirror

4. Neo-Anarchism / Neo-Queerness

Anarchist who redefines the rules of knowing how to live rather than believing in the abolition of the rules

Queer - without connotation related to gender identity or sexual orientation. Difference. Queer line of thought.

5. Community / Pride
1. A stubborn right-wing conservative got a taste of his own medicine when a Woke served as his mirror and publicly denounced his antiquated fascism
1.1: I don't believe in fighting fire with flowers. You got to speak the language of your opponents.

2. I can't NOT SEE anymore. All this crap around me... I am awaken now. Proud to be a Woke

2.1 : As a Woke, I will not tolerate any hateful or unequal behavior. I loudly denounce every gesture, every word and every thought that puts the safety and validity of my peers at risk

3. Being a Woke, you must be a stark reflection of the society you live in and you must put that reality in the face of the perpetrators of human hate crimes.

4. Don't let your queerness be defined by your gender identity or sexual orientation.
Being Queer means thinking outside the box. It means wanting to do things differently.

5. Being part of the Woke Community allows me to realize all the madness of this world and allows me to refuse to join. I can now find myself with people who think and act like me and fight for the right causes without fear of being alone.

Any progressive movement that is a caricature of its intended goal/message. Especially if it is overly aggressive, overly stupid, or overly self harmful.
Activist: Yo that sombrero is cultural appropriation, don’t you know that is a microaggression against mexican people? I am offended on their behalf! Take it off!

Normal Person: Shut up, I am not woke.

The state of pretending that a biological male can actually give birth to a human baby.
Steven said he read in a science book that men could actually give birth to a baby. I asked to see the book but he said he lost it. He’s pretty woke.

Anything that is even mildly progressive that the American right doesn't like.

Examples:
Disney - Had a LGBT background character a few times.
Bud Light - Sponsored a trans woman once.
Target - Had pride merch in June once again just like every year, but it was only this year that conservatives made a fuss about it.
M&Ms - Temporarily changed the design of the green M&M as a marketing stunt in order to distract from their allegations of child slavery.
"M&Ms is so woke they changed the GREEN M&MS SHOES!!! Damn liberals at it again!"
"You know that N&Ms has been accused of child slavery? That this is all just a distraction?"
"Shut up wokie!"

"Woke": A state of leftist liberal brainwashing and propaganda imposed on society through politics, media, public education and peer pressure under the guise of "social justice" and political activism, with the goals of dismantling European white ethnic and national identity, conservative ethics, common sense and universal Christian moral and family values.
Braindead leftist liberal moron: "I'm so woke I hate all white people, am unashamedly a supporter of BLM, Antifa, LGBTQ and I hate all Christians too! And I hate God, and conservatives, and capitalism, and property rights, and free speech and free thought and critical thinking and common sense and...and...and...whatever else my beloved celebrity idols tell me to hate! And I love communism and socialism and...and...and whatever else my celebrity idols tell me to love and support! Yeah! Social justice! Screw white people!"

Normal person: "Cringe!"
