Woke

One who is aware of, and actively engages in, discussion about social justice issues.

Originally referring to people within the black community becoming aware of racial in justices and other issues facing African-Americans. The term has been appropriated by both proponents and opponents of the greater international social justice movement.

Coming from the past-tense of wake, implying one has become "woke to the truth of the world" and those who aren't woke remain asleep and unaware.

Woke

Woke or 'being woke' is an ironic term used to define people or media. In normal circumstances the term would refer to something considered 'red-pilled' or 'heightened to a new state of awareness,' now however, the term defines being 'blue-pilled' or 'so out of touch with reality, one lives on their own plane of existence.' This sense of 'wokeness' is often characterized by an individuals unwillingness to hear outside perspectives or views, and/or to constantly deny or reject others views, regardless how rational or objective they may be. Being woke will also tend to embrace hyper-exaggerate (primarily) left-wing or progressive propaganda, talking points, and/or worldviews.
Someone who is woke will tell you, 'They are killing people!' But when you ask for evidence they will reply, 'Evidence? What do you mean? Are you not seeing what has been going on!'

I tried to watch the reboot of my favorite show as a kid, unfortunately the writers injected their woke agenda into it and it is no longer the show I remember, and instead spent most of it's time talking down to me.

Telling someone they need to believe in gender fluidity, is a woke concept with no facts to support it.
