Someone who truly began seeing things as they are, someone who can't be affected by propaganda, someone who can tell a lie from truth.

Get the neo-woke mug.The belief that all forms of pop culture have always been "woke" while they are also simultaneously in need of being "updated for modern audiences".
Person 1: Dude, everything is always been woke! But we also need to change them so that nobody today gets offended.
Person 2: Sounds like Schrödinger's Wokeness: everything always was - and never was - woke. smh...

Get the Schrödinger's Wokeness mug.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.”

Get the Woke mug.In response to the "Bethany Mandel, Conservative author, struggles to define WOKE" issue of 3/23,
I commented on Christopher Rufo's 4/26/2023 video
"The Assault on Sexual “Normativity” Is an Assault on the Basic Structure of Reality"
===
WOKE = Will Only Kriticize Europe.
8:30 CR understands WOKE as James Lindsay does. JL: "Communism doesn't know how." "Ruthless criticism of all that exists." CR: "It functions almost entirely on the process of negation." and he then proceeds to throb with commie-wrecker energy.
But his formulations for WOKE, while accurate, aren't as short and snappy as mine. ;)
There was a need, a few weeks ago, for a SHORT & SNAPPY definition of WOKE.
Here's one to take & run with!
"Only" to be taken in many senses.
Woke will never criticize non-European cultures; Woke will never be able to do anything by itself.
WOKE: WILL ONLY CRITICIZE EUROPE.

Get the Woke mug.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.

Get the Woke mug.A state of being where one is aware of the various hypocrisies and double standards of contemporary society.
1. After attending her son's school play, Martha was so en woke that she felt the need to post a sarcastic tweet about how she had just seen the "best dramatic performance of the year".
2. After seeing all the celebrities posting about the need to be environmentally friendly, Randy decided to get en woke and posted a picture of himself with a reusable plastic straw and the hashtag #savetheplanet.
