Wokeness

People use this word to describe left wingers, liberals, SJWs, members of the LGBTQ+ supporters or BLM supporters.

However the actual definition of this word was given when it was first actually used by Ron Desantis' lawyer and the actual definition he gave as to what a woke person is is this: A person who believes that there are systemic inequalities in our societies that need to be addressed.
Conservative: Wokeness has corrupted the minds of the youth
Progressive: I disagree. I think it has opened their eyes to a lot of the unfairness going on in our society

Woke

When gay people exist, apparently. This word is mostly used by people on the right side of the political spectrum to describe anything they disagree with. Gun control, critical race theory, climate change activists, and most famously, LGBTQ+ individuals or things.

woke

A term that was supposed to mean something good (being aware to social injustice and discrimination), but now it has turned into an insult that means "overly sensitive" or "pretending to be woke". Mostly used against the actual pseudo-woke, but sometimes used against ordinary people who have enough ACTUAL wokeness to call out the insult user's blatant racism/sexist/etc.

It practically got ruined by the pseudo-wokeness seen in Twitter warriors and "progressive" companies.

Having enough wokeness to recognize actual bigotry is a good thing, but please don't be a Twitter warrior.
Little sibling who just learned the word "woke": Hey I am proud to be woke

Older sibling: You shouldn't call yourself woke in public or online. That word has turned into an insult used against those pretending to be woke, like in being overly sensitive to the smallest details that are somehow "racist" or "sexist" by some warped logic or by straight-up discriminating against white people and men as an attempt to "counter" discrimination against people of color and women. Long story short they'll think you're oversensitive or even a hypocritical bigot.

Little sibling who now knows why the term "woke" has a stained reputation: Ok thanks for reminding me about this.
