woke-avist

A woke activist. Someone who is so progressive and is obnoxious in their extreme social justice beliefs as it pertains to leftist ideologies.

They will continue to "educate" you about how others' beliefs and opinions need to change to "progress humanity forwards". Which means that anybody elses points of views/opinions are unacceptable forms of hate speech if they don't align with their ideologies...aka extreme left-wing.

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 Right

The woke right is a contemporary political phenomenon that mirrors the virtue signaling, identity politics, and outrage tactics of the woke left—but in service of conservative, populist, or nationalist goals. It deploys viral content, memes, and boycotts to attack progressive causes like DEI, gender ideology, and mass migration, framing these battles in absolute moral terms—often targeting racial egalitarianism and blank-slate humanism—and casting “patriots,” “Christians,” or “normal gays” as besieged identity groups.
