Originally intended to mean "alert to civil rights issues" or "takes an enlightened approach to civil rights", its meaning has changed. It is now associated with adopting an obsessive, blinkered or deliberately obtuse approach to certain civil rights, particularly in relation to equality. It refers to an approach which is overall and on balance harmful to society, ignores context and counterpoints, and is ignorant of the wider ramifications of the position taken.
Under the pretense of being politically correct, the "woke" person is, ironically, asleep, in that they are ignorant of or unconcerned by the harms caused by their actions. Such harms may include:
• damage to freedom of expression and freedom of association
• the diminution of comedy, and artistic license in music and film, to the point that it becomes dull
• stifling of conversation
• fear of expressing an alternative opinion or calling out that which is evidently nonsense
• feelings of being browbeaten, helpless and living in a dystopian society
• diversion of societal focus away from more pressing issues affecting society
• the breakdown of language and societal structures
• discrimination and prejudice against others with particular characteristics - typically those who, in a particular location or organisation, are in a majority - under the guise of improving equality and acting on behalf of the minority.
The "woke" person may be acting in their own self-interests to achieve their own ends.

Get the Woke mug.People who would rather genocide every european race then admit that there are races but at the same time celebrate black pride month and lobby for various races rights once they are not white. Often seen with BLM badges alongside rainbow pins.
They also claim to care about children but really they want to violate childrens rights to innocence and happiness by ramming lgbtq+ and other propagandas down their throats. They will never research where the transgender movement began or listen to victims stories of regret but carry on pedalling tolerance of depraved fetishes and encouraging mental illnesses no matter who gets hurt. Can often be found putting up drag queen story hour posters in schools or libraries.
Wokeists are often vegatarians and sonetimes vegan but also support abortion, they have never checked how babies are aborted or considered that tearing a baby limb from limb might be more cruel that shooting a cow in the head. Sometimes you will find them crying and screaming in a frenzied rage "my body, my choice" but this does not apply to vaccines which they think should be forcibly injected into people. Of course theyv never read any ingredients list of any vaccines or checked how morally good the companies supplying them are or read the side effects.
They seem to genuinely think they have moral and mental superiority and cancel any information or friend that questions them or their insanity.
