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.
“Boycotting Bud Light over a trans ad? That’s the woke right”
“Hey Fran, what happened to your X account?” “It got nuked by the pearl clutching woke right.”

“Did you hear what Bakugou said?” Momo asked wide-eyed.
“No; but I’m guessing it was something offensive because he’s always shook-woke,” Deku responds dejectedly.

While most of the youth use this term to describe someone who is cool and “dripped out”, I use it in a different sense. Personally, I use it to describe someone who is aware of the world. For example, if someone is knowledgeable on climate change or racial/social issues and is aware that these issues are indeed issues, they would be considered woke.
Jesse Pinkman: Who is more woke: that bitch ass chimpmunk Alvin or Zendaya?
Walter White: Most likely Zendaya. She is a real person and has experienced real discrimination.
Jesse Pinkman: But, Yo! He’s a chipmunk! Wouldn’t he be discriminated against?
Walter White: I don’t know Jesse, let’s get back to work.
Jesse Pinkman: Come on, Mr. White, can we have some fun? You’re like so old dude!

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.

A term used mostly used by racial separatist. This group of "woke" people insist that the majority of Caucasian people are racist, when in reality it is them, the "woke" who are the racist. Continually they separate people by color of their skin.
