That which conservatives don't like.

Get the woke mug.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.

Get the Woke mug.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.

Get the woke mug.Examples of pseudo-wokeness:
Calling very small things that aren't even racist "racist" for no real reason.
Discriminating against white people, men, and straight people, thinking it'll "counter" the discrimination against people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ members that happened in the past and the present.
Any sort of corporate pandering
Doing any of the examples of pseudo-wokeness shown here won't fix the fire that is bigotry. It'll just create another "anti-fire" (which is really just another fire) that'll burn down society even more and possibly even strengthen the pre-existing fire.

Get the pseudo-wokeness mug.A far left ideology that teaches young impressionable people, that their feelings are more important than facts.

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.
