originally an African American grammatical error, dating back to at least the 1940s, meaning AWAKE in a political sense. In the 2010s Black Lives Matter (BLM), introduced it to a wider audience. It was immediately misappropriated by white middle class pseudo intellectuals, and used as a virtue signal. The irony being that the people who claimed they were WOKE were always the least AWAKE.
Now used as an insult to describe people that don't have any knowledge or understanding of any socio-political concepts (except that which is drip fed to them by the main stream media and education system), but like to make a lot of noise and trouble for everyone else. Cancel culture is WOKE, political correctness is WOKE, things that don't exist like, white privilege and systemic racism are WOKE ideas, critical race theory and critical queer theory, are both WOKE.

To use an example from the film The Matrix. WOKE people are those that took the blue pill but have convinced themselves that the took the red pill.

Get the Wokes mug.Originally a positive word, meaning somebody who takes nothing at face value and questions everything. However, it's become a negative word that describes those who see things that aren't there and almost try to manufacture controversy where none exists.
