pro-communist, anti-capitalist yet for some reason chooses to live in a capitalist country when they could move out, finding racism in everything, exhuding acceptance and tolerance by acting extremely hostile to different opinions, the incapability of critical thought, being anti-police while calling the cops for help when theyre in an emergency, hating their country because it's not an oppressive totalitarian state

Get the wokemug. 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.

They is only one person, but they has a big effect on everyone around them. They's so woke that they can't function properly in life, it's hard to understand them, and even their friends can't keep track of their pronouns.
He's so woke that he's asleep.
Wokey dokey.

Get the Wokemug. "Woke" is being in a state of being open-eyed to the world around you. Wokeness is the essence of being aware and connected to your environment (personal not ecological nor global), nor is it political! If one is Woke they are able and willling to call a lie a lie, and to SEEK the truth.

1. A woke Caucasian college professor tells his students that the best way to combat prejudice is to actually go out and make the effort to simply TALK to someone who doesn't look like you. Get to know them as people instead of their skin color, gender or religion.
2. A big company wants to know how they can combat racism in America. They decide to remove the black person from the cover of their product's packaging. It solves nothing. The company issues a statement that someone was paid to write for them, black people roll their eyes and the company moves on, feeling that they have done their part and they're now woke because of it.
