To enter a "higher state" of consciousness. Recognizing the intrinsic value that everything is connected with each other.

It can be defined as being in a state of non-resistance, non-attachment and non-judgement.

When you're woke you recognize the universe for what it is without labeling it as good or bad, but realizing that everything is equally important and not important at the same time.
The essence of being woke is to be in a state of non-resistance, non-attachment and non-judgement.

The word was probably first used in 1942 by J Saunders Redding, but it is possible that it was used before this. When Redding used it, he intended it to mean stay alert for injustices or discrimination. Unfortunately it is now being used as a tool to discriminate against white people, or anything else that the Chattering Classes, Snowflakes or political opportunists find unacceptable.
Stay woke for there are people who will discriminate against you whilst claiming to be woke.

A word illogical people use to band together to give their lives meaning.

A community of people who seek to assert sexual exploitation, social injustice, and so on, into issues in which none of it exist just so they can feel like they belong to something superior.
An example of being woke means you believe Nazis, KKK, and various other racist organizations became racist because they read Dr. Seuss.
I bet if Harvey Weinstein, Brock Turner, and Bill Cosby had been woke, Peppe Le Pew would not have influenced them to sexually assault those women.

An outdated word that cringe-cervatives use as a description of the left. They think it makes them sound cooler when really they sound like a dumb millennial who relies on FOX as their only news outlet

They also use “based” to describe themselves which may be even worse.
Cringe-cervative: “i really can't stand my generation. What a bunch of woke libbys. Good thing I'm a based conservative”

Normal people: “wow”
