To be woke is to believe and assert one is smarter, more enlightened and morally superior to everybody who thinks differently, when in reality one has a sub-80 IQ and is a selfish narcissist.
"If you think 2+2=4 and not any other number you feel it should equal, you ain't woke."
"I'm going to eat at Burger King because they are woke and put rainbows or the color pink on some of their packaging for 1 month, so I know it's food meant for womxn and LGBT people and not for cis-men like food that comes in neutral packaging. Burger King cares for me even though they have done nothing substantive for LGBT people and the food is identical no matter what it comes in."
"I quit my job because they weren't woke enough. They wouldn't accommodate me for the mental illness I diagnosed myself with from a buzzfeed article and 5 tiktoks and the cancer I diagnosed myself with on WebMD. I told my boss I have CANCER and he told me to get to work unless I have a diagnosis from a licensed physician. He's such an unreasonable asshole."

"Wokeness" occurs when a white, upper-class person pretends to hold opinions they imagine a black lower-class person might hold. The word itself is an incorrect tense of "awake" - referring to the perception that the black working class have a poor grasp of grammar.
The opinions that are simulated typically stem from a misunderstanding of the tendency for black working-class people to be slightly more economically left-wing and socially conservative than average - instead they are imagined to be socially left-wing, and often logically inconsistent.

When you look at the simplest thing and call it racist because you want black people to be victims. Other minorities don't matter. - a black conservative
Liberal: Look at this white guy with dreads! Racist!
Smart Person: How is that racist? If anything you're racist for saying white people can't have dreads?
Liberal: I'm just woke! Conservatard! Nazi!

Using an improper word in an incorrect tense to attempt to attach some worldly signifigance to a person or object (books, screenplay, etc.) so that one appears to be "hip." In actual fact, this usage shows one's ignorance and inability to use words and feelings to express oneself properly.
A celebrity guest on Talking Dead used "woke" to describe the episode of The Walking Dead when elightened or relevant may have made better choices. Keep in mind that this is a fictional show about Zombies.

To be awake/illuminated to the most important topics of human existence. These topics are what people are going to read about 100 years from now, things like the American power elite, Donald Trump/Jared Kushner, perpetual warfare, applied quantum physics, advanced AI, aliens, the next world war, nuclear proliferation etc, not stupid shit like affirmative action or utterly meaningless LGBT identity struggles. People who claim to be woke on the latter examples are idiotic charalatans who are still asleep and who will be forgotten by the pages of history (cough SJWs cough).
Being a SJW doesn’t make you woke, understanding the tides and nuances of historical, spiritual and scientific destiny makes you woke.
