woke

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

woke

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.

Woke

Arising from one's bed place and somehow crossing into the space time continuum forever damaging one's psyche. Being lost in the land of fucktards. Maybe you should go back to bed, dumbass. Don't get on up, we'll tell you when to wake up. Bitch.

Woke

A complex ideology of which the definition changes depending on the context.

Woke (social): An attempt to appear holier than thou by supporting groups of people believed to be oppressed, such as a particular race, gender, or sexual orientation, often to a fanatical degree.

Woke (corporate): Using tokenism, or ‘boxticking,’ to force diversity into a piece of media usually for the purpose of attempting to appear virtuous, pandering to minorities, and/or chasing ESG scores; Performative diversity.

Woke (political): A far left political ideology primarily concerned with identity politics (sexual orientation, race, gender/sex, and gender identity) and the perceived need for social justice and political/policy action to help minority groups that are believed to be oppressed.

Wokism (broad): Assigning value to people based on mainly their intrinsic biological characteristics, but also some circumstantial characteristics such as wealth or education; The assertion that reality is subjective, such as the idea that there are more than two genders (sexes) or that gender doesn’t exist at all, and also a belief that morality does not exist; The belief that one must not only tolerate, but embrace the subjective reality of others, especially if they are in a minority group.
