the ironic state of being so hopelessly indoctrinated by the mainstream PC culture of being aggressively anti-establishment, individualistic, tolerant, and overtly aware of every marginalized social demographic that you march in lockstep with the establishment that promotes these false virtues by encouraging you to shed any remnant of individual thought or expression that does not align with the establishment's prescribed virtues, refuse to tolerate any deviation from those virtues in yourself or others, and marginalize others by reducing everyone to nothing more than a collection of immutable traits such as race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Hey! Did you see Marla's new frog/froggy pronouns? Frog identifies as frog after frog saw a 60 minutes exposé about gay, black, female republicans having internalized racist, misogynist tendencies because all gays, blacks, and women are supposed to be democrats. Frog then realized that as a white person frog wasn't oppressed enough to have a valid point of view which made frog sad and want a bath. Then frog realized frog like being in water as much as frog liked being out of the water just like a frog, so frog must be frog! Afterwards, Frog got a promotion at work for being so woke!

Get the wokemug. Woke means paying attention to whats being done in your name, to your life, in your community, to your neighbors, in your country, in our world. It means taking a stand against injustice where ever it presents. And continuing to strive even if its not personal or apparent.
Its voting in the primary and midterms, not just every four years, for a candidate whose record you have researched. And staying on your representatives to be sure the will of the People is first and foremost on their agenda...
Woke originated in the Black Community.
A 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled "If You're Woke You Dig It" by Black novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks. While I can understand the author's irritation at their appropriation I can also hear echoes of Divide and Conquer.
The powers that be much prefer the status quo. They cannot stand against the People United.
Woke means being mindful of your influence and never never ever giving up. Striving for the best world that can be. It means having principles and ideals, not just opinions. Woke is sometimes seen as passive but #StayingWoke is being knowledgeable and aware of where your power lies. Knowledge is Power and what is Power if it is not used?

My mother told me its about money, not color. The minute you let them fool you, they've won.
My mother was woke.

Get the Dark Wokemug. 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.

(Social) Amy supports transgender women because she thinks they're oppressed, when they essentially have the freedom to walk into whichever bathroom or locker room they want. She's so woke.
(Corporate) Disney's just had its thirteenth 'first gay kiss.' What a woke company.
(Political) Democratic candidate Jane Doe should never be president because she's far too woke.
(Broad) Wokism is a blight upon western civilization, and if we don't get rid of it, China will destroy us all.

Get the Wokemug. A word that’s been made bereft of meaning due to suckers who hate and blame progressive for their own failures in life using it to describe everything since 2012.
Person A: “That Movie’s Woke!”
Person B: “You’ve said that about 500 things this year. Give a criticism with an ounce of substance.”

Get the Wokemug. A catch-all phrase that members USA Republican Party, particularly of the boomer generation, uses to describe and/or discredit anything they dislike or person they think doesn’t deserve rights. Seriously, ask someone who uses this word what the definition is, they don’t actually know.
All those kids with their woke hairstyles and piercings.
