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.

Get the Wokemug. The term "woke", typically refers to an individual or ideology perceived as being excessively or self-righteously aware of social issues, often to the point of being dogmatic or intolerant of differing viewpoints. Being "woke" may involve adopting extreme or rigid stances on social justice topics, dismissing alternative perspectives, and engaging in "cancel culture" or online shaming tactics against those who do not align with their beliefs, overzealousness and ideological rigidity associated with certain factions of the social justice movement.
“Woke” is often associated with Virtue signalling, which refers to the practice of publicly expressing one's moral or ethical beliefs, values, or actions primarily with the intent of demonstrating one's own righteousness or gaining social approval. It involves engaging in conspicuous displays of support for certain causes or beliefs, often through public statements, social media posts, or symbolic gestures. The term is typically used in a critical or sarcastic manner to suggest that the person engaging in virtue signalling is more concerned with appearing virtuous or morally superior rather than actively working towards meaningful change or taking substantive action.

Get the Wokemug. Real definition: The state of being aware about systematic racism
According to the far-right: Anything that's not as KKK-esque as sending Blacks, Latinos, Asians, LGBTQ members, neurodivergents, and other innocent groups of people they hate for no reason into unspeakably cruel death camps bad enough to make even the likes of Hitler, Stalin, and Hirohito recoil in disgust. (obvious overexaggeration but you get what I mean)

Half-decent person with an IQ over 69: "If anything that is the opposite of woke. God the far-right disgusts me and I hope it burns to the ground metaphorically and literally."
