It literally means ''past of wake''.
However, it has a different meaning in politics in United States.
In terms of right-wing politics, it means ''following an intolerant and moralising ideology'' or ''social media-fueled, leftwing political ideology.'' It is especially used against corporations that ''virtue signal''.
For the left-wing politics, it means ''alert to injustice in society''. This is the first time it was used in politics, but never been really capitalized that much by the left, until the opposition decided to use it much more frequently as a slang against their opponents.

"Woke" is being in a state of being open-eyed to the world around you. Wokeness is the essence of being aware and connected to your environment (personal not ecological nor global), nor is it political! If one is Woke they are able and willling to call a lie a lie, and to SEEK the truth.
See "Woke" definition above

The (false) belief, rooted in socialism and by extension gnosticism, that the state of nature is absolute equality and fairness, and that every disparity between any persons or groups is invariably the result of some oppression or exploitation, and thus the only way to restore the state of nature is to dismantle every element of culture and civilization imaginable, presumably to be replaced with some form of socialism.

You woke idiots are dipfucks. If countries like America and the UK become too ethnically diverse, then we will have no fucking culture! I'd rather if places like Scotland is a Scottish Majority because that way we will retain our Scottish Culture. I want Africa to be all Black, I want China to be all Chinese. I don't hate other races as you idiots claim, I just think individuality is important.

Pretending to care on something or someone, not because you do really care, but because you want to look kind and good in the eyes of other people, even though you are lying to them and hide them the facts.
Transperson: You can identify any gender as you like, I can even identify as 5 year old girl, so I can take any young boys I want, without being a creep.

A modern ideology that combines Race + Identity politics with Marxism theology to create a Hierarchy of victimhood which teaches to see people as races and groups instead of individuals. And to judge people by their race and identity instead of their Merits, actions or their content of their character. Which believes all disparities between groups of people are caused by sexism, racism, homophobia & ETC. Instead of culture, work ethic, educational differences.
The wokeness in the media has made modern shows and movies. Disney pushing wokeness has harmed their reputation and their stock.
