    Woke originated in black communities and has held a few meanings over the years. In a political sense, it just refers to having an awareness of social issues.

    I will agree with you though that it is meaningless today. The conservative propaganda machine thoroughly destroyed it by conflating it with any and all culture war garbage.

      I love interpreting they’re comments with the original definition because it’s so true. “Anti-woke” means they hate the idea of being aware of how the world works.
