So ridiculous... I never used the term but understood it basically meaning "mindfulness and accepting humanity".
Then pop politics took it, stuck their chodes in it, fucked it, dragged it through the streets and shot it in the head.
And now its basically a hate term for anyone that lives with respect towards humanity.
But don't get me wrong, I hated when people threw it around as conveniently as "lit" or some shit like that.
Now using the word woke basically means you're too dumb to understand life or your own existence, because it's only grumpy selfish assholes that use it.
Woke has basically always meant what it means today. It’s just gotten worse and worse of a catch all term when people like desantis use it as a generic enemy without even having a definition for it.
Woke has previously meant "aware of social injustices" now the chuds use it as "anything they don't like and is vaguely progressive or representative of anyone not cis, het, white, or a dude"
Awake (woke) to human needs, human rights, how broken capitalism is and humanity's effect on the climate.
