      “Woke” is basically “not being a raging dick to people”. They can’t ever define it because basically any real definition of the term makes them look incredibly bad.

      • oh yeah, makes sense.

        I’ve had my bad experiences in the past with people you’d typically call “woke”, namely I’ve had a person tell me that I couldn’t use the german word “Digga” because it sounded too close to “nigga”. (I am not making this up.)

        But I am very well aware that this isn’t what the MAGA crowd means when they call someone “woke” and that there are militants in every group (looking at you, c/vegan). So yeah, your explanation makes sense. Thanks for explaining :)

          There’s obviously such a thing as taking it too far, but yeah “anything I don’t like is woke” is more their play.
