personally i think of "woke" as is being alert to injustices and differences. like calling out and addressing racism, prejudice and discrimination
how it violates anyone's Constitution Rights
using "woke" more broadly is where the problem begins, it's being used by everyone to promote their version of social justice - and making "woke" a political target.
cancel culture is being conflated with "woke", like if someone is punished or silenced for expressing their opinions b/c according to a loud narrow minority of SJW their words are deemed not “woke”, this could be violating that persons First Amendment rights
DEI and "woke" are getting tangled together too. actions to address historical injustices a seen by some as creating new discrimination. like affirmative action policies or diversity quotas being called "woke" and could violate the equal protection by cutting out certain groups
i'm hoping we'll find a balance between social justice and protecting our rights. "woke" has lost it's meaning on both sides
