Does anyone else know what Woke means?

If someone says they are woke they are not woke. But who ever they said that to is not woke either. Someone who says they are are not, they are pretending. They may be trying to be woke but they are not. Woke is something spiritual not political. The most woke people in history (one of which you might no think of as woke) are Siddarth aka Buddha, Jesus Christ, Gondi, and Marry Magdoline.

I think the definition provided by Ryan Johnson, one of Ron DeSantis' attorneys, would be a good one, since DeSantis based his entire campaign on "anti-woke." He said "[b]it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them[/b]." I would agree with this.

@LeopoldBloom That's pretty close to the dictionary definition, which I keep on my clipboard because people keep messing it up.

woke

[i]ˈwōk[/i]
woker; wokest

woke values/language

@LordShadowfire Exactly. It's become a pejorative because conservatives don't believe that systemic inequities exist or that they need to be addressed, so anyone who thinks they do is either a "groomer" who delights in forcing children to change their gender, or is a racist who thinks white kindergartners should be punished to atone for slavery.

Here's a conservative explaining what "woke" is.
