A fork of Rural Dictionary
While most of the youth use this term to describe someone who is cool and “dripped out”, I use it in a different sense. Personally, I use it to describe someone who is aware of the world. For example, if someone is knowledgeable on climate change or racial/social issues and is aware that these issues are indeed issues, they would be considered woke.
Jesse Pinkman: Who is more woke: that bitch ass chimpmunk Alvin or Zendaya? Walter White: Most likely Zendaya. She is a real person and has experienced real discrimination. Jesse Pinkman: But, Yo! He’s a chipmunk! Wouldn’t he be discriminated against? Walter White: I don’t know Jesse, let’s get back to work. Jesse Pinkman: Come on, Mr. White, can we have some fun? You’re like so old dude!
Originally, this word referred to people who were awake about conspiracy theories (at this point, conspiracy facts). Then, it became a word to refer to SJWs, as the most popular voted definition describes.
"Why do coins have ridges?" "Dude, if you don't know why coins have ridges, you're not woke."
A word that’s been made bereft of meaning due to suckers who hate and blame progressive for their own failures in life using it to describe everything since 2012.
Person A: “That Movie’s Woke!” Person B: “You’ve said that about 500 things this year. Give a criticism with an ounce of substance.”
Woke is a mashup of political correctness, social justice, and victim culture. It's an ideology that restructures society into a hierarchy of oppressions.
Wokeness is becoming a systemic problem in America.
Real definition: The state of being aware about systematic racism According to the far-right: Anything that's not as KKK-esque as sending Blacks, Latinos, Asians, LGBTQ members, neurodivergents, and other innocent groups of people they hate for no reason into unspeakably cruel death camps bad enough to make even the likes of Hitler, Stalin, and Hirohito recoil in disgust. (obvious overexaggeration but you get what I mean)
Literal Neo-Nazi: "OH MY GOD TRANS PEOPLE ARE ONLY BEING BANNED FROM SPORTS AND NOT DRAWN AND QUARTERED AS WELL!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WOKE ALERT WOKE ALERT WOKE ALERT!!!!!!!!!!" Half-decent person with an IQ over 69: "If anything that is the opposite of woke. God the far-right disgusts me and I hope it burns to the ground metaphorically and literally."
MY issue with it is that they clearly FRAME leftist talking points as self-evidently good or inarguably correct and right-wing talking points as antagonistic. The left has presuppositions like "gender is divorced from sex and is on a spectrum" that are reinforced by Hollywood in the same way that the catholic presuppositions are reinforced. Which is a good point. Take Supergirl season 4 (I think) the villain is charlie kirk. It's a framing thing. I mean... You know you'd call it "whitewashing" if it was African folklore but instead it's danish folklore and was done intentionally to hoist white people by their own petard AND they explicitly stated that it was being done for that reason. But... Yeah, that's a good point about the production ebd of things. I hadn't considered that.
Hym "You better not be talking about ME being abusive. The cripple was a shit talking bitch who I was forced to coddle in spite of the fact that they were bring him whores to fuck and put me in a situation where I was forced to either affirm her decision to fuck a retard instead or me or allow them to exploit me in exchange for letting me get away with LESS egregious rule breaking or follow all of the rules while that whore fucks a cripple. You needed to suck the cripples dick to get him to follow any rules. And The boys tried to frame it as me abusing tyrone for no reason but tyrone is a shit talking retarded bitch who likes to think he's proving a point but is too stupid to realize that it isn't the actual WORDS he's using but the ACT of using the words to deride me or the ACT of accusing me of being something I'm not. But.... If I accept meatball's definition of woke, it explains Jordan's pissant attitude. You see how he wanted to covertly excise people from society using his personality test as minority report style future crime? He thought I was Brandon Schiff (And that's why people spammed UD with fuck you brandon posts). Did the students you kicked out KNOW why they were kicked out? Did they know they were taken out before they did anything wrong because they failed your personality test? You see me call that shit years before he was willing to admit it on camera? Ha! Oh and did you see the 'violent' footage of the 'violent' insurrection?"
A deliberately ill-defined term functioning as a catch-all grievance basket that individuals who lean to the political right use to vaguely describe the perceived ills of society. Often used as a slur to disparage their ideological opponents, and frames being intolerant of things like intolerance, as equivalent to objectively offensive intolerant behaviour.
Person 1: Late stage capitalism has exacerbated economic inequality to historic levels. Person 2: Whatever you say “woke mob leftist”.
