Shorthand for woke ideology. Woke ideology refers to a form of liberal orthodoxy which generally holds the belief that society thus far can largely be summarized as an oppressive hierarchy where identifiable groups can be categorized as either "oppressor groups" or "victim groups", and this binary system must be rectified either through collective retribution or enforced outcome ( a type of affirmative action) to bring about "equity", which in this ideology refers to artificially elevating the "victim group" and artificially relegating the "oppressor group". This artificial elevation can be brought about by inflating the representation of the victim group in media, careers, or finances at the expense of qualified members of the oppressor group, as well as financial exploitation against the oppressor group through either price discrimination or imposing reparations onto them in the name of "equity".
