A term originally coined by the Black community, that in previous years was used to describe being aware of and understanding the unfair treatment of the working class as perpetuated by oligarchs and other elites, but that is now moreso just used as a scapegoat word for conservatives and other ignorant people to hide their utter lack of empathy. Nowadays, words such as woke and wokeness are almost exclusively used by chuds and politicans as a proxy to perpetuate the ongoing culture war in America, while simultaneously turning a blind eye to those who have been effectively raped by society. The term gradually changed hands from the american Left to the Right sometime during/after Trump's presidency when conservatives unanimously conspired to steal the term and corrupt it to serve their own purposes. (Much in the same way that white people in decades past have co-opted many other various things from black culture, such as e.g. music genres like Rock/Jazz/Blues/Funk, slang and vernacular, fashion styles, or erasing black contributions to arts & sciences.) In truth, the word 'woke' has no real meaning. (as of the date of this post).
