I still haven't looked into what "woke" actually means, but from what I can tell, it seems to mean anything far-right people don't like.

In left-leaning spaces it means "cognizant of the injustice pervading society". On the right it means "uppity".

cognizant of the injustice pervading society

I mean that's what it means to people on the right also they just think that's a bad thing.

Yeah, seems like "woke" is anything we're not supposed to approve of this month.

I do find the word "woke" incredibly useful.

The moment the word exits someone's mouth, I save a ton of energy on how to handle any further information they share (highly suspect).

Edit: I've actually discovered some great art and culture by being warned away from it's "wokeness", too.
