So the person who wrote this thinks there are "woke" things? I wonder what those are. Anyone with more than two brain cells and normal empathy knows that there's no such thing as "woke", it's a dumb and hateful term and should never be used other than in reference to those who use it.

    The term woke is actually over a hundred years old, and originally meant awareness of racism. Over time, it expanded to awareness of gender inequality, LGBTQIA+ rights, etc.

    Stay woke.

    So essentially means not being a conservative?

    Plenty of liberals act like civil rights and gay marriage meant racism/homophobia was over and don't like to acknowledge the ways the system still oppresses us.

    Plenty of Allies act like because they aren't a bigot personally, they've done their part fighting bigotry.
