Woke used to mean aware of systemic mechanisms of privilege and oppression in society. I had to stop using it unironically because it turned into a white power derisive buzzword.

To be fair, it still refers to awareness and sympathy for those who suffer from systemic injustice. It's just wrong according to hate-driven pro-authoritarian movements to sympathize with outsiders.

Current use of woke as a term of contempt is an admission if bigotry.

I know what woke means. I call myself woke. I also call myself progressive and a socialist. The fact that they snear those words at us and use them to cause moral panic among the dumpth doesn't change that.
