Comment on Why do people call it “woke”?

Never understood this as well. During COVID the anti-vax crowd was calling people “sheep” as in being asleep or easy to control and direct.
Somehow that seemed to have morphed to “woke”, but woke to me implies that your are “awake” or “thinking”. If someone calls me woke I assume it to be a compliment.

Lol the sheep analogy. For shits and giggles, I like to reel them in by saying. Generally when a sheep is controlled and directed it’s in their best interest because they aren’t aware of the danger around them. So yeah, I’m not an immunologist and I’m not aware so I’ll be a sheep to protect myself.

Nicely said, it’s generally the sheep that goes it alone that gets eaten by the wolf!
