Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you?

Depends on who is using it. It’s either “Aware of structural institutional and social conditions that affect outcomes absent individual intent” or “Everything I personally feel is bad or makes me uncomfortable.” Most people use it to mean the latter these days, and it’s a meaningless shibboleth that describes everything in general and nothing in particular. Trans is woke, LGBT+ is woke, race is woke, education is woke, government is woke, private companies are woke, my stove is woke, beer is woke, whiskey is woke, Christianity is woke, Atheism is woke, everything is woke, and nothing is woke, and no one knows or cares what it means but they’re very mad about it.
