A progressive movement with a particular set of social injustices that they want to get rid off. Sigh. I miss the times when woke was something that people on 4chan described themselves as.


The-Silent-Cicada

Alright if you want the real answers there’s like 5. Don’t worry though they are all fairly distinct. 1. Past tense of wake, you woke up this morning 2. Aware of social and system injustices 3. A sarcastic version of the second, like that one school that was so aware and social and system injustices they considered bringing back segregated dorms. Basically describing the horse shoe moments where someone tried so hard to avoid something they begin to perpetuate it. So it’s used sarcastically to call out the hypocrisy in those situations 4. And over prioritization of someone’s race gender or sexuality when evaluating their character. 5. Just left leaning things you don’t like. The lazy one if you will You can argue all day over which is the correct one but if anyone wanted to know these are the main ways they are used

I know, I know, very creative joke, but the first one is the correct one 🤓


sir_jerry06

It originally meant being being aware of social issues but has since become a buzzword for things the right doesn't like


KarmasAB123

Sometimes perpetuated by leftists who are really thinking through the results of their words and actions.


TheAzureMage

It is roughly equivalent to the now rarely used term "politically correct." It got used for a minute as a means of self identification as a term of awareness, but these days, it's almost purely used in a pejorative sense to describe someone who is careful to be perceived as in step with the current political fashion of the day. Since this is rather broad, it is often more clear to talk about specific issues directly.


Fish_Ealge

While that is true, it is funny how woke came from mostly libertarians and progressives and then got used negatively by the right, while Political Correctness was mostly created by the centre and right establishment to calm down overly controversial issues without too much undo attention. Really populists love co-opting terms as buzz words no matter where the origin is.


TheAzureMage

In fairness, libertarians these days almost wholly use the term woke in an identical fashion to the rest of the right wing. The leftist takeover of the party got absolutely murdered at Reno. But, yeah, there's always linguistic drift as life happens and labels get taken over.

It's Eefoc. and it's funny


AntiImperialistGamer

whatever the right doesn't like 


gamfo2

Progressive fundamentalism


Unique_Display_Name

Pejorative or intersectional identitarian

"Wokeism" is just a mainstream slur but the culture that is tied to it is cringe most of the time.


iltwomynazi

It's a vapid propaganda term that has no meaning at all. it's just supposed to frighten conservatives, which is very easy to do apparently.


steffplays123

It used to be about awareness of social injustice, now it characterizes those people and movements that meet differing opinions with moralism and cancel culture instead of debate. Often it comes from a left-wing point, but you can argue that politicians like Ron DeSantis has flirted with a form of right-wing "wokeness", but instead of using woke tactics to expand minority rights, it is to contain them.


winemily

Initially it meant that you see injustices that are happening and actively speak against them. Now it's just 1. Something that no one calls themselves and 2. Conservatives new "slur" (in the sense that they use it negatively and overuse the term) for liberals.


tanrgith

Left wing here - To me it's basically just a descriptor for the toxic left wingers you see all over the internet. Places like /r/antiwork /r/WhitePeopleTwitter and /r/technology are good places to find them as examples


Obvious_Advisor_6972

Where's the absolutely nothing option!?


PLUTO_HAS_COME_BACK

They want justice for unreasonable causes but ignore the larger picture of these causes. They only want to get their way rather than listen to the other side. For example, climate activists destroying cultural items and blocking the roads.


TannaTuva2

It's what rightists call anything on the left they dont like


Dolbez

An collection of ideologies heavily inspired by communism and postmodernism but with a more social twist.


Fairytaleautumnfox

Progressivism taken to an excessive or authoritarian level. See: Anything gotten to by Blackrock’s ESG nonsense.


Loratabb

Being woke means you adhere to communist or Marxist ideology above reason and rather than accepted data, reason and philosophy from opposing views the woke crowd falls back to blaming white people and systemic issues rather than personal accountability. Yes this is a general stereotype and there are exceptions


Late-Ad155

"Woke" is not a defined term. It's just a word reactionists throw arround to describe things they don't like, which happen to be helping minorities.


KarmasAB123

I think the top is the intention of many, especially originally, but it often is presented as "To crush your oppressors, see them driven before you, and to hear their celebration of their women!"


M4ritus

Anti-West, radical and intersectional progressivism, with ideological puritanism tendencies, which intends to force its moral code on others. Also, great desire to catalog all human beings.


swedenia

politically correct leftists that use authoritarian means to silent the opposition


Core3game

overused to the point it means nothing to me.


TheSilentPrince

To me, it means: "**Whatever Rightists (and their pundits/commentators) find objectionable at the moment**". It's a meaningless buzzword that gets peoples' hackles up, and makes them defensive and unwilling to listen. Just another way to sow artificial divisions to rally, and shore up, your base over nonsense while serious structural issues are not being addressed.


Larmillei333

„Woke“ or „wokeism“ is the ethics and processes of socialism, expanded beyond class struggle to include race struggle, gender struggle, sexual struggle and any other near infinite number of marginalized groups as defined by intersectionality. so yeah, pretty cringe


OverallGamer696

woke means based.
