Define woke for me kind sir. It seems to be whatever the user wants it to be whenever the user feels like being a whiney little snowflake bitch.
Anyone I've ever seen use the term woke in the pejorative is a ****ing clown.

SMH, that’s culture war for you. It seems anyway. It’s a shame which side of woke/anti woke is the determinant for one’s choice of diet.
Then again, you don’t want to be caught in public, wearing that red hat, and eating black bean burgers.

This was well over 10 years ago.
My wife worked with a woman who decided to cook a special dinner for her husband. She made a quiche.
Her husband LOVED it! Told her several times how good it was and how much he appreciated it. He loved it so much that the next day at work he told several of his coworkers about the wonderful dinner his wife made for him. I guess he told one too many coworkers because one laughed out loud and told him about the book "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" and then proceeded to taunt him about how much he liked the quiche.
This guy went home just stewing. As soon as his wife asked what was wrong he blew up on her and told her how humiliating it was that she fed him quiche knowing how emasculating it was for him to eat it. Then he wouldn't talk to her for the next few days.
I 1000% guarantee you this guy is now a Trump voter who goes around calling anything he doesn't like "woke."

i'd have thought in the most simple definition it would be having an obsession with modern political correctness well above and beyond reason or merit to the point that it defies common sense

I do think the more absurd the anti-woke stance becomes, the sooner it will run out of steam. Which is not to say every “Woke” position knows no excess whatsoever, that can be called into question. But maybe we’re engaged in a conflict to determine an answer to the question: “What is a true American?” Be interesting to see where this stands in 20 years, 50 years. I think there’s a real world out there that will seriously impede much of the anti-woke’s vision of an ideal “true American” and ideal America from becoming the future they envision. The political movement represented by Christian nationalism supports anti-woke, and its growth may make this worse then it has to be. Worse than the Scopes monkey trial for sure, lol…

You used the golden comparison. Political correctness has no actual meaning. It was used in the 90s exactly the way wokeness is used now. It has no real meaning, just acts as a rallying cry for people who want to hate **** without criticism.

I'm pretty sure it originally meant "aware".

Sure, and then it got the Trump treatment just like fake news did. Now it is a pejorative term. Being woke, which actually means social awareness, understanding of systematic social injustice, is associated with...

i'm sure you can think of several examples.
If I could, I would not have asked.

i just don't care tbh the dude just asked for what was considered the definition of the modern "woke" thing that gets tossed about. Couldn't care less, not a term i use
