If anyone on the right wants to know what woke is:

It's in the dictionary ....

woke | wəʊk |
verb
past of wake1.
adjective (woker, wokest) sometimes derogatory
alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination: he's an activist and very woke | woke culture has moved into mainstream journalism | my neighbourhood is a very woke area | we need to stay angry, and stay woke.

Yes but the lady who wrote a book about it does not know that. Nor do 90% on the right.

Somewhat funny that to the right the biggest insult they have is to accuse people of being aware of social injustice.

Is that really the best they have?

The biggest “threat” to Western civilisation is the demeaning of truth and the “smearing of people based upon their objective characteristics” like race, gender or sexual orientation, says the University of Austin Founding Fellow Peter Boghossian.

In a word - NewSpeak. Deforming then controlling language is deforming and controlling thought.

You are a Failure.

2 years ago you didn't even know that you needed to be told what a woman is.

I have only been ignoring you on this for around 7 months.

It makes zero sense, even to you, ducky: opposing wokery is more woke than the woke. No is more yes than yes. That is just simply idiotic. So you.
