The response nails the current meaning of “woke” but it’s actually much deeper than that.
The term was first used over 100 years ago during civil rights movements. When black people were fighting for their rights and political representation. It didn’t really expand to cover all minorities, LGBTQ, and women until the 2000s.
So being anti-woke is really just saying you’re a racist, sexist, homophobic piece of shit.

I heard that word in my community and it always meant “stay aware.” Erykah Badu even has a song that says something like “if you want it you can have it BUT STAY WOKE.” Pursue your dreams but STAY AWARE that people will try to destroy you, take your success away. I heard that until 2018-ish????? All of a sudden Marvel/Disney movies were labeled “woke.” Im like…y’all know what that means…right????

It’s so sad that it’s become a negative term as I’d suggest wokeness primarily means “showing empathy and kindness towards others” which I’m pretty sure it’s a fairly important part of that religion thing right wingers constantly use to justify their most appalling actions

We’ve been through something similar here where I live, with the word “Lacre”, which previously meant similar to “slay queen”, when you owned someone, usually in the social and political fields. They started calling social activist “lacradores” as a form of derogatory sarcasm and it became a slur. It’s so funny the right strategy of overusing shit until that narrative becomes the truth (see overused Pepe the frog)

My favorite irony about it is that the word literally comes from the idea that hatred is something you are either brainwashed into or default to because you are blinded by your own ignorance around how systemic oppression works. In other words, you are asleep to the reality of the world and it isn’t until you learn about others experiences (LGBTQ, other races, other class struggles, other countries etc.) that you “wake up” to the real world.
When you refuse to educate yourself and use woke as a slur you’re admitting you’re still choosing to live in comfortable ignorance. It’s such an ironic self-own that is so on the nose it’s nearly cringe.

The problem with WOKE is that y’all never rest, and you need to sleep on some shit.
Just like sleep deprivation, staying “woke” for too long leads to hallucinations and delusional thoughts. A disconnection from reality. You see and hear things that aren’t really there. In the case of woke, what happens is your start attributing motives that aren’t really there. You see racism in everything. Everyone is a bigot or a phobe of some sort.
I used to have a friend who got into meth, and one morning he told me that the cops had surrounded the house… But that wasn’t true. There were no police anywhere .. just paranoid delusions from staying awake too long. It’s kinda the same thing as being “woke.” He saw police where there were none… Wokied see racism, homophobia, etc where there really is none.
You can be aware of injustices and overall shitty things, but if you stay “woke” too long, you start looking through closets, under the bed .. you start accusing people of motives, and generally acting crazy.
Too much social activism, staying “woke,” makes people act like insane drug addicts. It’s annoying and in some cases dangerous to everyone else. Just like a meth head thinks the world is out to get them, the wokies act the same. They have these delusions that the world is out to get them, that the cops are right outside. And it doesn’t help that many of the people who act this way are in fact on some sort of drug. Prescription medications are drugs and can often have severe side effects. So you take depression, anxiety, medication/drug use and a hyperfixation on all sorts of social issues, and all off a sudden it seems like a real good idea to cut your own hair, and record yourself crying on the internet .
And that’s what people associate with being “woke.” The paranoid, delusional weirdos with awful haircuts who upload TikToks of themselves crying about nonsense.
If you have a social issue you want to help with, cool. But shaving one side of your head, dying the rest a shade of slime green, crying and yelling at everyone around you about how racist and xenophobic they are isn’t gonna help anyone. That’s what people mean when they talk about “woke.” Annoying weirdos who shouldnt have access to scissors.
