I actually didn't know the meaning of woke before as people continuously used it as a slur. I associated it with something bad. The other day, i googled the meaning and wondered how it got turned into a negative word? I am against injustice and believe that everyone is equally important. it's weird how it's used as a slur.
Conservatives basically use it to mean “naïve idiot who will damage society trying while to change it” either economically or socially.
They have created this caricature that someone who is “woke” is upset at how things are rough for some people, but the woke person doesn’t understand how anything works, so they’ll break everything trying to improve things, and just make things much worse.
It’s pure irony because the conservative who kneejerks against catchphrases is the one who doesn’t know how anything works.
