    It started as “I understand and acknowledge that our society has systemic inequality and I would like to change that”. Perfectly reasonable way of stating it succinctly. As in, “I woke up” to this fact.

    Right-wing lunatics stole the term and make it “anything I don’t like”.

      I know exactly when that became rampant. 2016, basically the year where society had a huge meltdown in the USA.

      Right-wing people stole ‘Woke’ and associated it with SJWs and along with ‘snowflake’ too. To them, being ‘Woke’ meant that you’re aware of their bullshit and the bullshit being forced by the right-wing politics about how incredibly backwards they want to take the country into. Like by allowing racism again, xenophobia and whatnot. So, anything that worked against that, then you’re suddenly ‘Woke’ to them. ‘Snowflake’ is what they called you when you have feelings and emotions, whereas they are the ones trying to be tough and were told to pull things by the bootstraps all their life.

      Ironic how the tables turned on that one where these right-winged people are going into sandwich shops trying to be intimidating with their military cosplay outfits. They clung onto that shit like their security blanket and if you take it away, then they’re the ones crying up rivers over it.
