I think that's what bothers me about "woke". It applies a binary state to a considerably more complex concept. It's like being "in shape." It's not a yes or no state. You don't achieve "in shape" and move on to something else. It's an entire lifestyle that requires constant work. The concept of being woke is a convenient cop-out to declare in a single word that yes you agree with all those things all those other people are saying. Also get off my lawn. I'm cranky about fundamental principles I hold dear being distilled down to a slang word so that it fits Twitter culture conversations better. |

As far as I can tell, woke is generally used as an adjective towards others (often pejoratively). Unironically claiming to be "woke" will generally elicit ridicule.
