making up history now. They forget that they used it to describe themselves, then started overloading the word to stand for every political action they wanted to accomplish....and as that jumped the shark, normal people simply use it to hang around their neck like the label they wanted.
"Opponents of progressive social movements often use the term mockingly or sarcastically,[4][48] implying that "wokeness" is an insincere form of performative activism.[46][4] Such critics often believe that movements such as Black Lives Matter exaggerate the extent of social problems.[48] Linguist and social critic John McWhorter argues that the history of woke is similar to that of politically correct, another term once used self-descriptively by the left which was appropriated by the right as an insult, in a process similar to the euphemism treadmill.[2]"
And now THINKINGTIGER believes it has no meaning. Gaslight
