Foxy,

The term "woke" has assumed the characteristics of those claiming to be woke which are far from flattering. For this, you need to point the finger at the sanctimonious and intolerant idiots that corrupted the meaning of the word.

Shadow Minister,

I'm not really all that concerned about the word.
I don't use it

Thanks for the responses,

The terms progressive and trendies do not have much meaning these days either and are not used all that much because they mean different things to different people.

So if I am make the statement along the lines of "Well I'm not Woke" am I telling others that I do not demonstrate the behaviours of a woke person?

Isn't this just another form of group virtue signalling which I believe is a woke characteristic?

So is wokeness a scale? If not what is the cut off point?

Just as we have Godwin's Law for internet forum discussions I think we will soon have a similar Law for the term woke.

Foxy,
The more the word is used the more highlighted this insidious mentality will be & countered for the good of all !

Shadow Minister,

Most people think they are rational.
And word choice usage - depends on so
many different things.
