‘Woke’ has become the successor to such pejoratives as ‘politically correct’ or ‘social justice warrior’. But with far greater usage options, and therefore even more meaninglessness.
I think “woke” is just a badge people on the right of society like to apply to things they don’t like. Those things are generally (but not always) from a viewpoint more left leaning than theirs. It’s used in the same way as declaring anything that’s more right-wing than you like as “fascist”.
