I love how the term “woke” went from an in-group signifier among (I believe) Black Americans to a general term meaning “I am aware of social injustices” to a milquetoast liberal “I’m here with you [insert minority group]” to a misappropriated and misunderstood term used by right-wingers who think that caring about other people is for libcuck soyboys.
@yassie_j at one point it was a black folktale about having their melanin stolen. then it was about being aware of the financial industrial complex's control of the state and other crimes.

@icedquinn @yassie_j at some point (~2016?) it was also used to make fun of the "wake up sheeple" conspiracy nuts, though I'm not sure where it fits in the progression or if it's completely independent.
