It just seems very broad since people use it many ways “get woke” vs “the woke mob.” At least in the US it is used by people in both good and bad ways.
Huh, I have never hear anyone using "Woke" in a good way, but okey.
I haven't either. Maybe it's because I don't use any social media but Lemmy
All of those uses are red flags, or at least would be over here.
The word "woke" is just a right-wing dog whistle, hence why it's a red flag when somebody uses it except for the context of talking about these people.
