> What does “woke” mean?
This is a very important question.
Oxford says:
> alert to injustice in society, especially racism.
> "we need to stay angry, and stay woke"
I would love to learn the exact definition which the grandparent uses internally.
Other terms which have one English definition and yet widely disparate meanings depending on political indoctrination in the USA:
- Capitalism
- Communism
- Socialism
- Social Democracy
- I'm sure many others
If we could at least start by having the same meanings for very important words like this, then maybe I would have more hope for US stability.
Hacking this basic issue seems like the most disruptive and positive move possible in US civil discourse.
