The precise definition of the pejorative 'woke' can be debated, but I think we all can agree that "we know it when we see it". And it is far from useless. IMO

The precise definition of the pejorative 'woke' can be debated, but I think we all can agree that "we know it when we see it".
And it is far from useless. IMO it accurately labels people who are either: 1. Taking liberal talking points to extremes for the sole purpose of attention seeking or 2. Naive, coming of age youth bumping against reality for the first time in their lives and use the distraction of politics and remote injustices to avoid confronting the "hard work" which will be required to thrive in the adult world.
