      I believe that woke was defined in a court setting as something that acknowledges there are inequalities in society. Something to that effect.

        That’s the actual original definition, which lasted all but five minutes in the left wing social zeitgeist before being co-opted by right wing lunatics to essentially be a catch-all phrase for “anything I don’t like”. It’s a convenient substitute for their old greatest hits album - “Socialism/Communism”, which was starting to get a little tired now that the cold war has been over for over two decades.
