Just a quote, no comment:
"Woke is now defined in this dictionary as 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),' and identified as U.S. slang."
(https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/woke-meaning-origin)
That's a particularly awful definition, intentionally watered down. I would go with the original, and, IMO, correct definition that centers on "critical consciousness."
For further discourse:
I am reading through. Your link is maby an extension. But not a contradiction to my note. Woke is about awareness.
Awareness of what, specifically?
That's the more important question, since when you dig down into how all those words are defined to be used by the ones who define and use "woke" "correctly" (in their minds), you find that it is just about the ultimate subversion of language as a means of usurping literally everything. It's disgusting.
Defnitly this word has been abused in the last years mostly to creat a monstrous diabolic group. But to have a discussion, one has to define a definition. This is the general problem with language always. That one can only understand the other side, when the used words are describing the same thing.
I am not a fan of the word woke and am not using it usually. I just do not like it, when it is critizised for attributes, that are far away from widly consensed definitions as you brought it up for example.
