If you want a good laugh, ask a boomer what woke means, they have no idea

"Is the woke in the room with us right now?"

"Point on this dolly where the woke hurt you."

"Point on the gender neutral dolly where the woke hurt you"

it’s understandable that they don’t

If you ask a millennial then woke is a sarcastic term for someone who cares about fake social issues: like needing to stop gay marriage for society to exist

If you ask a zoomer then woke is a non-sarcastic term for someone who cares about real social issues: like needing to permit gay marriage so people can be equal

Obviously the zoomers are wrong about the term because they came after but enough of them use the term that way that it is no longer wrong

I'm a millennial, woke to me has always meant having your eyes open to see the bullshit in front of you.
