It’s cool being a bit older because you can see how the word changed over time.
It means many things, and like many things, context matters.
Being woke just means being aware or finally waking up to certain things.
Being aware of rampant consumerism.
A Christian realizing that their religion was improperly used by colonizers.
Being awake spiritually or achieving a better sense of self/self esteem/cosmologically e.g. “everything is all connected”.
Realizing the piles and piles of lies a particular society or country is built upon etc.
It’s important not to get wrapped up in what the news and whatever is current says, because society changes goal posts.
Like people realizing they actually don’t have to kill themselves for their employers. Hard work doesn’t pay off and is a really convenient lie to abuse workers, for example.
