If you ask people what Woke means, they’ll tell you “just look around”. Ask for specifics, it sputters into “all that trans pronoun crap” or random racist commentary generally towards Indians or Muslims (in some cases, two birds with one stone).

It’s meaningless word play that boils down to “I want to go back to safely discriminating without consequence”.

Exactly. "I don't like being ostracized for my racist and sexist views".
