Woke is a state of mind where you find oppression in everything except your own beliefs and actions.

Example: Diversity In theory, it is framed as including mamy cultures, sexes, etc.. In practice, it amounts to being as few of straight, white, men as possible. By definition, this oppresses people that fit that description.

Wokeness is when we force an entire society to pretend that biological differences between sexes are not real. Is mutilating children and force people to consider it a virtue.

Is telling straight white men to not critique people of color when they do mistakes (this one was a real segment of the work sensitivity training last year).

Is claiming racism is bad while discriminating based on race.

Is claiming that somehow words are violence but violence is just starting a conversation.

Is saying that 25% of homeless people are women and that is not acceptable.

Is saying that you are the rebels when you have the support of every institution in the modern world.

"Woke" is the self-chosen moniker of the progressive. It is a stand in for "enlightened" and was co-opted from Black Twitter where it was used commonly after pointing out some kind of societal ill that affected blacks and they'd end their usually racist and paranoid screed with "stay woke!" as a battle-cry to their equally racist and paranoid followers. The call was to "keep noticing these things and be angry."

This fit perfectly with the wider Leftist push to force Marxism through Critical Theory, and they started using "stay woke" in their own racist screeds (though they weren't paranoid, they were actively fomenting revolution with their own fist-raised call to arms).

Due to over-use, its usage bled out until its meaning became completely generic. "Woke" now just means "Democrat," though the connotation tends to be the most aggressively insane and unreasonable positions of Democrats which by any other label would be Sovietism.

"Woke" became more widely used as criticism shortly after self-described wokesters started gaining prominence in academia, politics, and popular culture. Just like the term Social Justice Warrior before it, they abandoned their self-chosen label as soon as it became widely known. This is because they subscribe to Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and refuse accurate terminology that can allow their enemy to focus on them and their actions.

Modern "Woke" equivalent terms for its current common usage: Radical, Leftist, Marxist, Communist, Racist.

What the "Woke" originally would have chosen for themselves: Progressive, Revolutionary, Enlightened.

Really, its all the same, and hasn't moved much from its original use, except the Black Twitter guys were usually pointing out failed policies in places like NYC that were wrecking their future, meaning at its core, it was more often than not anti-Democrat ranting. Somewhat ironic.

Woke is the idea that you have awakened to special transcendental truths about certain demographic lines that contradict the observable reality in front of you. And then choosing to act like those imaginary revelations mean more than reality so you can pretend you're a chosen messiah instead of crazy loon.

Wokeness is saying its someone else’s fault that you have problems.

I can easily define woke. Woke is believing you've awakened to some grand truth of the world that secretly some nebulous group is acting against you and if not for them you'd have achieved peace and perfection. It is the Marxist paradigm of oppressors and the oppressed. It is today rooted in queerness and child molestation more often than not and the oppressor is widely attributed to be men, white people, and Christians and any combination of the 3.

Ultimately a rejection of western values derived from Christianity.

Woke is political correctness for political correctness' sake.

Right-wing author Bethany Mandel

Literally who? Regardless, one momentary slipup from some random person certainly doesn't represent me, Republicans, right-wingers, conservatives, or any other group or individual these libs want to smear.

Woke is the parasitic attachment and prioritization of liberal ideals, standards, worldviews, and agendas to media, institutions, groups, or individuals, either voluntarily, by association, or by assimilation.

Wokeness encompasses many things, but at the root of it, is the leftwing version of identity politics and racism. Global authoritarian Collectivist style. Wokeness is Critical Race Theory, black-washing and race-swapping. Affirmative action and hires. Diversity, inclusion, and equity. Political Correctness. Double-speak and wrongthink. Revisionist history. etc. In a nutshell.

I'm not a particular fan of the Rightwing version either..

She went on to answer the question a few seconds later.

It's not an easy question to answer for most people, because for most people, "woke" just means "obnoxious aggressive left wing activism".

"Woke" is a self-referential terms that young aggressive left wing activists started calling themselves, which was then adopted by the Right. "Wokeness" is basically just a newer, more aggressive form of intersectionality, aka identity politics. However, some "wokes" refer to it as a general and universal acceptance of all left wing delusions. Being "woke" is being a left wing NPC.

The point of this is to prevent themselves getting Alinsky'd: If woke zealots and their friends can lie and dissemble enough to prevent themselves being identified their own work becomes much easier. (specifically, rule 13: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." - they're desperately trying to stop becoming a named thing, because like all previous leftie experiments, leftie practice is so contemptible that they burn through euphemisms faster than they can spin them up)

This also shows that they know they're not "the resistance" or anything like it. If they're in a position to get Alinsky'd, they are the establishment, but that's merely one fact among many that they hate.

Woke (adj.): A person or institution that endorses and/or reinforces by custom or law the neo-Marxist concepts of intersectional oppression, including "systemic/institutional racism" and "trans/homophobia."

I don't think this is some 5D chess Jewish conspiracy theory to make the anti-woke look bad. I think it has more to do with Jews like her being in an awkward position. "Wokeness" is fundamentally anti-white which is something Jews will have a testy relationship with discussing.
