How did you know this was posted by a woman? The other one I posted next to it was as well. They were both older types who seemed to think they were very kind.

Woke used to be a term that liberals used to flatter each other for being in lockstep with leftism. Just like SJW was.

But since leftism is retarded and evil, that word got made into a slur. So they move on and change terms, because they really want some special word they can call each other to heap on the mental reinforcement to silence the shrieks of what's left of their souls.

It actually was, somewhat briefly at least, used in conspiracy theory circles as a term to refer to those who were aware of the shit going on. Not especially wacky conspiracy theory stuff either, mostly relatable to the shit that we've been talking about here and the original KIA subreddits for years.

If I recall, the more recent usage draws from wacky black people spouting off nonsense about how "woke" they were. I forget most of the context.

Trump was even selling "Woke" hats for a while.

Aye. It popped up fairly frequently in r/conspiracy back around 2014-2016 if I recall, so that would fit the timeline.

It actually seems to have originated with some kind of more-extremist offshoot of Black Panther/Nation of Islam ideology in the form of a black supremacist cult that was around in the 1970s. Parcast Cults has an episode about it.

To be fair, I don't think most people know how to use semicolons.

Wait so are they re-embracing “woke” as a term for themselves? Because after using it as a positive for ten years or so up to 2021, they suddenly dropped it so they could pretend it was only an insult that right wingers used against them.

It was an older woman, I doubt she has kept up.

No it doesn't, moron. If it did, you would say "awake." Woke is a past tense verb, and if you'd graduated sixth grade, you would know that.

"Woke" was used because "Redpilled", which means the exact same thing socially, had been associated with people they didn't like, so they insisted on not using the word. That's the entire history and important origins of the term "woke".
