Coordinate terms: politically correct (chiefly derogatory), right-on (British). Usage notes:
While its predecessor politically correct was chiefly derogatory, woke (like liberal) can have positive or negative connotations depending on speaker and audience. In particular, some derogatory uses of woke refer to people who would self-identify as woke.: If You're Woke You Dig It [title].
But the cultural conflict between these two post-revolutionary styles – between frat guys and feminist bluestockings, Gamergaters and the diversity police, alt-right provocateurs and "woke" dudebros, the mouthbreathers who poured hate on the all-female "Ghostbusters" and the tastemakers who pretended it was good – is likely here to stay.
Like, if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right or used the wrong verb, then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself, cause, "Man, you see how woke I was, I called you out." That's not activism. That's not bringing about change.
If this were actually true, you would expect real traction for the wokest candidates in the Democratic presidential race. But it's been just the opposite. The woke candidates have been the weakest, electorally speaking, and the defining attribute of the Democratic primary has been a preoccupation with the voters that put Trump in the White House.  wiktionary.org Alexander Demidov) |
