Wasn't "woke" originally a good term until right wing screechers took it over at an insult? They do that a lot, every time some positive phrase or idea starts to gain traction. Seems intentional.

Poisoning a word that means "not ignorant of the systems of oppression in the world" sounds like a great game plan for the oppressor.
