I like my definition of "woke" better.



Using your definition, most people who use the term "woke" as an insult are in fact super woke themselves.


Here's an example where everyone involved seems to be employing woke thinking, from opposite political angles:

Not arguing about facts and opinions, just about who was more "harmed" by the other parties speech. Not that the arguments presented are dumb and ridiculous, or even ridiculing a person for holding those views. But an attempt to litigate harms based on their individual identities.

(The label "white panther" I find pretty funny and a good example of battling bad speech with counter speech.)


Sure.
