"Woke" has had many meanings over the years. Originally it was used as "watch out for racist police" in the black community.

Then it was picked up by right wing people, and it was given the meaning of "anti-racism" and being woke was being against racism. Being against woke became a way to say anti-anti-racism, so being pro-racism without explicitly saying so.

After that, more meaning was tacked on. It started being used for all kinds of LGBTQ+ stuff. Then it was also associated with anything leftist and eventually landed on "anything I don't like".

So yeah, it can now just as well being redefined as human rights, as right now anti-woke is just repressing other people's rights.

Spot on. It's a placeholder word for whatever vile shit they don't want to say out loud. Same as DEI, which seems to be taking over more and more.
