Back in the day woke was used to describe people that pretend to care about issues without any understanding of it

Like “we have to use clean coal to fight climate change” would have been considered woke

The term was sarcastic, no idea when it became mainstream

Fake news

Woke

Black lives matter

Antifa

Socialism

Communism

Prolife

Etc

Etc
