Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
Both terms are clearly defined and people choose to use them wrong, like you did with your examples.
People where always upset with the level of "wokeness" in Star Trek. The difference being that less where aware of it and if you wanted to complain you had to physically write a letter, go down to the post office, buy some stamps, and mail it in. Today you can just tweet some bullshit from your couch.
Those of us who can remember the UseNet, AOL and BBS rants against LaForge, Sisko & Janeway can vouch that it was no less toxic in the late 1980s and 90s. It was just less of a mass conversation.
The point I was making there is no set definition for woke. And I probably shouldn't have brought up fascism as a term, because while it's a similar issue, it's just not an argument to make. (For the record, fascism does not refer to 1930s Italy anymore, it's evolved overtime)
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Woke has been used this way for decades and anyone using it differently is using it incorrectly.
Language evolves. Just ask anyone with a they/them pronoun.
Woke didn't evolve, it was highjacked and purposely used incorrectly to mock.
Stay woke dude!
