I still don’t underatand how woke is perceived as bad. To me, out of any context woke means you’re waking up, leaving the dream behind and facing reality. Like in the Matrix (except IRL the red pill keeps you in the dream). I just can’t understand how they managed to turn woke negatively. What’s the alternative sleepy? Aren’t the the same people who say wake up sheeple?
It's not about the etymology of the word, it's about how people use it on Twitter. Twitter pits obnoxious assholes against each other and gives their pissing contests an audience. These people pick vaguely defined words to rally around and against, and define them in whatever way is most convenient to them in the moment.

Yes, but they have a different set of conspiracies that a different set of authorities are supposedly persecuting them with that everyone who doesn't uncritically accept can be dismissed as unaware and stupid outsiders. Totally different thing.
Its doing more than implying, its quite literally Karl Marx holding a Hammer and Sickle lmao. Any Socialism worth a damn will eventually lead to Communism which is what our society WILL eventually evolve into if we don't go extinct first.
