Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary's definition, woke means 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)', but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don't recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact. Laurence Fox nailed his colours to the latter mast this weekend, doubling down on his defence of the privileged white male on last week's Question Time to a Sunday Times article under the banner 'Why I won't date 'woke' women'. Toby Young piled in, applauding how Fox was 'terrorising the Wokerati', while the Sun last weekend branded Harry and Meghan 'the oppressive King and Queen of Woke'." https://www.theguardian.com/society/shortcuts/2020/jan/21/how-the-word-woke-was-weaponised-by-the-right #PoliticallyCorrectPC #IRLActorLaurenceFox #NMUKBBCQTQuestionTime #BrandNewsCorpUKTheTimes #IRLJournalistTobyYoungAKAToadmeister #TauntWokerati #BrandNewsCorpUKTheSun #IRLFamilyRoyalUKHRHPrinceHarry #IRLFamilyRoyalUKHRHMeghanMarkle
