When this term became popularized, initially the meaning of this term was when an individual become more aware of the social injustice. Or basically, any current affairs related like biased, discrimination, or double-standards.
However, as time passed by, people started using this term recklessly, assigning this term to themselves or someone they know to boost their confidence and reassure them that they have the moral high grounds and are fighting for the better world. And sometimes even using it as a way to protect themselves from other people's opinion, by considering the 'outsider' as non-woke. While people that are in line with their belief as woke. Meaning that those 'outsiders' have been brainwash by the society and couldn't see the truth. Thus, filtering everything that the 'outsider' gives regardless whether it is rationale or not.
And as of now, the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion.

3rd paragraph
"Fatphobic?! Misogyny?! What's wrong with preferring a thin woman?! And she is morbidly obese for god sake! Why should I be attracted to her?! Why should I lower myself while she refuse to better herself?! These woke people are a bunch of ridiculous hypocrite!"

2 A term adopted by the far right, fox news, and other cult-like groups from the, generally, better education subset of the U.S. population that considers race and social justice important in order to live in a functioning society.
After initially adopting the term, FoxNews and other anti-american outlets, required an 'undefining' stage. There was also the process of training the right wing to associate the term with disdain. These two steps took place in tandem.
Having the meaning adequately obfuscated and the base on the right successfully programmed the media is now free to use the term however, whenever and a) it's viewer respond initially with excessive salivating but that only lasts a few minutes with the preprogrammed level of outrage.
Lastly, having trained the far-right 'people' successfully, they also able to declare anything as woke which while at the same time signal their base that they are still racists ie. saying they need to eliminate woke in this country, they are actually talking about eliminating minorities esp Black.
" What if I change the meaning of the word Woke in such a way that will enable me to arbitrarily attack insert this week's noun but at the same time, keep saying 'I hate the blacks'. "
Meant to describe how ones Awareness of the vastness of our universe and deep meaning behind every aspect of human life. Has nothing to due with being aware of specifically racism or SJW bullshit. Being Woke is knowing what is actually going on in the world and being able to read between the lines, or even further and reading through the lines.
This is the original Urban Definition of Woke or WOKE back from 2015 when The homies in Long Island New York Witnessed the new use of it. Before the Mainstream took the term and made up a new false definition of the term.

Having an awkward moment, when asked to define WOKE in a snappy 30 second sound-bite?
Try this one:
WOKE = Will Only Kriticize Europe.
(The Kappa comes from Greek Krino, Kritikos, etc.)
"Only" to be taken in two sentences:
ONLY Europe / Christendom to be criticized; no criticism of Islam, Africa, Asia, USA Black culture, etc.
ONLY Criticizing to destroy, no functionality, no forgiveness, no improvement.
See "Chaztopia" and James Lindsay's tag-lines: "Communism doesn't know how." "The ruthless criticism of all that exists."
Likewise, see #Kriticism, which is critical activity existing only in the Woke/Marxist/Tear-it-down mode, not leading to any actual improvements.
"Can you give us a quick definition of WOKE?"
"When someone says they're WOKE, I can pretty much bet they Will Only Kriticize Europe. No criticism of other culture/religions will be permitted; no kind of functionality or improvement will be on the table. Only Kriticize, Kriticize, Kriticize." It's part of af the larger Cultural Marxist program to destroy everything functional and traditional by Kriticism.
"As the protest turned violent the WOKE began to burn parked cars and businesses in protest of having a peaceful dialog with those who tell the truth for fear it would undermine their control of media false narratives"
