it’s not that difficult to figure out from first principles, being “asleep” is a pretty old way of saying someone is unaware of something, and “woke” is obviously like “i just woke up”, so presumably “being woke” is the opposite of “being asleep”.
Its like being outdone by a famous fool. Like if Mr. Bean built a better rocket on accident and now you, the rocket engineer, are upset this idiot did better than you.
Isn’t it kinda fun how fast language changes? This would be incomprehensible just fifteen years ago.
The only incomprehensible part would have been “da binki twins” and that’s still incomprehensible right now
I don’t have a precise bead on when woke entered my lexicon, but it wasn’t really a thing until it became a rhetorical cudgel for the far right.
It was a thing way before the right realized it was a useful scare tactic, but less well known.
