What is woke?

What is woke, anyway? For the average pundit, it’s the pretension to a superior wisdom or a more fervent dedication in regard to racial and sexual justice. About economic equality and procedural democracy, woke doesn’t have much to say, but about perceived disrespect in matters of ethnicity or gender, it can’t say enough. An abundance of zeal and a lack of proportion have made woke—or identity politics, a roughly equivalent term—something between a laughingstock and a bugbear among the American public at large.

Musa al-Gharbi's new book traces the rise of a new "woke" elite. His diagnosis minimizes the power of genuine elites: plutocrats.

Woke is lost. Most on left do not support this stuff.
 
"About economic equality and procedural democracy, woke doesn’t have much to say,"

Wokeness, as it relates to economic equality, says that any/all inequality is due to racism, bigotry, misogyny, etc.
 
Social justice? ... that used to be called 'lynching'. The milder form was 'tar and feathering'.
