Woke v. Anti-Woke

Woke is a silly term. Grammatically it just doesn’t sound right. “I am woke,” or “He is not woke” sounds like you should be saying ‘awake’ but you’re trying to be slangy and hip.
Still, it is a common term and has taken on a meaning of its own, and it seems as if we’re all being forced to pick a side.
On the one hand, the ranks of the ‘woke’ (Good lord, that even looks stupid when I write it) include people who are obsessed with identity politics and prefer arguing about semantics and getting status points for being on the currently popular side of issues (virtue signalling) than they are about fighting for real change.
On the other hand, the ranks of the ‘anti-woke’ are dominated by racist sociopaths who love sexism, large vehicles which put massive amounts of carbon into the air, and guns. Lots and lots of guns. They are flag-waving, bible-thumping, anti-science whackadoodles and they love movies where the rogue cop ignores all the rules and tortures confessions out of drug dealing terrorists who kidnap politicians’ daughters.
So, if I were forced to make a choice, I’d side with the ‘woke.’
But, here’s the deal. We are not forced to make a choice. We can be ‘a bit woke,’ ‘not very woke,’ ‘woke in some ways but not in others,’ or ‘what the hell do you even mean by that?’
In any event, I hope this stupid word passes out of the public consciousness sometime soon.
