Here is an example of how dangerous racism and bigotry can be in this age of social media and cellphones. It can cost people their businesses and jobs and must be suppressed, they want freedom, they can't quite put their finger on what they want to be free, except to own weapons without restrictions and rage against "wokeness". The woke are those who call them out for being idiots and bigots, who along with those they fear and hate, are the source of their discontent. It basically amounts to; they want to hurt other people's feelings for no good reason and resent it when people hurt their feelings. They are now being held accountable for their private civil war by technology mostly, cellphones and the documentation and archiving the internet provides. Woke is the new liberal, a term which seems to be going out of fashion on the right, since it means free, which is opposite of fascist authoritarianism that they prefer.
What does "woke" mean? As far as I can see, it means a compassionate, considerate and prosocial liberal outlook, mind your own business about things that are none of them and become part of a normal caring sharing human community. All people are human beings deserving equal rights and dignity only those who are blinded by hate and fear can't see that. The weak minded and hateful don't make up a majority of any country, so why should they run one, most often into the ground.
