Are people who claim not to know what other people mean by “woke” just being disingenuous?

    Woke is a pejorative term used by rightist liberals to cast an imaginary identity onto a cultural out-group. Asking someone to explain what it means when they use it will force them to confront the nature of the word i.e. it is mostly substanceless and is not associated with any real ideology so its definition can't be anything other than "LGBTQ people and people who cast black actors" and thus "wokeness" is benign
