I think woke was a cool word with important meaning for a while, and it has some great historical context behind it that made it work. Reactionary media did what they always do though and I think it's safe to say the word has completely lost all meaning outside of those aforementioned historical contexts. These days everything is "woke" and the new reactionary concept of "woke" is so far from what woke actually means as to render the term useless.

What word are they going to ruin next? How will they ruin it? Am I being the reactionary by thinking that woke has been ruined as a word? Place your bets below

    I'm going to call tankie ruined when it's said during a presidential debate or campaign. Woke has been. I could definitely see this election year being the year tankie makes it into that context
