    Wasn't "woke" a term used by POC folks originally to describe people who pretended to be in solidarity with the POC community and radical for clout/attention and then it got appropriated by twitter. Because if it is then lmao

      I saw woke going from sincere -> ironic -> sincere, but there's every possibility there was another cycle before I was aware of it.
