Not what it was.

its woke this and woke that (I'm still not sure what that means)
"Woke" actually means being aware of your social responsibilities. So it's a good thing to be. Quite how and when it became downgraded into a deregatory term I'm not sure, but members of this site and the wider fieldsports community are generally "woke" in so far as they care about things like rural communities, the loss of rural services (post offices, primary schools etc), environmental damage, fly-tipping, rural crime, etc, and are often the first people to volunteer for village events, community tidy-ups, mowing the churchyard grass, etc etc.
So I think it's time we reclaimed "woke".
If my missus would agree to it, I would sell everything and be off tomorrow, but she won't leave her darling grown up children, so I'm f****** too.
Merry Christmas!
And then you would be part of some other country's immigration problem.

I take it to mean being politically liberal regarding perceived racial or social injustices, whether they actually exist or not.

I'm not racist, prejudiced, or antisocial. I have friends with differing ethnic, economical, and social backgrounds, and we all rock along quite happily. That's just basic human decency.

'Woke' is a term derived from African-American English way back in the 1030's to refer to awareness of racial prejudice. Our recent adoption of the term by rabid liberals who love to bask in the reflections of the flames they create is patronising in the extreme, and used almost as a shibboleth to identify them as being part of an exclusive group who are somehow better than those of us who've spent our entire lives being aware that racism and prejudice is a bad thing without needing to be spoonfed the New Order.
