One is an attempt at a lexical definition, the other a judgment of it, those are different things, but you are definitely clearing something up here, because what I feel like I’m getting at is that there is one definition that is actually solid and makes sense- being socially aware, being aware of systemic racial and social injustice in general, and another where “being woke” is performative and is just being obstinate about everything and anything and demanding justice for unspecified grievances that one might not even have legitimate claims to.

I don’t know if that makes sense to you but I think it’s kind of the core of the matter, really.
