    But these are not ideologies, they’re made up derogatory terms. It’s like asking what is the difference between a fuckwit and a dickwad.

    No, woke refers to seeing through deceptive propaganda. For example 'millions of americans have woken up to the reality of genocide in gaza'.

    Your example sentence simply uses the english verb “wake” in its original meaning.

    Not the adjective “woke” that this thread is about.

    By 2019, the term was widely being used sarcastically as a pejorative by conservatives, as a way to disparage socially liberal movements as superficial and insincere performative activism.
