    How long do you think the word woke, with any of the definitions (specifically the original), has been in use?

      I do not know. I first heard the term back around 2019 I believe and I always used an “urban dictonary” definition.

          Woke
          
          Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.
          
          My son's woke kindergarten teacher taught him that he's actually a girl because he played with dolls.
