I think this could be said about many people despite being divided by politics.

I think this is much more dangerous than Woke (in the sense of Mystic using it not as a descriptor but rather as a pejorative?). The woke level 9 I see as a danger (and different kettle of fish than how Mystic is using it)
A person infiltrated a certain church and reports on the sheer insanity and hate being promoted there
And she also visited CPAC 2024. More bonkers danger
These are DANGEROUS times in USA

The GOP portion of that party died a while ago.
Those are all good things but not what woke is. I know you didn’t come up with the above list, so I feel I can say it’s (not your fault - I can see the appeal of it) that it’s a very whitewashed obscurity of what woke means. There’s more history and political depth to it that’s being dismissed in little inspirational pictures like this.
It’s about understanding and pushing back against oppression and the roots of oppression. Originally coined by black Americans then adopted by other marginalized groups - who, I think rightly, get offended by seeing it taken out of its context and watered down. Unfortunately, usually by white liberals who are not in touch with experiences of those who are disadvantaged and oppressed - and therefore not woke. Again, this is not personal against you for posting that. It’s a mostly a good list but it’s not the meaning of woke and there shouldn’t be an open licence for the mainstream to reinterpret it.
A couple of problems:
People who can’t read can be woke. If it’s because of systemic injustice and they understand that even at a basic level - they are probably more woke than many English Lit scholars. It has nothing to do with being an intellectual.
Another thing that is black and white is that systemic injustice is real and so is privelege. Seeing things in black and white by taking a definitive stand against oppression is necessary to be woke. But even I wouldn’t call myself woke because I do not feel it’s my place to use that word to define myself, as a white woman who may be poor now but grew up in mostly white, middle class suburbia. Even as a disabled person.
It kind of reads like something that would be posted on an elementary school class bulletin board - at a predominantly white middle class school. It reinforces white middle class values without the necessary critical lens to actually be woke. It’s just a list about how to be nice and respectable.
I’m critiquing the list, not you. I just cringe a bit with these kinds of memes.

Being woke means truly understanding how the deck is stacked against marginalized groups of people, how that came to be, divesting oneself from being part of it as much as possible - taking responsibility for the ways in which we’re part of the problem - and trying to do something about it. I don’t think it’s easy.
This man is one of the wokest people who ever lived. He’s the definition of woke as far as I can tell.
He was so woke he was a prophet. Send the bills to Elon:
I don’t know anyone in daily life who truly meets the definition.

it is quite clear to me that "WOKE" is that thin line that falls between the right and the left ... each side declaring that their opponent is opposed to one or the other taking the avarice position ... thus the idea of mammon is carried by each of the twinned positions. It is raugh (like a carpet) to be a mean or medium in the hump that we need to get over ... para gone wild? Maybe poltergeist ... schists ... some say the vice Eire (vice 'r/vicar)is overwhelming in demanding folk ...
Are there holes in the carpet for drop-out's in the system of avarice? Avarice being defined as a person searching power and money (those two being rather comparative belief systems). Excerpts of the populace from both sides seem addicted to brute es que behavior disorders! Then there are better parts that see the danger in great power and the divining of a social order into breaking up the home ... divisive ... but difficult for some to see if they can't gather essence of understanding the rationale, or lack of it ... such is lost in logos ... that's the word! Ugh; and on it goes as powers in heaven needed a place to dump it ... thus the sacred phoebe ... a vast unknown! Maybe a Sar Chasm ... it has no bottom end! Enigma ...of the fey portions ... don't mention it ... it may be a psi chi (ΨΧ) paradox ... odd enough X is equivalent to Ξ as an Aye well laid out in the san ... with parenthesis ... it is just an icon that depends much on how one meditates upon the objective image ... trans meditation being said to be evil by some states and mental flaw! A crack for some elimination? Illuminated on oppression's power? Juici 'd for all its got! Then something is lost and Eeyore to blame ... mulish!
Consider the opposition when drifting off the line of transpiration ... reverse osmosis? The ROe virtue is what the trump card fears ... insecure in his elimination process ... Roscoe begins to make sense ... understanding the roué's ... natural functions? Passing facts to the stunned and shocked with info, data, intelligent substance ... it may not be as bright as it appears ... incarnate Eire ... MS Tap to learn from ... mist hammered in ... volatile!
There is thin space for such dreams of perfection in an imperfect Wahl ... all white ... no shades! Blank slates ...

I rethought that middle position when I realized how many people are not even opposed to genocide in “polite” Canadian society. That seems to me to be very clearly something to be opposed to, no argument. I can’t agree to disagree. I disagree 100%. And I’ll swear if I have to. I don’t usually. Manners are not more important though. …we have MAiD now…but even legislated poverty is genocide, really. Just slower. But it’s deliberate and it kills people.
Thus the middle is blown out ... thoughtless Core? Empty shells ... soft tissue disorder ... some times caused by rainbow herbi sides ... agent purple, etc. Pyrophos ... there are other names for noxious carriers ... unspeakable! Therein the enigma ... twinned ... divine syndrome? Her bis Ides ... in the wind ... Mariah ... that's the whether, orn aught ... verily uncertain ic'n!

Maybe, instead of a single word that is politically loaded, we need a slogan for people like me. Aware, care, dare, and share.
Charon is said to be a blossoming concept ... but alas not in reality ... so we're shafted ... that's developed avarice! Imagine the power thereof; against the trending power ... deficient of the power of imbedded word ... that' debe ath ought! A good rodding can clear the Canon ... swab!!!

I agree with you @Kimmio Laughterlove. I chose that name only because that word was being used as an insult. It was a simplistic response to a simplistic taunt.
So how has tRump been responding to the SOTU address last night?

Yes, the word Woke can be used in so many different ways (as I showed on Bette's old thread...I think I found at least 8 different usages?)
I also like Rump
Rump roast mmm mmm mmm

Is simplistic a grand objective ... given how much depth is hidden if you take simple faith for what's on the surface?
How then is simple a grand gift other than meaning you have a great deal of complexity to assimilate? Many men of the fabric have told me to keep it simple but haven't designated what's "what!" Maybe a literary Gei St! One of the 4 Puffs ...

This is an excellent article about the focus of the election race.
The Much Vaunted Guardrails are Failing
The Much Vaunted Guardrails are Failing
The very context of this article reminds me of one of FDR's quotes about an America that didn't look after its disadvantaged as well as the advantaged would experience a wedge in its structure. Then we consider the attitude of the well off and intentioned to win ... they threaten to destroy the whole item if they can't have it their way! Putin has said as much with hi nuclear fist!
Does he have friends in the west? Dear Me is ... that all there is?
Mike Pence has spoken out (finally) on Fox News that he will not endorse Trump or vote for him because he will not endorse anyone that does not defend the constitution.
He also said he will not be voting for Biden because he (Pence) is still a republican.
This is unusual that a former vice president does not support the president he once worked with....but at least he came forward and said it....better late than never.
