   Woke is just a borrowed word they used to describe themselves. Its poor grammatically because it comes from African American Vernacular English.
   
   It's a euphemism treadmill type thing, like a euphemism on ramp -- it only began carrying a negative connotation once people realized the ideology was bad.
   
   Now progs are like "I'm not woke! Woke isn't even a thing!" Even though they're the ones who created the term.
   
   The opposite happened with terms like chud, or chad. Both were initially intended to be considered derogatory but gained generally positive connotations, with Chad being particularly funny because it was supposed to be like "Chad stole your girl don't you hate him?" But the online right was like "Chad, you are an example for the rest of us, let us make you our king."
   
   For chud it's funny because the elitist progs want to talk down to people who aren't like them, and the anti-elitists are like "I am everything you say I am and that's great."
   
   That's like a reverse euphemism treadmill where they try to find terms to attack their enemy but their enemy isn't bad so the terms take on a positive connotation.

     The most retarded thing about “woke” is that it isnt even an insult, its just a relabel of SJW and before that tumblr user. It is just mild and not even effective, call them faggots, call them degenerates, call them subhuman scum, you may be in trouble but you at least get the point across.
