Still is if you aren't a twat
Nowadays I prefer the term "correct".
I honestly don't see people using "woke" positively these days.
That’s because most of us just call it what it is: empathy.
But they’re trying to make that a pejorative too now.
well.. sure yeah. My point still stands about "woke" though.
