Fascinating. I thought it referred to having awoken from a "false consciousness" and being able to see the hidden machinations of intersectional power structures. That's too bad that the term was co-opted.

You were correct. We used "woke" to mean become aware of the 9/11 lies and beyond with their full spectrum dominance - the hidden machinations. We'd all share stories of how we got woke to 9/11.

I was very pissed it was getting coopted - but now I've come around to appreciate that now being woke is a joke. And of course more people are aware than ever before.
