CMV: You should avoid the term "woke" because it's a red flag for people that are not familiar with it.

The term "woke" is a bit ambiguous, and it's a word that has a different meaning than what the conservative right uses. While the term woke originally meant being aware of social justice issues, it's not inherently a liberal term, and the conservative right's use of the term is an example of language drift and the degradation of language. <br><br>The term "woke" has been used in the past by people like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X as a way of expressing solidarity for social justice. The conservative right has hijacked it, and they've made it synonymous with left-wing politics and "cultural Marxism". They have done this because it's easier for them to target left-wing policies and politics by associating them with a term that is ambiguous. <br><br>While I am not a fan of the conservative right's use of the term "woke", I do agree that it's a bit ambiguous and can be confusing for people that are not familiar with it. The ambiguity of the term "woke" is a red flag for people that are not familiar with it, because they can easily associate it with the conservative right's use of the term, and thus become biased against social justice causes. I believe that the term "woke" should be used judiciously, and instead of using it, we should use words like "aware", "just", or "equal".
