In this sense, Woke is the opposite of apathy. The term came into popular awareness via the BLM movement. It was directed towards fostering awareness that the status quo was based in passivity and apathy. Had the term not been associated with BLM there would be little, if any, real controversy. Most of the activist movements, including Trumpism and the Tea Party, have a similar basic awareness concept. When it becomes too easily triggered or exaggerated, as in many of the extremist conspiracy theories, it becomes a negative and self-destructive concept...not to be taken seriously.
