If you look at M&H they explained their us of the word, not about slamming progressives but in the context of racism and feminism.
That's right, except there's a huge flaw to her thinking because woke is related to diversity. Her concentration on racism and feminism demonstrates her narcissistic approach to exploiting the world around her and her husband is too daft to understand that. What about those with transgender issues? Neither racist nor feminist so M and H won't be concerned despite acknowledging that it's about injustice in society. Don't believe the hype, these self-appointed champions of woke couldn't give a fiddler's fart about injustice unless it directly affects them.

A big tick Earnie
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

So if you take on one "woke" cause, does that mean you are obliged to take them all on?

That's a pretty big bucket list.

Woke is about being aware. I argue Meghan and her tame aristocrat use woke to further their own ends. They don't care about real injustice in the World. In the interests of balance, Tubby, I would say the new Prince of Wales is the same.

Perhaps they are looking to get their own injustices (read - the Pommy press) sorted out first - after all, that has been the bane of their existence for some time.

Along with, of course, the Buckingham mafia.

And I certainly don't blame them for that.

Yes, it's a personal beef for sure. I'm sure they'll be OK, they're privileged, they have money and there's two more books to write yet. If woke is awareness of injustice then are there more deserving causes that need to be illuminated in the World?
