If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

The concept is good - the need to be aware of and avoid possible
prejudice and discrimination against people who are different from us in
terms of race, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc.

But, in many cases, the execution of the concept is way OTT by assuming
that people will be offended when they are not and by seeking to destroy
many aspects of our cultural heritage.

And any instance of this - real or imagined - is hyped by the largely
reactionary meja. Who, of course, want the right to offend absolutely
anyone, if it makes them money.

Fail. There is no us or them, unless one happens to be one of them.

my concept is sleep .........

Well its come to mean something wider and applied to many unrepresented
groups, since these folk feel that the world is against them because they
are different.

Always interesting to replace 'woke' with a word like 'decent' or
'decency'. The result can be revealing. A bit like 'virtue signalling'
the right wing hate virtue of any kind and therefore any expression of
compassion, care or decency has to be denounced as hypocrisy - 'It's
just a signal, you are really selfish immoral creeps just like us!'

"Decent" is as subjective as "woke". So is "virtue": the "signalling"
bit just means that you want to show off your virtue, like
ostentatiously giving to charity.

I know what the words mean. I was observing that the right wing try to
discredit genuine concerns of decent people with labels like 'woke' and
virtue signalling'. They say 'you don't really care about other people,
you just pretend, because you think it makes you look good' It's a lie,
a vacuous, nasty, knee jerk response. More right wing claptrap.

It's used by those who don't think decent people exist. While thinking
everything they do themselves is decent and honourable.

OK but the problem with all well meaning ideas is that they are so busy
trying not to offend people they treat them like idiots.
