Bowling alley. Not in a lane though, bowling and drinking beers with friends. In the parking lot.

 Being 'woke' means adhering to the belief that the most important aspect of a person is their race and/or sexuality, and that human beings can be easily categorized into wholesale 'oppressor' and 'victim' categories with no nuance or regard for personal histories or character. It means believing that every rich black child from an affluent, safe home is always 'worse off' than any white child from a broken home where physical and/or sexual abuse is common -- that the latter's 'white privilege' means they still 'have it better' than the former, no matter the circumstances of their respective lives. It means constantly reframing every aspect of society through the lens of 'white/hetero = inherently bad", 'POC/gay/trans = inherently virtuous and anything they do wrong is the fault of a white person, somewhere"

Privilege, oppression, and class warfare all Marxist ideas, and none of you is saying anything more than word-for-word quotes straight from 1950s Soviet textbooks. World War I proved Marx wrong, yet there's still a culture of pseudointellectuals who believe they've got the inside straight on how the world 'really' works, a.k.a 'woke.'

Now, however, thanks to the actions of smug, self-satisfied ideologues, 'woke' has also become a pejorative. You may not like that, but that's how language works -- a fact you're usually happy to point to when arguing why someone's subjective desire to be perceived as something they're not is 'language evolving.'

Don't presume to talk down on people exercising independent thought. Reframing everyone who disagrees with your pigeon-holing of the world as 'bigots' no longer works.
