      My best approximation on how to answer "you know what I'm talking about" is... "I know what kind of things you refer to, but I have generally positive opinions on those things, so I'd like a clearer definition so we can talk frankly about pros and cons"

So some guy who bought his house in 1975, thinks that young people today should not have any problem, as he worked hard. No doubt he did, but materially it’s completely different.

    Woke:
    Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) originally meaning alertness to racial prejudice and discrimination. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used as slang for a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBTQIA rights.

      No.
      Woke is identity politics.
      It’s a pyramid of victim status ,based on perceived persecution and used as weaponised morality for individual advancement and empire building.
      For example , Stonewall or BLM.
      Woke, as in awake to the reality of historic persecution.
      The claims of persecution don’t have to be real , recent , frequent or severe.
      Its ironic that in claiming their victim status that the self identified victims are willing to victimise people who disagree with their position and aggressively attack and attempt to compel others to submit to their views.
      For example the trans lobby and the aggressive attacks on ‘terfs’ .

I wish more of them would just be honest about what their actual issues are so can move the conversation along. Hearing this guy complaining about things that he's unwilling to say without it being dragged out him is pretty tiresome, yet quite common.
      The 'what's going on in the schools' on that topic could be a worthwhile debate if actually say what mean.
