I mean anyone who use the word Woke (Or Progre in my language) unironically.

It just seems very broad since people use it many ways β€œget woke” vs β€œthe woke mob.” At least in the US it is used by people in both good and bad ways.

Huh, I have never hear anyone using "Woke" in a good way, but okey.

I haven't either. Maybe it's because I don't use any social media but Lemmy

All of those uses are red flags, or at least would be over here.

The word "woke" is just a right-wing dog whistle, hence why it's a red flag when somebody uses it except for the context of talking about these people.
