I agree with you 100% that having a middle ground approach to certain Political issues is nigh impossible nowadays, people in the UK in particular feel like they're becoming more and more far right or far left rather than be moderate.
Being woke nowadays does tend to be associated with the far left, but in it's original definition I personally think that it's a good thing, obviously idiots have taken the term and made it a bit more psychotic like that Curry thread on here with the American woman.
