“Everything woke turns to shit”

“Everything woke turns to shit” is a saying that has been printed on many images.
 
“Get woke, go broke” and “Go woke, go broke” are related sayings.
   
   
Wikipedia: Woke
Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination”. Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for American Left ideas involving identity politics and social justice, such as the notion of white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.
