Imagine a "woke mob": Who's in it? What do they look like? What would they do? (programming.dev)

I've heard this phrase used often by those on the right but every time I hear it I can't help but laugh because of what I picture in my head. But perhaps my image is wrong! I want to read everyone else's depictions.

So as to not influence the responses I will not be sharing what I imagine a "woke mob" looks like.

Wow, it’s been years since I’ve seen this photo. Wasn’t the context that this dude just flashed people at an anti rape rally or something?

Yeah, that adds up. It's hard to find a "woke mob" that uniformly angry at someone who doesn't deserve it. Anyone normal will get vague undirected hostility, at worst.
