      It never meant anything. It is just a slur word invented by right wingers for when they face repercussions for their bigotry. They regularly switch out the word when they think it has outlived its usefulness. Older terms were PC and SJW. None of them meant anything.

        Used to be it meant “not asleep”, in that you were aware of social injustices. A la “wake up sheeple!”

        But it was co-opted by right-wingers as a catch-all term like “political correctness”, and has since lost the original meaning.
