There are ways to say true things that are partly, mostly, or entirely for reasons having nothing to do with conveying the truth.
Notice the contrasting terms “anti-progress” vs. “inclusion”. And the framing about some folk not wanting categories of people to exist, rather than any kind of framing that such folk are caring for something that matters to them and might matter to civilization. And the injection of a slogan in the last line.
The tone of this isn’t about explaining something. It’s implicitly asserting that wokism is just overwhelmingly popular, which is the closest to an answer to the original question as is given. But it’s mostly about frame assertion.
I don’t care how true someone’s utterances are, or what side of the culture wars they’re fighting for, if they’re bringing in tactics like these. It heavily pollutes the information commons.
…I would appreciate understanding expressed in the form of recognizing why I find the word woke to be an aggressive choice of words.
Oh. Actually I didn’t know that “woke” was a problematic word in this corner of memespace. I was just trying to point at the memetic structure and found this term lying around. I’ve seen it on media from far left to far right, so I’d guessed it was just the word everyone had converged on for referring to this thing.

Egads. Well, I’m glad we could calibrate your trust then!

Is there a word you prefer?
