You do realize that the word "woke" once meant something before right-wing authoritarians appropriated it from the black community? It meant becoming aware of the extent to which the underlying structure of society keeps you down. Which is something no one should become aware of, if you are the one in power, because then what is left other than the pitchfork? So the authoritarian right cheapened "woke" to mean basically, whatever the speaker is wishes to speak disapprovingly of.
I like your writing, so please dispense with the word "woke" in this senseless sense. Whenever someone starts going on about "woke" I'm like, "Oh, pl-ease!" I think you mean leftist superficiality, and there is certainly no lack of that.
