It’s woke not because of what’s in it, but why. It’s performative politics. Token ensemble casts. Empty signaling. It’s not meant to make the world a better place, it’s meant to make money. It’s like cheap pride merch at Walmart.
Only Republicans talked about virtual signalling and empty signalling because they can't fathom someone actually caring about others.
That's not something humans seem to want to work together to do.
