1. A woke Caucasian college professor tells his students that the best way to combat prejudice is to actually go out and make the effort to simply TALK to someone who doesn't look like you. Get to know them as people instead of their skin color, gender or religion.
2. A big company wants to know how they can combat racism in America. They decide to remove the black person from the cover of their product's packaging. It solves nothing. The company issues a statement that someone was paid to write for them, black people roll their eyes and the company moves on, feeling that they have done their part and they're now woke because of it.

Look at those silly insert random minority group here daring to demand rights equal to those of us cishet WASP manly men. They are so woke.

A psyop led by self-professed (classical) liberals like James Linsday and Konstantin Kisin that unsuccessfully attempted to denigrate everything like an awakening racial consciousness, any vital spirit of a shared tribe and ethnos by associating it with wokeness. This could not work because the online right immediately understood that the solution to woke power was not to deradicalizem but rather to engage in postmodern politics of our very own. Politics indeed suitable to rebirth the White ethnos and all else that got lost along the way.
If the Woke right wants us all to give up and embrace 90s liberalism again, somebody might want to ask them: "how did we get to peak wokeness in the first place? Maybe liberalism alone just won't do."
