Get the Wokemug. Originally, this word referred to people who were awake about conspiracy theories (at this point, conspiracy facts).
Then, it became a word to refer to SJWs, as the most popular voted definition describes.

Get the wokemug. A word used by Republicans to describe anything they don't like. In other words, anything that isn't, or isn't about straight, white, neurotypical, skinny men.
Example of how it is used in a sentence: Noah thinks that two of her coworkers (Ethan and Tara) are woke because Ethan is on the autism spectrum, and Tara is in a wheelchair."

Get the Wokemug. Examples of pseudo-wokeness:
Calling very small things that aren't even racist "racist" for no real reason.
Discriminating against white people, men, and straight people, thinking it'll "counter" the discrimination against people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ members that happened in the past and the present.
Any sort of corporate pandering
Doing any of the examples of pseudo-wokeness shown here won't fix the fire that is bigotry. It'll just create another "anti-fire" (which is really just another fire) that'll burn down society even more and possibly even strengthen the pre-existing fire.
