pseudo-woke 

People who "woke" for the sake of social validation

Kids nowadays are pseudo-woke, they follow all of the activism-thingy for "Anti-Social Media reaction" instead of truly advocating marginalized people

Chick-fil-A is a pseudo-woke, they bow down to woke culture while practicing homophobia at the same time

pseudo-wokeness

Fake wokeness. It's what basically ruined the term "woke".

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.

Pseudowoke

An idea that would be classified as woke or leftist, but actually disrespects one minority in order to uplift another.

“Claiming that sexism is worse than racism in the United States is blatantly pseudowoke.”
