 What isn't 'woke' these days? The language is over the top but does the
end result really differ from civilized behavior in the workplace?

 The problem seems to be that some a**holes NEED to be smacked with
regulations before they will live up to basic civility. And then they
complain about "woke tyranny".
 

 That might be true. It is also true that some people are severely and unjustly punished for being conservative christians, pro-Trump, or just plain conservative.

 These actions you're defending as 'unjust' were things like killing someone because they happened to be gay/black/different, right?

No.
It means losing your career and livelihood because you said that women don't have a penis.
Or because you said that Mohammed wasn't a very nice person, after all.
Or losing an eye because of that.
Or losing your career and livelihood because you failed to endorse wokery in every performance and every film play or radio drama that you were involved in.
Or losing your career and livelihood because you failed to endorse 'man made climate change'.

Your patience is infinite!

There's extreme cases of assholitry that have no place in Society; the question is how to establish a fair, uniform and transparent standard that won't be abused by those who's personal biases make them prone to being an abuser (see religious leaders & pedophilia for YA example).
 

Abolish woke.

This is the truth! If someone wants to be a racist or a holocaust denier, go for it. I don't care, and I don't agree, but for the love of god, he has the same rights as I do.
I feel disgusted by the creeds of wokeness that are stuffed down peoples throats at big, international IT companies. However! They are greedy enough not to bite the hand that feeds them, so I expect major big IT corporations, to turn toward Trumpism now, and deny or conveniently forget that they ever were woke.
I've heard that there have been slight shifts towards this stance within Redhat the past couple of months.
