Always interesting to replace 'woke' with a word like 'decent' or
'decency'. The result can be revealing. A bit like 'virtue signalling'
the right wing hate virtue of any kind and therefore any expression of
compassion, care or decency has to be denounced as hypocrisy - 'It's
just a signal, you are really selfish immoral creeps just like us!'


"Decent" is as subjective as "woke". So is "virtue": the "signalling"
bit just means that you want to show off your virtue, like
ostentatiously giving to charity.
