To me, the whole thing with "woke" being used as a derogatory term is the same as conservatist folk calling XR, Last Generation and other activists "eco-terrorists".
I've watched/played/read things I wouldn't have discovered if there hadn't been masses of people crying "woke" about them; there was a period where it was a really useful recommendation engine, because they'd be especially pissy if high quality stuff was woke. Unfortunately, that doesn't work as well anymore, because "woke" is increasingly meaningless
Anarchists could be on that list. I grew up thinking anarchists were chaos demons trying to fuck shit up for fun. Turns out they're just people who actually have empathy and aren't greedy shitheads.
