Okay, I'll believe you instead of the massive amount of literature available online suggesting otherwise. Do you have any beachfront property in Arizona for sale?
And hundreds of bloggers and essayists have argued there is a connection, or similarity, or at least synergy, between Marxism (or neo-Marxism) and what is commonly referred to as Woke ideology. Have you been sitting under a coconut tree the last 10 years?

Disney Admits Woke Content Has Diminished Earnings
In a just-released SEC report, Disney has acknowledged that the woke political and social agendas contained in its creative product have cost the company dearly and drained the value of shareholder stock.

It all boils down to a lack of “consumer acceptance,” or more particularly general consumer perceptions “of our efforts to achieve certain…social goals, often differ widely and present risks to our reputation and brands.”

The Hill‘s Jonathan Turley: “Disney has reportedly lost a billion dollars just on four of its recent ‘woke’ movie flops, productions denounced by critics as pushing political agendas or storylines.

Whatever you, crotchety old Bill Maher, and a few others may think "woke" means, it simply means "considerate". Something we should all try to be. It suggests you actually care about others. It means you don't park in a handicapped zone. It means you treat others as you would want to be treated. Whatever extreme definition you and others try to give the term are YOUR hangups, not anyone who actually tries to be "woke". The opposite of "woke" is "asshole". If after 100 years of movies and cartoons that ignore gays and minorities, we suddenly have some movies and cartoons INCLUDING and even ABOUT gays and minorities, it's no big deal, but here you are all hung up on "woke". I can't believe what a scandal a few insincere people make about this. Woke ain't the problem, man.
