It's so infuriating because those first 2 things technically are woke in the original sense of the phrase. It was never supposed to have a negative connotation, it just meant having your eyes open to the ways of the world and having a discussion about how to improve them for everyone. How did we let that get twisted into something we want to avoid at all costs?

Fair point. The next target is DEI, people already get defensive when things are called DEI as if its a new slur
