Because their goals are different from what actual woke people want and are willing to sacrifice for. That’s why I call them fake woke.
Their core goal is similar to an actor putting on a play. They want to turn out a good performance to impress like-minded people on social media.
The right chastises this as “virtue signaling” but I think it’s far worse. It’s demonstrably corrosive to the causes I’ve dedicated my life and career to.
So, to the “actors” out there, turn your passion into the work you are avoiding that our country needs you to do.
Become a teacher, run for office, organize a group to lobby and petition the government. It won’t be easy and it will be long and sometimes tedious. But it’s what works.
