I've always thought "pathological altruism" was a pretty good summation.
Also this:
"Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
Woke is a rich white-jewish-atheist woman saying racial slurs and death threats to a poor black catholic man because he dared voice the opinion that "person of color" and "colored person" were the same thing.
Most succinct in can manage: Critical Progressivism. That is, a belief that history is loving in a predefined direction, and that humanity will and must cause it to reach its conclusory utopia by repeatedly destroying any societal structures which are not successfully bringing that utopia about.
Wokeness encompasses many things, but at the root of it, is the leftwing version of identity politics and racism. Global authoritarian Collectivist style.
Wokeness is Critical Race Theory, black-washing and race-swapping. Affirmative action and hires. Diversity, inclusion, and equity. Political Correctness. Double-speak and wrongthink. Revisionist history. etc. In a nutshell.
I'm not a particular fan of the Rightwing version either..
'In brief, [. . .] being woke means viewing society through various critical lenses, as defined by various critical theories bent in service of an ideology most people currently call “Social Justice.” That is, being woke means having taken on the worldview of Critical Social Justice, which sees the world only in terms of unjust power dynamics and the need to dismantle problematic systems. That is, it means having adopted Theory and the worldview it conceptualizes.'

Frankly assuming that it's "altruistic" is the problem with this definition. It's not altruistic. It's based on resentment and revenge

I'd say that no definition of "woke" would be complete without an acknowledgement of their self worship and god complex.
They define themselves and their motivations as intrinsically good, therefore any disagreement or impediments to their goals are automatically evil.
From James Lindsay at "New Discourses":
'In brief, [. . .] being woke means viewing society through various critical lenses, as defined by various critical theories bent in service of an ideology most people currently call “Social Justice.” That is, being woke means having taken on the worldview of Critical Social Justice, which sees the world only in terms of unjust power dynamics and the need to dismantle problematic systems.

"Neo-Marxism" is a good synonym for "Critical Social Justice."

Well I was going to give my definition but the Drinker’s video is sufficient. Systems of oppression seems to be their calling card. Also the hierarchy
It's weaponized narcissism.
Feminized anti-White Liberalism.
'Neo-Marxism," "woke Marxism," "marxist identitarianism" are all synonyms for "woke" Lindsay has used, all accurate.
