    The sort of person who says “woke agenda” (or almost anything else involving the word “agenda”) is often someone I disagree with and find unpleasant, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a specific cluster of ideas that he’s referring to which I also often disagree with. I suppose I would refer to these ideas as “the social justice movement” or “modern leftism” rather than “woke”. Simply defining these ideas as “human rights” is disingenuous - you might as well define them as “the truth” if you’re going to simply assume that people who disagree with you cannot possibly even have a point sometimes.
