The original definition of "woke" was social justice. There's nothing in particular wrong with that. However, about a decade ago the social justice warriors started canceling people.
They were evil little scumbags who would call your boss, call your customers, call your neighbors and friends, to assassinate your character. And they used that power to acquire positions of influence.
For example, they became the bureaucrats who wrote Codes of Conduct for conferences and meetings and organizations; And then they would use that power to ostracise and exclude people based upon supposed violations of the CoC that they never had to prove.
Lots of people were hurt by this. The power this gave the SJWs allowed the craziness of 2020 where suddenly every company had to have a Chief Diversity Officer or DEI executive. These folks then used their much greater power to decide who could be hired, who could be fired, who could advertize, and who should be exiled.
That's why woke is about control.
