No, the corporation is not "woke". Everything is done by committee in today's world. So "the committee" is woke, not the corporation.

True. While corporations are legally people when they're pouring
thousands in a campaign fund it's the passel of assholes running the
corporation that are woke.

And a lot of time, they are going woke to avoid
confrontation with the woke mod. Black Lives
is a good example. If our justice department
would get off their asses and prosecute these
extortionists, we'd see a lot less of this
stuff. Businesses generally prefer to stay out
of politics. All sides buy shoes.

I do believe Disney would still be woke though.
That is just who they are. Too many "assholes"
as you accurately stated

There's also the usual hypocrisy. I don't do Starbucks but they
apparently are all sorts of woke -- until somebody says 'union' and
Schultz goes on the war path.

What I found interesting was Cory Doctorow's tweet about Disney trying
to stiff Foster:

Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave.

And Marvel Comics. Supposedly they'd figured out woke equals broke from
the Marvel debacle and were going to purge SJW's but I'm not too sure.

http://voxday.net/

I'm not big on comics but Vox Day's Arktoons project might be called the
Anti Woke Warriors. Day (Theodore Beale) was also involved in the Sad
Puppies/Rabid Puppies campaign:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies

founded Castalia House to publish non-acceptable authors, and Infogalactic.

https://infogalactic.com/info/Main_Page

Much of infogalactic is a mirror of Wikipedia but the difference in the
pages the SJW's have reworked on wiki is interesting.
