Wokeness is an awareness of inequality, discrimination and humiliation in society
Wokeness, in my view, is a good thing. Awareness of unfairness in the treatment of others not only makes the world a better place and us better people, it creates a culture in which the marginalized receive empathy instead of blame. Everyone has marginalized thoughts, feelings, and desires. Everyone has a history of managing unfair expectations and humiliations. A woke culture would be a pleasure to live in for everyone.

Wokeism is a term invoked by opponents of wokeness. The term wokeism epitomises intolerance, on two fronts:
It suggest that wokeness is intolerant by corrupting the understanding of wokeness, and
It tries to vilify wokeness by claiming that wokeness is itself intolerant.
wokeism—a system of thought and behavior characterized by intolerance, policing the speech of others, and proving one’s own superiority by denouncing others. It’s not hard to see how wokeism benefits the intolerant:

Therefore wokeism is the antithesis of wokeness.

It's a stupid term, well, both terms are. Doesn't really help solve societies problems, and allows people to devalue the work others are doing to tackle racism, homophobia, etc. etc.
 
It's a desire to change and blame others for issues that are mostly in your own head.

I don't disagree, I was just differentiating between the two terms.
 
Why you people feed this idiot’s hunger for pointless controversy is a mystery.
