Wokeness as a Smokescreen

Say you do something wrong in the workplace or elsewhere, a pretty clever strategy would to be employ a "woke criticism" of your employer or authority figure to distract from the issue at hand. You'd get automatic public support and contrition from your employer. 

For instance, you get criticized for coming in late for work. You speak to HR about the workplace not being diverse enough. You get criticized for not being a team player, we need gender neutral bathrooms right now. 

A woke smokescreen.
