You're showing a lot of recency bias. There's no "woke fad as we know it". There have always been people advocating for social issues, just because the latest wave is the one that's the most prominent in your mind doesn't make it any more special than the others.

Please stop saying "cope". It's a meaningless ad hominem, you're accusing GP of living in denial of something and trying to "cope" with it. Very dismissive.
