In fact, a lot of that woke stuff actually comes from the CIA.
It's a tactic they first used in the 70s in Europe, when "real" left parties (i.e. the old-school socialist/communist parties, affiliated with the soviet union) started gaining ground. All of a sudden they started funding a lot of stuff like that, because it weakened/marginalized those parties. Why fight for workers rights when you can fight for LGBT, immigrant, women rights, etc. I.e. the right of fifteen distinct groups that have no power.
Much more recently that tactic was used to destroy the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The very concept of nation is quite euro-centric though.
Most of the rest of the world definitely thinks in terms of ethnic and racial groups, and has done so for thousands of years.
