Performative wokery

The act of claiming offence on behalf of a third party, without any discrimination for context, intent or reasoning. Used affirmatively by young or naive social warriors, who believe any loud noise they make brings attention that helps their cause. Used disparagingly by experienced social warriors with experience actually inciting change, who know that shouting at strangers mostly undermines the cause's legitimacy and attracts the wrong sort of attention.

Have you seen Jack's twitter where he picks fights with celebrities? I know he's trying to be on our side but his performative wokery is starting to put everything we stand for at risk.
