In May, I asked a simple question: Is the new Super Mario Bros. movie really anti-woke? Here was my answer: Mario Bros. is a throwback flick. It takes viewers back to a happier time when our world wasn’t so politicized. I don’t think that makes the movie “anti-woke”—unless by anti-woke one simply means the absence of wokism.
Great definition of wokeism. The compassion part is key. Even though these ideas are largely destructive, they gain traction because people want to be seen as caring.
One of the characteristics of Marxism generally is that it deliberately tries to politicize everything. So if you find yourself in a world were even movies made for simple entertainment have political messaging built in, you know that Marxist ideology has influenced the film.

Bingo.
