[duf]

There is another thread for "woke culture" but a translation wasn't provided.

Que es la traducción de "woke?" Se usa de manera derogatoria para describir una persona que use temas liberales para demostrar su virtud, y que es una persona muy buena. Se usa para describir personas falsas que suben cosas en redes sociales para queda bien o promover su imagen a los demás.

 

[Ferrol]

¿Cultura de lo políticamente correcto?

 

[Artifacs]

A woke person is said in Spain a fake person: "una persona falsa".

Falso/falsa is often said to someone who shows one face in public but acts differently in private.

He's a woke == Él es un falso.
She's a woke == Ella es una falsa.

Example:
"He is very woke in his beliefs."
"The woke liberal press are pushing their race agenda."
"I can't have a conversation with John. He always ends up talking about the latest woke issue of the day."

These examples correspond to the Urban dictionary explanation. - Politically correct.
Sus creencias son bastante politicamente correctas.
Los liberales politicamente correctos empujan su agenda racial.
No puedo conversar con John. Siempre terminamos hablando sobre el último problema de corrección política del día".

According to Urban dictionary and the expression Get Woke, Go broke, I would say "politicamente correcto". Ahora, dependiendo de contexto, puede ser en el plan positivo o negativo.
Urban Dictionary: Get Woke, Go Broke

The slang meaning of woke was originally only positive. The dictionary defines it as follows.

Aware of the injustice of the social system in which one lives

That is, it originally meant (and still means) that a person has awakened to the reality of racial injustice. In the past few years, some people, mainly those on the far right in US politics, have started using the word in the way you describe, in a derogatory way.

"He is very woke in his beliefs."
"The woke liberal press are pushing their race agenda."
"I can't have a conversation with John. He always ends up talking about the latest woke issue of the day."

The last two are clearly negative, but the first one could be either positive or negative.

Thanks, I believe this is the best option. Thanks to everyone for your responses.

The house dictionary gives the following translation:-

woke adj	informal (aware of injustice) (figurado)	despierto/a adj
		consciente adj mf

Falso/falsa might well be appropriate for a right wing audience/echo chamber, but it isn't the meaning of the word in general use.

Las acepciones de woke que se ven a continuación son todas las actuales. En EE. UU. el término ha sido politizado para que ahora se tenga que considerar el contexto del uso y también considerar quién lo haya usado. Que yo entienda, la izquierda empezó a usarlo según la acepción #1, y luego, para quitarle el lado positivo, la derecha lo tergiversó, esgrimiéndolo con la acepción #2 que es muy despectiva.

A fin de cuentas, en su esencia, las acepciones #1 y #2 significan estar consciente del tratamiento de ciertos grupos minoritarios del país, y compadecerse de ellos, pero lo que pasa es que un bando político ve esa concienciación como algo positivo, mientras el otro la ve como algo negativo.

2. Disparaging.

En otro hilo se dijo que “progre”.

Quizás sea lo más parecido que tengamos en España a la forma despectiva de woke. Aunque progre/progresista sería más, simplemente, liberal.
"Corrección política progre" podría ser una forma de definir "woke culture", desde la derecha.
Desde la izquierda podrían decir algo como "concienciación social".

It's worth noting that none of those definitions have any suggestion that a "woke" person is some kind of hypocrite, saying one thing in public, compared to the way they act in private - although as you say, that may well be the negative view of "wokeness" by its political opponents.

Yes, that is exactly right! I don’t know where he assertion that it means hypocritical, etc., came from, which is why I researched the term. I have never heard it used that way.
