alt Hacker NewsWell, we've just now defined safety rules, health codes, paying taxes, and the like as "woke".
You'd be calling the First Amendment woke if we proposed it now.

"Woke" is just a dog whistle. It's used by anti-intellectuals on the right to signal their allegiance to whatever their dear leader says, and is used to say "I am triggered by this idea" regardless of what the idea is. Anything can be woke to these people, up to and including the 2nd Amendment.

Taxes? How?
I agree with the rest, sure.
Health codes and safety rules are woke, yes. I would have thought that as given. Debates over where you draw the line are absolutely a matter of wokeness.
The way freedom of expression is regulated today is generally woke. The WPFI is insanely woke.
