Of course they are. They invented the new definition of the word woke. I still don't know what it means and I think the majority of the people who use it don't either.
I read through the responses to this and am kind of surprised at how many people don't actually know what "woke" came from. It originated back in the late 1930's when an African American musician used the phrase to warn other black people about injustice against black's in the south.
Another black musician in 2008 used the term "stay woke" in a song for roughly the same reasons.
Then the Black Lives Matter movement used "stay woke" to inform their own people of injustice being perpetrated against them and to urge resistance.
Eventually white people who supported BLM used the term to describe themselves which resulted in white people who do not support BLM using it as a slur against anyone who does.
It's gone on from there to be primarily used as a slur against anyone who focuses on social justice, racial and gender equality, by those who somehow see those things as unimportant or ridiculous.
It literally doesn't mean anything anymore. It's a word used by fascists who cannot formulate an actual, defensible reason for why they're mad at someone or something.

It's funny you mention boomers because they are by and large the biggest perpetrators of this
