The term for this is wokeness. It is typified by overly sensitive, agenda-pushing, irrational behavior that uses offense as a tool to further their political agenda, oppress those who oppose and exemplify eggregious levels of false moral-superiority (and virtue signal to their mob). As President Obama says [1], it is not activism.

This is, again, a lot of fear-laden and breathless language in response to a single person saying that they’re uncomfortable with a word. You don’t know anything about them, much less whether they have a political agenda or “eggregious (sic) levels of false moral-superiority.” What gives?
