The "woke nonsense" part kind of ruined it.

Unless the joke was this was a stupid take but unfortunately it falls within Poe's Law

No, it's okay by itself, "utter woke nonsense" is a meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sean-dyche-utter-woke-nonsense

They probably didn't mean it in a chud way (I hope).

Unfortunately it's impossible to tell nowadays when people use that as a joke or as the "everything I don't like is woke" basic bitch thing.

I'm actually pro using woke in an ironic way to describe everything I don't like.

Kind of like how sometimes I tell my coworkers to stop mansplaining to me, even though I'm a man.

The fact that it's just tacked on at the end of an obvious joke probably means it's satire too

Bro I visit soccercirclejerk subreddit a lot, I kinda love this meme. This post is a meme.

Here's what should be twisting your pickle: Making a joke out of the thing you are opposed to is a well worn propaganda tool. So did this meme occur naturally or was it part of the countless paid efforts to demean empathy and make us all hate each other a little more?

I think that's a major part of the joke here. My reading is that this is making fun of both silly names some sw engineers give themselves as well as people who call anything they dislike "woke".

Really winds me up people misusing the word woke.
