Meh. I get what you're saying, but at its core the corporate virtue signalling efforts are an attempt at marketing to a hypothetical customer that wants to do business with a company that holds certain values.  And this "anti-woke bank" idea sounds like an effort to pander to a hypothetical customer that wants to do business with a completely different set of values. I don't see them as being particularly different in philosophy.

You can say all of these things without contradiction:

1.  Corporate virtue signalling, however cynical, happens.
2. People are hyping up "wokism" for their own purposes and this includes priming people who fear the bogeyman so they join a scam bank.

You can oppose "woke" policies while still acknowledging that wokism is being overhyped.  And none of this amounts to me telling people to "not talk about it".
