It’s a socialist trait. Definitely not invented in USA or even recently. Many similar historical cases.

Join the movement or be ostracized.

I hear you that the idea is definitely nothing new, but is this flavor of woke something from the US specifically?

I guess it depends what you mean by this flavor. Racial, social, gender, political, all of the above. I don’t think any of those are particularly new to the US. Even the trans agenda isn’t new. The first surgery was done in Weimar Germany by a (no I’m not kidding), gay and Jewish doctor. His research was included in the Nazi books burning.

I would maybe buy that racial wokism is new with BLM cancel culture in 2020, although race tensions have always been a thing, and most countries outside of the US are actually incredibly racist (mainly towards their neighboring countries), despite what our media tells us.

Yeah you're right
