They've got a point!

Doesn't really apply to a flame war tho.
I'm not talking about flame wars, I'm talking about real world shit. You know, the shit that's actually behind the behaviors they call 'woke' to try to get people to stop doing.
The right know they can't win the economic argument. Everyone's purchasing power is going down and living standards are stagnating
Yep, and they use the 'woke' shit to make people be ok with worsening conditions because wanting to be treated like a real person is 'woke'
That's why they push the 'woke' stuff and divide the workers
People push the 'woke' shit because it's a thought terminating cliche that allows ignorant twats to not think about why they're actually being awful to people or supporting people destroying innocent peoples' lives
Why else would right-wing platforms like Google,Facebook,Newscorp be plastered with this "no neutral! You have to pick a side!" shite?
What? They push the 'woke narrative' bullshit, or actively support the oppressors. If anything, they take the neutral position so they don't have to justify supporting oppression when they can pretend to be neutral.

i was gonna say something to this effect. big tech firms aren't pushing woke anything. they're the most anti-woke shit out there. they want us isolated and divided so we never learn our true power as a populace. if this poster keeps drilling down this insane "woke people are just as ignorant as fascists" bullshit i'm going to block them because their entire argument hinges on assuming white usage of a Black term is correct when it is overtly and intentionally incorrect.
but what else would i expect from a
.mlposter. it's always performative leftist outrage trying to shut down anti-authoritarian thought rather than contributing anything meaningful or useful. -
Many self described woke people are in fact ignorant fucking twats. One political outlook does not make u not an ignorant twat. You can be both. U can be neither. This is a false dichotomy. And ur attempt to put people in one of 2 boxes without acknowledging any sort of nuance around it clearly indicates the box you fall into.
any person claiming to be woke is instantly not woke because that's not how the term works

Man, fuck english idioms. Will never get over how "that's shit" = bad but "that's the shit" = good
That's quite the example.

Yeah, I was meaning more the 'woke narrative' shit. The tech firms are working hand in glove with conservatives to push the narratives that get ignorant twats all riled up about 'wokeness'. I updated that part for clarity.

Greater brevity: "Holy fuck!" Something bad happened. "Holy fuck!" Something awesome happened.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." - Joseph Goebbels
The word Nazi was weaponised then overused against people who where not in fact Nazis. And now it no longer means anything. Congratulations you played yourself.
Nazi said what?

a few problems with this comment:
- woke is net a left wing counterpart to "redpilled" it's a term at least 160 years old
- anyone who claims to be woke is instantly not woke. you have to earn being called woke by an oppressed person. you can claim to be conscious to aspects of this system of oppression, but you cannot claim to be woke or conscious without instantly demonstrating yourself to be a performative ally
- your issue is not with whether or not being woke is good, your issue is with whether or not claiming to be woke is good, in which case, see point 2
- conservatives use redpilled wrong just like they use woke wrong. they just generally use any terms of consciousness wrong because fascism is a scam that promises progressive benefits through status quo, an obvious logical fallacy
your issue isn't with "woke" your issue is with how conservatives use the word woke, literally the point of the OP
woke is net a left wing counterpart to βredpilledβ itβs a term at least 160 years old
Okay, I know when it's a waste of time to keep reading a comment. This is Advanced Bad Faith, lol.

So that video the other day of that woman blaming the Jews for being holocausted werenβt nazis? And to ad this is a view Iβve witnessed firsthand from only conservatives.

If their is anyone I would trust as an authority on how to convince people to be Nazis it would be gerbils.
Doing exactly as he suggests is a very poor idea.

The meaning of the word has changed to mean exactly those people. The right did that and they did it very effectively, and that's how the silent majority see it.

Man, fuck english idioms. Will never get over how "that's shit" = bad but "that's the shit" = good
"bollocks" = bad / nonsense / lies
"the bollocks" = the absolute best you can get

Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.
The same people also see being "progressive" as a bad thing. I swear, if they had they way, we still be amazed at the sight of fire while living in our caves.

i'm being for real. and that you deny real history and say real history is "bad faith" is terrifying. you're being willfully unaware of what's going on around here and declaring yourself to be superior in knowing what's going on

That woman defiantly was a Nazi. But calling people who don't believe what she does the same thing makes calling her a Nazi effectively meaningless.
Classic boy who cried wolf scenario. And now the real wolfs get away with saying fucked shit.
That would be because its conservatives who it is weaponised against. Who would expect that.

During the holocaust there were millions of Germans who were completely indifferent to the killing of the Jews. They were likely unconsciously ignoring the horrible shit that was happening and didnβt want to face reality because if they did acknowledge it they would be implicated or be shunned by their in group. Notice how their main concern was selfish in nature. This is how I see the landscape of modern day conservatism. There is little to no pushback from other conservatives against the horrible shit people are saying and doing.
So you can argue all you want whether or not the wilfully ignorant are nazis or not I donβt really care. And I am not surprised itβs meaningless to those who are indifferent. They have already chosen to ignore the horrible shit some conservatives are saying, why would they care what anyone else says.

If you're not woke your eyes are closed
Or just plain stupid

Yeah but have you noticed how despite the fact that they normally hate progress and change because it makes their control harder, they're utterly obsessed with AI.

Whoa, fuck yeah Linus Torvalds
On top of all of that he used "I couldn't care less" correctly.

That was depressing. I knew our president was dumb, but I still didn't think he could be that dumb.
I struggle to understand how you guys in the US missed the signs. I mean... stuff like "they are eating the dogs" should sparkle some doubts, right?

I would say the mass outcry from conservatives at trump not releasing the Epstein files is the exact push back u refer to.
And this is why the left keep losing. The right are not ignorant of the shit the more extreme than themselves are doing they let it be because for the moment their goals are aligned. The left is too busy fighting with others on the left over what flavour of left they are and to what extent that they are. They end up completely sabotaging themselves fighting to be right instead of to win.
Then of cause u need to remember the only law that exists is violence and he who wields it wins. The conservatives have won the young men and the left are apathetic to their struggle. The left does not realise the threat they have created.
