underpants weevil has the context for the word wrong and playing to that doesn't prove your point the way you think it does. woke, as a term, belongs to the Black community, one of the, on the whole, most left leaning demographics out there. the term comes from a group that has been saying for 300 years that oppression anywhere represents oppression everywhere. it's a anti-colonial, non-national term. people fighting oppression are woke. people fighting on behalf of oppressors are not woke. don't use a nation's government as proof there's no leftist thought going on there, that's some ignorant divisive thinking that will prevent you from building the kinds of coalition you need to fight oppression. it seems like all of this comes down to that you've accepted the conservative rebranding of woke rather than taking the time to understand what it really means and help us reconnotate in order to resist this fascist takeover of language. the powers that be have the power to redenotate words and create newspeak, but we have the power of connotation. don't give them what they want like what you're doing
nazi germany doesn't get overthrown without resistance movements working tirelessly to fight for their rights back. french resistance, german resistance, italian anti-fascists, polish resistance, jewish resistance, and ukrainians who chose to liberate the concentration camps rather than make use of an opportunity to seek independence from moscow were all critical to allied victory in europe in 1945. and as is often the case in history, as soon as that was done, other oppressive forces such as stalin and the liberals of western europe sold out these freedom fighters installing a new world order of oppression. but we've continued working to get our liberation. you can discount our historical contributions all you want. it doesn't change the fact that the world only gets better when people who know the world is fucked work to get it unfucked.
just to lend MAGA the sound of "maggot"
woke folk. but you're out here saying being woke is neither good nor bad. so… what are you saying?
on purpose. it was working until the corporate interests undid most progress in the 1880s, kicking off what is frequently called "the gilded age" but would be better called "the tortured age"
two factors:
- those novels were warnings about the path we were on
- dorkasses like musk and altman missed the allegorical point
what are you saying? because it reads like you think nazis are anti-fascist which is WILDLY out of pocket so i'm sure you're trying to say something else, it's just not clear what
i guess i was mainly thinking of the second industrial revolution which was much more active in the region "woke" originated from than the first industrial revolution, so that's on me
we knew it but now there's been a full investigation and a conclusion that the original first impression of what happened was genuinely what happened
"purely financial" makes zero sense in teh larger context of how media works
i was taught by a holocaust survivor that israeli fascism could only lead to terrible outcomes for the Jewish people.
bottom line: never trust any authority. there may be authorities that help you resist worse authorities, but that doesn't make them good, that makes them a temporary expedient on the path to freedom. sideeye them the entire time you're working with them
