  2. oh really? https://www.reddit.com/r/Asmongold/ i'm not gatekeeping anything, from what I've seen of him he's a magat pos and he's extraordinarily terrible at analysis and has no informed political opinions. his rise to prominence is indicative of the problem of right-wing radicalization of young men via social media algos. the manosphere thing is a huge grift wherein ppl like Tim Pool and Andrew Tate and Asmongold can exploit the idea of male loneliness for themselves for click$ and engagement while also furthering the male loneliness epidemic as they blame all the problems young men face on ginned-up culture war nonsense, not addressing the systemic economic issues ushered in by unchecked neoliberal capitalism made worse by the political establishment's refusal to address them.
  3. Tone deaf to what??? And why are you so obsessed with being a tone cop? Is everyone supposed to cater to the asmongold incel dipshit crowd?
  4. what the everlivin fuck are you talking about? you're not making any sense at all.
  5. I agree with this 100% and thought as much at the time. I couldn't believe Al gave in so easily instead of fighting for his seat.
  6. so by that logic, do you need a law to just do the right thing?
  7. Of course, just as the GOP weaponized terms like "woke" and "DEI" and "CRT" so ding dongs like linux will eat up that framing while pretending LatinX was ever anything but an obscure nothing-burger on the left.
  8. Linux: Woke is the aggressive use of identity politics to frame an issue/object/discussion. Erykah Badu: “I can tell you what woke means: It just means being aware, being in alignment with nature, because if you’re in alignment with that, you’re aware of everything that’s going on. It’s not only in the political arena. That means with your health. That means in your relationships. That means in your home. That means in your car. That means in your sleep.” https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-03-29/erykah-badu-woke-definition-conservatives-master-teacher
  9. NOBODY USED THE FUCKING TERM JFC I'm on the left, I spend a lot of time on leftist websites and whatnot and LatinX was not EVER. A. THING. You're tilting at windmills.
  10. How so exactly? Be specific. Is it the Me Too movement stuff that made a lot of men uneasy with past behaviors? I'm a 55 year old man and I've done some shit thereof that I can say I'm not proud of but those teachable moments didn't make me feel ostracized by the left to the point where I'd vote for racist authoritarian fascist-enablers who want to undo all the progress we've made as a nation at the expense of real-world voting issues that matter to me. That just proves the point dude. Nobody gave a shit about that except some random academics. Congratulations on finding a news link about it, now ask yourself why it was newsworthy in the first place if it was never really a topic of importance on the left. Could it have anything to do with that right-wing news media you keep taking your cues from?
  11. lofl. You're hanging that hat on LatinX??? Dude, very few took that seriously at all and it was never really a thing on the left. So what examples are you talking about that aren't ginned up nonsense by right-wing media? Give me specifics. Or is it just the trans in sports hysteria?
  12. What the fuck are you talking about? What left wing culture noise bullshit? I bet that any example you come up is a non-story ginned-up into a controversy by the same billionaire-funded right-wing youtube crowd constantly in search of an enemy. No it isn't. It has far less to do with the specifics of a given cause on the left and everything to do with the way the right-wing bombthrowers on social media have been funded and promoted by wealthy benefactors who want that message to reach young men.
  13. Well you're very much wrong about it as it had more specific meaning than your definition but that's kinda the point I'm trying to get you to see. If there's no clear definition of what it means to "stay woke" from the crowd screaming about wokeness, its usage is done in bad faith and undermines the community it's aimed to protect by making it as a derisive pejorative for, say, blackness.
  14. you idiot fuck all you're doing is validating right-wing culture noise bullshit when you post inane shit like this. eject that word from your vocabulary, the only people who use it are racist republicans. you can convey the same argument better without silly nonsensical framing.
  15. ftr this is not what it meant to be "woke" even in 2008 when Erykah Badu brought it back into the online lexicon.
  16. your framing in this thread is no different than any Republican
  17. wrong again it goes back way before the 70s https://www.facebook.com/reel/635820422585835
  18. And we should listen to tone scolds like you over @troph? Fuck outta here.
  19. WHICH IS 100% THE WORK OF RIGHT-WING MEDIA. And you've validated that nonsense in this thread. If you actually know about the true history of "woke" then I'd suspect you would not employ it the way you have here.
  20. bingo. "woke" for idiot Republicans is a stand-in for "anything I don't like" just as they used "political correctness" until it got shortened to "PC" and these are all bad-faith maneuvers to avoid actually engaging in the specifics of any given topic to give the appearance winning an argument without ever making one in the first place. It's a bad-faith trick to avoid the consequences of ones actions or shitty opinions.
  21. so you're saying the GOP is now woke? Your ignorance on this is impressive. You really should do some basic reading on the etymology of "woke" in black culture before commenting further on it. You're coming off like an idiot and an asshole.
  22. none of this has anything to do with Democrats or their agenda. and your dumb fucking take about "wokeness" just shows you to be an easy target for these evil messengers.
