  1. Head in sand https://www.kxan.com/news/latinx-dropped-from-lulac-official-usage-deemed-very-unliked-by-latinos/ Yup it was such a non plus that it had to have directives to stop using it, LatinX has mostly died in recent years after the pushback was impossible to ignore.
  2. Lol I have been called worse, if it makes you feel any better I despise them as well even back then when I was getting banned from progressive subreddits I knew I would gladly take a million humiliations over the GOP winning, but still, lessons need to be learned.
  3. It already has, see the mayor-elect of Omaha that actively campaigned on the GOP bathroom obsession. I just hope we learn our lessons going forward, we need discipline, we need to be smart, we are playing behind the eight ball because until we denazify that is just what reality is. Assuming we still have elections of course.
  4. I will meet you half-way, I will stop using it when it is important (aka elections) and use it when important (learning opportunities after losing) I did not say any of this shit in 2024, but had already reached similar conclusions.
  5. On this we disagree, and splitting hairs on this does nobody any good.
  6. Roma do you really want me to post the near infinite list of woke left wingers misbehaving? I am not kidding the list is probably in the millions to compare me with Limbaugh is disingenuous, you might have been sheltered on this forum but on the world wide web it was not just one or two incidents it is an avalanche of stupidity that spanned a decade. You can all stick your heads in the sand how it does not matter, and you are kinda right it does not today I agree with it but only because the woke movement is reeling and finally seeing the consequences of their actions catching up to them, all of the left wing crusaders (and there were millions) that stoked the fires have retired. But the damage is done, and to loop it back into the party propper one of the idiotic actions of the democrats was what they did to Al Franken, culling our own based on identity politics jockeying IS suicidal. Then we wonder why we lost to the biggest clown when we get rid of our most talented players. Fair enough
  7. No, because I was using the definition of woke circa 2011, before the GOP even had a shot at redefining it. Woke was invented in the 70s by the black community, pretty much stopped being used but came back in the 2010s, the 2010s definition is the one I am using and most people use. Republicans have tried to redefine it to mean all leftist politics but I do not use that definition.
  8. Yes they did, the overton for Gen Z was shifted hard those formative years. Also Michelle Obama was talking about Trump being an asshole it had nothing to do with identity politics.
  9. Actually there is an argument that the woke right does exist, the difference is they will not be punished electorally for it, while we are. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/woke-right/681716/ That does not mean we stop fighting for trans rights, just that it be done intelligently and not idiotically And for the record I do know of its etymology, I am talking about how woke is defined today however.
  10. Gamergate was a right wing originated movement, its name was coined by Adam Baldwin, and weaponized by Steve Bannon, and perpetuated initially by the grifters of today, that is how Candace Owens got her start, Ian Miles Cheong, and Cernovich as well. It would have been a footnote in history (instead of the dangerous avalanche that it is today) had the left behaved like mature adults and not like petulant children, grown adults arguing that bullying should be brought back to punish these kids, I was there it was a bloodsport.
  11. Woke is the aggressive use of identity politics to frame an issue/object/discussion. This is the single most brilliant definition of woke I have ever seen Or is SNL right-wing propaganda? STOP DOING STUPID SHIT!
  12. And the plan was for those old dinosaurs to die off, not to start generating new ones radicalized even harder than before. I literally met some dumbass first time voter that said he will finally get dates after Trump gets elected and gets rid of all the undocumented workers, how did he ever reach that stupid conclusion? the new talk radio that did not exist a decade ago.
  13. I still don't understand how this is being revolved around me defending the racist, misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic policies of the GOP, when my argument is that A) since they are in the majority they are not punished as hard B) The electorate is selfish enough ignore it just as long as they get more money. The democrats should have concentrated on money issues, then that shift of Gen Z men would not have mattered, it is worrying of course but 2024 would have still been a reprieve. I am not woke but only because woke is a blind emotional strategy and it is stupid, not because I agree with the GOP in any of their arguments.
  14. linux replied to Derka's topic in Cloak Room
    Communist dictatorships using strict price controls could not stop inflation, what hope does a bloviated orange moron have? Its either shortages or price increases, and there is not a damn thing the loser can do about it.
  15. I agree with the first paragraph, but only for 2024ish by that time the damage was done. The culture wars are over 10+ years old now, for these kids that turned into impressionable idiot adults. As for the last paragraph I don't respect the social "sciences" you could say the same about me, and that is fair. But I will finish with this, there has been a long lasting desperate attempt to find this "male role model" for young boys. Tim Waltz was supposed to be this. They leaned heavily on his coaching background and told young boys "follow him, not Tate!" I have never seen a dumber and more desperate strategy in my life. It's like it was designed by aliens completely foreign to the male psyche.
  16. Tone policing is not expendability, it's called reality. Even if I do think you should be what you identify as, their methods were clearly stupid.
  17. Honestly they might have been from this side of the pond, I don't know why it would be limited to Brits Now the question being do I defend JK Rowling's emotional response to dive deeper and deeper into a right wing rabbit hole? even with the death threats? of course not, that is a fallacy, you are neither right or wrong based on the hysteria of the opposition, but the key part is that she is within the traditional majority, she can be irrational and still win cases and win elections, not us.
  18. Leadership? no, but since the Democrats are a giga tent party, there are elements within that did enormous damage out selfish emotional needs as opposed to playing as a team. And yeah I do think they radicalized Rowling with continuous death threats. https://www.trtworld.com/perspectives/jk-rowling-receives-death-threats-over-transgender-row-12867206 Elon was always that way though, just based on the timelines.
  19. Again more hysteria, I am proposing, ney demanding at this point that they tone police (which they have largely done, but out of fear, and not strategic thinking).
  20. Elon Musk has always been a white supremacist, all his adult life however https://www.democracynow.org/2025/3/27/elon_musk_south_africa JK Rowling was not an ideologue even during the first Trump administration. https://theweek.com/feature/1020838/jk-rowlings-transphobia-controversy-a-complete-timeline These are two separate genesis.
  21. If nobody likes change there are people that are still gradients, some people like scientists change their mind on a dime based on the empirical evidence, a hillbilly MAGA will not change his mind even if Trump is outside burning his house down with him inside. The point is strategy, honey vs vinegar, and the trans community was super hysterical for over 10 years roughly 2010-2020, I already posted about one of their jokes about raping and force breeding cis women, like what in the fuck are these people doing? It was radioactive vinegar squared at this point. Yeah I will never support fascism even if I were ideologically neutral because of the Niemöller poem, I know its fundamental nature. But the trans debate even turned normal people like JK Rowling into a right wing rabbit hole.
  22. The latter part is already baked in the baseline, Republicans were never getting 0% of Gen Z males, however the near 18 demographic went from something like 60% democrat to 44% democrat the exact stats are above, this is the woke consequence I have been warning about. MLK Jr played the smart game, the I have a dream speech did not talk about reparations for example, and for good reason they wanted to win, they pushed pure equality. It was later that stuff like affirmative action started to creep in. Looping back to the trans debate in sports, they should have pushed for a open circuit for all and a lower testosterone level circuit (many many years of tracked low T needed to qualify), but they wanted their cake and eat it too so they pushed for keeping the "woman" in the title and joining, it was ideology it was breaking fairness (weight divisions in boxing as a historical precedent) and it was verbally toxic. The above would have been a perfect compromise that pleased everyone but the biggest bigot, but histeria won the day.
  23. Yes and no, I think there was another thread where the trans obsession is starting to backfire, its almost like people decided to vote for Trump based on their wallet and their wallet only. Let them waste money talking about irrelevant issues, meanwhile go meat and potatoes how you are going to do handouts for people that need it, Kamala could have won had she been singlemindedly populist from the start. Campaign reform is just a bandaid at an even deeper level 40% of the population is in a fascist cult this means that Trump winning is a coin flip, this was a result of Fox News, Talk Radio and most distressing manosphere podcasts for children, Newsom's son with a feminist author is a 13 year old Charlie Kirk brainwashed moron. The next generation are joining the cult from very early age, Campaign reform is not fixing this.
  24. This already happened see Trump I, but instead of capitalizing with Biden we got a "gee whiz lets all get along" putz
  25. That is why the plane story is so important that penetrated the veil because it kept getting on the news, people don't understand cryptocurrencies and people bemoaning how the plane made the news and not the giga corruption makes me angry. Flood the plane story, stop being so god damn pedantic. Only once the plane story dies bring it up again, and when finally they tell you to shut up about it bring up the crypto scandal.
