    Right wing kooks using the word woke is actually pretty funny. The rest of us are just out here thinking that perhaps everyone should be able to live with a modest amount of dignity and these dudes think it’s some magic spell we’re chanting.

    Fuggen’ “wokeism” kills me every time! What on earth does that mean to them??

      They can’t even define it. Remember the author who wrote an entire damn book about wokism, and she couldn’t even define “woke” in a live interview for which she had ample time to prepare.

      I’m starting to think their brains are wired differently. They don’t think, they just react to stimuli.

        It’s not that these people can’t define “woke” it’s that they do not ever want to admit (either out loud or just to themselves) they are racists or complicit in being assholes to entire groups people. The word “woke” is the wallpaper that can never be peeled back for exposing the mirror behind it.

      I just thought it was the evolution of the social justice warrior pejorative.

      Look at this SJW, complaining about cops shooting civillians without trial.

      They don’t know, they just want some “ism” of their own to throw at the people calling them out for being the racist, sexist, and homophobic fascists that they are.

      Like his wealth, which he did not meaningfully earn, but still gets to use, benefit from, and control.

      IMHO, that dork hates wokeness because it’s a movement of human to human empathy, and you can’t have a compassionate society and billionaires at the same time.

    Good to know he’s also confidently incorrect about humor theory.

    If humor required some intuitive truth then entire genres of comedy wouldn’t work including absurdism, surrealism, and most wordplay.

    Also some of the funniest shit I’ve ever heard relied on “wokeism”. There’s a lot of dark humor in struggling against bigotry.

    Elon musk is that kid who thinks he’s bullied for being a nerd when hes actually being mocked and not included because he’s a bigoted asshole whose idea of humor comes from 4chan

    We should remind Elon Musk about his inflation tweet.

    Tell him to search for Elon Musk Inflation.

      See if your lemmy client lets you block arbitrary strings so these posts get hidden automatically, wherever they are from.
