The far right is constantly warning that if you go woke, you’ll go broke. But when it comes to the new Barbie movie, they couldn’t be more wrong.
Barbie, which follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) as they leave Barbie Land to explore the real world, earned a whopping $162 million in its opening weekend, Variety reported Monday. This is the biggest opening weekend of the year, and the biggest opening weekend for a female director ever.
The film had already made $22.3 million at the domestic box office from Thursday previews, the biggest preview haul of the summer. It blew the previous record of $17.5 million (made by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in May) out of the water.
Please explain to me what is woke…oh a bunch of things you hold predjudice to but won’t admint to properly
My definition of woke, if you ever need it:
When a person who enjoys an entitlement advocates for other to be allowed to do the same for no personal gain.
If anyone ever criticises ‘woke’ - especially in a group - I always, always press them for their definition. Not examples; definitions.
Thank you. Exactly this
It reminds me of a story I tell of a lady on FB or whatever cancer portal and she was saying that it’s bullshit that an “illegal” in line at the grocery store who “doesn’t work” gets $800 a month for doing nothing
First of all, being able to look at someone and knowing their citizenship status is an amazing talent. Secondly, this lady who lives in a town where the median income is $100k was pissed that someone made less than $10k a year
Tonhwe, she was mad that the income gap for her family was only like $190k instead of $200k. If that person made $0 their lives wouldn’t change one but. They’re just that petty
Originally the term meant in the black community to be awake and watch out for racist cops and officials.
The right didn’t like that of course and appropriated that word, redefining it as positive discrimination of non-white and women so all something that should be stopped and went from there to mean anything vaguely leftists or non-conservative values.
So it doesn’t have one fixed value. By now it’s just a political term that makes people angry but nobody really knows why.
The west has fallem
Liberalism is the core ideology of the historical “west.” The “west” you want isn’t the “west” that ever existed and your problem is the core defining feature of “western” nations
