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.
Being woke is looking at the system critically. It’s not taking what you’re told at face value, it’s examining your own beliefs and the beliefs of society about the system
It’s pretty ironic the way most are using the word
The main reason people use that word negatively is that they got no fucking clue as to what it means.
Woke is good thing but people have made it something bad, and by people I do point to the right.
Woke people made it bad by their constant petty paternalism, and authoritarian bullying.
The mixture of narcissism and thinking they are always morally superior beings has created this situation.
Those are SJWs, who are generally not very woke. They embody the (false) stated morality of the system, which is very un-woke
A woke person would recognize the system is built to turn us against each other, and not play into it
Politicians, especially republicans, have tried to make it a bad word for the sole purpose of keeping their sheep in line. They ONLY want them listening to pod casts for all their information and believing every single thing they hear.
That’s how that entire republican party likes their people so they can feed them misinformation and have it not be fact checked. It’s like the easiest way for propaganda to be used as a weapon.
Turn the idiots against fact checking lol.
