Didn’t watch, but I have to say I am super anti-woke in the morning; I really, really love sleep.
The only anti-woke cap I respect:
Why were those ever a thing?
It’s fashion, daggermoon, you wouldn’t get it
Because houses were cold af in the winter.
Yeah. Being woke requires you to be aware of what is happening.
Superman just shows up, and says “TIME TO SAVE PEOPLE!!!”. But he in general doesn’t know anything.
To be woke, he’d need knowledge of WHY the orphanage is on fire. He just happened to be flying around, saw a fire, and saved the orphans.
He’d be much angrier if he knew the orphanage was on fire because state legislatures cut funding to support the orphanage all so some dipship govenor can buy a 6th yacht.
The latest one smashed a few planes and tanks, and dropped a dictator on a cactus. I don’t think he was just stopping by for a rescue.
I didn’t know superman had wings and swung a mace around.
I mean… he is also a reporter and a genius. Chances are he’s well aware of inequalities.
Superman got his start beating up slum lords. That’s not a joke. Superman started out as the sort of guy who rooted out corruption. The “aw, shucks” version of Superman is both a bit of a later development (and also kind of the persona that he takes on as Clark Kent)
The Netflix ‘daredevil’ season 1 really did a much better version of this.
He’s all too aware. As powerful as he is, he doesn’t have the ability to solve everyone’s problems everywhere all the time. This is a source of tremendous grief for him. That’s the whole reason he’s a compelling character and not just wish fulfillment.
I mean, ge did try to solve all the problems once, that lead to the injustice story.
Wife woke, phones woke, kids woke
Not raping and howling slurs? Woke
please just let me snooze for 10 more minutes, I’m so tired
Beat me to it
I know what they were using it for.
On the one hand, his arch nemesis is an extremely wealthy CEO, so was ahead of its time in that regard. On the other, Superman refuses to do harm, even to him, when the truly woke would eat such a person in a heartbeat.
This is now the bar for me accepting Superman as woke. He is gonna have to guillotine Lex Luther. If he just Karate chops his head off, I will let that count as well.
didnt the version of superman that killed Lex Luther also create an evil authoritarian state?
That Superman killed the Joker because the Joker killed Lois.
He seems delightfully woke to me.
Superman fought Nazis and the KKK.
Okay I’m a geek but sometimes I think ‘what would Superman think?’. And usually leads to a better outcome. Okay to be fair never done it myself, but I thought of it often when some democratic country made decisions and … What with the big S think? I would not want to be on the side of that ‘democratic’ country, and lets me understand their actions suck balls.
Yes I know it’s fiction but when the best hero you can think of does the opposite of some country’s actions, what can you think of such country?
Truth, justice, the American Way. Used to mean something, now that t means, I got mine have fun getting yours.
See, that’s the secret. Truth and Justice were always a fairy story sold to keep the workers working, it’s always been about the rich and powerful getting theirs and fuckin’ keeping it that way, for the entire 250 years.
It didn’t suddenly become what it is, it suddenly became a lot less subtle about it. Trump is a braggart above almost all else, he can’t help but prop up his fragile ego whenever the chance arises. Thus, what used to go unsaid is now, “Look what I did!, Look, please! Tell me how clever I am, please Mommy!”
Woke means “aware of systemic inequality”. It’s been part of the English language for a hundred years, and the definition hasn’t shifted much.
When a Republican says they’re “anti-woke”, they mean that they are in favor of hiding systemic inequality, because they want to preserve it. They’re usually using the word correctly, even though they’ve failed to define it explicitly.
That’s because the current iteration of Republicans rely on a perceived system of social hierarchies. There are in groups and out groups. The quiet part out loud is that inequality is the outcome being sought not some unfortunate byproduct of the system they intend to implement.
It’s the same as anti-antifa
Used to mean. Now means just not being maximally gratuitously evil. Like get you thrown out of the RPG group evil.
It’s the new “politically correct”. Like a good political slogan it means whatever the listener wants it to mean. Political impressionism? Conservative groups knew they hit the jackpot with PC and have been trying to replicate it for years. “Social Justic Warrior” flopped, too wordy. “Woke” really worked for them
Person: Doesn’t do a hate crime
Conservatives: And I took that personally!
Woke is a brilliant and evil political manipulation tool. As a conservative politician, you never have to state a position on any topic anymore. You just say you’re against all the woke stuff and your captive idiots just assume you agree with them. They hear exactly what they want to hear.
The unemployed auto sector worker believes “woke” means Chinese EVs.
The bigots believe “woke” means allowing gay people to exist.
The wealthy believe “woke” means making rich people like them actually pay taxes.
It’s a shortcut around actually saying anything of substance. You can get two people whose agendas are completely opposed to both believe that you are on their side because they both accept that “woke” means the thing they hate. And since you just said that you hate “woke”, then you hate the same thing they do so they will support you through anything now.
Woke is the new ‘unamerican’ label, which was used to criticize protests, equality, etc.
Yeah “Woke” is basically how “Trotskyite” was used during Stalin’s regime. Everyone they don’t like and opposes them just gets the label. It’s a word they can use to give their followers permission to hate someone without having their followers use their own fucking brains.
In the 90s it was “political correctness.” Then it was “critical race theory.” Then it was “woke.” Now it’s “DEI.”
What hasn’t changed is the people spouting off this bullshit- Americans have had 30 years or so to deal with them and refuse to. When the victims can potentially be armed to the teeth, it’s hard not to victim blame.
This is why their interlocutors should always be asking what they mean by woke but apparently that’s too hard for a journalist
I think we should take back control of the term ‘woke’. Be woke and proud. Have blue hats with WOKE on them, stuff like that.
The MAGA’s have made ‘woke’ a bad thing and they are controlling the narrative around it now. Originally Woke was a positive word. I think we should go for reappropriation.
its too ingrained in maga-society now, since its thier primary concern of policy nationally.
And with that in mind - Superman is absolutely woke.
My (ex-army) boss once asked me, not long after I started this job, and in a kind of loaded way, if I was “woke”. I unhesitatingly replied “I’m woke as fuck”, which stopped the conversation dead. :)
I want to get “Woke as Fuck” printed on a t-shirt.
👏 Well done!
Sounds like a great T-shirt idea! Especially in purple or something.
That’d be cool, if people started astroturfing the word so hard: hats with “WOKE” and a really cool eye logo, mysterious-looking, or even the Illuminati one, to confuse people. Spam memes and posts that associate the word with cool random shit that doesn’t have to make sense. Call GTA 6 woke, or whatever game MAGA loves woke, and do it convincingly there, it’d piss them harder. Creative jokes that are subtly aware of the absurdity of how that word is used. Whenever they call you woke, or mention the “woke virus” just counter it with goofy shit, be proud of it, say dumbass embarrassing cringe shit on purpose, that the woke disease enlarges your dick and gets you laid with babes, you cannot stop drowning in pussy since you got it, unlike incel MAGAs who still have to watch people like Andrew Tate because they are secretly gay. Be hypocrite, play dirty, do not give a fuck, be impossible to offend, and be incredibly offensive at the same time, even if you “betray” some of your beliefs, like sounding homophobic, be a mirror to them for fun, say shit they cannot escape from like economic realities, I have mentioned so many in my comments already.
You know who you are, you are doing it to shut them the fuck up for good, and for that you have to be more cynical than them, act it up, smile harder than they do; it isn’t hard if you really hate them like I do. Don’t let it consume you either, take breaks, do it only if it makes you laugh, not stress or piss you off further, turn your anger into something funny, while bullying them. They are literal pedophile apologists, Jeffrey Epstein Class supporters, cocksuckers with 6 teeth who applaud Nazis with 6 yatches, like Elon Musk. I was just a teenager and I became anti-MAGA hard when the “grab them by the pussy” scandal happened; I am a Mexican living in Mexico, that shit made me hate MAGA with a passion, and to see so many of them still around over a decade later, like, fuck that shit, bro, they know what they are doing, they know who they are too, and they are racist disgusting pieces of shit that only stagnate Humanity.
That’s what they deserve, that’s the language they speak: might and humiliation, trust me. AIs might tell you that we have to be nicer and shit, avoid violence, focus on voting, the law, jailing, educating people while being nice, but never forget who programmed those shits. Truth is, some people do need to get spanked to learn. You know how to measure that, you can be nice when teaching things to people that are genuinely curious or lost, but the MAGAs I am talking about, which is now the grand majority, are far beyond redemption already. They are openly proud Jeffrey Epstein Class supporters and pedophile apologists, genocidial, disgusting in every fucking sense. Never. Forget. That.
GTA is pretty objectively woke, the main character is usually a minority, different each time, diverse set of characters, commentary on corruption in politics, like it’s woke AF
100%, it just reminded me how a lot of right-wing people did get mad that a new protagonist will be a brown woman when the first trailer came out, and also a dude who thought the “Petty Forever” sticker in the last frame was a jab at LGBTQ communities, but it’s actually the name of the soundtrack’s singer they used, lol
They are so god damn stupid. If you ever hear someone say they miss old videogames because they weren’t political or “woke” or “feminine,” just go look at any top 10 sellers of the early 2000s or 90s, they are mostly Pokemon, the sims, final fantasy, nintendo games, etc. It’s so easy to mock them if they think sports games, cars and war games are manly; just call them gay for enjoying playing with men, sweaty men bouncing balls and touching each other. Collecting cars is like collecting handbags and shoes. They don’t fantasize about being Master Chief, they fantasize about having sex with him, with muscular strong men they always glaze, because they are in the closet. They used to call Nintendo games for “babies” and “women,” so, if the script flipped there, flip it back, who cares, lol. Whenever they complain about a protagonist being a woman, ask them if they prefer to stare at male ass or what.
When they attack women of color, like Lucia from GTA6 or Saga Anderson from Alan Wake 2 (I once argued with a moron in YouTube that said it was impossible for her to be black because her grandpa, Odin Anderson, was white; that them, the devs, casting a black woman “ruined immersion” because of that. Dude was trying to justify the blatant obvious racism I pointed out, and he just made it worse, he never stopped doubling down). They cannot tolerate Abby from TLOU, they glaze Joel who was a mass murder and a massive piece of shit too, as it was revealed in the level “Pittsburgh” of the first game, here’s the wiki’s summary: “Over the years, the pair (Tommy and Joel) survived by descending into a sinister way of life. Joel deceived and killed innocent people, becoming a hunter. He adopted tactics such as tricking passersby into thinking he was hurt so he could ambush them when they let their guard down.” The game is simply trying to show you how complex people are, but these guys just can’t see it at all, like, they don’t have to like Abby or hate Joel, no, but at least understand what is trying to be told. They make it sound as if the devs were malicious and just killed Joel for “no good reason” or because “woke.” Joel Miller and all the Texans or young men who feel like they are a Joel Miller can go kiss my hairy ass. He is no different from any of my local Mexican narcos or mafiosos, man, they are all family people, they are all very charismatic in private with their friends and family, including their own “Ellies”, daughters, sons… Does that mean I should glaze them? Fuck no. What the fuck?
They glaze Walter White who killed millions of innocent people with drugs, while they hate Skylar for reacting with disgust to THAT. Like, come on. If Walter was so smart, he would had made the money doing something legit, chemistry-related, or work with Elliot, whatever his name was, swallow his ego, but he was a narcissistic moron, and so are all these dudes who also glaze the American Psycho protagonist and shit like that. Their ego is the most insecure and fragile one, the more I keep seeing small things like these, the whole Stellar Blade movement where they submitted their real identities (some did it jokingly, but a lot were dead serious), the more you realize how dumb they really are, and not just in videogames/media literacy, but everything.
Yeah I like that idea. Being totally unhinged. Which is what I am anyway 🤭
I’m woke as shit!
Tweet von @CasioWiser:Anonymous got that woke mind virus @elonmusk Antwort von @YourAnonNews: You fools throw around the word “woke” like it’s some kind of slur, it’s actually quite funny. You probably don’t know the meaning of the word, so let us school your tiny little mind. The word means that we’re alert to social injustices - such as racism and discrimination, that we’re cool with LGBTQ+ rights, we’re aware of economic disparities between the super-rich and working class, and that we’re cool with equal rights for all people. So - when you use it as a slur, we understand that you are against these things - that you are pro racism and discrimination, that you are not ok with LGBTQ+ people and you’re cool with the super-rich raping the working class - and that you’re not ok with equal rights. Don’t hide, just come out and say it - tell everyone you’re a Nazi.
Understanding is woke
Woke = Not asleep. Both in body and mind.
Nope, and if you ask them to explain what they mean by woke, they can’t.
To the average person, woke is just the new, more concise word for politically correct.
Understanding is woke
Woke is “them filthy non-whites and liberals workin hard and gettin everything that I should be gettin on a silver platter on the fact that im a pure bred american patriot!” while looking like an 8th generation result of rampant cousin fuckin.
Nah, it’s being trained on them like the words socialism or communist have been.
No, don’t use the edited version. The original is so much better.
