This Is the mere beginning, what the left want is so far beyond what we can even imagine.
So tired of this foreboding conspiracy crap of doom that the far Right is obsessed with 🙄
shareThat's when you know someone has lost their mind, they just go around claiming everything they dislike is insidiously destroying the world. Soon he'll be wearing a placard on a street corner shouting THE END IS NIGH
sharelol Game over man! Game over!

Not sure why you'd think woke-ism is dying when the anti-woke representative who recently competed in a presidential election lost so badly he had to accuse the other side of cheating.
shareThat's politics.
Woke-ism is predominantly a cultural issue. If it dies, we can move on. If it doesn't, it will, indeed, manifest as a political force.
Trump was the cultural anti-woke president. He won in 2016 because of a rejection of left-wing wokeness. Or are anti-wokers changing that story?
shareIt's not even a story. You made it up.
No one knew what wokeness was in 2016 except the woke idiots. People were too concerned with Mass Immigration and ISIS.
Suuuure. Nobody was saying people only supported Hillary because she was a woman. Except the woke crowd, right?
🙄
No, they were saying Hillary's only platform was "I'm a woman, vote for me!". Nothing to do with wokeness.
shareWell there you go. "I'm a woman, vote for me" was the label the anti-wokers gave her platform.
In reality, her platform was a continuation of the Obama administration.
Oh, by the way, has "Obama won because he was black" also been removed from anti-woke history?
Woke didn't exist in 2008 either. Fucking A, why are you so stupid?
shareYes, but under his presidency it only got worse.
Trump was not the man we hoped for. Frankly, that was obvious from the beginning.
The swamp was always going to drain him.
That's why I don't think anti-wokeness is a trend that's thriving. It feels like it's losing. The Swamp was Obama's cronies that Trump replaced with his own. He replaced Fannie and Freddie with Goldman Sachs.
Also, there's not a clear definition of what woke-ism is. It can be any opinion any conservative doesn't like at any given moment. It can be a comment on twitter, or it can be the director of Captain Marvel 2. Anti-wokeness has jumped the shark IMO.
I think it's pretty clear what it is.
There are some on the left, however, (and you sound like one of them) who feel compelled to defend it as a kind of instinct despite finding it equally absurd.
Ironically, it dies when the left find the confidence to agree it's more harmful than good.
From what I've seen, the majority of wokeness we are seeing are capitalists trying to improve the outlook of their companies.
Companies maximize profits by reaching out to all cultures. The anti-wokers huff and puff about it, but don't have the numbers to impact those companies' profits.
Between the hours of 11pm and 7am. Then it’s all about sleepism
shareNo, it won't because it's called Progress.
It's that nagging voice that says -- you aren't treating people right. You should be better.
A British hospital just announced that they will now say 'chestfeeding' rather than 'breast feeding' to be trans inclusive.
The British government just announced that it's okay to call women who have babies... mothers.

That's progress?
If a person took a long break from the internet, they wouldn't even know about it at all. I'm almost at that point.

That was, briefly, a comforting notion for many conservatives and centrists. On Twitter, for example, you will often hear the phrase 'Twitter isn't the real world' but I fear Twitter is, however, actually a very good metric when it comes to the direction society is going in.
It would be more accurate to say Twitter isn't the real world... yet.
