The world of woke must be utterly terrifying


An endless minefield paved with eggshells that is only navigable on tiptoes.

There's no way anyone, no matter how 'sensitive to the feelings of others' can get through it without sooner or later being destroyed.

The hope is it'll get so impossible to follow that it'll burn itself out. It's already heading there. "Wokeness" is an impossible standard to uphold. It's the most self-righteous ideology in existence today, and it gets a little more self-righteous with each passing day until it'll become so goddamn self-righteous, no one will be able to live up to its standards. Like a virus that's too effective and kills its host along with itself before it has a chance to spread, it's just a matter of time before things can go back to normal.

Yeah it is self negating. It will eat itself.

I've heard talk on youtube from those who are still on the inside that movie studios are already shifting away from the "woke" crap, but it's been a very slow process, and will probably not have visible results until a few years from now. It's gotten so bad that even people who used to be able to get a job easily in "the 'biz" are unable to be employed anymore, and they're sick of it.

Most of them brought it on themselves. They helped unleash the woke monster that is now eating their careers.

It's like all the rich idiots that choose to support communism....until the new regime comes busting their doors down and confiscating all their assets, including their money, despite promises that their lavish way of life wouldn't change with the new regime. Shows you how much the champagne and limousine socialists/communists know.

It is indeed a minefield, but Whoopi didn't merely tiptoe into this one, she jumped in head first! What a totally ignorant, stupid, and narrow-minded comment to make!

reply

She thinks she is always the smartest, wisest person in any discussion.

reply

I wouldn’t know, really. I’ve never watched a minute of her stupid show and never would.

lol
all true
it really is a frightening world to live in - every single utterance could get you cancelled, especially in the future, when whatever it is that you say now may end up being on the prohibited list and cancel culture works retroactively.

reply

Yep. It's pure degeneration.
