Woke is a made up term. It has no definition. It has no consistent meaning. It does not “depend on when you became politically conscious.” it depends on if you understand and recognize yellow journalism as a thought terminating practice rather than an intelligent one.
There is no debate here. The entire conversation in the article is based on a false perspective of history as determined by the propaganda written about it rather than true events.
This article might as well be titled, “Did Jews leave us worse off?”
Because it’s literally written from the same falsely framed perspective as that statement is, and you unfortunately carried it further.
Specifically, from your summary:
“The woke crowd created problems that pushed people away that may have mostly agreed with them.”
Is not a real thing that happened. This is history as perceived by its oppressors. You might as well be stating, “The Jews created problems that pushed people away that may have mostly agreed with them.”
That problem Jews created? Existing. The problem “woke” created? Existing.
Same with “Illegal Immigrants.” Same with “Trans” Same with every single marginalized group our current oligarchs can easily blame to shift the conversation away from them stealing your tax dollars through Reagonomics to start a international child sex trafficking network.
They’re framing history as if the actions of these people and concepts are bad, despite the bad actions ONLY existing within the Propaganda they created.
Did trans people create bathroom problems that pushed people into passing bathroom laws and banning them? Or did they exist at a time there was a constant stream of propaganda saying they were?
Okay. Now ask yourself the same about “woke.” Did they actually create problems? Or did their voices exist at a time when there was a constant stream of propaganda saying they were creating a problem?
That’s why there’s a negative shift in perspective between the 90’s and 2000’s. That’s when Fox News and post 9-11 conservative propaganda started. There was no magical political awakening. It was when the fairness doctrine died and letting idiots on TV say the dumbest most un-American and unintelligent things imaginable became legal. Now to the point where propaganda is the primary perspective coming from nearly all our news channels, so we as a society can no longer easily determine what’s real from what’s a paid talking point.
So that’s why Science is now questionable. Why our Education is now questionable. And the sustainability of our economy is now questionable.
Having intelligent discussions about all of those things was what “woke” started as. And our oligarchs hated that it always boiled down to them needing to pay more to improve them. So instead of paying for a country with better science, education, and a healthy economy, they paid to convince you all those things weren’t needed, or were under attack by “woke” and that’s why they were deteriorating.
So now we can’t have a sincere discussion about politics without needing to first overcome the needlessly unintelligent shit people believe is real.
Like the concept that “woke” pushed anyone away instead of the manufactured propaganda around it that did. We’re cooked if every political conversation needs to start with a discussion on whats real or paid propaganda, but here we are.
Logic doesn’t need non-NES sources.
You might as well be complaining my sources weren’t MAGA enough for you. Logic is immutable, that’s why my entire argument is constructed through comparison to MAGA.
You can’t say MAGA is bad without agreeing China is bad for the same reasons. You also can’t say China is good without agreeing MAGA is good for the same reasons.
That makes my comparison impossible to attack as untrue and why you are running from it as needing sources. I don’t need sources to see a square peg fits a square hole. I can just point out both are square shaped, which I have.
Same with “repeating things that have been disproven by basically by every Chinese person.”
That’s an assumption you’re making. You might as well be saying “repeating things that have been disproven by basically every MAGA.”
They have disproven nothing. They just say they have. Same as you. You are confusing opinions as facts, as long as they come from a Chinese source. Same as MAGA confusing Trumps opinions for facts if they come from a MAGA source.
Here’s China banning a Winnie the Pooh movie from releasing there:
Here’s an explanation for why they banned it that will likely get you arrested for reading:
On that note, by all means research the above on your own internet from non-NES sources, and see what you find. I’m sure your results will be completley unbiased as only the “BEST” results have been pre-chosen as available for you to read.
Go look up Liu Xiaobo and then explain how your result is the “BEST” at describing his work and who he is.
