I gotta defend woke a little bit. It was a term used in the black community long before social media where it was co-opted and overused .
Did we turn on JK Rowling too?
my goodness
Have you not seen her post transphobic shit, the UK equivalent of #WalkAway type sentiments, and accusations of the political left being antisemitic because some of them are critical of Israel? She's off her rocker.Did we turn on JK Rowling too?
you lot...
She's regularly a shit head. Pay more attention.Did we turn on JK Rowling too?
my goodness
#WalkAway? wtf?
So basically, as you would use it, alt-right has no meaning at all. That's also the only way you could fit George Carlin into that category.
You don't seem very familiar with Carlin. No, that is extremely unlikely.
She didn't use that exact hashtag but it was the same kind of sentiment, a weird tirade about how Labour is evil and she can't support them for a bunch of wacky reasons.
Fuck out of here. This is the type of shit I hate. When did I say I don't see color? The problem with your type of attitude is you attribute malice where there isn't any either. When did I say I wasn't an "ally" or suggest I support any regressive and racist rhetoric? I don't need to preface all of my posts with everything I support. I know where my morals and values stand. They're progressive by all measures. I have no idea how saying I judge people on an individual basis WITH NO SPECIFIC EXAMPLES says I "don't see color" or support alt-right rhetoric.
No one is asking you to. I don't even have an active Twitter account. It's pretty easy to come across by just being on the internet.
Lol you're really using this time to shit on George Carlin of all people? Someone who already died and never outted himself as a raging racist or bigot? Like, what dude?
George Carlin is dead, so he won't be turning into anything. His attacks were so often punching up that it's a bit silly to see him reconceptualized as a right winger.
Clearly, it isn't as I didn't come by it. THe internet a really big place, it is unreasonable to expect everyone is clued up on everything that happens in it.
I mean most of the stuff I read right here a Era or back on GAF when the articles/Tweets were posted.
he absolutely was considered that by both his fans and people who hated him
Good post.
It's a bit of slightly dated slang from the nineties used to describe a specific form of white flight: older white folks leaving northern more "urban" areas in favor of, say, a Floridian gated community more in line with their own values. Thus we have the proverbial goose flying south, "goosn" as it were.
Left leaning bigots are real. They don't buy into the white hetero male supremacy orthodoxy like right leaning people (from the United States) do but they still have hangups about certain protected classes and basically shape the underlying bigotry that hinders leftist politics.
Didn't us The Blacks use "socially conscious"? When did woke happen?
Unfortunately I think it's propagating from altright shit heads on Twitter trying to force a whataboutism
Hmm, I really shouldn't be surprised.
I actually was just posting my own two cents on the topic rather than replying to you. I jumped the gun and replied before reading the rest of the thread. Sorry for the confusion.
