Midwestern Marx is a PatSoc
Claims to be a leftist
Uses the term "woke" unironically
I mean, there's a difference between using the word "woke" unironically as a bad thing vs as a good thing vs as a regular-ass participle, right?
The latter two I wouldn't doubt one as a leftist but the former is veryquite cringe
I wish the left, especially black leftists, could reclaim it, but it's seeming too far gone, unfortunately.
What the fuck does non-woke anti-imperialist even mean
anti-queer and anti-black primarily, that's the axis these patsoc dipshits base their politics on
They also tend to dislike service workers and teachers. Their perception of the working class masses are bearded white guys in hard hats and that's it.
Also it seems like these Midwestern Marx people are mostly college professors. When professors call something woke it's usually because they tried sexually harassing a student.
anti-black
You'd think they'd love imperialism, then
They very much do, they just like to pretend they don't for...idk, optics?
Patsocs also always hate homeless people, for some fucking reason
People who hate America and use the r word
rapscallion
"I want to have social welfare programs, but I also want to use slurs"
Can’t even describe how annoying the word woke is at this point
You can thank crackers for stealing our language
I wish I could go back in time and stop the word “woke” from entering the white people cultural zeitgeist
We need to gatekeep our language more imo, I know it's hard cause the internet gives people free access to our culture but I'm tired of this shit
Tiktok has been such a facilitator it’s unbelievable. Within a week or two a word I’ve never heard a single white person use will be a part of the average genZer’s/genAlpha’s lexicon. Plus they will then be called “meme words” 💀
I do not really care but something will always be uncomfortable about a 13 year old white kid saying rizz and gyatt in every other sentence.
gyatt
God I fucking hate this term so much it's not even a word it's just onomatopoeia 💀 we already have plenty of terms for ass/booty/cake
Language evolves and changes and I'm aware things change between generations but like damn man this feels like a complete regression. I blame capitalism
Wait at the risk of sounding incredibly old and white gyatt means ass? I thought it was supposed to be like an alternate phonetic spelling of "Got Damn"
Ugh. Didn't know much about this guy, got sus vibes from him. Never trust a midwesterner 
as a midwesterner, 
I'm starting a list
As a different midwesterner, you can trust me, but no one else
Midwestern Marx isn’t one person: https://www.midwesternmarx.com/staff.html
Looks like a list of reddit moderators
Oops! All academics
a bunch of philosophy and polisci dweebs and one guy that builds mansions
cool
Highlights are some dude who send a picture of himself when he was 12 years old (he looks like this as an adult: https://www.eurasiareview.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Profile-1-150x150.jpg) and some Jordan Petersen knockoff.
a friendly reminder that wisconsin has two of the most segregated cities in amerikkka. milwaukee has the worst de facto segregation. the county madison is in has the greatest racial disparity in education and i think for children in general.
MilwauKKKee and MadiSSon 
I'm gonna start using conscious again instead of woke, you crackers ruin fucking everything
Learn from the opening line of the Epic of Gilgamesh and start calling yourself a ｓｅｅｒ ｏｆ ｔｈｅ ａｂｙｓｓ
I read this xeet in the voice of Senator Armstrong
More specifically Gianni Matragrano's impression of Senator Armstrong but y'know
Anyways I have no idea who this is nor why I should care about their opinions
I don't think this has to mean patsoc, it can also just mean brainwormed anti-lgbt toolbag but left in every other regard. Patsoc specifically requires that national patriotism bullshit.
Lmao the blurb of one of their board members seems pretty fucking woke to me:
Calla Winchell is trained as a writer, researcher and a reader having earned a BA in English from Johns Hopkins University and her Masters of Humanities from the University of Chicago. She currently lives in Denver on Arapahoe land. She is a committed Marxist with a deep interest in disability and racial justice, philosophy, literature and art.
Gross
What does "woke" even mean anymore? It's just a buzzword like "SJW" or "politically correct"
It's starting to circle around two definitions.
One is the assumption that leftists want to force people's sexualities to change so no one is allowed to like blonde, white cis women with large breasts. Instead wokeness is said to promote black, trans, Latina, overweight women into the status of sexually desirable at the expense of white cis people somehow. As in, it's woke to have a black or trans model on the cover of a magazine.
The other definition is just anything conservatives don't like. Mostly it refers to saying black people are mistreated or that trans people exist. So it's woke to teach a class about American chattel slavery.
Nobody fears anyone who says the word woke. People don't avoid you out of fear, you're just cringe.
