Claims to be a leftist

Uses the term "woke" unironically

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Angel@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

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

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 71 points 2 years ago

anti-queer and anti-black primarily, that's the axis these patsoc dipshits base their politics on

[-] axont@hexbear.net 65 points 2 years ago

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.

Patsocs also always hate homeless people, for some fucking reason

I wish I could go back in time and stop the word “woke” from entering the white people cultural zeitgeist

[-] taiphlosion@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] taiphlosion@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

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"

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.

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

What does "woke" even mean anymore? It's just a buzzword like "SJW" or "politically correct"

[-] axont@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
