Ever wish you was less woke, informed etc?

I see people that only watch the news to check the weather or see a big car wreck and they seem so much happier.

Goddamn, I'm hearing dudes on a reggae radio going on about how much they love Trump and praying for him to make it to office alive, 'cause everyone in Hollywood is "sick in the head" and planning "something".

Got Mine brothas out in full force.

It's like having insight in bloodborne. The more you know how the world works, the worse it gets.

To echo Gordon, Ignorance is Bliss. You go about your day, focus on your day to day and fuck the world. It's a simple existence and you find stuff like console wars to get enraged about instead of how fucked up the president-elect is. The truth is, not everyone is wired that way. Some people can't accept only caring about trivial things or simply accept what is told to them.

I guess the question is, what do you do with that knowledge?

What's the saying?

To be woke in the current climate is to be in a constant state of discontent or something or another

I don't wish I was ignorant about any of this, though. It's motivation

Better to know and be prepared, than be blindsided by bullshit. Always strive to be kind and open to learning, and spread that wisdom to others. Knowledge is power and all that.

Not in this situation.


I do wish my mind didn't function primarily on a macro scale though because it turns everything into bullshit when you realize that events move in a circle that no one seems to notice or learn from.

I'm glad i see the bs loud and clear. Our mission is to keep the dream alive. Progress will be made. More people will wake up in due time. Not everyone but we ain't here for that.

Please, God?

All these constant scandals and rumors and what not that I would love to post and show my friends, but I don't want to constantly bombard them with that stuff because it seemingly happens every other day, and it gets tiring real fast. Just need him to somehow get impeached already, that'd be the big one lol

I do think there is a balance though. Can't let it consume your every living moment. Your life would be miserable. I know people like that. Can't enjoy a Popeye's 2-piece without thinking about effed up shit. Use that knowledge to be prepared and not blindsided, but live life too.

So there's being woke and being an insomniac?

lol...That's one way of putting it. I tell him he is going to die before 50 worrying about shit all the time. Dude can't even enjoy the blessings he does have because he is woke. Hell, I am sure even Gandhi stopped and smelled the roses from time to time.

If this golden shower on the pres' bed shit ends up being true, that's some next level antebellum racist shit. If this turns out to be true, Trump was probably literally raised with Nazi ideals.

Whatever the case, I doubt I'll ever be able to take white leadership seriously again in my lifetime.

I highly doubt it's true, but Trump is such ain't shit that it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

He lit the fire under the birther movement, he can afford to be pissed on imo

randomly heard the best description of the Justice league movie in a random video from my Youtube recommendations:

"It looks just like the Justice League movie that would have been greenlit a week after the first X-Men opened, and it would have looked terrible then too, for all the same reasons."

One of the struggles of being woke is realizing your dad has been a hotep the whole time. This dude is straight up telling me not to date a black woman because they're too "headstrong" or "bossy". I love ny dad to death, but he says some sexist crap.

My folks have said some shit about dating Asians, black women and latinx. Plenty of anti-semitism leaked into those talks, too. Shit had me beyond embarrassed.

My mom used all lives matter unironically before I had a talk with her about that

My dad has straight-up said "black lives don't matter" and "thank God for the police" on more than a few occasions.

Where the anti-Semitism come from???

My parents are very poor people. They have ranted about banks, bills and "the people controlling the world in Satan's name" for years.

Do the math.
