It’s a lot easier than working to solve problems.

The real answer is that it's the college's. Stop fucking making this more complicated than it is.

Google "gibsons, Oberlin college" and get educated.

I highly suggest most of you stop using drudge report and forums as your source of info and learn how the world is working.

 

[Super Mario]

It's all about the Trojan Horse effect. No company really gives a shit that fat, mentally-ill, black, trans, lesbians, should be able to adopt children. Rile people up with identity politics and how much of a victim they are, and they will vote for anything. Oh and by the way, ignore that small print in there. We control the media, so even if you read it, we will change the subject or throw up a distraction. Ever notice how everything favors the big businesses? The very ones celebrating all of this crap right now? Political power is part of the business model these days. If you don't play, you risk getting cancelled.

Republicans are not perfect, but they are the closest thing we have to the good guys. This country was founded on Republican principles far more than Democratic ones. It is a dangerous path we are heading down.

It is far easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled.

All i know is that it's happening everywhere in the west.

Its to stop Trump from winning At least thats why its going on now. The 4 trial date will be 2021 its set.

Social media has made people stupid and marxists have infiltrated all levels of society. The actual people revolting want the US gone and i wouldnt even call them americans. They have been indoctenated to hate everything about America and 10s of millions have been let in and then raised famalies without connection to real american history.

 

[GV82]

People tell me to ignore them, but I hate the fact that they are altering my media that I consume, I can handle small changes but when it goes too far thats when it pisses me off.

I can sense that it is slowly going to creeping into 2000ad (British comic home to Judge Dredd) now that if that starts to affect the live action TV new series they have been working on for quite some time, I’m going to be pissed off.

Years ago the comic it used to be offensive (as well as cheesy) even though you knew it was full of political stuff but as a kid that goes over your head, now it’s gotten tamer recently and I follow a lot of the newer artists & writers on social media & see their type of posts, some who are allegedly going to work on the new Dredd TV show & now doesn’t give me much hope for it before somewhere during the early seasons it goes woke, hopefully it doesn’t but we are living in this time, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Especially as some of it has creeped into the comic in very small spots but thats how it starts, like a damn virus.


As bad as it was in, some places at least we got Preacher series, ooh boy was that extremely offensive in places, good job it went by undetected, sure they would probably ban it in the future when the lame people discover it.


You know how I combatted the stuff I didn’t like in the UK in my Youth? I picked up the fucking TV remote & changed the Channel, I stopped buying the MagazInes or Comics, stopped reading books etc, I wasn’t one of those nerds who wrote to my local TV station to complain (these are just the modern version of those people) or in America it seems you guys had the whole prmc shit to deal with.

Basically this:


I'm from Norway but lived in Ireland for a few years and now in Romania. Trust me the difference between the two more developed countries and here (in culture) is staggeringly huge, nobody gives a shit about being woke here, and they are critical of woke Americans on national TV news. They have bigger problems here so don't have time for that shit. Norway is full on smitten by wokeness however.

thanks Canadian, nobody gives a shit what you think

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Ok so if you look at the world right now it's all full of this woke propaganda, every company is into it, Music industry, Hollywood, everything.


But why?

1. Non-white/non-Christian/non-Jewish groups chasing unearned respect.
2. Overly emotional girls.
3. People whose paycheck depends on conforming to SJW ideals.
4. Guys chasing pussy.

I think thats about it.

That's pretty much it. Scientifically speaking, the matter is quite clear. The human brain works to survive even when there is no danger. That means the brain is always creating new problems. Just google it, it's not fiction but fact.
This whole woke topic has two causes, based on the fact just mentioned. First, people are simply too well off and you "need" a new (common) problem. The second reason is not to have a goal in life or not to see a meaning in life. A goal or a meaning in life is nothing else than having a problem. When I solve a problem, I reach my goal or meaning.

In other countries, where there are still real problems that are clearly visible to everyone, this development does not exist. The same applies to countries or regions with a more "traditional" lifestyle. In this context, this does not mean that you have become antiquated, but rather that you are given values and morals that are often defined by your parents (or other, yourself, etc.). Morals and principles carry you through difficult times and determine the behaviour of a person, even if he is consciously not able to do so. Without strong principles and morals you are simply a victim of your emotions. And this has been well researched: If you only live by your emotions, you can assume that you are already mentally ill or will be very soon.

Ultimately, all this fits perfectly into the picture that mental illness is on the rise and people no longer have strong values and morals. So you could actually say that we are regressing as human beings.

Please remind me... that millionaire girl, which painfully resembles nazi propaganda girls from the known times, that crossed the Atlantic on a yacht to "fight climate change" who has "elected" her and then came with that great idea of "hey kids, what about skipping school on Fridays... in the name of the planet of course"?

Of all the woke overlord interference, this is the most obvious.


Oh and the current frontiers are on FB, companies withdraw from it... form one moth (I've heard Ben & Jerry did) to motivate it to do something for "hate speech" (as in "speech that woke ones hate")

I don't necessarily see the climate change movement as a major part of the wokeness movement, it's more the typical trendy do-goodness and trying to effect positive change through wilfully ignorant and inefficient means.

Those who are truly "woke" seek to censor, suppress, and in some cases even exterminate (antifa) those who disagree with them. The climate change movement are more interested in strict regulation coupled with new-energy innovations to limit the destruction of the environment, and while they often jump onto inefficient bandwagons like an uninformed mob (bio-degradable plastic bags and electric cars are often worse for the enviroment for example), they ultimately don't foam at the mouth with hatred at anyone who drives a SUV or owns stock in the Shell Corporation. And unlike the "woke" mob who believes there are 50 genders, there is actual science to back up arguments made by the climate change movement.

And like they bring up in the video, 'First World Problems' shouldn't be ignored, as they are very real issues that we need to learn how to navigate since today's third world will be tomorrow's first world and also have to deal with it, but at a MUCH larger scale (as major population densities are all in the third world). If we can't learn to balance things like social inequality, fringe alienation, and political division with individual freedoms, economic (capitalistic) opportunity, and level headed public forums in the west (which has had a slow buildup and hundreds of years of relative stability) what are the chances that countries that were once failed states led by strongmen and dictators will be able to in 30-some years?

 

[SentientStone]

Fight Club... but instead of fighting... they are Twitter warring.

But seriously I think the elites want a bit more chaos so they can justify more censorship and control over content. But also every culture and ideology and trend has a sweet spot... golden mean, once you pass it too much then there’s too much fake ego involved and it will morph into another form. If it does not evolve then shit will hit the fan until they wake up.

 

[supernova8]

It's the double standard that gets me. This (quite popular) Korean girl group has a song called "Yes or Yes" where the entire premise of the song is that the guy must [insert verb] the girl (whether it's date or have sex or whatever it is, purposefully vague). They even have lyrics like:

- "I'll say no to your no"
- "I'll respect your choice but I reject your rejection"
- "There's no letters N & O, I'll erase them from today"
- "To make it simple, whatever you choose you'll be with me"

Obviously this is totally hyperbolic (and satirical) and I don't believe the song is about coerced interaction with someone. It's meant to be romantic....

BUT imagine if it were a boy band, in this current woke climate they would be crucified.

It's like "Hey women you can do whatever you like including ogling and fantasizing about guys you have no chance at (as long as you believe trans women are women)"
"Hey men. Fuck off. Especially white men - really fuck off! Don't even look at me you rapist"

This explains the opinions of the most vocal far left, but doesn’t really explain why it gets traction among the wider public (inc companies).

I like this scene. It's basically talking about how rich people stay in power. They don't stay in power by sticking with one side.

 

[jackets with pockets]

Jews.

It's like in Germany before World War 2, but at an almost global scale, this time. "Thanks" to technological advancements.

Nothing good will come out of this, that's for sure. Not for anybody, including the Jews.

The idea that there are super powerful people controlling things in the background is not crazy, but it is not the jews. It is the most successful psychopaths and /or their descendants. Psychopaths come from every ethnicity. And yes, they actually do sit around a table and decide fates of nations.

Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder, CEO Social Capital and former facebook exec, has given a few revealing talks on his experiences near these locusts of power, and how evil is using new persuasive technologies to program billions. Listen to his talk at Stanford.

So, dont be a dumbass evil jew hater. 99% of jews are not psychopaths! Sure, Zuckerberg is one but so is Bill Clinton and that guywho runs china and Mr. Putin and Microsoft Nadella.

Humanity is a toddler that has just realised it is in a playpen and is wailing until a solution is discovered.

It has become clear that our habitat is limited and getting beyond it is very difficult / beyond our current abilities.

The Internet is our recently discovered collective voice but instead of coherent logic, we utter only emotion.

We have a lot of problems to solve and no easy path. It might take a while until we figure things out.

In the meantime - wailing.

it gets traction because these (faulty) operating systems are baked into every walk of life

This. It's not just the ideology they espouse though. These colleges are indoctrinating students AND sending them home with $50,000 of debt they will never be able to repay, because that money was used to pay for a worthless degree. I don't think your average college "educated" student these days could think of any solution out of the mess they are in except for communism.
