The only things I'm really afraid of with the woke brigade are how they tend to go after people's jobs and family members over the smallest of slights, putting your real name out there and associating it with all kinds of slander, for any potential employer to find from a quick Google search. If I call the wrong person a faggot under a name that can get back to me, I can not only get banned and lose access to the platform in which we were on, but that could be saved and found by anyone any time I'm job hunting - which is hard enough already, considering I'm not too keen on taking out another five-figure loan to try for a bachelor's degree.
But there really is a huge silent majority that hates this shit, just look at how popular Dave Chappelle's new special is. The people running those businesses might hate the woke brigade too, but the crazies do tend to have psychotic, dominant personalities that gravitate towards positions of power, like with HR, so they can shape the world as they see fit. Combine that with how skittish so many businesses are, afraid of offending anyone, and you get this mess where the slightest bit of levity can get you in huge trouble. The law of the land is determined by whomever is most capable of destroying everyone, and our natural preservation instincts keep most people from standing up against that tyranny. Sure, you and I might have the courage and knowledge to stand up against tyranny, but when we have no leverage in the company and no other employees want to stand with us for fear of losing our jobs, we just look like paper tigers. Paper tigers that could be replaced with much more docile employees, willing to take whatever crap gets thrown their way. And with the USA's ever-increasing population, there's always some other slack-jawed faggot willing to take your place for less than what you're making.
I think it'll pass sooner rather than later. That infamous Gillette ad which lost the company
EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS happened because some rétarded marketing executive genuinely thought that was a good idea. Woke culture has infiltrated all sorts of businesses everywhere, with a smattering of maniacs getting hired to make ads, and those maniacs make ads targeted at their own niche communities, thinking they can piggyback on whatever products they're selling to push their loaded ideology on the rest of the world. It sort of worked as they introduced it slowly over the past couple of decades, but their spaghetti flew out of their pockets as soon as Trump ran for president, which set forth an enormous shockwave of unbridled insanity before he was even elected. Even when it looked like he would lose, those maniacs still couldn't stop talking about what a bad president he would be. Like him or hate him, Trump really has been a major catalyst to get those maniacs to screech about nonsense openly and without shame. It's just incredible how many of them there are, and how much power they claimed.
Regardless, no business worth their salt, no matter how big, could ever be comfortable with losing eight billion dollars. It crippled the long-running Gillette brand for an entire generation. That kind of news gets shared around the world, and no other business in their right mind could ever see that and think to risk their entire brand with some bizarre idea that all men are already pussy whipped, and masculinity is taboo. That same kind of marketing was used in the lead-up to Ghostbusters 2016, and surprise surprise, the movie flopped. There was even a new
Ghostbusters movie announced this year with the very first announcement making it clear that it would be a follow-up to the original two movies, while completely ignoring 2016.
Woke culture is a load of bullshit that will finally be defanged once enough major corporation get sick of losing billions of dollars because they trusted their entire business' reputation to 350lbs purple haired 20-something women with cat eye glasses.
I mean, you're right on some but on the others, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Visa, Mastercard and Verizon even are all dedicated to 'combating hate'. These are basically the essentials (for the most part) of modern life. We're two steps away from people getting kicked out of their bank for saying faggot. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the crunch will hit them. I just see billions of dollars of the most powerful people on Earth who approve and endorse these tactics and aren't afraid to yank your speech, ability to make a living or anything else about you in seconds.
I don't think this ideology goes down easy. What I'm saying is that these people are delusional. They are insane, mentally ill drug addicts. They lock themselves in rooms with each other and self-reinforce their delusion until their only negotiation is destroying you. You cannot comprimise with irrational drug addicts who will use anything they say against you, with the support of billionaires.
You're talking about the same group who started a mass hysteria in the 80s that got innocent kids put in prison and still was launching harassment campaigns well into the 90s against anyone who offended them be it games,comic books,rock music and even movies.
Look up Mike Diana to see just how "tolerant" the RR was at the peak of it's power in the early 90s.
The only reason Evangelicals are more forgiving now is they've spent the past decade getting their shit kicked in by the Left.
An they lost their power because of it. But I don't see these people losing their power at all. All I see is a push for more. More delusional drug addicts forming bubbles and mobs to satiate themselves on their drug of choice, backed up by billionaires and millionaires who seek to make everywhere a sanitized hell. At least when the Right collapsed, the entirety of media wasn't on their side. They're getting as vicious, if not more.
Mike Diana seems to be similar to 8chan. Generally unpalatable for normies, blamed on crimes that were non-existent. Obscenity cases also still occurred under Democratic and Leftist rule. Diana's also a weird one because there was an open murder case.
Anyway, just religion in general I guess. Still, they did not have billion dollar tech corporations scrubbing any opinion they wanted for them. Even if they would have used them in such a way.
The tech for this kind of scorched earth social attack didn't exist when the Religious Right were in power. They would have absolutely used it if it was. I don't want to powerlevel, but I personally know people who had their lives torn apart by churches they weren't even in (small towns can really suck).
But seriously, if you're this tilted by REEEra right now, you should probably take a break from the internet for a while, and if you seriously think that SJWs are some kind of existential threat that will inevitably victor and consume modern society- go join the Amish. Not even joking.
I don't think that they will. I think the thing is most troubling is their use by mass media and massive, billion dollar corporations as their hammer. They've always wanted to control people, but now they can use this cloak of tolerance and bash your face in.
Every morality movement in the United States has failed, that's a fact. The problem is just that the technology right now and the isolation of any opinion except the 'right' one is unprecedented.
I'm sure they were, and that brutality marked the end to the right's power. The problem is I see this ideology become more brutal by the day, and nothing is getting done. There's really no waxing. I don't the ideology is bound to consume anything. Humanity always pushes back, but what consequences are we going to face from that? Corporations seek to sanitize everything for profit. Now we have to deal with their morality. Obviously, its not the SJWs or cancel culture that's feared, its the billion dollar corporations who back them and are creating this culture that worries me. That encourages this sort of thing. I can laugh at the dangerhairs. What I don't laugh at are corporations adopting this morality and getting inevitably bailed out when they fail.
How a den of pedophiles is perfectly fine but we have to make our own fucking ISP and we're the Nazi scourge of the internet, leaving hordes of dead trannies in our wake.
A widespread authoritarian movement that has gained little political traction in countries that weren't authoritarian to begin with (looking at you, UK and Canada) and are used as a cheap marketing gimmick otherwise?
Anyone who seriously thinks that BK slapping a rainbow on their Whoppers to tard cum a bit more cash out of marks means they support SJW thought is on crack.
If you think this is what I'm talking about, you are absolutely wrong. What I'm talking about is a simple whisper ending your life. I'm talking about how having the wrong ideology bars you from payment providers, hosts, the internet itself. How mob-like rule is tacitly endorsed by mega corporations and even some cities. See Berkley and Portland ANTIFA.
I'm talking about the lecture I got 3 days ago from a title IX committee that defined leering as sexual assault or harassment. Fucking looking at someone wrong is now a reportable offense.
Nobody gives a fuck about rainbows on whoppers or gilette commercials or where some tranny takes a shit. I'm talking about an obsessive minority that has effectively and successfully silenced the majority with the weight of the biggest companies on Earth behind it. They don't want your forgiveness. They want you gone. I'm talking about suicide rates for men not seen before in history. I'm talking about men and women being isolated from each other because they're too fucking terrified to do anything because if a third party decides to be a tattle tale, they both lose their jobs.
I am talking about an ideology where there is no penance, there is no forgiveness, there is no sympathy, there's just eradication. And its not on the fucking internet anymore. Do you know how many people I know of who dread being alone with female students an hour after class? Or seen with them when the sun is setting? Or want to have an office that's visible from ten different directions so they have a witness? This shit is not on the internet. Its real. The fear is fucking real. I've seen a guy fired because he gave an external gmail account and a student accused him of harassing her with it. Despite there being no record of it, he was gone. Fired.
It goes far, far beyond Twitter. These people don't just take it there. They take it to your life. They call family, friends, whomever they can get their hands on. No apology matters. Begging doesn't matter. Zoe Quinn accused a game dev and he was fired in 30 seconds. There were no questions asked, no investigation. Just boom, gone. A whole career instantly destroyed because of accusations by a known sociopath, but backed up by every major media outlet in this country. Then he becomes a blood sacrifice and its still not enough. That should be national news. #MeToo results in a suicide. Nope. Doesn't play to their narrative. He was an abuser anyway. But we'll never know, now will we?
This has gone beyond Twitter. I can laugh at woke campaigns flopping on their face. Woke media fucking up. What I can't laugh at is those billion dollar companies propping up these very real people who ruin lives because other people are scared they'll be next. I look at this shit everyday. I had a male colleague pull me aside late at night because there was an obsessive, highly competitive student who wanted to talk to him and he needed me as a witness. I've had a female colleague have to clarify that she 'wasn't one of those' feminists. If you think this shit doesn't exist outside the internet, you're the one who is on crack. Billions upon billions are backing this up. Propping up this mob minority to force ideology onto us. Especially tech. Facebook fucking admitted it would ban you from its crypto if you had the wrong opinions. Try apologizing to a faceless creature and try to get your bank account back. Good luck.
There are people out there who can destroy your life with a lie. And once they're caught: Nothing. Your only recourse is a lawsuit, if you could afford one. You're just assuming I'm talking about fucktards. Nah. I see this shit all the time, and have been warned about it by higher ups, male and female to watch your ass (in general to me and my colleagues). They didn't want to say it, but you sure as hell knew what they implied.
That anyone could say anything about you, and there was fuck all they could do to help you. You could apologize, get down on your hands and knees. Nothing. You were gone. So I live in this atmosphere. I can't take a break from the internet and 'get away' from it.
