Those bars are actually a framework holding up mirrors… the sign addresses the alt-righteous… and “him” is a reflection of those alt-rights’ inner child…
Definition of woke (from Merriam and Webster) chiefly US slang
“aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) "
It seems that Little Mikey is greatly opposed to anyone being aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
Who is more fragile, the person Mendacious Mike portrays in the exhibit, or the person carrying on about their liberty because they are being told they have to wear a mask to come into a store? Or the parent screaming at the School board because their kid is being taught the real history of America’s racist past? Or the cop who can face down a criminal, but can’t handle getting vaccinated for the good of the public they serve?
I might piss off a “wokester”, but the worst that will happen is that I’ll get “cancelled” (big deal). I can’t say that about the others I mentioned.
Yep. It’s downright life-threatening to have to deal with people on their own terms. Unless you’re one of the ones on the outside of this cartoon cage, in which case it’s not just safe, it’s NECESSARY to treat them exactly as THEY prefer.
“There are some monstrous things when from a very young age, you teach to children that the boy can easily become a girl and you impose on them this selection, this choice,” Putin said. “You push the parents aside and make the child take these decisions that can destroy their lives.”
You know things are bad when the despot is less crazy than your own government.
Not the increasing ferocity of storms and wildfires.
Not the huge divide between the wealthy and the middle class.
Not the aging US infrastructure.
Not the bloated military budget.
Not the idiotic conspiracy theories rocking the country.
Not the monomaniacal negative impact of Facebook’s algorithms.
Not the crisis in early education.
Not the awful processed foods that lead to obesity and illness.
Not the destruction of democracy by systematic disenfranchisement.
Not the authoritarianism displayed by their malignant narcissist cult leader.
Not the gun violence that has infected the country.
Not the crazy immigration laws that allow employers to go free while demonizing immigrants.
Nope. None of that matters to the regressives.
They are concerned with those who are trying to be tolerant of others. Does the left go too far with this stuff? Yes. Does being “woke” matter? Not really. The regressives focus on the stupid stuff while our country faces real crises. Very sad, tragic, really.
""It’s been said in the press that I was invited to speak to transgender employees at Netflix and I refused," Chappelle, 48, told the audience. “That is not true. If they had invited me I would have accepted it. Although I am confused about what we are speaking about… You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix. Well it seems like I’m the only one that can’t go to the office anymore.”

He just wants inequality and injustice for all.

It’s pretty amazing what Trump Disciples like Lester are afraid of these days — besides democracy, governing, and Those People, I mean.

Treat other as you wish they would treat you if you were in their shoes. Is it so hard to try to be nice to others?

Mike, I just love it when you troll the bots and detractors that hang here. Those guys will pee on your tires and then say a beagle did it.
