HAHA About a year or two ago, a now former friend of mine was telling people I was "one hundred percent" behind a Buffy reboot, which was not true. Still, I did think that if they got the right director and cast involved, it could be great. And it will be. Suck it, hater!
@Suzy_1776@BarbraStreisand No, no. See, she wants us to care that she is *threatening* to leave the United States, as though anyone but her gives a damn about that. See also: Streisand Effect.
To me, “woke” is indicative of any ideology that sacrifices logic, reason, rational thought, wisdom, knowledge, history, and facts on the altar of socio-political agendas. For example, when we as a society start to rationalize the idea that biological sex is somehow a subjective cultural construct, and not a scientific fact, we are doing ourselves a great injustice. The inability for many people to define what a woman is means that we are collectively losing our grasp on reality.
We cannot start redefining words and their meanings simply to make a small portion of the population feel more validated in their subjective experience. We can, and should, love them and want the very best for their lives. They should have the freedom to live their adult lives however they see fit, so long as it’s not infringing on the rights of others. But that should never include turning our backs on objective truth to do so. We can both love and support them, AND hold firm to what we know is fact. These concepts are not mutually exclusive. 🙏
@Forbes The real question is: why are landlords charging ridiculous prices for properties they refuse to maintain? I think that would be a much better article.
