People were rightly enraged. There was a lot that was beautiful about this spontaneous cry for justice. But the rage was into a vacuum. The "BLM" group itself were grifters and the Democrats were happy to suck up the energy. No org genuinely harnessed that energy for good.
It means the entire left-wing culture of self-righteous maximalism, moral accusation, and thought-destroying clichés that prevented and still prevent open dialogue about how the world actually operates and which agendas we should pursue. It deserves disparagement!
It doesn't seem especially controversial to say that there was a lot of unserious overreach from that era, even if that doesn't mean literally everything from that era was like that.
Woke 1 was, on some level, a disaster. There was massive organic desire for change, and we squandered it into a fascist reaction. That has to be confronted.
The number of people retreating to “but the intentions were correct” as a knee-jerk defense is alarming.
The unfortunate truth is that while many of the ideas of Woke 1 had merit, the sidelining of class issues allowed it to be corporatized, it became a haven for grift, it was weaponized by bad actors, and ultimately it ended in exactly zero substantive changes.
Angela: Lala, I cussed her out BAD.
Lala: Good, cause her mf-ing ass deserved it.
Angela: They can't air that on TV cause I was like F-F-F-B-B-B-B. So no one will be able to see that shit.
Lala: Oh well. You're gonna be able to talk about it. #bb28
Lala- You get HoH, I'm cool? Mallory- Oh 100%. You know I have got fish to fry. Lala- And I am about to fry some of them for you. It's about to go down #BB28
Taylor to Lala- Tell Drew that you are probably considering him. You might have to pull the "I really want to work with you but you put my name under the bus. Just know I'm not gunning for you" #BB28
Melody gets hugs from Angela & Dee.
Melody: Thank you so much.
Angela: I will have to deny it.
Mel/Mal: I would never say anything.
Melody: I am in debt to you, and I meant what I said. #bb28
I am on fire island, I announced the cast for the annual survivor charity event I produce that happens in a month, there are so many awesome cool people playing including some you probably know, I am so proud of myself :D
Dee to camera- Guys, this is so much fun. I am having a blast lying to everybody. I'm lying to Chuk. Now Chuk thinks Kamu is a liar, Haley doesn't trust Yash #BB28
Angela- You know how when you are a have-not and if you eat there is a penalty? If you eat any bites of food that's not approved, if you are on the block you get a penalty vote on you. Haley- You mean a vote got taken away? Angela- It could be either way. Haley- So you think Lyric ate something? Angela- I don't know. We were suspect. I'm just wondering cause it's a special season #BB28
