What was Woke? A megathread documenting the most deranged era of our time 🧵🧵🧵
When AOC declared woke over and dismissively laughed that "Woke 1 was crazzzy", she was sending a calculated signal to the Leftist rank & file that "Woke" was now more of a political liability than a help and it was time to pivot from "its not happening" to "ok it was happening but it wasnt that bad, can we just move on now?"
The online hordes clearly understood the assignment, as the online space is full of ppl either dismissing Woke as "just some online kooks " and pretending not to understand what Woke even was (thus making discourse impossible).
They will adopt a "gotcha" strategy where they will demand to know on the spot exactly what was so bad about Woke and when you dont have an itemized list in bullet points at the ready, will dismiss your entire argument that Woke was bad.
So here I'm creating a thread so you can all bookmark it and use it anytime says "Woke wasnt that big a deal", "it was just online kooks", or "it was just about having empathy and being kind".
You will notice not one of the examples in this thread are "online kooks". Almost every single one is a major media company. Despite the catastrophic reputational loss of the last two decades, these companies are still very powerful and influential, and since most of the public still mindlessly outsources their thinking to the media, they play a key role in shaping public opinion. Keep that in mind as you read some to the deranged things these psychopaths were pushing on us.
If in the future, someone wants to study how, when and why the mainstream media pivoted from Neutral Arbiter of Truth to Culture Warrior, Narrative Shaper and Social Engineer, this thread would be a valuable resource.
So without further ado, what IS Woke?
This dork had no problem profiting heavily off mergers when the Disney/Marvel/Fox mega-merger made him a deca-millionaire. This dude has been profiting off mergers for years. He even made millions off a Paramount/WB co-production, Zodiac. He got his bag, so screw everyone! 🤡🤡
A flight school in Minnesota, the Pan Am Academy, alerts the FBI that some students who took classes on immigrant visas have been asking “suspicious questions” about low-altitude, high-velocity flight.
One student, Zacarias Moussaoui, keeps asking how to fly a plane, but insists that he doesn’t need to know how to take off and land. Moussaoui is arrested.
So let me get this straight...the DSA candidate in Wisconsin is leading by double digits in all the polls...Democrats start flipping out because its revealled that she is a communist who wants to cancel Thanksgiving and will probably cost them the seat...so they pull someone back into the race who had already dropped out, and he magically wins after misplaced thumb drives are found...
Gee, @SpanbergerForVA, that's some bizarre stuff, right?

This is just off the dome.
Blackpill all you want but there are thousands of people working day and night in the admin to deliver for the American people and they really are.
“For the unvaccinated you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.”
As time passes, I only get more angry. Righteous anger.
If you live on a natural fortress island made of coal, covered in cultivated soil and turned into an agricultural powerhouse by your forefathers, floating on gas surrounded by a sea previously full of fish with mountains lakes and rivers replenished by nearly year round rainfall, inhabited by the most inventive, productive and brilliant people ever to walk the earth- yet you are constantly told that there are “shortages”, that you should pay more but expect less- then your “government” is obviously the problem.
It’s time for an entirely new one, it’s time to @RestoreBritain
Young men, don’t let anyone tell you that you aren’t a good capitalist because you rightfully complain about how hard it is to buy a home, pay your mounting bills, buy your family groceries, or keep a roof over your head.
It didn’t always used to be this way, the deck really is stacked against you, and turning you into debt cattle, tax slave, and lifelong renter were the goals of very wealthy and powerful people since they first assigned you a number. Because that’s what you are to them.
Your right to complain about it is written in your sweat and blood. And no. You are not experiencing “capitalism.” You are experiencing exploitation they call “capitalism.”
You are competing for a starter home against global capital with access to money you could never borrow at rates you could never get. You are paying taxes into a system that subsidizes corporations large enough to purchase the politicians who write the rules governing those corporations. You are watching losses get socialized while profits remain private, industries consolidate until “competition” means choosing which logo gets to fleece you, and financial institutions turn necessities like housing, medicine, education, and even food into investment vehicles to be squeezed for maximum yield.
That is not a free market. That is a market with a thumb and an entire federal bureaucracy sitting on the scale.
Real Capitalism requires meaningful competition, private property, enforceable contracts, and honest money. When the powerful can purchase exemptions, subsidies, bailouts, regulatory moats, preferential financing, cheap foreign labor, and political influence, while you get a mortgage at seven percent and a lecture about skipping Starbucks, somebody has rigged the %*#* game.
You work. You produce. You build. You fix. You haul. You create things people need. and then you watch an ever-growing procession of governments, banks, monopolies, middlemen, institutional investors, and politically connected parasites reach into your pocket to take it.
There is nothing anti-capitalist about objecting to that. That is a rigged table where the house writes the rules, deals the cards, owns the casino, lends you the money to play, and then calls you “anti-capitalist” and “unpatriotic” when you notice.
Heck, I’ll even complain *with* you. It’ll be fun. But we’ll have to do it while we work because a single day off might cause cascading financial ruin and then they’ll call us lazy.
For the first time in recorded history, a civilization has decided that the most enlightened virtue is to surrender its culture, heritage, women, and children without putting up any defence. Suicidal empathy shall prove to be the demise of the West.
I'm going to say it again -
People who live in White, culturally homogeneous areas throughout Western countries do not understand what it's like dealing with people who don't speak your language, who don't assimilate, who create enclaves full of rubbish, crime and violence.
You don't understand, so you don't think mass immigration is a problem.
But people dealing with it day in and day out are sick to fucking death of it. And when you vote in favour of this shit, you doom us to more of it. And you will eventually doom yourselves.
I live in a pretty alright part of DFW, and I see fewer and fewer Americans every day. I hear less and less English every day.
I talk to friends back in Melbourne, who work in the city, who say they're lucky if they see another Australian. They also know who is committing all the violent crime, and nobody is allowed to say it.
I talk to friends in Canada whose towns have been taken over by third worlders. I read about little English villages that have been flooded with third worlders, who now outnumber the native population 3 to 1.
Governments KNOW people are getting angrier and angrier. So what do they do? They pass legislation to criminalize calling this shit out. They criminalize people begging for less of this.
I don't want diversity. I don't want multiculturalism. And I'm basically beyond the point of caring if that upsets others.
So many of us have been badgered since we were children into believing being White is some type of sin and we have to atone for the "colonization" of our ancestors. So, now that we're being invaded by the entire third world, it's somehow justified.
Stop buying into it. Stop apologizing and being sorry for wanting your country back. We are allowed to want our cultures, traditions and ancestry upheld. We are allowed to say NO to this.
