“Down here, Woke is a way of life.” “Obviously the environment down here is all woke. The ceiling is woke, the floor is woke, the walls are woke, and to an extent the air is woke. And you breathe that in, and you constantly taste the woke.”

You can walk the woke but can you woke the walk? Check mate, curious!
No in the west it’s people obsessed with identity politics typically held by liberals who are constantly perma offended
2012 called, it wants its unproductive and boring observation back.
Funny however it is true
Doubling down on it doesn’t trigger the libs, friend. Go touch some grass.
Not trying to trigger anyone it’s objectively true
West?
Only Russians are so obsessed with “the decadent west”.
Why the fuck aren’t you mobilized yet?
Reality is hard for conservatives, they have to invent new cope every day
“Reality has a well-known liberal bias.”
Libs are woke, Rs smoke dope(crack not weed)
Back in the '90s everything messed up was “gay.” The teacher won’t let you turn in late homework, that’s gay. Recess was cut short by a fire alarm, so gay.
I thought we’d moved past that immaturity.
It’s almost as though “woke” is being used as a euphemism for something that people can no longer say without getting pushback.
To me, the funny thing is that even back then, you could pinpoint the hatred from the bigots: “stuff is gay” just means “I hate the gays” … but now the fuckers can’t even describe their hatred. Asking them to define what the word woke means basically causes a complete meltdown in their feeble brains. “ITS LIKE … TRANS CLIMATE THINGS OKAY … UUUHHHH” and then a quick change of conversation.
When exactly did you think immaturity would be surpassed?
Yeah, most people never actually grow up, they just get older.
That makes sense. I like that.
I had a hopeful but naive view of humanity. I thought that progress in science and technology would naturally lead to a more educated and tolerant society. Sigh.
Historically speaking we don’t even know that science and technology will progress.
You know the weird trope in a lot of RPGs where an ancient artifact is this strangely advanced thing? If you think about it, that’s happened before. After the fall of the Roman empire, Western Europe was in a dark age. People were living in the ruins of buildings they couldn’t figure out how to build, and often those ancient artifacts were better than anything that could be produced by current technology. Imagine something like some of the Greek clockwork showing up in some dark age village.
That’s not the first time that happened, either. The early classical Greeks were often living in the ruins of Mycenaean Greek castles, and after the bronze age collapse some of the societies in the region didn’t even maintain writing as a technology, so there were artefacts that were impossible for the people of the time to reproduce with current technology.
We also saw the collapse of the Indus valley civilization that had things as advanced as plumbing and sewage systems, where those technologies were lost to the indian subcontinent until much later.
There are ruins in Zimbabwe which are incredible of castles made of stone, completely inconsistent with what we imagine when we hear the word “Africa” as well. It seems that the high level of technology represented by Great Zimbabwe was not comparable to later civilizations until relatively recently.
The Terracotta army created after the death of the first emperor of the Qin dynasty in China was on such a level of magnitude and precision that the following periods of the Han dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period simply couldn’t have reproduced it.
The Moche civilization in ancient Peru was known for its elaborate irrigation systems, advanced ceramic arts, and complex social organization, but the civilization collapsed and with the end of that civilization much of their technologies were lost.
Many societies before us didn’t see history as a straight line, but a cycle. If it’s true that civilization existed for in some form for 100,000 years before recorded history began which is suggested by some things like the story of the 7 Pleiades sisters where one sister left to describe a 6 star constellation where 100,000 years ago there may have been 7 stars showing then it could be that such a worldview is mor consistent with reality than our modern one.
While our postmodern view of societies says that civilizations fail because things aren’t progressing enough, the dark age Christians believed that their predecessors collapsed because of a lack of moral virtue. The Bronze Age civilizations blamed “Sea People”. The Mesopotamians told stories about a great flood sent by the gods as punishment for hubris. Two American civilizations claim that our current world is either the 4th or 6th one to exist and the rest were destroyed in cataclysms.
When you started talking about the fall of Rome I was about to go all “Ackchyually the dark ages weren’t all that dark,” but then you just kept. citing. more. examples. and proved your point. Well played, sir!
I’ve been on a pretty big history kick lately. :)
I think the same too & in a way it has.
Woke is the exact same criticism the right has had for the left for about 60 years. Before it was “woke”, it was “politically correct”, and before it was politically correct it was “bleeding-heart”.
Conservatives love to recycle, at least when it comes to ideals.
This comment is gay.
Homosexuals are gay.
I can’t updoot this enough. Lol
upwoke
It’s an absolute masterpiece and it’s going in my permanent collection!
Well I guess I’m woke then.
The process is: left invents a word that actually means something. Conservatives turn it into swear word. Left forgets it means something and never use the word again
Just for once I wish the left would stick to its convictions
the left didn’t invent “woke”. Black people invented “woke”. It was meant to alert others to the idea that you are aware of racial injustice baked into our society.
You’re an engine?
