Pretty sure that's not how they describe you.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

Yes. They say "so much for the tolerant left" without any shred of self awareness.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie 13 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty closed minded about how racism is dog shit.

[–] buddascrayon 41 points 1 day ago

Yes, except they pronounce it "libtard" and "woke"(with the usual inflection of distain of course).

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

This tweet is so old you can't even blame them for not hearing of "woke" used as an insult yet.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well of course they don’t say that. They have negative sounding terms like the old “bleeding heart liberal,” because as every good conservative knows it is weakness and foolishness to give a shit about other people.

I guess today they would just go for woke. It’s short and meaningless, but it started out being used by minorities so again every good conservative knows it’s a bad thing and a killer insult.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My dad said that one all the time. Little kid me thought it was a sick burn. Somewhere in my 20s it hit me that it's actually more of a compliment

[–] whaleross 6 points 1 day ago

Bleeding heart libtard should be adopted as a compliment.

[–] LordWiggle 80 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, kinda. My racist aunt was like: "yeah, so I've had some issues with my daughter. She's woke, you know, so she gets angry at everything I say. I can't say anything anymore. I don't mind her not coming over. No respect for the parents and elderly these days, their generation is totally fucked up. Must be puberty or something." (*my cousin is 32)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know what they say because I'm the one they're probably saying it about

[–] LordWiggle 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I do know what they say because both my racist narcissistic aunt and mother say it to me in my face. They get angry at me for telling them what they say is racist / homophobe / transphobe / supports genocide (they are pro Israël), tell me I act like a child, don't know anything about the world, have no respect, should keep my mouth shut, shouldn't have come, should be ashamed of myself. "Next time behave and let us speak our opinions (meaning shut up and listen) or don't come." So now I have cut them completely off. They are angry about that too but I blocked them so it's not my problem anymore. They are in their 70s so should die soon I hope. Makes this world just is little bit less horrible.

My racist/sexist/generally terrible uncle calls me liberal, brainwashed and woke, not open minded.

Remind him a shepherd doesn't keep his little sheep around for their nice company, he's going to sell or eat them.

The Abrahamic god seems to be fattening up souls for consumption in the afterlife.

Become a communist, then you can call him a liberal.

Pretty much. My whole family was fairly left leaning once upon a time. However they have since fallen for the mass trump indoctrination.

My mother who was once an elementary school teacher to some of the most under privileged children in tulsa, who lived for her job and only wanted a better future for her Hispanic and black students now wants those very children to be deported if illigeal cause she took the trump pill.

My father who used to employ only Mexicans for his somewhat successful construction company, wants that cheap labor deported as they are " taking US citizens jobs" like what?

The craziest part is my family is half Mexican, my grandma came from Mexico to the us in the 50s in search for a better life for her children. So my dad is half Mexican. Talk about some irony.

My Mexican nana would be sad to see whom her children are blindly following

Sorry for tge rant but sheesh, its gonna be a rough day

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 4 points 1 day ago

My Florida (of course) cousins are half-Thai and rabidly anti-immigrant (their father, who was white and also rabidly anti-immigrant married their mother in Thailand in the service and brought her back to the US). It just doesn't make any earthly sense. For bonus points, they both happen to look vaguely Central American and have been harassed for that all their lives.

My mom went though her self proclaimed "trump era" during the 2016 elections after my sister came out as bi. It was hell. I'm terrified of what she'll do if I tell her I'm trans and have known so for 5+ years.
My sister's boyfriend is trans (on HRT for 3 years) but she's started going own a spiral again after my sister told her, today she dropped the line of "He is NOT getting my blessing!" and my (homophobic but doesn't know) grandma said "well guess [sister] is gonna be like me and Pop!" as my grandma didn't get a blessing for her marriage.

[–] Dorkyd68 33 points 2 days ago

You may not get a blessing from your family for who you truly are. However there are a ton of folks that support you and whoever/However you want to live your life.

Be gay Do crime And be kind 😉

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I don't know your situation, but I'm glad I came out even though my parents and others rejected me for it. A lot of things in my life are worse because of their rejection, but my life as a whole is better just for living as myself.

[–] MutilationWave 11 points 1 day ago

I work with a lot of immigrants. Some 1st generation some others. They're all "legal". No one shits on immigrants like other immigrants. Many of them feel the need to tell people they're not like those other ones. It's sad.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I'm so sorry

Repeat of yesterdays meme. Is this a fad?

[–] jettrscga 92 points 2 days ago (5 children)

"Woke". They say woke to somehow try to make inclusion sound like a bad thing.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago (7 children)

They literally make "Antifa" out to be bad, lol. Like, sound it out: They're "against fascism". Shouldn't everyone rational reject fascism...?

I don’t get why we don’t call the “anti-woke” crowd “the asleep.” It seems like if they want to treat becoming awakened as an insult, we should be reminding them that they’re the ones who have their eyes closed and are attempting to ignore all of history.

The optimist in me believes that some day the majority of them will wake up, the same way the majority of Germans eventually denounced the nazi party.

The word itself used to have a good meaning.

[–] MapleEngineer 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It still does. They try to turn everything good into a slur to devalue it. I'm woke and I'm fucking proud.

Probably the woke person doesn’t bother going, they’ve written that family off.

[–] frickineh 53 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Man, I'm not seeing any of those motherfuckers. They don't warrant the time of day, let alone getting to disturb my peace. I'm just gonna make some good food and hang out with my mom and the dog and have a nice day.

The traditional way this was phrased was "bleeding heart liberal". The implication being that they were so giving as to be gullible and not realistic.

Nowadays the preferred insults are "commie" or "woke". I don't hear it directed at me much, due to particular family circumstances that forced them to accept my gay-married trans ass, but boy do I hear it about Democrats every year.

(I know that Dems aren't commie or even 'woke' most of the time, but to them it is a distinction without a difference. To them, those terms refer to anyone who thinks that people don't deserve to die for the 'crime' of being homeless.)

Yes, just with very different adjectives

[–] El_guapazo 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Of course not. They live for the outrage and offense they cause. It's like a validation for them that they're on the right track. Like finding enemies in a video game, it indicates that it's the path to follow. They don't realize they're the villain though.

No, he looks forward to using me as a target for their collective derision.

Yes.

Or like my parents, before I stopped attending altogether, “Our ‘lost’ son is going to be there, we need to pray for his soul.”

No they think “Oh goody! I get to start a fight and feed off my own rage and self righteousness and own the libs at the same time! And there will be pie!”
