Woke isn't being progressive. It's being progressive to an extent beyond any sort of logic, virtue signaling constantly, and then calling anyone who disagrees with you morally or intellectually inferior
I fucking hate that the idea of being woke was poisoned and turned into this when it very much is not and never was.
Woke is acknowledging the systemic racism playing out daily in the United States of America.
I think most of what you wrote isn't even true to be honest, it's a well strung together list of annoying tropes which doesn't even happen nearly as much or widely as some would suggest. It's a neat little "here's a bad way of caring" package but it ain't the truth.
I appreciate the effort you went through to write the post and I understand your viewpoint. At the same time, this is a great example of how the term "woke" has been co-opted into meaning something it never really did. Being awake to the injustices present in our lives isn't a bad thing. Turning woke into a slur to wrongly characterize and misdirect away from its true original intent has been an effective, and gross, way to get people to automatically reject real critique.
I was skimming more and the actual law is that the secretary has to not have served in the military in the past 7 years. It specifically calls out they're a civilian.
Most of them have had military experience though, it's probably helpful.
Well if it wasn't in his wiki when you posted that, it is now.
But that's literally what your comment said? Like it's a spectrum and made up social construct and the studies show how that is a thing.
Lol I know I just was trying for a bit of a joke.
Why is that bed not on fire?
Ah same appeal as beanie babies when you could do that with them on eBay.
Lol what rights were given up?
Hint: The answer is none.
What do you mean gender exists in the brain?
They mean that gender is a made up human construct and not something that's naturally binary. Gender is a spectrum and the idea that binary genders is the only option is limiting and just flat out wrong.
We can talk about sex vs gender and what means what but at the end of the day gender is more just how people identify themselves.
I hate that we live in a world where a banana taped to a wall is worth more than a lifetime of labor for the vast vast majority of us.
So fucked.
I don't think you understand the psyche of people voting for him, even if Trump personally came to their house and stomped on their balls they would vote for him.
It won't make any difference to their future votes if they suffer, it'll just be suffering.
I still don't really know a good way to pry people away from his cult of personality or convince them of the truth but suffering for the sake of itself is not good.
