if i had to wake up everyday and pretend to care about “wokeness” in ads or whatever mentally brain dead rightwingers have to do everyday i think i would eventually kill myself. reading their words is so tiring. i imagine pretending to care writing them is much worse
the trick is they actually care
I can't... www.cbsnews.com/news/cracker...
I don't know. I work hard at my job, and I don't really care about it, as long as the money's good. And the money in rightwing grifting seems very good indeed. Plus, it's not like they'd be good at much of anything else.
I think their motivation is best summed up by Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters: "If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say."
Makes my mind hurt 😞
Apparently there are people who really enjoyed playing "count the signs" when they were kids.
You would think they'd look at Peterson beet red and crying hysterically about "hot sauce going woke" or something and have a voice in the back of their mind go "is this really the end state i should be targeting as my life goal?"
Tbf I think this accounts for a majority of shooting deaths in the USA
Their focus on prurient politics prevents them from addressing issues that actually benefit themselves. Crazy.
You miss the key part that they do all that because they have no real problems in their lives and need to invent something to be mad about
And/or acknowledging the real problems in their lives would force them to reconsider beliefs they aren't willing to.
And they want praise and approval of macho police officers, conservative soldiers (Jake Tapper), CEOs, billionaires, elite revered in American culture because of their media Actual cabal leaked "centrist" editors ("including people avowedly on the left") coordinating with far right Multiple leaks!
Rage replacing hobbies is not a good lifestyle.
The problem is that they do. Many are unhappy with their material conditions. Life has gotten more expensive. It is harder to pay bills and keep food on the table. But they are being told that will all improve if we can just end the scourge that is "woke".
I think what’s really happening is that they’re sociopathic sadists who value inflicting suffering on others as their highest good.
Never forget, though, that however much they enjoy dishing it out, they cannot for one second take it. Mock them until they shrivel, and believe me, they will.
The Wilks brothers find the most dense people and reinforce their shit posts with 10k a month. It's like giving a toddler ten dollars each time they draw on the walls. I don't think it's pretend :/
I'm serious. What's the problem with wokeness? I guess it made sense to me, and it was adopted. I'll never give up being open-minded.
so I think they do actually plan to kill themselves but they're so pissed and stupid they want to take as many people with them as possible, which is why they advocate for owning automatic weapons as 'hunting guns'
You see, it’s made easier for them because it’s all they have. No friends, family, hobbies, just outrage at nonsense. If it’s all you have to put your energy into then it becomes a compulsion. They feel if they don’t do it now then they wasted all that time focusing on it before, years wasted
It’s just bizarre to me. Trump divided us right down the middle. We know we’re going to get screwed, Maga is clueless.
not only that you'd also have to do a lot of listening to and watching the orange clown and the evil vp and the rest of them....
now imagine being a person knowingly inciting schizophrenics into it so they can retain office
A lot of them aren’t pretending to care. It’s a gleeful, trollish, “tee-hee” thing. They get the same feeling from it that some get from the Newsom Trump-posting. They think they’re holding up a mirror to “cancel culture” and DEI or whatever.
The professional commentators like Ben Shapiro are literally clowns. Their job is to embarrass themselves.
I'm really mad about *long, weary sigh* Cracker Barrel
but when it's a profitable grift that prints money, that'll keep you going. Outrage engagement bait is lucrative. Who cares if you get ratio'd? Look at all those eyes!
They don't even care that's why they love AI so much because it can care for them
Do kinda empathize with them since we have to worry every day about bigotry, capitalism, puritanism, fascism, etc. Except we're concerned about things that will actually destroy all our lives, while they're fighting their own imaginations and making it everyone's problem.
Wokeness is good. I would like to see more people stepping up and stating that fact instead of mealy-mouthed trying to meet bad-faith fascists half-way, making themselves look like dipshits in the process. Wokeness means caring about people; it means not being an asshole; so what's the problem?
They just wanna use the n word and everything involved w that.
It’s almost entirely a pejorative term at this point. Anyone that uses it seriously is only making it worse. We don’t need a buzz word for “being kind”. “Woke” is just a way for conservatives to say “black” or “gay” without saying that out loud.
kind of like how many "gender neutral" phrases are explicitly masculine in origin. meeting them part way takes away a little of their power, but then reinforces that they can get away with forcing their ideals on all of us
An idle mind is the devil's playground or something like that... they got nothing going on in their life but they long for a meaningful life; so they do whatever they do
I can manage about 5-10 minutes of _discourse_ at best before I want to slit my eyeballs and have to log off. The biggest problem is giving them any air, I need to find some filters to stop seeing posts about the _discourse_
Fucking hell isn’t it EXHAUSTING constantly finding things to get pissed off and offended about that have nothing to do with you lmao
I think it gives them a sense of purpose, someone to blame for their troubles. They've bought so deeply into conservatism and capitalism that they're completely unable to turn inward and be critical their own ideologies. So "wokeness" is their villain.
That is the problem with replacing whatever religion or moral philosophy they may have had, been exposed to, or hell could seek out on their own, with capitalism is that it rots everything it touches. Capitalism is inherently empty, that's annoying to people who aren't psychopaths, who want meaning.
Hareton Splimby settled the matter of "woke brands" decades ago
Pretty sure the $200k they get every time they make a video ranting about it helps a lot here
They absolutely abhor the idea of humanity.
I still cannot wrap my head around how woke has become a derogatory term for them. Imagine acknowledging people just being happy and minding their own business, but trying to angle it to be a bad thing. "Oh you believe in gay people smiling? What a fucking weird woker."
‘…mentally braindead’ describes how I feel whenever 🍏 intercuts my podcasts w/ [commercial wokeness] ads…as well as just all of the time. Then, recalling that (a) such ads exist & (b) there is a slew of others that find them annoying for reasons antithetical to mine, my mentalbrain feels safely +2z.
that’s what chatgpt is for
It genuinely feels like the saddest life. Everything is already kind of a bummer. Everything is on fire thanks to a capitalist nightmare. Genocide. Destruction. Authoritarianism. I couldn't imagine wanting to bum myself out more by obsessing over something so childish.
Why do you think so many gun owners commit suicide?
the constant cognitive load of having to process reality through a lens that makes it fit with an ideology that is utterly incompatible with reality and humanity must be exhausting.
Now you know why they love genAI so much. Don’t gotta write them words anymore. Slop machine does it for them.
This is why I'm convinced it's a cult. They ACTUALLY believe that shit, otherwise they'd be dead.
that’s what the amphetamines are for
ppl really out there complaining about the new avatar --that actually looks pretty good, and crying that its woke for feat a female lead, disabled protag, poc, --yknow, ALL cool things the ORIGINAL team avatar had. avatar didnt become woke, --it always was, dudes like THIS just became bad people.
if original avatar released as it is today they would be piling on it too, 180% the show unabashedly explores themes of disability, sexism, growth, reflection, trauma, domestic abuse, deconstructing fa-cism, imperialist g-nocide, etc. its surprising all they tackled w such grace as a kids show
Also Avatar by definition must have a POC protagonist. There are literally no non-asian people in it.
“Woke Lego Batman” “Woke Cracker Barrel” “Woke Warhammer” “Woke Interest Rates” I still can’t believe chuds like to say you’d be happier as a conservative, when I honestly can’t imagine the ethereal levels of cognitive dissonance one must have to find “woke” in everything
WOKE Antifa WOOKIE mocks DISABLED VETERAN
“Woke Warhammer ‘We Named Our First And Most Famous Big Baddie For Margaret Thatcher’ 40,000” kills me every time. It’s right up there with “can’t believe RATM went woke.”
Wait is Lego batman really one of the ones they're mad about? 😂
They’re adding the 1957 Rainbow Suit into the newest game and chuds, a small amount, have flipped out about it
bc Lego Batman is gay or smth idfk
Something equivalent to being in hell
They're putting chemicals in the fried okra that makes the Cracker gay for his Barrel!!!
Well now you see why they want robots to write their words (but even robots resist them)
Right wing grifters who don't actually believe in the grift probably perform more mental labor than the professors of some academic fields. that or they're delusional.
Hey, I care about wokeness in media and advertisement. I think we need more of it.
I think Marco summed this up best when he said these sorts of mass-movement behaviours constitute transmissible mental illnesses
It would suck to be them.
All good liars start by lying to themselves. They betray themselves constantly, forcing their brain to rewrite the truth it already knows. Do it long enough, and you just stop believing in truth altogether, and all that's left is power and pleasure.
I used to be like that as a teenager and after figuring out i was trans and becoming my views changing drastically, its way better being able to actually enjoy shit instead of being told "you cant like this thing cuz women in it" . Unfortunately it feels so much media discussion is this now though.
To be fair, they have ChatGPT to pretend to care for them, so they get insulation that those of us who care about real issues don't have.
Not for people like them, their souls are dead.
Right off the bat there's the painfully ambiguous definition... I Think they just take everything good from religions, flip it upside down, and that's their principles.
It's true. American conservative Christians are the same people Jesus criticized in their very own Bibles. They're the legalistic show-off materialists, and that eventually becomes its own punishment. Not right away, but over time they realize that their lives have no real meaning except shopping.
Right wingers are the opposite of chill
Yeah, but it pays so much better than honest work
Who are you… ee cummings?
Would some regular fat checks from several of the numerous right wing think tanks help smooth things over?
they must have an app which tracks their anti-woke-rant streaks
it's a never ending clown dance for all involved
there's a large part of me that hopes they'll finally look at how miserable they are and change themselves another part hopes the change is very quick and is a 9-12mm solution used to end all their personal issues with existence. other sizes are acceptable but those seem to be the most convenient
I used to be heavily brainwashed by that sort of shit on youtube circa 2015-2016. Now im a transfem Anarchist. THough I think optimism will depend on age. I fell for this cuz I was an angsty teenager but eventually had self reflection. Someone 40+ super into that stuff likely will never reflect.
they argue and theorize about reality events like tv shows; "he's got a plan" is their mantra and "protect cracker barrel" is their battle cry
Sometimes I think about that one rapper MAGA guy who has openly admitted he doesn’t actually care about this stuff and is doing it for the easy money, and I just cannot comprehend how any of that would make a person happy and fulfilled.
We are in a race between we on the left, suffering from stress of the actual horrors, and those on the right creating their own boogeymen. All to see who can fight stress based health complications the longest. Given the number of boomers on their side, they are at a severe disadvantage.
Imagine Cracker Barrel being a pillar of your culture
Reading something or talking to a republican or Maga is like talking to a empty plastic bag.
the mock seriousness of kids scaring themselves while pretending to hunt ghosts at grandma's house
Perfect description of how these losers function within their red pill, conservative, manosphere BS
It helps to be a psychopath on a mission from a magic man in the sky.
I can’t imagine the woke whatever really matters
Mean it’s just talking hands… People every day don’t really give an f
It pays well for the pundits and I think that is all they care about.
Being scared and angry is their favorite thing
"Constantly scared and angry" coincidentally also is a symptom of alzheimers. Not implying anything.
I think this all the time.
Just the saddest, weirdest, bunch of losers imaginable. Grew up in a world that catered to their every whim, never once struggled in any meaningful way, and the lesson they learned was "I'm always the victim" Theyre pathetic and we should bring back trench warfare just for them
Right wingers do everyday: 1. Get enraged 2. Think about libtards, get more enraged 3. Get drunk, get more enraged 4. Hassle their neighbors, more enraged 5. Watch Fox News, know they have a right to be enraged
