Dumb ass person who uses emancipatory language to center the discussion around how they feel. And also it's wrong, "Rest In Power" was first actually used on the internet for a Filipino graffiti artist in Oakland who was shot and killed during an armed robbery. The first time it was used in mainstream media was for Rachel Corrie, a pro-Palestinian protestor who was murdered by an Israeli bulldozer.

I've predominantly seen it used for people who were victims of violent crimes, not activists. Frequently, black or transgender people that were murdered (not only then though). I'm not gonna complain if someone wants to use it to mourn someone though

Thats actually one of the more mild criticisms I have seen of that man. I've seen people on Twitter and YouTube comments, saying he is in hell now. Or laughing at him. Calling him an antisemite. Or a brainwashed liberal mental case

No it's not. You're just ascribing everything you don't like as woke, as right-wingers are wont to do.

She's saying stupid shit and being an idiot, that's all it is.

The screenshot is literally an example of a woke attitude and I'm not right-wing. You're projecting a willingness to attribute the mention of any concept you don't like to the right-wing.

The fuck it is. It's disingenuous to think people who complain about "woke" are not criticizing things like bodily autonomy rights, LGBTQ rights, being anti-racist, anti-sexist, etc. Because that is what they are criticizing. The complaints against "woke" are racist, bigots who vote for Trump.

In that scenario it's bad. This is not that scenario.

You are missing the forest for your disingenuous trees. The GOP base do not criticism "wokeness" for any other reason except for bigotry, racism, sexism, and more. You are attempting to justify that horrific behavior off of a random tweet.

No, I'm justifying me calling that specific post woke nonsense.

Calling out people using woke as a dogwhistle for bigotry = cool, awesome.

Denying that there's any appropriate situation to call anything woke at all = wrong, false, because that post is one.

Haha I feel ya on that, but between the topic yesterday and his posts in this one? Not making good faith posts.

Meanwhile, not a single person asking "what does woke mean" is doing so in good faith.
