Imagine identifying as conservative. For me that is the absolute most sus thing in the world.

Just because he's an African American. This country has a long way to go!

He wasn’t born here, like Obama!

So Musk says the same type of dumb shit as Trump, he can just say it a little more intelligent-sounding?

I wouldn't say more intelligent but yes. Glad to learn you are on the right team.

I actually love it. To be woke means to be aware. They are literally anti-awareness/anti-intelligence. It's honest and hilarious. They want to take us back to the dark ages and halt social progress. Fuck those people. They are truly bad people.

Musk seems to have seamlessly shifted into Trump's position in the left's mental space for the daily two-minute hate sessions. Gotta focus that moral outrage on someone at all times, I guess.

He's kinda in-your-face, to be fair. Narcissism 101.

I work with a repulsive fat white girl who is all the woke things you guys hate. do you I convert to the right because of her? No, I fight to redefine what I want the left to be. I believe she represents a minority of left-wingers.

Language is fluid. Wokeness no doubt had honest beginnings, but now we've got white people claiming that you're racist if you condemn Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock.

It's unbelievably stupid, and deserves to be satirized.

stop pretending these people represent the entire left. they are our worst members?

why aren't you equally concerned with the transphobes and homophobes on the right? what about the people repealing abortion laws? I feel like this is a bigger problem then annoying woke people.

Hard-hitting insight dev. How are you fighting exactly?

washing machine · **Posted:** Fri May 20, 2022 8:17 pm

You should open up your mind to some real conservative values, dev. Read some Scruton or Hazlitt and forget about the false divisions the almighty algorithm baits you into clicking.

Yes, it is wise to embark upon understanding opposing viewpoints and seek to grasp how they can be just as valid and vital as your own.

I don't like your tone. are you following my work on this board? the point is I stand up for progressive ideals I believe in, while remaining rational, and discard leftist arguments that I find problematic or overzealous.

I understand those viewpoints better than anyone. I was full red-pill for a few years. It is exactly why I hate the movement so much now because it is so transparent to me.

Just to clarify, you’re equating fighting with posting political hot takes on a Pearl Jam message board?

Perhaps you're overcompensating
