All this ‘Woke’ is boring, tiring

Who does WOKE work on other than the people trying to be WOKE’er?

Before we get to the main article, here’s a comment singer Kid Rock made about Taylor Swift on August 9th:

“Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period. And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.”

MOVING ON…

The Era Of Comprehensive Digital Wokeness Is Exhausting

What if your Uber driver voted for Trump? What if your waitress voted for Trump? What if, heaven forfend, the guy who delivers your New York Times voted for Trump?

Here’s the problem with crossing into the territory of believing that President Trump is himself not just bad on domestic racial issues, not just someone born in 1946 whose views contain old-fashioned xenophobic ideas, but is actually a legitimate Nazi/David Duke dog-whistling white supremacist: it means that all of his supporters, whether they support him for his conservative justices, his tax cuts, or even his anti-interventionist inclinations, are necessarily supporters of white supremacism. And that makes his supporters – all of them, not just many of them as Hillary Clinton claimed – deplorable. Worse than that, it renders them unacceptable to embrace in any polite, enlightened, tolerant society.

You see where this logic leads. If Trump is a white supremacist, and his supporters are all therefore supporters of white supremacism, and they therefore need to be viewed as dark influences within American society, then you can’t exactly be paying them money now, can you? Buying things from the KKK booth at the farmer’s market doesn’t go over well in Bushwick, even if they do sell the best heirloom tomatoes, the kinds that will look all colorful and glistening in your caprese salad tonight. more

  2. If the kkk booth sells the bestest tomatoes, then those will be the ones I buy. If the muzzy booth sells them, then I will buy those. For it is tomatoes for which I shop! All things considered, i have never been to a farmer’s market that had a kkk or muzzie booth. That stated, PDJT is not a white supremacist nor am i. We may both be U.S. Nationalists (i know i am), but that does not make us “WHITE” anythings…..

  3. If your movement adopts an ignorant slogan noun WOKE, which in its true form is a verb, you’ve already lost me. I tend to gravitate towards intelligent people who understand language.

    When one associates with the illiterate, one’s intellect is up for debate. I don’t much care for the stupid.

  4. Sure, it’s not a major loss if they boycott Annie’s Diner in Dalton GA, or their neighborhood Chick-Fil-A (they can always sneak in the one a few streets over), and it’s really not a sacrifice to boycott SoulCycle, there’s a million health clubs around.

    No, if you really want to test their convictions, put out a rumor Planned Parenthood donated to Trump, and whoa boy, it’s decision time.

  5. Aren’t declarations of “wokeness” mostly public expressions of a leftist’s piety to his religion of liberalism? No matter what subject is being commented upon, it always looks like exhibitionism, not something meant to work on others in that same sad boat.

  6. It’s really a loud shout to “look how stupid I am, will you accept me?}
    “I’ll surrender all objectivity and reasoning and allow you to do my thinking for me if you’ll only let me join the popular crowd.”
