Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
so here is my question. do you think now that the GOP and Trump are in basically full control of government and probably will be for the next 2 to 4 to 8 years. do you think the WOKE poo poo will die off? its clear that most people hate it and its dividing and crippling the left and various areas.

I think the trajectory WOKE is on will reverse but it will still stick around like aging hippies do. The WOKE stuff will not continue, but those completely indoctrinated now will not go away and are too far in to back out.

"Chu has been sponsored by the likes of Laughing Squid,[13] Harputs adidas/Y3, Learn iT!, DoctorBase, a Quiznos Sub restaurant,[1] Rasputin Music, Chris Daly's 2006 San Francisco Supervisor campaign,[14] Phil Angelides' 2006 California gubernatorial campaign,[15] and Expensify[16]—typically through ad-space purchased on the back of his signs.[17][18] As of May, 2005, his going rate was $100 (U.S.) per week.[19]"

He's a legitimately crazy guy who has been protesting against imagined conspiracies for over a decade, and now he makes money by renting the space on the back of his sign to companies.

A large part of it was that learned racism does not make you a bad person, but a lot of people missed the entire point there

A Broadway musical with actually currently popular musical styles seems like an obvious thing to do but apparently no one thought of it before.

The fact it allowed people to feel good about their country's historical foundation just by casting people of color in the roles of landed white aristocrats is what allowed it to metastasize into a cultural/political force among parts of the country.

So it's blackwashing? I thought sjw's were against race-washing? Do the black people in the play still talk about the 3/5 compromise as if from the voice of slaveowner? That must be super awkward.

they don't bring up slavery at all, is the compromise. Lin-Manuel Miranda basically admitted in an interview that he couldn't figure out a way to put it in without grinding the musical to a halt

And how it would be great if you didn't need to worry about being taxed or invaded by a foreign group.

The fact that literal capitalist pigs are the bad guys isn't very subtle.

As someone who actually read all the Hunger Games books (they were cheap on Kindle, please shame me) the first one was OK and the last two were very, very bad. Anyone who thinks they're a landmark of literature like those other books should be mocked.

LaBeouf's new work, HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US, is an ambitious response to the Trump presidency, created with his longtime collaborators Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner. It began on inauguration day and invites members of the public to recite the mantra "He will not divide us" into a webcam, which livestreams day and night.
