no the wokest is constantly questioning whether people are more woke than yourself, or if one person is more woke than another

let's not forget maintaining a sliding scale of which celebrities are good or bad based on their politics and treating said scale as something vitally important

Is it even possible to culturally appropriate Japan? Its never been colonized and conquered by the west

It's not cultural appropriation, but it is an example "white washing", which is an issue that naturally affects Asian Americans more than Asians living in Asia (since "being marginalized in American society" isn't really an issue for, say, Japanese people living in Japan). At its most simple, the complaint is "why the gently caress wouldn't you just hire an Asian actor to play an Asian character", and it's made worse by a history of white actors often playing Asian characters. It's not like there's some dearth of English speaking Asian actors, so there isn't much of an excuse for this sort of thing.

I mean, obviously there are many more serious issues, but it's still a legitimate thing.

i disagree. microlending is held up by neoliberals as a shining example of lifting people in places like sub-saharan africa and rural india out of poverty, when it's more responsible for suicides among the people that get them. and what's more woke than having a program like that started by a WoC?

Yeah, microlending sounded good at first but it turns out that creating a whole new, completely unregulated way to put some of the poorest people on earth into debt is not actually the poverty curing panacea we thought it would be.

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
i thought micro lending was good when i was much younger and much dumber (still dumb though), and during those times I thought anything that had the words entrepreneurship in it was the loving bumb. but then i realized how loving stupid it is to think that putting poor people in debt would help them.

jesus loving christ what a stupid rear end idea. like, it's a great idea for lenders. an entire untapped market to exploit, and you get to dress it up as goodwill. loving jackpot.

stupid loving liberals couldn't take one second and think to themselves "well, if poor people in my own first world country with a lot more opportunity and resources can't seem to loving escape poverty with debt, how are these poor schlubs in Africa going to do it". they are not. it is a dumb idea. and you are dumb for supporting it.

if you lend a shopkeeper in somalia $20 at 15% interest administered through a series of subcontracting banks and ultimately sent out to collection when the shopkeeper's business fails after his landlord flees the country you are basically a neoliberal saint, i wouldnt worry too much about what the debt collection process might entail in that country

You can't just donate idle money to people who are asking for a pittance to turn their lives around. No, that would be immoral, you must make them suffer for every buck to make them appreciate the power of dollar.

Microloans are literally just medieval usury with a new coat of paint.

It always amazed me how microlending was portrayed as literal charity. Like, even if it actually did help (which it obviously doesn't) it still wouldn't be charity! There is nothing selfless about giving people loans that they are required to pay back with interest*!

*Well, above the risk free interest rate at least
