I AM GRANDO posted:It wouldn’t surprise me if Fox acknowledged pride by giving out anti-gay propaganda that talks about things like glory holes and forcing children to transition. And the Woke AI is offering employees access to Eskalera, a company that as best as I can tell offers DEI style training videos for people to watch and I guess customizes their "journey" based on input/stated identities (which includes everything from LGBTQ to ethnicity to "parent" or "married" or "Catholic"), which is like saying Duolingo uses "woke AI" to make sure you learn Spanish better. Though maybe they're worried that Fox HR shouldn't know that you are widowed or Jewish or near-sighted, for reasons. But then you could just not volunteer that in the Eskalera app, or not use the app. It's not surprising that Walsh is full of poo poo, but at worst this seems like pretty milquetoast/inoffensive if shallow Corporate HR being cherry picked and misrepresented to sound horrifying, but even when you do that it still hinges on trying to make things like "THEY'RE HAVING A PRIDE ICE CREAM PARTY. CO-SPONSORED BY BEN AND JERRY'S. AND EMPLOYEES CAN BRING THEIR KIDS TO THE ICE CREAM PARTY. HORRIFYING" that really only works on people really far gone.

Edge & Christian posted:Reading through the thread it was Fox Corp that had basically a Pride internal website set up, and towards the end they list some books, podcasts, and TED Talks on LGBTQ issues that you could read/watch/listen to in order to "expand your perspective" and Walsh apparently scoured those to discover that a memoir from a queer person has a brief passage about learning what glory holes are, or that a guest on one of the podcasts in 2019 said something explicitly sexual about pegging, etc. I mean, that's what they're trying to do; to make the mere concept of "woke" (a thing that, judging by the past few pages of this thread, encompasses everything from catsup to the concept of systemic injustice) toxic, even if it's as milquetoast and tame as "No, you can't run through the office screaming the f-slur like it's a call of duty lobby and you're 14".

It's funny, I don't think the AAVE origins of "woke" even occur to the people furious about it anymore, although I think on a subconscious level it contributes to people's hatred of fear of the idea. It's like a dog whistle embedded in a megaphone.

I think the AAVE definition of woke isn't even understood by most of the people who adopted it in good faith for that matter, at least once it spread widely enough for the right to take notice of it.

Chris Rufo managed to poison the concept of CRT so badly that entire states tried to ban it from their school curriculum. Since then he's doing the same to DEI/wokeness, as the backlash against Bud Light and Target suggests.

atomicvocabulary posted:Even if it isn't. Even if it's Four seasons level of "just put it anywhere"-ness his followers will still take it as a sign. They eat this poo poo up. Hopefully more of them get to go on trial for the next Jan 6th. Those people believe everything is a sign. Every word trump utters is a secret code for them to solve. If trump stops talking, the silence is the secret code they must solve. Some random talks about trump online / TV, it's actually trump giving us a secret code to solve through a middleman. If trump dies tomorrow these people will be standing outside, waiting for him to return with his VP, JFK Jr, to save America from literal satanic demons from hell, or from space, it's always loving demons in our Christian poisoned mindset.

Donnie wanted to look patriotic and get a picture with a bald eagle (who as a species carry their baldness with dignity, unlike....) at his desk. The eagle attacked him and he shied away like the coward he is. The very symbol of our country attacks him. How is that not a sign?

The origin of the way the word is used by conservatives today is when white supremacists purposely appropriated it to: 1. Trigger the blacks, and: 2. Mock AAVE in general and give all of it negative connotations in people's minds. The entire point of its use is racism.

And they're also good at coming up with innocuous-sounding dogwhistles like "it's OK to be white." Most people aren't going to recognize the racist intent behind its use and will think that people who get triggered by it are overly sensitive and/or trying to get people to think of nearly anything as racist. It's insidious. They've always recognized that language is important and have perfected how to exploit it. As I've said before, a lot of the abortion debate is affected by the way that regressives have successfully managed to frame the debate around words like "life"/"mother"/"baby". They're even using the technical term "fetal heartbeat" in an extremely misleading manner to make people believe it means something it doesn't. And they're almost never challenged on it. People need to call it out more.

Since then he's doing the same to DEI/wokeness, as the backlash against Bud Light and Target suggests. 1. Pick a graduate-level optional course in law school at random. 2. Advocate heavily for banning it in public schools in a Texas legislature meeting, while emphasizing that it's never been taught there. 3. Get called out on what you're saying being irrelevant bullshit, point out it's the exact same kind of irrelevant bullshit they've already done once. I haven't tried this mostly because I know it wouldn't make a difference at all, and also because I'm too poor to drive very far.

Less of "poisoning" the concept, but rather giving resentful white bigots enough cover to reign in honest teaching of history, which they've been wanting to do for a long time but weren't smart enough to figure out.

As soon as you have to waste breath reassuring people things like "Critical Race Theory is a graduate level course in college" and "Trans people are not groomers" you've already lost the discourse.

The Islamic Shock posted:Let's ask the trans kids, their parents and their doctors what they think is best for them. Oh wait every time we do that it exposes the fact that we're actively harming them They think a kid being trans is like a housecat being vegan. The parents that are supportive are just doing it for attention because it's "trendy" to have a trans kid these days (they get referred as having "Munchausen by proxy") and the doctors are allegedly making a fortune from transing kids.

I think I need to take a break from searching this stuff out on my own. I just listened to former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis talk with someone called Raw Egg Nationalist for 36 minutes about how RFK Jr is a totally legit presidential candidate, vaccines definitely cause autism, and we should be investigating if chemicals in our tap water are turning our precious sons trans, why are leftists freaking out when we Just Ask Questions?? Like, why did I do that? Did I think it was going to enrich my life somehow? Was I hoping for some form of amusement? Am I just staring at the abyss out of habit at this point? I need a nap.

How's RWM doing with news about Hunter Biden today? "FINALLY, justice is served?" "The DoJ is only doing this to appear unbiased in light of Trump's legal issues and Biden got off light?" "gently caress this, Hunter should get the death penalty!" Some combination of those? I have a hard time believing that this will satiate any of them.

As soon as you have to waste breath reassuring people things like "Critical Race Theory is a graduate level course in college" and "Trans people are not groomers" you've already lost the discourse. I'm aware of Rufo and what he did, but the point was nobody was teaching CRT to grade schools, it was a scary sounding word. and no I'm no trying to explain that to people. The bigots know what they were talking about and the bigots know the trans people aren't groomers. You don't need to explain it, they already know. Very few people are unclear. The CRT poo poo is "my kids are learning that white people did bad things" and "Trans-groomers" are "queer people make me uncomfortable". Nobody ever thought that CRT was being taught in schools, they instantly knew that what everyone meant was "teaching real history instead of soothing myths".
