Woke is tolerance, empathy, and a desire for the betterment of all at the expense of none (from the best of my observations studying conservative media). These are all the things the Israeli state leadership and a disturbing plurality of Israeli citizens and zionists around the world ideologically oppose because addressing those tenets challenges their ability to justify genocide. Imperial Ethno-states cannot be woke, by definition, even if they dress themselves in the imagery and rhetoric of tolerance (the most Humane Army shit). So yeah, of course they're gonna shit their pants over this 'woke' messaging in media, cause they desperately need to control the narrative of their crimes in Gaza. My sympathy to the horrifically oppressed there, and the Jewish people both in Israel and abroad who rightly and justly oppose the violence. May the Netanyahu criminal regime collapse as soon as possible.

"The dictionary definition has not changed, this is like calling China communist or the USSR socialist republic, or calling the US Republican Party… well, Republicans."

Yeah, I mean you're here stomping your feet over semantics by leaning on a dictionary definition rather than acknowledging that all your criticisms of other political systems absolutely applies to your defense of Liberalism. In so far as we're existing only in theory, the things you said about Liberalism are true (according to the source that you didn't cite), but in the actual world and as applied through history, Liberalism simply isn't what that definition claims anymore, or Liberals aren't Liberals despite their claims. Both can be true.

P.S. you're bad at this defense thing.

Who? The only things I recall about that show were real, and were spectacular.

TRump is Republicans. Republicans hobbled it, and now are finishing the job. Don't let them distance themselves from this shit or project 2025, tRump and MAGA ARE the Republican party and always were.

Merge them. Create the climate corps and allocate federal funding to that branch of military operation, that's how you actually get funding, and it makes sense because climate shift is a security threat as much as anything else. Also, given how shit is turning south of the border, this is the most comfortable I've ever been with more military spending. I'm just saying this doesn't have to be an either-or dichotomy.

Actually it's capital. But it's true that Liberalism is the wiggly fun-house slide to capitalism and fascism no doubt.

Maybe look into where they get their funding. Follow the money to the truth, just expect to be disgusted when you find it. On a related note, go back and watch HBO's the Wire to see why real systemic change doesn't happen.

Odds that Ted Gill, Charlie Cleveland, and Max McGuire, previous leadership at Krafton saw that well earned bonus and just thought, "yoink"?

Fuck you and the trend you crawled in on.

You realize that you too have a choice and say in this, right? It actually doesn't even matter if he's 'playing' you or just ignorant of his own feelings, it seems to me that you're getting very little out of it aside from distress and confusion and hurt. If he doesn't know, you should: Why are you staying with someone who isn't even sure they want to be with you? It's the actual bare minimum to ask. I'd argue that you're already not dating if he's sitting on the fence like this, and I hope he hurts his little balls about it.

So they're really gonna write up that whole article and NOT include the actual list, huh? Embarrassing.
