As in because the pendulum swings from the far left to the far right? Or were you just mistakenly conflating those two completely opposite political theories?

I miss being able to disable inbox replies on Reddit on comments I wasn't interested in replies to and I'm wondering if there's a way to do this on Lemmy

That's cool, you should specify from the onset that your experience comes from a place outside of the actual country where the "woke" culture war originated and is mainly happening, and you should still link stats to demonstrate that the majority of people there have a misunderstanding of what the word means like you claimed. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and most people in the country driving the "woke" culture war still know what the word means.

No it doesn't. It means the same thing to most people that it has always meant.

The right just has so much insane propaganda about it that you've been convinced most people fell for it, which they haven't.

The movie was definitely woke in the traditional meaning of the word before conservatives tried (and failed) to change it. Not only was it a very feminist movie, they also took specific aim at Citizens United and capitalism broadly, which makes it a squarely, unambiguously left-leaning movie.

Mary Miller comes to mind. Illinois Nazis man.

This couldn't be a more astroturfed comment if it tried. This reads like it came directly from the mouth of Steve Bannon.

If it's anything like Ohio in 2022, they just ignore the court order to redraw it and there's no recourse.

I didn't say you did? Weird response.

Lemmy doesn't have nearly enough people to be worth using as the only platform people are on unless you never engaged with any niche subreddits. I was pretty active on subs where only like 100 people participated, so finding things like that on Lemmy are impossible. Lemmy is only decent for tech people at this point, it needs to get a tremendous amount of extra people joining to be good enough for anyone else to drop Reddit entirely. And even then, lots of info exists on Reddit and nowhere else that still make it a useful tool for other purposes.

Sorry I just don't buy that a large portion of people are already using Lemmy and nothing else (you might be, idk) unless they only care about memes of beans and nothing else.

An easy way to pick out racists in the modern day is if they just casually call black people "blacks." It seems to be one of the words that, although it's not used by non-racists, hasn't been phased out by some of the less explicit racists yet in the way "colored people" has.

That's a pretty dumb saying, where did you hear that?

Do you plan on answering the actual questions they've been asking you at some point or are you going to keep answering stuff they didn't ask?
