Quote from: Hijiri Byakuren on June 08, 2023, 02:33:21 AMWhat the fuck is wokeism? Are you talking about faux-woke people who pay lip service to the talking points to get clicks, and then move on to the next piece of clickbait? Or perhaps you're one of those people who thinks being asked not to be a racist or transphobic fuckhead is lItErAlLy NiNtEeN-eIgHtY-fOuR.
I mean more the case of being so self aware that watching Seinfeld is offensive, since socialists have this gift that they suck the fun out of things, while Conservatives are the turds. The ones that are pro hate groups obviously

But this is why Joseph McCarthy is a hero in my view. Imagine dozens of movies like "Salt of the earth 1954" movies, all about their miseries on screen. GOOD GOD that would be so boring. So i am glad USA got 60 years of socialist free entertainment, before now i guess it would be a lil bit authoritarian to do so i guess

Or its just more random crap. Some people need to be reassured they're actually alive.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Is your mother named Marjorie Taylor Greene????  You sound just like her--sick in the head. 
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Yeah, other people's problems and social injustice and inequality are pretty boring. Why can't they just eat cake?

Or make a documentary about it?
And then make entertainment when one is bored and want excitement.
