Comment on Chevy Chase Bashes ‘Community’: “The Show Wasn’t Funny Enough”

• PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  He doesn’t actually know what he’s talking about. He’s flailing around trying to reconcile what the word actually meant with Republicans deciding to make it a trigger word for reactionaries.

  He can’t just say “I don’t like him because I’ve been told to not like him”, but that’s functionally what it boils down to.

  I am, but I'm not a fan of wokeness. I trust that you're not so dense that you can't tell the difference.

    It’s not that you can’t define it, no…

      Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you are dense.

        No, it’s certain that you’re wrong and they’re not dense.

        Good have to define it to be wrong, so take a leap rather than call pretty poo poo heads and run away.

    Wait, what is woke then

      In a quick sentence, wokeness is critical theory, in particular applied to race, known as critical race theory.

      To observe inequalities is not woke; what is woke is to believe that all inequalities or power hierarchies are inherently bad.

        What are some “good” inequalities?

        what is woke is to believe that all inequalities or power hierarchies are inherently bad.

        That sounds like a thinly veiled way of saying you’re a supremacist.

        How can wokeness be a specific academic concept? That doesn’t make sense, CRT is CRT and it’s just an academic lens.

        But what are some examples of social inequalities that are not inherently bad? Your other examples are not social inequalities. You’re looking at something like suggesting what kinds of systematic racism are good actually, not looking at things like the difference in pay between an engineer and a janitor.

    Could you define “wokeness”?

      “Acknowledging that people who aren’t cis white males exist.”
