The fact that somehow Big Bird and friends were a threat of any sort to society should tell you what kind of asshole they chose to be. Social media platforms like twatter and meta justify in their minds their assholery. Sesame Street didn’t stand a chance against the onslaught of digital dipshit soapboxes.

By the way back then you didn’t have influencers and youtubers telling you what to think, and there were no 6 hours video assay telling you how bad the lastest disney movie (because no other animated movie is worth discussing) is. Honestly back then we either turned on the tv or pop in some vhs or later on dvd and be happy about it. I know it’s wild to think but we didn’t have internt with us all time.

We didn’t have the youtubers or Instagram thots; but we sure had influencers in the form of “talking heads” on television.

There’s something more insidious about these new talking heads tho.

Even before that there was Walter Cronkite, then Peter Jennings.
That was back in an era where everyone watched the same “influencers”. The good part of that was that for the most part, these influencers were rigorously fact checked so the people who watched them agreed on the same set of facts, and those facts were more or less true.
On the other hand, there were times when these “influencers” were biased or even hid the truth. The bias was often something they even had trouble noticing. Like, they all believed communism was a big threat, or that police were trustworthy. As for hiding the truth, sometimes when a politician got in trouble the news would drop the story because of their deference to power. They’d also sometimes try to repeat whatever the government said as truth without checking it, or not investigate bad things the government was doing overseas because they saw that as being patriotic.
Overall, I think it was better when everybody agreed on most things, even if sometimes the news / “influencers” were biased. At least it meant that the government was more or less functional. At least it meant that people were relatively civil with each-other.

1980s GI Joe had a diverse and inclusive team to fight the fascist cult-like Cobra group.
And now we have a Cobra Commander like leader and everyone literally falling over themselves to fawn. Apparently we didn’t learn the other half of the battle.

Violence.
Violence is the other half of the battle. The first half is knowing the right people to perform the violence against, and there’s people that can’t figure that part out either.

Its funny how the word they use to describe those with empathy in this case social empathy is woke. That make them asleep, somnolent or just in a coma.
Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 4 days ago
They tried to co-opt the term for their own uses. They didn’t choose it
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Look up john ringo. Get woke go broke. That is that asshats contribution. They didn’t invent the term snowflake either. The term was in fact first coined to describe them. They got called it enough and took offense enough that they tred to turn it around on those of us who can see how they are.
All of john ringo’s books are the same. You have some libertarian underdog who shows the rest of the characters how they are the most bad ass and/or successful. There is always a ‘woke’ character that every one hates. Its really kind of sad.

somehow I don’t think defending a free public education program from Maga shit is the same thing as being woke-scolded
dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 days ago
It’s the same. And that’s why woke-scolding is nothing worth complaining about. Big ado about nothing.

Then there is also all those mediocre non-voters who empowered by default the motivated-by-hysteria, toxic dregs of society, up and down Main St. and deep within their communities and suburbs.

it was always “woke”
it should be woke
woke is a GOOD thing, and anyone who says otherwise is a sack of shit and should be ashamed

In England, before ‘woke’ and ‘snowflake’ was a saying, people used to say ‘it’s PC gone mad’.
Sincerely, someone whose PC went mad.

I never got how it was ‘bad’ to be woke but at the same time we should ‘wake up sheeple’.

Well, sheeple are the ancient eneny, so you must wake them from the dream that is the world without waking yourself or those you love.
I dont get how you dont understand this.

Right wing ideals have never been consistent. It’s all bluster to push an immediate narrative with no regard to how contradictive it is to their other ideals

TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Exactly. Like, what are TV suppose to teach? Don’t fraternise with black people? Men should always be dominant over women? Empathy is bad? Christianity is the one and only true religion and Muslims should be deported?

People are in their bubbles. People who say that woke is bad are shit. People who say that woke is great are shit. The concept is being used for good and bad for cynically manipulating people to be at each others’ throats all the time because that’s how fucked up shit companies make amazing amounts of money these days apparently.

When the fuck is it bad to be aware of systems and oppression and systems of oppression?

LOL bro-- you’re in the wrong fucking place here
woke is ALWAYS great. the opposite of woke is ALWAYS bad.
i don’t know what your maga motivation is, but it’s weak.
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Maybe you’re confusing being aware with specific choices of how to respond. Being aware is always good, but you can always argue with what people choose to do with that knowledge.

For someone who’s so “woke” you’re really societally unaware. But I guess that might be the point….
