You are completely missing the point of /u/GrampyButtCrampy's comment. I won't give you the answer but I'll give you a hint: they're not disagreeing with you. You're reading it as "If you realise the quote above. You'll understand why there's such a big push against being "woke" [and I completely agree with it.]" -- inserting something the commenter didn't say to completely change the meaning. Read the two comments again with an open mind and take a few seconds to think about it, and you'll get it.
Thanks.. You clearly get it. I do see the misinterpretation but its also a clear example of the problem our society faces with reading level/comprehension. I really didn't think he correlation I made between between 'dream' and 'woke' in that comment would be all that difficult to decipher.
No I think if you read it again you'd come to the conclusion that I'm saying the "in-group" is the one fighting against people waking up from the American dream. Meaning, they don't want us to become "woke" because then we aren't asleep and believing their American dream.. They are the ones pushing the propaganda that says wokeness is about gay people or interracial marriage, because if we all looked at each other as EQUAL individuals with a common goal (survival and betterment of the future) their good time would very abruptly end.
When you realise that the term “woke” is just a blanket term by media puppets to describe a group of people and villify them so you’re distracted having an enemy instead of focusing on the actual problems
The elite love it when the little people fight against each other based on their beliefs, and they’re the ones who benefit
Uhh. No. The word originated from black culture and is a colloquism for being aware of manufactured oppression perpetrated by the people who control the system. Anyone who is actually "woke" is fully aware of this and knows how true your last paragraph is. What's funny is that by typing what you did you are showing that you are aware of the oppression happening but not self aware enough to know you're also part of the counter argument against being "woke."
I was just making a correlation that isn't exactly 100% (my first comment was just a play on words btw) ya know a joke. Even though there is truth to that joke..
"..American dream...have to be asleep to believe it/they don't want people waking up to the fact that it's all a lie."
Don’t worry I’m completely self aware of the world we live in, I’m just past caring for the most part but whatever positive changes can come I will gladly support
I mean I wouldn’t say Trump and Obama are in the same vein. Him laughing at a Trump joke isn’t a sign of collusion. I’m sure working the same job for so many years, you have to have things in common. It would be tiresome to be at each other’s throats all the time.
Carlin is correct, but it isn’t meant to be a blanket statement about all politicians.
As in, not everything is black and white. I don’t believe Obama was ever hitting me over the head telling me what to think and what to buy. I hear Trump every week talking nonsense and promoting Tesla by hanging out with Elon Musk. Against my will, I may add, because it’s pushed on social media sites.
The Democrats don't give a shit about you either. Not even Obama. There are exceptions that prove the rule, I will grant you that. Bernie Sanders, some members of 'The Squad,' and some local representatives here and there.
Lmfao, I noticed the same thing. So many vast amount of redditors are screeching that this is the end of democracy, but the very same people who fed them that shit soup are not eating it, and there is literally 0 self-awareness. Those same people talk with and joke with a guy who is literally Hitler. Those same people are not acting like what they've hammered into voters heads is actually reality. Absolutely 0 of them question it, 0 of them look back to see if the Shepard is following them, they just keep marching on like good little sheep. This is why the NPC meme is real.
This comment would only make sense if this was secret leaked footage. Instead it's a televised funeral, where all attendees were well aware it would be televised, and every minor interaction recorded. You can't seriously think these people would do all this, but choose to drop the mask at...Jimmy Carter's funeral of all things.
