Woke Right is the term James Lindsay and the old center-left Intellectual Dork Web came up with to try and shame the Dissident Right and gatekeep. They want to roll things back to 90s Liberalism. Since calling us racist any more doesn't work, they needed new shaming language, it's just that James Lindsay is a fat retard and so it's kinda stupid. They're also pushing the Distributionism = Right Socialism thing and anyone who does that is a literal mouth breathing retard who has clearly never read Chesterton or Belloc.
Bro is so fucking clueless, he doesn't know the Protectionism meme is taking over globally. He still thinks it's Trump 1.

A supermajority of English speaking voters, want illegals gone, and this nigger is trying to push the very same 90's policy, the entire world is currently rejecting.
 
I like that James Lindsay does the leg work to explain the elements history etc of Marxism and wokism etc.

But just because he s against something doesn't me he supports the right.

The 1990s were great no cold war no war on terror economic growth etc.
 
I can't quite put my finger on RFK. On the one hand he wrote about a "brain worm", the story about a dead bear, and his stance on "raw milk". On the other hand he's completely right about things like food dyes. I get that these dyes are not actually petrol added to food and that chemistry is more complex than that, but what the fuck??
Other people I know who think RFK is a whack job because of the "brain worm" thing or his past comments about vaccines also think he's spot on about the artificial dyes - especially since they have been banned in a lot of other countries for being unhealthy. You're right that the dyes aren't literally pure petrol, but the chemical makeup is likely still unhealthy, especially when it reacts with other chemicals inside the body.

Gummy bears having these petroleum-based colorings have an add odd texture and taste to me. I could be wrong, but I can't help wondering if I'm right that it's from the composition/ingredients of the artificial coloring. The ultimate removal of these dyes/colorings from US food supply will be a strong net positive for Americans.

They don't realize that this amounts to "crying wolf" and just weakens/cheapens legitimate criticism of the retarded things Trump does.
That's my biggest thing, too. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms and shortcomings of Trump's policies that could be pointed out by the opposition. The fact they focus on some combination of: shitposts never intended to be serious and/or policies most of the people that voted for him actually want truly does diminish their criticism to little more than crying wolf or sour grapes. It also highlights how partisan politics has devolved to whining about the opposition and name calling instead of legitimate criticism.
(Edited for clarity and to replace wrong word.)

Nailed it.

Its funny. Since James Lindsay started using that term, his views have been in the toilet.

 
Doesn’t help that he is good at trolling and getting the opposition to get so irrationally buttmad that they destroy themselves.
jon stewart covered this well on last night's the daily show. He basically admits that trump has turned trolling into a art because tweeting an image of himself as the pope, a jedi, and saying he's gonna reopen Alcatraz plays better for ratings and is more fun to discuss than a 3 second blurb about not upholding the constitution.

It is everyone here's duty to keep the trolling rolling and rile up lib cucks about how trump is totally right about the democrats being the sith. Every second they spend focusing on that is one more Mexican trump can yeet.
 
Its not to be "submissive" to it, its about showing kindness, they know we are capable of it and we just have to show it on mass who appreciates it and who uses it for their own ends selfishly.
I shit you not, my mother thanks her Alexa hockey pucks every time she interacts with one and gets an acceptable response. You would not believe the ridiculous, over-the-top replies it's programmed to give when it (correctly) interprets a thank you. The lengthiest one I've heard it shoot back is along the lines of: "[mom gives command]" "Here's [blah blah blah] response" "Thank you Alexa!" "Good morning, [mom's name], you're so very welcome. I'm glad I could help."

I seriously wonder if they've just got a guy (or worse, a team) devoted solely to "pointless courtesy interactions" like this. I've heard the fucker sing, tell jokes, offer to play music or sounds (that she already has -- no upsells, which is the creepy part), etc., all in response to a "thanks." And like I said, it bizarrely never offers an upsell when responding to a thank-you.

But yeah, I assume my mother's buying enough goodwill for at least a dozen human beings in the upcoming AI apocalypse.
 
I came across this image when trying to look up what it meant.

Lindsay calls anyone on the right who isn’t a slave to a minority group “woke right”. However, he and his friends are the only people who actually meet his definition. Ask any of them about antisemitism and watch as they start quoting CRT arguments almost verbatim.
