My producers dragged me to see ‘Barbie’ and it was one of the most woke movies have ever seen. My ful review of this flaming garbage heap of a film will be out on my YouTube channel tomorrow at 10am ET.

I normally post news on here but this picture is legit hilarious. Mods feel free to delete if not appropriate 😹

    Well Barbie is an accomplished woman with a bajillion jobs so it’s not surprising the movie is “woke”. Barbie was “woke” for her time.

    I bet they make a fuck ton of money off this movie, once again disproving “go woke go broke”

    Woke is here to stay, it’s called human rights

      “Woke” is the new “politically correct”. If you want know what they really mean, just replace the word “woke” with “treating people with respect” or “respectful”.

      As in, “I hate treating people with respect” or “Hollywood is too respectful nowadays”. “When did the world become so respectful?!?”

        One thing I’ve heard is when conservatives use the word “woke”, just replace it with “uppity”, because once you cut out all the bullshit that’s what they mean. To a conservative, everybody has a place in society in that there are people born onto a natural hierarchy. Black people are inferior to white people, poor people are inferior to rich people, etc., and in true Calvinist fashion it doesn’t matter what choices people make, there’s no action one can take to change their position. Wherever a person happens to be as an accident of birth defines their value. And in that line of thinking, the worst imaginable crime isn’t murder or rape or genocide, it’s upsetting the little caste system they’ve imposed upon the world. Woke ultimately means upsetting the caste system. That includes allowing women to have human rights, letting black people attend college, but even also applying the oh so bronze age concept of rule of law to those who commit crimes against someone “lesser than”.

        Conservatism is literally incompatible with civilized society in the most fundamental sense. Democracy isn’t just at stake, it’s the entire concept of rule of law. If conservatives had their way, every day would be like The Purge.

          Exactly. Like how all the “self-made men who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps” slag off on AOC for having had to work a real job once.

            Even more stupid when you realize that female bartenders make the most tips from sleazy old men who think they can get flirting and phone numbers before they go home to their wives and children lmao

        Anyone upset at that is not worth listening to.

        Unfortunately, assholes like Shapiro have a huge audience of exactly the kind of assholes who gobble this shit up.

        .

        Oh, and they vote consistantly… do you?

        I wonder how they would choose to make such a movie less woke? I’m going to have to ask about that some time.
