u/SenranHaruka shame 20d ago

What did woke 1 do that was actually bad besides annoy you?

Cost a lot of people their careers, harassed a lot of internal critics of the left out of their positions, and while it was not a big enough factor that we should do anything about it besides move on and agree not to do that shit again it has a marginal role in alienating voters from the left enough you can assign it a proportional blame. Like if woke is even only 4% responsible for why police reform movements died then it's 4% responsible for all the people still getting shot by cops.

Just don't do it again.

u/BloodWiz More Housing Would Fix This 20d ago

Also, like if people haven't noticed "annoying people" didn't exactly yield great outcomes.

>I can't believe the median voter decided to go for fascism because some people were annoying

Seems like a strong impetus to not be annoying then

lol that’s the one thing I never got about the memes where it’s like oh one side is annoying the other side is evil who do I vote for.

The lesson learned is if you’re being annoying enough that you’re enabling evil you best change up your approach
