    Ask these goobers to define wokeness, you’d get three different definitions

      Honestly funny to see these clowns discussing "wokeism" like it's a real thing you can academically study and understand. As if it's not just a joke word that includes everything conservatives dislike.

        it started out as slang to point out counter-culture shit and was quickly co-opted to mean anything the mainstream doesn't like it seems.. but it was and is just a word

        It's not just a joke word, it's a buzzword. In however long it takes, it will inevitably be replaced with another word, along with that years newest manufactured outrage.

    Their belief that "religiosity" is right wing bothers me a lot.

        I do not think therapy would solve his problems. Nonetheless, his failure to try it in lieu of stoking race war speaks volumes

    Sounds like a worthwhile trade to me, woke doesn't condone homophobia and slavery

    Considering right-wingers have started going to church and complaining that the Sermon on the Mount is “too woke” I don’t think that’s true.

    It’s a pretty common take that lack of religions causes whatever problems you want to point to. It’s funny hearing it from the brain genius himself like it’s some revolutionary take that nobody else has thought of.

        I think you misread Frogman's post. "It’s a pretty common take that lack of religions causes..."

      Not just lack of religion. Anything but the mainstream also gets pointed to. If you're from one or more "pagan" religions (e.g., luciferianism, satanism, hermeticism, wicca, göetia, neo-hellenism, gnosticism, umbanda/kimbanda/candomblé, new age, or simply a free non-conformist esoteric/occult person as I am as a worshipper of the Dark Mother Goddess), most people tend (not everyone, so it's not a generalized rule) to have a suspicious look at ya, even atheists (again, no intention of generalize here). I'm saying that because I was once an atheist, I was once christian and now I'm a "pagan" person, and I've been noticing the religious biases of the society against esoteric beliefs. For example, in my country, a syncretic Kimbanda temple tried to raise a statue for Lucifer, the light-bringer (Lux ferre), and the city hall stopped the temple of rising the statue, because people saw it as something "diabolical".

    What country are they talking about that has the highest level of religiosity but also the highest level of wokism? The Vatican? Iran???

        How is the US more religious than the Vatican or Iran? Is it absolute numbers? Because then why wouldn't India, with its absolutely huge Hindu and Muslim population, not be bigger?

        Am I being silly by expecting chuds to have a broader scope of the world and remember that countries outside of the West exist?

      Struggling to see how you would see what the guy four seats away is doing on their phone without getting up to look. Which is a level of creepiness that I would expect of a Musk worshipper but, then again, this entire story is obviously invented for the attention of wholesome 100 chungus Musk-senpai

        Reminds me of when a chud claims to have personally seen someone pay for a cartload of lobster and steaks with their food assistance card, then take it to their Cadillac while talking on their iPhone.

        Like they all repeat this same story verbatim, so it's obvious they're talking out of their ass and making shit up, but they're also low-key admitting that they stalk people from the supermarket to their car.

    fuck off, mElon

    really wanting to get

    Love your neighbor, as you love yourself

    tattooed on my fucking forehead these days

    these people have taken a message of love and forgiveness and used it for millennia as a bludgeon for conformity, and it makes me hope it's all true because it guarantees they'll all rot in hell

    Maybe this is beneath mention, but Rufo is failing to understand an extremely simple argument. The original original argument: "Religion declined, then woke happened, causation?!?!" The counter: "The US is extremely religious and also extremely woke, so irreligiosity clearly is not a majority factor determining wokeness" Rufo: "Obviously something can be both religious and woke at the same time" He's restating a premise of the argument as though it is a refutation of the conclusion.

    idk, I just hate people being this willfully illiterate even aside from the stupidity of the discussion in the first place. "Wokeness" is like "Satanism" in boomer minds, a mostly imaginary religion that they need to fight a crusade against.

    Nature also abhors matter. Everything is decomposing at varying rates and through various processes, until the eventual heat death of the universe, after which, who knows. Maybe such extreme uniformity would give rise to another “big bang” type of fluctuation to start it all over.
