    I was curious if they actually bothered to define what “woke” is. Obviously they don’t, you can’t define the boogey man.

    I did find their “how do we rate things” page and the first criteria is: “do they donate to social justice causes.”

    How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?

      How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?

      By first declaring “Social Justice Warriors” to be the enemy and bashing against them at every step for a decade.

      I have a lot of trouble seeing how SJW could be an insult, let alone woke

      Not woke? Still sleepwalking hey?

      (They say “conservative” for “against social justice”; ie “conservative” for “anti-government radical”)

      It’s annoying that these big, evil corporations that woke people hate are considered “woke” by conservatives.

      It’s simply amazing to consider YouTube an enemy when YouTube is basically the soul reason right wing propaganda has spread to the level that it has today. YouTube is the breeding ground for the alt right. Their complaint is literally the opposite of reality, and as I type that I realize I’ve typed that a lot before haven’t I? Same old shit I guess.

        I think more that they mean that alphabet has a massive dei programs. Special teams for minorities, required reporting on dei compliance for orgs, and official recognition of minority holidays etc for their employee base.

    Call it whatever you want, but all I see is a weirdly unexpected avenue for potential solidarity against a major arms manufacturer. Hell, I’ll call it woke if it helps turn Americans against the fuckers building bombs.

      They’re not upset about them building bombs that kill Palestinian children, they’re upset that they also hire black people.

    What the actual fuck!?

    Woke, when boiled down to its very basic premise is: giving a shit about other people in society.

    They’re against that so much so that they make websites like this to avoid giving money to corporations that pretend to value other people’s existence?

    God I hate propagandists so fucking much…

      Don’t forget they’re usually also agains cancel culture, which makes this even better.

      Pretty sure the people actually using it in a derogatory manner don’t care about common usage or meaning and use it as a placeholder for the n* word when talking in public. Urban, woke, DEI, East coast elite, etc is all just bigotry and racism.

    In the MIC, it doesn’t matter what your pronouns are, as long as you can develop things that can effectively turn others’ pronouns into was/were

      Looked at the main homepage… the “not woke” companies seem to be mostly “natural health/holistic” bullshit like you’d hear Alex Jones scream about.

        The whole Rightwing conspiracy grifter thing has ALWAYS been about selling snake oil and ‘cures’.
