can’t forgive whiteness for what it did to the word “woke”
@aescling woke literally means conscious. “damn these people have to much consciousness” like buddy wtf are you on
@aescling meanwhile white people talk about being “pilled” like it's a good thing
@Lady something something their preoccupation with being “[free]based”
@aescling Lil B endorsed Bernie Sanders
@Lady i’m not sure what you’re getting at?
@aescling lil b is the originator of the term based; i’m pointing out that white people’s interpretation of “based” as antiwoke is revisionist and incorrect
@Lady i mean i would argue the word has just been culture-jacked at this point but yeah
@aescling not sure i agree; white nationalist culture is a bubble and has not proven that it has enduring power
@Lady word’s always gonna be sus to me regardless
there are good faith ways of identifying a tendency you don’t like as “identity politics” but if you identify the same tendency as “woke·ism” in the same sentence i’m gonna think that’s sus as hell
