Ngl, yesterday, I was on YouTube. Ended up seeing some video, thought it was from a left wing guy because he was complaining about eugenics being weird. Turns out he was actually alt right. That’s how bad American politics have gotten that you can’t even tell the difference between a socialist and a nazi anymore.

I mean, usually when military guys come up with names to try and sound cool they’ll come up with something like black hawk, archangel, Valkyrie, etc. or at least they did back in the day. Now we have a weapons system called "angry kitten." I guess we’re going into battle TikTok egirl style.

They were louder, more virulent, and were smarter about Internet and social media message propagation. Same reason the Woke took over the left for a few years until even the left got sick of their endless performative braying and witch hunting. Difference is, the alt right battles anyone and the Woke types mostly went after soft targets like aged white professors or liberals who didn’t cheer their excesses.

Personally, I’m not a fan of the way that white people have been stealing black slang and using it against black people. For example "black fatigue" was originally slang black people created to express that black people are tired of being oppressed in a white supremacist culture, but it was stolen by white people to complain about black people and dehumanize us.

there is a specific man working for the R party that does this work of taking terms such as critical race theory and woke, and adding it to the relentless complaint machine with their Fox News and so on. It is a powerful propaganda tactic. I can look that name up but maybe later

Honestly, I just find the whole thing really stupid. A bunch of people believe things, they don’t even know why they believe things, they just have meaningless words to use "woke," "dei," "Marxist" that they just throw out to discredit anything that doesn’t make them feel good. If something doesn’t make them feel good they just dismiss it as false and it doesn’t matter how much evidence there is to the contrary and they all think they’re smart but they all repeat the exact same arguments because they aren’t even saying their own ideas.
