I liked RATM, but then they became political. No thank you.
I liked Motörhead but they also became political like 4 songs into their first album
I liked Bruce Springsteen, but then even he became political!
With a name like Lemmy, I would have never expected it.
They should have been Rage For The Machine!
Hey, now that sounds like a nice Christian band we can all do some toe tapping to!
toe tapping
Is that one of those weird sex things they do instead of intercourse.
Yeah, why can't they go back to their namesake, being a reference to the Matrix!
Superman is woke because he just helps people and doesn't charge a fee.
Sounds like socialism to me. Are you saying Superman is a Commie?
Probably nowhere near as bad as that hippy freak, what was his name... "Jesus"?
Haha what a hippy name. There is actually a good comic series where Superman crashes in Russia. Red Sun I believe?
Why do you think he wear red with a big S on the chest? It's because the S mean Socialism
Of course! And the Nazis wore SS-uniforms which stand for Super Socialism.
Red Son was just a confession!
Well yeah, they're all woke now. They used to be woke before too, but they're still woke now as well, as they should.
It wasn't woke then, because woke wasn't made up yet
Woken was first used in the 1930s to encourage black Americans and other minority groups to be aware of the prejudice and discrimination against them by white Americans.
It's more like the term hadn't become a catchall phrase for the right to dismiss all forms of injustice without having to engage with the actual issue.
Star Wars: Fighting space Nazis
Superman: protecting people from Lex Luthor; evil billionaire
Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Marvel: “Evil is bad, how about let’s not genocide” (ignoring the billionaire worship w/ Iron Man)
X-Men: always been an allegory for LGBTQ+ and disabled folks
RATM: I mean, it’s in the name.
Starting to see a theme here hmm
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Also Rose, the first companion of the new series was constantly showing the viewers the working class's perspective throughout all their adventures, and fighting for those people at every chance.
Then there are also characters like Dr. River Song and Madam Vastra, who are always shown as strong women who can fight their own.
Hmm, is woke woke?
Woke smashed through the floor of woke and wound up on top of woke.
Imagine that you're awake, with your eyes open, aware of the issues in the world, and wanting to be part of making it better, and...
...there's a massive number of people who think you're a shithead for believing that, and should probably be murdered for it. Just do what they tell you.
Woke has become one of my favourite words. It's like when i was a kid, and everything was gay. Now it's woke. He's playing street fighters one woke controls. And same with the word gay, and how it was used, it was always funny when someone used it as an actual insult and you're just like: oh yeah, i actually don't care. Guess i'm woke then.
Fuck you, I won't do whatcha tell me!
Conservatives are scared of literally everything.
It must be exhausting to be such pussies.
Equally exhausting to live in a world where those pussies make all the fucking rules.
Little babies getting their feelings hurt. If only they could read and understand that woke is a form of being awake/aware and their self owns by making fun of it is blatantly hilarious. Only the media and the right get all up in arms over woke, the rest of us just call it reality.
If by "woke" you mean scientific intelligence, reason, truth, honour and compassion, then I'm all for it.
I thought when they said “Wake Up!” they were actually saying “Be passive! The status quo is totally fine!”
I'm shocked to learn that the band that wrote Wake Up might possibly be woke!
All work and no play makes Hulk an angry green man.
Hollywood didn’t go “woke” you just grew up to be a piece of shit.
I always wondered if the people who commonly are depicted as the bad guys in movies ever just don't go to movies because they hate being depicted as evil, but it turns out they just didn't actually pay any attention to the movies to have noticed the bad guys are basically them.
"No, what I'm doing is different!"
Except Starship Troopers, that movie is taken at face value. Would you like to know more?
Rage against the machine became woke? They were über woke before it was a thing.
Rips off Reagan's Star Wars scam, rename it and call the movies it was named after woke. Is that irony? It's stupid for sure.
They all woke up facing the monster.of fascism.
Man, why cant anything be FOR the systems of oppression that prop up my fragile masculinity?
Seriously! I started listening to Rage Against the Machine specifically because they had songs like “Thank you, I’ll always do what you tell me” and “Wake Up (to the genocidal leftist conspiracy)”. This whole 180 they’ve made has been devastating.
I guess The Shining was anti-woke since the only person to die (other than Jack) was the black guy.
They can’t grasp that these things have not changed, but they joined the bad guys so their perspectives changed. They can’t see the billionaires gilded puppet strings manipulating them.
It is most as if the ground state of being is Awake.
Who would have thunk it!?
It's funny cuz it's woke
