Chaya Raichik left sputtering when asked what “wokeness” is as the audience bursts out laughing
Hate influencer Chaya Raichik – who goes by “Libs of TikTok” online – is trying to take her show on the road, and it doesn’t appear to be going well.
Raichik gave a speech yesterday at the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, alongside Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN).
During her speech, she ranted about “pornographic” books in schools and moved on to her hatred of everything “woke.”
…
Some students started laughing.
“Um, do you have a question? Is something funny?” she asked, apparently not expecting people to find her over-the-top concerns funny.
“How do you define wokeness?” someone in the back asked.
Raichik tried to respond: “Wokeness is the destruction of normalicy [sic] and… And… Um… Uh…” More students started laughing.
“… of our lives,” she said, apparently thinking she was finishing a sentence.
You're viewing a single thread.
Govenor DeSantis' lawyer clearly defined "woke".
"The governor's general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
There ya go.
I guess I'm woke, then.
You would be. Fuck you and your common courtesy! #MakeLifeSuck #AnalPineapples

Anyone who's the slightest bit empathetic is. But "conservatives" have poisoned the term.
Then we'll have to reclaim it.
Eh. I'll never be more committed to the term than they will be repelled by it. Maybe we can go back to using "decency" or "empathy"...
So just to be clear... They admitted to the actual definition and are still against it.
Ok folks, we on the left need to start pushing an "anti-puppy kicking" stance just so we can watch the right adopt a "pro-puppy kicking" stance because they have an intrinsic NEED to be in direct opposition to everything that comes from the left.
...well maybe something less harmful than actual puppy kicking, but you get the point.
You jest, but this is literally how some 4chan "culture" was conceived, how they take ground. They just kind of, passively associate otherwise innocuous things with their in group, such as, getting a bowl cut, wearing a hawaiian shirt, drinking milk, using the OK symbol. Having a shaved head, using image macros of a frog from a somewhat decent indie comic, stuff like that. Then, over time, people notice these symbols, begin to associate them with the group, and then the in-group can use the out-group's "ridiculous" reaction as internal propaganda, in order to make their opposition appear ridiculous, and appeal more to moderates who just see the surface level aesthetics of some people getting mad and some people goofing off with something innocuous. This is a legitimate political tactic that has been used and abused quite thoroughly. Generally, though, yes, you would want to use something more innocuous and stupid, rather than something blatantly disagreeable, like kicking puppies.
wearing a hawaiian shirt
Goddammit, really? Those motherfuckers ruin everything.
I don't think it'll get you looked at funny in public, most places, at least, I really hope so, for half my closet's sake, right. But it's definitely become associated with the proud boys and "boogaloo boys". The boogaloo being a word used to describe a highly racialized civil war, purge, day of the rope, what have you, which is coming any day now, rapture style. I think mostly derived from stuff like the turner diaries. A lot of them end up wearing hawaiian shirts because it goes along with their post-ironic fashwave aesthetic. So, probably don't wear a hawaiian shirt to your protest, but, you should've probably been going in black bloc stuff anyways.
God damn, I have terminal online brainrot, huh?
The term "boogaloo" comes from the Internet joke of naming sequels of things like Race War 2: Electric Boogaloo.
There is a post above in my feed about a man from Florida (of course) who was running an animal torture syndicate where he would crash small animals for other people enjoyment.
We should protest that, I'll be a wokie it it gets rid of animal cruelty.
If you don't agree that America is the greatest country on earth that has never done anything wrong then you're a woke fascist antifa communist
...minus the fascist
you're slightly mistaken, they won't adopt a pro-puppy kicking stance, they'll adopt a pro-putting down stray dogs stance. Or something.
So just to be clear… They admitted to the actual definition and are still against it.
This is not surprising in the least. Seems like pretty fundamental to conservative beliefs.
The fun part is, that definition is eloquent.
Raishik obviously isn't.
