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.

I thought it was weird, thanks

Isn’t this a picture of the guy who owned Pollen, the company that scammed hundreds of millions of pounds from customers and paid for a dream wedding abroad costing millions while bouncing cheques to his staff?

Maybe we should be

I haven’t strawman’d them, they literally say China, Russia, Iran and DPRK are great and the West is bad continually. There’s no nuance to their position. At no point have I seen any post or comment from the OP that says “you know what, there’s some good and bad on both sides and maybe we should strive to find the balance in our perspectives” (though I will admit, I haven’t specifically gone through their post and comment history to seek it out).

It’s also not an ad hominem if I believe the person either doesn’t understand what they’re saying/doing or they’re intentionally saying/doing things because they’re themselves propagandised or being paid to say/do it.

Does that mean everyone should just believe every piece of “China is the greatest thing ever and nothing bad has or ever will happen here” as gospel truth?

Those sources boil down to DPRK state media and “some random person online who happens to agree with my POV”

Always funny how the most vehemently anti-propaganda people are the ones most hungry for their own form of propaganda.

You should move to North Korea, Kim would love to have you.

You can fight western narratives without eating up every pro-putin, pro-iran and pro-NK story blindly. You’re just as brainwashed as those you’re supposedly trying to awaken.

Don’t engage with this person, they’re either a teenage pro-putin edge lord or some sort of professional troll.

Bees are almost all female. The males’ job is to fertilise the queen’s eggs, have their penis explode and then die.

Almost as hard as the planet is getting fucked by the computers to make this absolute shite.

Diddy = baddy

You are right. The pilot was drunk and had cocaine in their blood and also wasn’t qualified to fly the plane which was itself dangerously overloaded.

Catalogue of errors that caused the deaths of all 8 passengers.

At least he died doing what he loved. Being in a Teams call about interdepartmental efficiencies.

What did you just say about the interrobang‽

Gross over simplification and also false.

Edit, for those interested, there hadn’t been violent mass resistance in India since the uprisings in 1857. While terrorism and assassinations continued, the Imperial intelligence services (which were one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world) effectively neutered and public opinion in Britain wasn’t affected at all.

The Indian National Army which grew in WW2 with Japanese support certainly worried the Imperial governors but it had been obliterated during the botched invasion of India in 1944 and was never able to fully recover, despite strong support in some regions.

The now hugely powerful and well armed British Indian Army was another source of concern but there was no appetite among the officers for revolution and the ordinary soldiers had mixed loyalties.

Most of the violence within India at the time was actually between the Hindu majority and Muslim minority and not directed against British occupation in any large degree.

It was the non-violent passive opposition of Gandhi and the Quit India Movement, and crucially, the British violent crackdown of it, that shifted public opinion within Britain. Once Churchill was ousted, there was neither the public support, or the political desire for further defense of British rule in India and forced them to the negotiating table.

To say violence was what caused the British to pull out is factually incorrect and that the non violent resistance totalled “jack shit” is ignorant beyond belief.

And the first English speaker who saw one went “you know what that reminds me of, apples. Wait, hear me out, apples on a pine tree.”

British India didn’t care about human rights
