Disturbing instance of anti-woke brainwashing

A “local spot”?

OP, how do you feel about the above diatribe? Maybe said by one of your friends venting with a glass of wine? I’ve definitely heard things similar to that in the last few days.

But if it’s the other side’s venting (with a vape pen *gasp* rather than an expensive glass of wine) suddenly it’s the end of the world?

1. No mainstream liberal is saying Supreme Court justices need to be "eradicated," "crushed," or "destroyed." Those are words of violence. At worst they're saying they should be impeached or the court should be packed but those are VERY different things.

2. The Supreme Court ACTUALLY IS putting Americans in danger - women will DIE because of their partisan hackery. The Supreme court ACTUALLY IS taking bribe from billionaires and ruling in their favor. The Supreme Court ACTUALLY IS full of rapists and sexual abusers. Yet on the other side, "woke" isn't even a real thing. There is no conspiracy coming for you. The people losing their minds, casting their votes, being radicalized to harm people over "wokeness" can't even tell you what it is! It's not OK to call for violence against opposing views but being angry over something that's actually destroying our country is very different from being angry over a boogeyman made up by FOX news and pushed by con men who know their base is too dumb to realize.

Um, some woke stuff is troubling. You know like progressive criminal justice reform that lets dangerous speeders with $12,000 in tickets not have to lose their drivers license and then they go and smash into three people on Rick creak and kill them. Or how dc didn’t prosecute 70% of arrests last year. Or how leniency is essentially the response to violent crime. Or how woke education reform is basically inflate grades, end ap classes and out remedial learners with advanced students, or water down educational vigor to accomplish goals. I mean there are some “woke” things worthy of being critically analyzed, but of course that’s not allowed. Can’t talk about it.

Also, super weird that you think a pizza guy shouldn't have political views that differ from a rich person.

Here’s the thing:
We don’t talk about or even think about “conservative parents” unless you’re doing batsh#t crazy things like trying to ban books or threatening our teachers or local school board. Like, you’re not a topic of conversation in our lives unless you’re getting up to some crazy-ass stuff. Going back to your point - I would definitely be weirded out if someone I knew said “Conservative parents must be destroyed and eliminated.” However, the more likely scenario is that such words would never be uttered because I surround myself with stable people.

This gets to the rub of the matter:
why does “Woke” - a fictional concept - live rent-free in conservatives’ heads?

I can't speak for conservatives because I am liberal. However, some of the craziest woke ideas are actually being implemented in progressive places such as NoVA and MoCo. Normal people of all political affiliations are fed up and they're starting to push back.

Don't forget about males being allowed to play girls' sports in MCPS if they simply say they are girls.

What are these woke ideas, exactly?

YOU sound VERY crazy YOURSELF do you HEAR it?

If you read that and you thought the problem was the way I used capitalization to emphasize speech you've got an actual mind virus and it sure isn't "wokeness."

Sorry dude. My gripe is how people are stretching thin the social justice movement of the last few years to shoe horn in questionable policies related to crime and education. I have no gripe with transgender folks. I am more concerned that violent criminals are basically being given a pass.

It's so funny how progressives tripped over themselves 2 years ago to tell everyone to "get woke" and "stay woke." Now it is a fictional concept. Why should we buy into things like nonbinary, etc, when you all will eventually admit it's fictional? Credibility issues.

Um… just wow. Are you for real? There are Latinos who are not immigrants (or even who are) and are perfectly capable of speaking English like this.

And then you would recognize the person as "Latino" how? I mean, maybe the person was "Irish"? I notice you cut off the top of your comment where you said that the OP probably didn't say the person's race/ethnicity because the person was probably "Latino".

So yesterday, I go to pick up a pizza from a local spot near our house in the DC suburbs. A bunch of the pizza delivery drivers are in the parking lot, taking break between deliveries. Some are dozing in their car.

One of the drivers is sitting on the asphalt ground, smoking his vape pen, and animatedly talking to someone on the phone:

“Yes, the Woke need to be eradicated and destroyed. I don’t care how we do it, but everything and everyone Woke needs to crushed. That’s what Trump was all about, and why Biden is a disaster. If we don’t destroy the Woke, this country is done.”

He kept going on and on, repeating himself to whoever was on the phone. I hustled my kid into the car, as my kid could tell the guy was angry.

Wtf is happening in this country that a pizza delivery guy is spending his time so angrily talking about “Woke”?

He sounded like a religious nutcase.


😆 I don’t know, lady, of all the places in this country for a working class person to be ranting about wokeness, near your house in the DC suburbs probably makes the MOST sense


Non sequitur. “DC suburbs” extends out a good 30 miles. The language wasn’t really appropriate in any location.


So what? The whole area is deep blue compared to the rest of the country. The original post could be studied as a textbook example of smug liberalism.

Are you OP? Who the heck are you to police the “language” of a bunch of guys on break from their working class job?

If the guy were white OP probably would have said so to bolster the OMG-Trump-Supporters picture you were trying to paint so I’m betting the guy was Latino or otherwise non-white. And OP just seems absolutely clutching-pearls horrified that a person like that disagrees with OP’s own politics.

Doubt it. The syntax/vocabulary used is not something a native Spanish speaker who has learned English would use. Especially the "needs to be crushed" and "this country is done" phrases.

OP here: the pizza delivery man who was speaking on the phone appeared to be Caucasian.

You, OP, are a modern day Macarthyist. Except instead of hunting purported communists, you can’t stand anyone who holds a centrist or right leaning opinion. Get a grip.

Lots of Hispanics are white. In any case, it's okay for people to be passionate about politics.

I don’t even know where to start. No one on the court took a “bribe” to rule in anyone’s favor. No one on the court is a “rapist.” I could go on but there are separate threads on these underlying issues and the point is that you sound unhinged and are in no position to be piling on to a pizza delivery guy for venting about politics.
