They're turning the bombs gay.

[-] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 70 points 5 months ago

The bombs change your pronouns to “was/collateral damage” 🥰

Bombs have been gay since the 90s: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 9 points 5 months ago

I heard they’re developing a bomb that makes people gay.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I would say that would solve a lot of problems, but there are a lot of closeted self-hating conservatives.

That's actually how I feel like many are arguing. I don't like it, because it's woke. And it's woke, because I don't like it

Apparently, Google is the queen of woke.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 34 points 5 months ago

It's annoying that these big, evil corporations that woke people hate are considered "woke" by conservatives.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

It's annoying

I find it hilarious that Google is getting hate from both sides. It's not like they don't deserve it, DEI aside.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

It's simply amazing to consider YouTube an enemy when YouTube is basically the soul reason right wing propaganda has spread to the level that it has today. YouTube is the breeding ground for the alt right. Their complaint is literally the opposite of reality, and as I type that I realize I've typed that a lot before haven't I? Same old shit I guess.

Fellas, is it woke for YouTube to funnel viewers towards pro-fascist videos?

DEI is woke. I guess I should've realized this sooner.

Truck drivin', bible-thumpin', gun totin' knuckledragger in Texas:
"I ain't gonna buy Lockeed Martin products, I'm gonna boycott them! Make 'murica grate agin!"
Proceeds to angrily keep on NOT buying surface-to-air missiles.

I was curious if they actually bothered to define what "woke" is. Obviously they don't, you can't define the boogey man.

I did find their "how do we rate things" page and the first criteria is: "do they donate to social justice causes."

How do you literally say "I am against social justice" and think you're the good guy?

[-] Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

How do you literally say "I am against social justice" and think you're the good guy?

By first declaring "Social Justice Warriors" to be the enemy and bashing against them at every step for a decade.

What the actual fuck!?

Woke, when boiled down to its very basic premise is: giving a shit about other people in society.

They're against that so much so that they make websites like this to avoid giving money to corporations that pretend to value other people's existence?

God I hate propagandists so fucking much...

[-] Lemzlez@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Don't forget they’re usually also agains cancel culture, which makes this even better.

Pretty sure the people actually using it in a derogatory manner don't care about common usage or meaning and use it as a placeholder for the n* word when talking in public. Urban, woke, DEI, East coast elite, etc is all just bigotry and racism.

Fun Fact: Novelist John Ringo is usually given credit for inventing that slogan.

John Ringo currently has trouble getting his novels published under his own name because he started going mask off and now has to post his racist shit to Substack.

(Okay I'd still buy an actual end to the Aldenata and Looking Glass series, but still)

Boeing is also woke according to them lol. I know someone who interned at boeing. They made him watch a mandatory anti-racism video where they weirdly focused on racism against white people.

Boeing is the opposite of woke.

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 30 points 5 months ago

Mandatory training always covers things some idiot once did, and now everyone has to suffer through dumb videos.

“Liberate yourself from the corporate wokehold.”

Thank you. I haven’t even looked up any companies yet and it’s already hilarious!

Thanks, finally we can easily avoid "woke free" companies

Sorry guys, Pfizer is "Extremely Woke" too.

I mean, that was obvious to anybody paying attention in 2021.

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 36 points 5 months ago

Their methodology is basically this :

Find news articles about the company
If it's a positive article about the company's environmental work, inclusion statements or supports any Biden policies then BAM woke.
If it's an article about the company donations to election denying politicians, about the company being accused of racism or about Republican donations then it gets stamped non woke.
Average the results and profit!

I'm not sure how many articles they "find" or how they decide which ones to include but this website is as hilarious as it is sad. Imagine being so afraid of the word "woke" that you feel the need curate a list of companies to avoid.

They don't even have ratings for Nestlé or Coca-Cola. What the fuck is this

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 5 months ago

Nestle isn't woke. It's evil. That's why it's not listed.

I'm looking at their page for General Mills and I'm like "which part of this is so disagreeable that you'd boycott them?" 😂

[-] Dendr0@fedia.io 12 points 5 months ago

Looked at the main homepage... the "not woke" companies seem to be mostly "natural health/holistic" bullshit like you'd hear Alex Jones scream about.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
