 You know why certain people don’t want kids to be taught “wokeism”? Because if kids find out what “woke” actually means, they’ll discover that they have more in common with people who exist in the margins than privileged billionaires. This is why the likes of Elon Musk want to “own” social media so badly. They believe if they own the means of communication, they own our thoughts too. 13 comments
 @atomicpoet Possibly, but I think it's closer to a secular or religious compound without walls. Keep all of 'em dumb and keep the women pregnant. Never ask "why?" and never question their "leaders." The standard answer for the religious zealots is "...you have to take some things on faith."  @atomicpoet  @atomicpoet History has shown that they are not wrong. The rich have been using "divide and conquer" for almost all of our history, and it has been more than a little successful.  @atomicpoet I think there is a basic Psychology that can’t be eradicated but always is a mindset easily fallen into: - Not wanting to care too much about others; they don’t deserve it, you need to focus on yourself and no one else is doing it so you’ll be left behind - ignoring those who are charitable or ethical because you don’t want to feel bad that others are better than you, as, per above, that’s an invalid Self Evaluation IE Absolute selfishness and ethical denial.  @atomicpoet I read a very good oped by a retired Canadian senator the other day.

If you want to know who I stand with, it’s with:
1. The teenage girl who’s forced to carry her pregnancy to term
2. The African-American man who got “randomly” stopped by police at an intersection
3. The indigenous elder denied clean drinking water
4. The transwoman scared to go to the bathroom
5. The young man sent to war and had his limbs blown off
6. The refugee denied asylum
I’m on their side.
Now that you know that, go follow and listen to people with those lived experiences.
