If woke means “poorly written and pandering to the left” this is accurate on all fronts except Rage, which is awesome.
Woke means to be aware of the fact that there are systematic injustices, and the need to address them.
Don’t let evil men take the word away from us. Stay woke, y’all.
Little babies getting their feelings hurt. If only they could read and understand that woke is a form of being awake/aware and their self owns by making fun of it is blatantly hilarious. Only the media and the right get all up in arms over woke, the rest of us just call it reality.
Imagine that you’re awake, with your eyes open, aware of the issues in the world, and wanting to be part of making it better, and…
…there’s a massive number of people who think you’re a shithead for believing that, and should probably be murdered for it. Just do what they tell you.
Woke has become one of my favourite words. It’s like when i was a kid, and everything was gay. Now it’s woke. He’s playing street fighters one woke controls. And same with the word gay, and how it was used, it was always funny when someone used it as an actual insult and you’re just like: oh yeah, i actually don’t care. Guess i’m woke then.
Fuck you, I won’t do whatcha tell me!
I always wondered if the people who commonly are depicted as the bad guys in movies ever just don’t go to movies because they hate being depicted as evil, but it turns out they just didn’t actually pay any attention to the movies to have noticed the bad guys are basically them.
“No, what I’m doing is different!”
Actually woke is good now because they “defeated” it so now it’s counterculture and therefore cool to be woke again. I don’t make the rules.
Conservatives are scared of literally everything.
It must be exhausting to be such pussies.
Man, why cant anything be FOR the systems of oppression that prop up my fragile masculinity?
Seriously! I started listening to Rage Against the Machine specifically because they had songs like “Thank you, I’ll always do what you tell me” and “Wake Up (to the genocidal leftist conspiracy)”. This whole 180 they’ve made has been devastating.
I guess The Shining was anti-woke since the only person to die (other than Jack) was the black guy.
All woke and no play makes Jack a dull boy
I reckon there is right wing propaganda to normalise vitriol and de-empathise the public to pave the way for full fascism. Many of these accounts complaining about supposed wokeness are probably bots.

Hollywood didn’t go “woke” you just grew up to be a piece of shit.
but is it really shit if it makes a stockholder a lot of money? /s
I just watched Alien (1979) and the damn democraps made it woke. When I was growing up in the 80’s not everything had to be a social commentary. The cops saved people like in Robocop (1987) and the terrorists were stopped like in Star Wars (1977) because America are the good guys. MAGA!!
I’m shocked to learn that the band that wrote Wake Up might possibly be woke!
Rage against the machine became woke? They were über woke before it was a thing.
That’s the joke I guess?
I think I heard a shot…
If by “woke” you mean scientific intelligence, reason, truth, honour and compassion, then I’m all for it.
We can legitimately level a lot of hate at Hollywood and a large swath of “content creators” online for escalating the very idea of “woke” into positions so delusional or terrible that I’m still not convinced it’s not just psyop all the way down. They made the idea of progressivism and social good seem cringe, socially out-of-touch, ham-fisted and unrealistic.
I’d love to see less “recast famous story in new races for controversy and profit” and more original stories that show actual struggles that various groups face because of their ethnicity or other identities. (I’d love to see a superhero movie that goes after corrupt healthcare company CEO’s but someone already tried to make that story on their own.)
They shot themselves in the dick for the express purpose of creating drama and engagement while trying to appeal to their mental image of “liberal america” in pursuit of profit, not ideals.
Honestly, the new Superman movie is a bit of a breath of fresh air, it delivers a powerful social message without falling into the tired tropes and doesn’t sugar-coat it, you know EXACTLY who they’re targeting and who they represent. But they’re also not trying to pander to both-sides. They kept Superman consistent to his values and showed that bad things are in fact, bad. And bad guys exist and are bad. (And they’re usually the wealthy elite.)
Doesn’t woke just mean being aware of issues in your society?
I don’t really see what scientific intelligence has to do with that tbh.
not specifically scientific intelligence, but more so trusting the scientific process that has been developed over centuries, and not refuting all scientific claims that conflict with specific political motives (i.e: believing that climate change is real and heavily influenced by humans and that we should stop polluting == woke. not believing in climate change because Big Oil lobbies ethically compromised politicians that then tell their constituents that climate change is a hoax; being one of those easily manipulated people == anti woke)
Honor’s a sucker’s game, but otherwise yes.
what show is that from?
Star Trek: Lower Decks. Great show, sadly over now after 5 seasons.
It’s more of an ensemble of virtue-signals denoting membership in a certain tribe. Same people tho.
How did you edit this? Please share, I am looking to edit a meme with this template.
graphics person here - so what you want to get is krita or gimp, krita has better UI, gimp is more versitile. Or photoshop if you feel like uhh, borrowing it from adobe (don’t give them money they have enough)
-
put them meme into the software or your choosing
-
now if you can find a tool that says something like “healing” “spot healing” “patch” or “clone stamp” you can use them to remove the text that’s already there, all those tools work a little differently but can get you where you want to be, so play around with them and find your favourite
-
alternatively if that sounds too advanced you can brute force it, it won’t look as seemless but it will get the job done. make a new layer, select a brush with soft edges and ~80% opacity, and then use the eyedropper tool (usual shortcut should be holding alt and clicking on the colour you want) and remove the text by covering it with the same colour that surrounds it. You’ll notice how eventually the colour you sourced doesn’t blend in, then what you need to do is grab a new colour that’s nearby. Rinse and repeat until fully covered and blended
-
add text
-
if your text overlaps some parts of the image you don’t want it to overlap you might find yourself wanting to erase a bit of it and not being able to. That’s because the text is still text, fully editable. To change that you can either convert it to a normal layer (usually done by right clicking on the text layer and looking for something that says “convert”) or (and that’s the better option if you want to keep the text editable) you can apply a mask onto the text layer (should be a button for it next to “add layer” button), then as you have the mask selected draw with pure black over the elements you don’t want the text to cover
i’m basing this mini-tutorial on photoshop so exact names and places of the tools you want might be different, but the process should be the same across most if not all image editing software
whoops, you dropped this while explaining:
👑
No one ever told me this kinda well explained information. Thanks for sharing bro, guys like you are the reason why internet is usable. 🫡
o7 happy to help!

Unfortunately, I just share memes I find, I’m not the creator.
Thats fine. Could you share me where you got this, please.
Uh, I don’t know, Facebook possibly? I don’t label the origin of things I download. There seems to be a signature of some sort as ‘SW HG’, look that up, I guess.
