       When I tell you that your favorite VCs sit around in chat rooms with nazis, you think I'm joking. 🤷🏿‍♂️https://www.huffpost.com/entry/richard-hanania-white-supremacist-pseudonym-richard-hoste_n_64c93928e4b021e2f295e817Woke means Black. It's a Black saying.Passing a law called "Stop woke" or saying "I'm anti-woke!" is equivalent to passing a law called "anti-Shabat Shalom" or "anti-Ni-Hao," but then trying to claim that you are not anti-semitic or sinophobic. It makes no sense.Most of these VCs, writers, and politicians are irredeemably racist, and hate you on a visceral level.

       When you say "No, anti-woke doesn't mean anti- Black! It also means [things that aren't Black] too!" that's like saying "No, anti-Shabat Shalom isn't anti-semitism! They hate [group that isn't Jewish] too!"Because woke means Black. Woke is a Black saying. Saying that you are anti-woke means that you are anti-Black.And racists and Nazis hate Black people, Jewish people, women, LGBTQIA people, and many other marginalized groups. Racist men do not care about your reproductive rights.

       @mekkaokereke I finished reading "Live Work Work Work Die" recently and it's got two very incisive chapters on the lunatics who run Silicon Valley. People really haven't wrapped their heads around just how hostile people like Thiel, Sacks, Musk, et al are to the very idea of secular democracy -- which isn't unique -- but having multiple lifetimes worth of free cash to spend on fascism is relatively unprecedented.

       @klausfiend Yes.  In 2009 thiel wrote:“Most importantly, I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible."Its crazy that thiel has been so open about his fascism for so long and yet its so rarely reported on.https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/education-libertarian/@mekkaokereke

       If you know that these anti-woke people are anti-black racists, with dangerous white supremacist and eugenicist beliefs, who are trying to enable ethnic cleansing to create a whites only ethnostate, and you support them anyway? You are deplorable.If in 2023, you still don't realize what these dudes believe, and that they are serious in trying to implement it, and you let these racists decide how Black history should be taught, and how Black people should be allowed to vote? You are misguided.

       @mekkaokereke Absofinglutely.... spot on, but I must add. These people, you mention, are probably 99% self-described Christians. I don't care about interpretation arguments, Christianity is evil!

       @lednabm@c.im @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Nobody would ever accuse me of being religious or pro-religion, but "Christianity is evil" is akin to "No True Scotsman". Christian is as Christian does, is more like it. It's human, and runs the gamut. Do I think religious dogma is harmful? Yes. At scale, it is harmful. But does that make it evil? I'm not sure that (a) a collective behavior can be evil... it's more like a storm or earthquake, to me; and (b) "evil" exists.Honestly, I think Hobbes' Leviathan was right... we live in a state of existential anarchy, and we build various forms of social order within that, as a way of limiting the chaos and uncertainty that anarchy permits.

       @Fayedray@mastodon.social @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io @lednabm@c.im And black Christians? Are they also evil?It's No True Scotsman fallacy... There are no "good" Christians or "bad" Christians. No "real" Christians. No "fake" ones. It's all fake, subjective human belief in magic man walking on water
