Starting to think the definition of "#woke" is just that it's a synonym of "true". Reasoning later.#blackmastodon #foxnews

I recently rewatched a Louis Rossmann video called "DO NOT ACCEPT THE PREMISE OF ASSHOLES". https://youtu.be/T38pZ9pFXA0It features very heavily the #anti-intellectualism of #Twitter takes, where they read a thumbnail or see a headline and jump so far off the evidence deep-end that they end up in conclusion hell. It's fundamentally just how rumors and #propaganda spread.

I think this cycle can be generalized to all tabloid mainstream news coverage like #foxnews. A good news source who follows the market model a little more closely than the propaganda model is not going to ever have to pay a 757 million dollar lawsuit because they basically don't parrot misleading information.You're never going to see @ProPublica paying that kind of money to settle a lawsuit because their reporting is solid.

Anyhow, #foxnews can't blatantly, unapologetically lie to their viewers anymore. If they want to keep that same disinformative vibe going they need a euphemism.Enter "#woke".

"Woke" basically stands in as a euphemism for all the aggregated historical facts that #foxnews is unwilling to tell their audience. Relevant comic below:
