    That’s so ass backwards I refuse to believe it’s real. Big, greedy corpos spreading their… socialist agenda. I’ll bet you an Australian dollar (or whatever they use) they’re just thinking of pride month.

      Emu wounds. You show your scars from being bitten and if the merchant is suitably impressed with your collection, you get wares.

      In emergency situations, globs of Vegemite can be used in stead.

      I have met these people. I am related to these people. Op might not be real, but for a fact there are people who genuinely believe this shit. It’s so incredibly frustrating to know they are so close to understanding, but so very, very far ever believing the explanation

        They are saying the same thing but mean something entirely different.

        This dude is saying something along the lines of “corporations wouldnt pander so much to the LGBTQ communites if they were run by regular folks like me” rather than “the C-suite of corporations are robbing us blind and we cant do anything because they have so much power that effectively organizing against them is impossible”

      It’s very simple, really. You’re correct, they simply believe that “wokeness” is socialism and kinda just lump it all together. Define it as “things I don’t like/am too stupid to understand” and then it become a synonym for so many things!

      But yea they hate that companies have realized that the majority population doesn’t like racism or homophobia and that they can make more money by at least pretending to be better. They also don’t realize that capitalism actually worked in this case and the customers were able to pressure the companies into compliance.

      The comment is wrong in so many fascinating ways but it’s all consistently wrong so I’m not at all surprised that it’s real.

      When socialism is presented as ‘everything bad’ in your life with no nuance you begin to default it to that, not even thinking of it’s origins or uses

        That’s the plan though, right? GOP Politicians want to convince people that everything good for them is bad so they can make their rich friends richer.
