      It’s simply amazing to consider YouTube an enemy when YouTube is basically the soul reason right wing propaganda has spread to the level that it has today. YouTube is the breeding ground for the alt right. Their complaint is literally the opposite of reality, and as I type that I realize I’ve typed that a lot before haven’t I? Same old shit I guess.

      This is absolutely true, but not in the sense this is trying to portray. They censor me hard, and I’m not even that political, just anti-spyware. They censor anything they don’t like, so if you slight them for being a mass-data collection organization that shit all over their own old slogan, they put you on their shit list actively keeping you from being able to speak. Really, Google isn’t “woke” more so just a bunch of pandering opportunist capitalist predators in sheep’s wool. The word “woke” itself has devolved.

    I was curious if they actually bothered to define what “woke” is. Obviously they don’t, you can’t define the boogey man.

    I did find their “how do we rate things” page and the first criteria is: “do they donate to social justice causes.”

    How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?

    Woke, when boiled down to its very basic premise is: giving a shit about other people in society.

    They’re against that so much so that they make websites like this to avoid giving money to corporations that pretend to value other people’s existence?

      Pretty sure the people actually using it in a derogatory manner don’t care about common usage or meaning and use it as a placeholder for the n* word when talking in public. Urban, woke, DEI, East coast elite, etc is all just bigotry and racism.

        Boeing is also woke according to them lol. I know someone who interned at boeing. They made him watch a mandatory anti-racism video where they weirdly focused on racism against white people.

      John Ringo currently has trouble getting his novels published under his own name because he started going mask off and now has to post his racist shit to Substack.

          Yeah, he’s not subtle in his politics, but he only started getting in trouble when the white supremacy angle started to become undeniable.

          It’s one thing to have the Rayndian Ubermensch solve everything with capitalism and bootstraps while that dang guvment tries to get in the way, it’s another to spend a whole book mansplaining that Latino culture will never amount to anything while it’s “obsessed with machismo” while being a sexist prick with a clear rape fetish.

          David Weber is a conservative and a monarchist, but not alt right. Kind of gives Tolkien vibes sometimes, honestly, in that you’re pretty sure he supports the Divine Right of Kings but wouldn’t be okay with war crimes. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t like gay people but he doesn’t go out of his way to beef with them either.

          John Scalzi doesn’t have any damage I know of.

          Dennis E Taylor literally has some characters talking about “both sides” in a recent entry with a plot about shape shifting lizard people controlling the government, but the Bobiverse made me think more classical liberal than ancap wingnut, it’s possible he just doesn’t know that lizard people is conspiracy code for Jewish people. Bobiverse is great regardless.

          There are others. I think. Helldivers by Nicholas Sansbury Smith seemed fine but I wasn’t interested in reading past the first one.

          Edit: Craig Alanson! My current favorite, ExForce is great. Mileage may vary later in the series, Skippy can get a little annoying/abusive.

    Their methodology is basically this :

    1. Find news articles about the company
    2. If it’s a positive article about the company’s environmental work, inclusion statements or supports any Biden policies then BAM woke.
    3. If it’s an article about the company donations to election denying politicians, about the company being accused of racism or about Republican donations then it gets stamped non woke.
    4. Average the results and profit!

    I’m not sure how many articles they “find” or how they decide which ones to include but this website is as hilarious as it is sad. Imagine being so afraid of the word “woke” that you feel the need curate a list of companies to avoid.
