I'm a "woke" lefty, ask me anything

[Sek-Raktaa]

I'm a little bored so I thought "eh, why not?"

I'm what conservative or right leaning people like to call "a woke lefty" so feel free to ask me anything and I'll try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

You have only fans?

No.

I can point you to where you can find a lot of art of my sona though. If you're interested in furry artwork that is.

There is a saying that 2 birds in the bush are better than 8 Llamas in a circle of Gooseberries Can you confirm that you are aware of this?

Have you a motorbike license. Did you really want to drive cars?

Can you define fascism in a way you and other woke lefties will agree to and hold to that definition from one sentence to another?

no, if you could fascists would challenge the language itself until the term was meaningless.

Messaggio originale di Bernard The Gurnard:

Are 3 people heavier than two?

statistically speaking no, but it isn't very hard to group 3 people in such a way that it defies statistics.

yes, two people working together to commit a crime is more reliable and safer for everyone than trying to get the whole Mother Goose Brigade involved.

it's specifically because of my immortality that I fear mutilation and severe, painful, long-term injuries.

I've broken every bone in my body including my neck going 180mph and slamming into a chicken coop though. would do it again.

cars have more wheels so you can do more types of wheelies on them, without looking like you're riding a child's bike.

OP. Seriously now.

If you could change the world and make a difference for your family and friends for the better and promote positively across the nations would you advocate either of these for world peace?

The removal of the stamped on painted street warnings that say we shouldn't allow our dogs to drop a turd on the paths lest we tread unwisely or the message on the top of street bins reminding us all to put out fagerretes out so no one has to endure a dreadful horrific burning?

It's a choice you need to make my friend ;-)

Wasn't antifa originally black block to cause chaos during the wall street thing. And wasn't it originally just the government trying to create chaos from within during occupy wall street?

No. Anyone against fascism is anti-fascist.
If you are against fascism, you can call yourself anti-fascist. It is usually used by anarchists and socialists, and is usually against prejudice as well.

"Antifa" is just shortening it.

They summon black blocks to destroy any sort of protests these days even in France so i can believe this to be true honestly.

Yeah. I would normally be cool with protest. But there is always going to be black block there. And no I will not stop calling them black block. And these types have always been around to destabilize things going back to lets say the 1930's. It can be longer than that. But the point is that they have no real interest in the protest and are there to cause trouble only.

You cannot claim to be an anti fachist as you call it if you resort to violence to make your point. Peace is the only solution.

What do you think of the "Serbia Strong" song?

Hi op. I probably agree with you on most things but not about the word woke. How do you feel about it being a red herring, and do you think it's purposes could be less than genuine?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring
"A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences toward a false conclusion. A red herring may be used intentionally, as in mystery fiction or as part of rhetorical strategies (e.g., in politics), or may be used in argumentation inadvertently."

Whats your thoughts of African American voting patterns and political environment of the 1930's that lead to the creation of the word "woke"

My opinion on the word "woke" is that it has no meaning whatsoever. It is so loosely defined that it can mean literally anything and it has meant literally anything because people using the word will very often use that word to describe wildly different things. I've encountered people who like to use the word "woke" and ended up calling entirely different things "woke".

Its a word that has no clear cut definition, no meaning. It is basically just a big umbrella term that anyone who is conservative or right leaning uses to denounce something they don't like and I essentially treat it as such. So I do not take the word all that serious.

Especially when talking about video games, movies, anime or any other kind of media. if somebody, especially a YouTube Critic, uses that word in their review or critique, I tend to take it less seriously because most of the time, whatever it was that these people ended up calling "woke" and pretended was such a huge deal turned out to be an incredibly minor thing that isn't all that important in the end.

A great example is this whole fake controversy about this company, Sweet Baby Inc. There's a few YouTube Content Creators who are trying very hard to push the idea that this one company is somehow responsible for everything evil under the sun for no other reason than to stir up a fake controversy and to make their channels grow. I don't know a whole lot about Sweet Baby Inc, my attitude towards that company is very indifferent, i don't really care but I know for a fact that this one small company has nowhere near the power and influence that certain people try to portray them of having. It's simply not possible.
