I liked RATM, but then they became political. No thank you.
I liked Motörhead but they also became political like 4 songs into their first album
I liked Bruce Springsteen, but then even he became political!
I liked the dead Kennedys before they got all political too…
I think you can like Kid Rock, I don’t think he’s woke yet.
With a name like Lemmy, I would have never expected it.
At least they never went full Motörhead.ml
I’m not familiar. What happened?
They should have been Rage For The Machine!
Hey, now that sounds like a nice Christian band we can all do some toe tapping to!
toe tapping
Is that one of those weird sex things they do instead of intercourse.
Yes, through a hole in a sheet. At Cracker Barrel.
i honestly find all of these sex replacement things rather funny. it definitely shows some creativity
For real, “soaking” while the other “abstinent” couple jumps on the bed to bounce them around is a good one. Mormons and promise ring culture is so fucked though.
umm… could i have more details, please?
Yeah, why can’t they go back to their namesake, being a reference to the Matrix!
um, didn’t they break up a long time ago?
You just repeated the same maga comment you can find in any thread anywhere ever. What are you guys smoking?
It was a joke…
This is a post-joke society
Eh, it keeps me going. I think I’ll continue.
This is a post-pointing out what kind of society it is society.
I like this. Thanks.
You’re welcome 😁
I know that context is sometimes hard to discern in text, but good god that was an obvious one.
This isn’t reddit, you have to identify sarcasm all on your own, without the /s
Superman is woke because he just helps people and doesn’t charge a fee.
Sounds like socialism to me. Are you saying Superman is a Commie?
Probably nowhere near as bad as that hippy freak, what was his name… “Jesus”?
Jesus? That’s Sounds like an immigrant. Better deport him before he rapes someone or eats a cat .
Haha what a hippy name. There is actually a good comic series where Superman crashes in Russia. Red Sun I believe?

Shh, don’t say that too loud. You wanna get a lightning bolt in the arse?

Why do you think he wear red with a big S on the chest? It’s because the S mean Socialism
Red Son was just a confession!
Didn’t one of the old superman actors recently come out to complain that superman is woke. He literally played the character and didn’t get it.
In the same breath, he worries about the new Snow White being too woke too.
The one that checks notes costars Gal “Genocide Barbie” Gadot, a former Apartheid soldier who still looks back on her imperialist oppressor days fondly.
If there was ever a doubt that Dean Cain is a colossal idiot whose opinions should always be ignored as the ramblings of a willfully obtuse cockwomble, that should remove the last of it.
Star Wars: Fighting space Nazis
Superman: protecting people from Lex Luthor; evil billionaire
Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Marvel: “Evil is bad, how about let’s not genocide” (ignoring the billionaire worship w/ Iron Man)
X-Men: always been an allegory for LGBTQ+ and disabled folks
RATM: I mean, it’s in the name.
Starting to see a theme here hmm
Babylon 5: Fighting Earth fascists. Hey, wait a damn minute…
I always thought X-Men was about civil rights…
Yeah it’s an allegory for racism and civil rights.

Idk if it’s in the comics too, but in first class or some movie, Magneto is depicted as a holocaust survivor. It’s in fact a big part of his identity.
It’s in the comics too.
Figured as much, just haven’t read them myself
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Also Rose, the first companion of the new series was constantly showing the viewers the working class’s perspective throughout all their adventures, and fighting for those people at every chance.
Then there are also characters like Dr. River Song and Madam Vastra, who are always shown as strong women who can fight their own.
Also the second companion, Martha, was a black medical student. One of the best companions too, up there with Amy and Clara if you ask me. Wish she’d gotten more than one season.
Agreed. Definitely wanted to see more of her.
She’s in quite a few episodes of Torchwood, I think maybe a main character in one of the final seasons even
New Who has always been woke AF I don’t know why they minimized it so much in the other comment. Like, yes the main doctor is almost always a white man, but the show itself has often (and even more so in recent episodes) had a clear “woke” agenda. And I’m not saying that in a negative sense. The showrunner for much of it was/is a gay “absolutely happily left wing” man ffs.
Edit: also, this thread talking about strong female leads jn Dr Who and not discussing Donna Noble is just wrong.
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Don’t forget about the wokeness of the 15th and 16th Doctors.
Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)
Everyone’s a billionaire in Star Trek. But oddly enough, everyone is controlled by a huge naval organisation.
Nah, most of humanity at least is either living idyllic lives, or chose to live on a frontier world or research station or something. Starfleet’s just the exploratory arm of the Federation; but that’s where most of the fun stories are!
Well yeah, they’re all woke now. They used to be woke before too, but they’re still woke now as well, as they should.
It wasn’t woke then, because woke wasn’t made up yet
Woken was first used in the 1930s to encourage black Americans and other minority groups to be aware of the prejudice and discrimination against them by white Americans.
It’s more like the term hadn’t become a catchall phrase for the right to dismiss all forms of injustice without having to engage with the actual issue.
It’s especially pathetic seeing European right wing politicians use the phrase. It’s always fun to challenge them to define it because they can’t.
If by “woke” you mean scientific intelligence, reason, truth, honour and compassion, then I’m all for it.
Honor’s a sucker’s game, but otherwise yes.
what show is that from?
Star Trek: Lower Decks. Great show, sadly over now after 5 seasons.
Doesn’t woke just mean being aware of issues in your society?
I don’t really see what scientific intelligence has to do with that tbh.
not specifically scientific intelligence, but more so trusting the scientific process that has been developed over centuries, and not refuting all scientific claims that conflict with specific political motives (i.e: believing that climate change is real and heavily influenced by humans and that we should stop polluting == woke. not believing in climate change because Big Oil lobbies ethically compromised politicians that then tell their constituents that climate change is a hoax; being one of those easily manipulated people == anti woke)
I see scientific intelligence as pursuing truth, which means being aware, I guess.

It’s more of an ensemble of virtue-signals denoting membership in a certain tribe. Same people tho.
Imagine that you’re awake, with your eyes open, aware of the issues in the world, and wanting to be part of making it better, and…
…there’s a massive number of people who think you’re a shithead for believing that, and should probably be murdered for it. Just do what they tell you.
Woke has become one of my favourite words. It’s like when i was a kid, and everything was gay. Now it’s woke. He’s playing street fighters one woke controls. And same with the word gay, and how it was used, it was always funny when someone used it as an actual insult and you’re just like: oh yeah, i actually don’t care. Guess i’m woke then.
When I first started my current job a couple of years ago, there was a discussion going on in the office complaining about ‘woke’, albeit fairly mildly, which I wasn’t really participating in. My boss, who’s ex-army asked ‘Are you woke Almacca?’, to which I replied ‘I’m woke as fuck.’ She hasn’t brought it up again since. :)
The “anti-woke” men at my office once crowned me the “woke police” because I commented on one of their sexist/racist/homophobic/ whatever “jokes”. It’s my badge of honour. The weird part is that we kinda entered into some sort of cold war. I could comment on their “jokes”, pretending it was in jest as part of my job as “woke police”, while still getting the message across. I guess it kinda kept some semblance of friendliness and ability to cooperate while we still got our opinions out.
Fuck you, I won’t do whatcha tell me!
Oh No! Not Rage Against the Machine! How could they!
Wait, they’re not upset about their vacuum cleaner after all? Who knew?
Always assumed it was a printer
I don’t think even Satan would wish printers on mankind.
Well, all those nazis popping out everywhere are a problem, yes, but if you make some movement against printers, I can get behind it too.

That’s the joke I guess?
I think I heard a shot…
Conservatives are scared of literally everything.
It must be exhausting to be such pussies.
Equally exhausting to live in a world where those pussies make all the fucking rules.

too many people nowadays are brainwashed by public media. we have to somehow get people off facebook
Actually yes, they changed. Dr Who literally changed sex and race.
He has always changed personalities ever since the first regeneration in the 60s
But that isn’t what I said, now is it.
Except Starship Troopers, that movie is taken at face value. Would you like to know more?
If those fuckers could read I wonder what they’d think of the book.
I’m doing my part!
Clancy Brown is fucking amazing.
MEDIC!
I’m shocked to learn that the band that wrote Wake Up might possibly be woke!
Star Trek has always been woke. Since day one!
Hollywood didn’t go “woke” you just grew up to be a piece of shit.
but is it really shit if it makes a stockholder a lot of money? /s
Little babies getting their feelings hurt. If only they could read and understand that woke is a form of being awake/aware and their self owns by making fun of it is blatantly hilarious. Only the media and the right get all up in arms over woke, the rest of us just call it reality.
