Yep. Woke is just a shorthand term for the identity politics that came out of Critical Theory. On the left it turned into DEI, BLM and Queer Theory. On the right it turned into identitarianism.
That ...

Hmm, not sure I'd agree they've regressed to a state *worse* than the 50s, but otherwise agree.
Unrelated side-note: Your post didn't appear in my notifications despite it being a reply to me and despite me following your account. :blobcat-thinking: Maybe mostr.pub is lagging with sending out notifications, or maybe it's a problem with my Pleroma instance since your post did actually appear in my timeline. Dunno.

Mr. Menno (a fab gay man) investigates the absurd claims about JK Rowling having been a friend of Epstein, and the claims about Epstein having had something to do with transgender activism or "pushing transgenderism" as some call it. Both are false. There is zero evidence that Epstein had anything to do with JK Rowling, or pro-trans activism, or anti-trans activism.
"Always love facts & reality more than you hate your enemies." Amen to that. :blobcat-joy:

Like I said: Because the opinions expressed in the articles you linked are both common and politically very mild. I'm struggling to understand what would make you think that they prove him to be a bad person.
My best guess is that you spend most of your time in communities in which people are expected to see it as self-apparent that these are "intolerable" opinions, and thinking otherwise is taboo because then you would be seen as one of the intolerable people.

@nprofile1q... Yeah I clicked that and said I didn't break the rule. No response so far. The ban is 24 hours and it wouldn't surprise me if they don't even process the appeal before that duration passed anyway.

Taking a quick look at the links in your blog post that are supposed to prove him to be a bad person, all I see is fairly normal political opinions that I'd say about half of society shares. Opinions that are considered "right wing" now apparently, but would simply be seen as common sense just 10-15 years ago, like not wanting uncontrolled mass migration.
Have you considered that you may be in an echo chamber?

The irony of this is that I said that in the context of a debate about the Canadian ruling which decided that saying you don't believe in gender identity is a form of illegal discrimination.
Honestly so mad about this shit. Hadn't suffered any kind of kick/ban/etc. related to this nonsense in a while because nowadays I just avoid platforms that practice this kind of insane discrimination. It makes me fume.
I wonder if the idiots behind these kind of decisions understand just how angry this kind of injustice makes people, taking away their capability to socially connect with others. It's a pretty serious punishment for some people who rely heavily on this kind of tech to socialize. Suddenly I'm cut off from all my contacts on Shitcord for 24 hours and can't even inform them why I can't respond.

Serves me well for using Shitcord.
