- tokioyoyo 2y agoYeah… People just hate being told what they’re not allowed to do.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIt's a very American attitude to rebel against the tyranny of the government, after all. Something about taxation without representation?
- daeken 2y ago37 here and: yes.
- thiagoharry 2y agoSure. People older than 30 also dislike when the government tries to censor their access to some media.
- est 2y agoPG just wrote a blog, it shows the history of how students in the 1960s holding Mao's Red Book (pun intended) was the origin of the "woke" thing.
- krapp 2y agoPG is full of shit. "Woke" originated within the black activist community and culturally goes back as far as the 1930s. It got adopted and became mainstream within the white liberal progressive community through the popularity of black music artists and social media in the late 20th century. It has absolutely nothing to do with Mao's Red Book or communism.
