The world presented to us by our woke masters is a world that is by turns tedious and terrify, both inane and insane, a world run by the inmates of a mental institution. Rod Serling made an entire career out of presenting nightmarish scenarios of a coming world devoid of rational thought in his hit series ‘The Twilight Zone’. Today we live in the twilight zone, and woke Microsoft is proof of that.
“A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?” Ecclesiastes 10:14 (KJB)
I am so glad I unplugged a few years back, turning off forever things like the evening news, Monday Night Football, endless propaganda commercials and the relentless indoctrination of the state run media. My ad blocker is always turned on, and I stream to create the content that I wish to view. I will not bow to ‘personal pronouns’, and no, I will not be celebrating your diversity. Enjoy this video of woke, social justice warrior Microsoft employees making fools out of themselves, but don’t laugh too hard, they’re coming for you next.
Woke Microsoft Encourages Employees To State Race, Gender During Presentations FROM WASHINGTON FREE BEACON: Videos from last week’s Microsoft Ignite conference show employees reciting “visual descriptions,” which are meant to make blind audience members aware of presenters’ biases. In one video, program manager Allison Weins opened her remarks by saying she was “an Asian and white female, with dark brown hair.”
In a blog post released after the conference, Microsoft notes that it does not require its presenters to provide visual descriptions but recommends mentioning “distinguishing characteristics like hair color, race/ethnicity, gender, clothing, and background details to avoid unconscious bias.” The presenters at Microsoft’s conference all highlighted their race, preferred gender pronouns, and outfits.
One of the Microsoft presenters who used visual descriptions, Nic Fillingham, directed the Washington Free Beacon to a video explanation of visual descriptions in which an activist explains the practice is “intersectional” and that visual descriptions “help fight racism, sexism, and classism.” Fillingham introduced himself by saying, “I’m a Caucasian man with glasses and a beard, I go by he/him, and I’m a security evangelist here at Microsoft.”
Neither Microsoft nor its PR firm responded to requests for comment.
In her opening remarks, Weins also noted that Microsoft wanted “to acknowledge that the land where the Microsoft campus is situated was traditionally occupied by the Sammamish, the Duwamish, the Snoqualmie, the Suquamish, the Muckleshoot, the Snohomish, the Tulalip, and other Coast Salish peoples since time immemorial. A people that are still here, continuing to honor and bring to light their ancient heritage.”
“LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS” HAVE COME INTO VOGUE IN RECENT YEARS IN SOCIAL JUSTICE CIRCLES. ACCORDING TO THE PORTLAND, ORE., CITY COUNCIL, WHICH CARRIES OUT A “LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT” BEFORE EVERY MEETING, THE PRACTICE CAN HELP “MAKE AMENDS” FOR CENTURIES OF COLONIALISM. MICROSOFT FREQUENTLY HIGHLIGHTS ITS WORK WITH NATIVE AMERICANS, INCLUDING HIRING A NATIVE AMERICAN CONTRACTOR FOR A DAY TO HELP DESIGN A NATIVE AMERICAN VIDEO GAME CHARACTER. MICROSOFT HAS NOT ANNOUNCED PLANS TO RETURN LAND IT OWNS TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLES.
When will things stop getting dumber. This is insanity.
If you’ve got stock in MSFT - sell it.
They’re done.
When someone boots up Windows 11 will it identify as a lightweight and dependable OS?
It’s insane.
Glad I got no MSFT.
It doesn't work that way--where a woke company invariably does itself in within some reasonable investing timeframe.
Consider Target, which enraged most on FR with its perverse "if you feel like a woman, you are" bathroom policies. I believe its gone up something like 6 times from where it was during the conservative boycott talk over their bathroom policy.
Go woke, go broke.
C’mon microsloth, you can do it!

Hahahahahahaha!!
Thank you, God, that I am too old to have grown up with this stupidity.
I identify as napoleon. I go by general sir.
I have been reading a book by Victor Klemperer (a Holocaust survivor). The book is about how the Nazis corrupted language as part of their mind control scheme. Klemperer said that Jews had to announce themselves like this: “I am Goldberg, the Jew.” So if the police summoned you for an interrogation, you had to announce your arrival with, I am (last name), the Jew.” If you left out “the Jew” they would beat you.
We seem to be getting to the same place with Woke language. “I am Smith, the white person.” I don’t believe P.O.C. have to announce themselves like that. But if you are white, you have to apologize for being white and it is a confession of guilt, but they will never forgive you for the sin of merely existing. The Wokesters are more and more like the Nazis all the time.
I am a human being who goes by grammatically correct pronouns.
I am the ogre, neesh.
“I’m A Caucasian Man With Glasses And A Beard and the fact that I have to tell you that means you're either blind or stupid."
“I’m normal. Don’t over complicate.”
Yes. Precisely where we are.
Leftists also identify “Speaking as a …” and then their one of 57 genders, aggrieved racial group, etc That ends the conversation. Unless you are also one of their group or groups you can say nothing.
Things like history used to be based on facts. Now for schools it is all about your feelings. No wrong answers. All of the answers are based on the identity group.
Leftists replace the guilt of sin (all humans have this and know they fall short of the glory of God) with collective racial guilt. Whites must admit publicly at CRT training they are oppressors and evil. Eventually this leads to putting people and trains and firing up the ovens.
I thought I read that Microsoft stock has become more valuable than Apple stock.
Am I to believe that the most expensive corporation in the USA is run by such idiots?
As a Microsoft software user, I am having my time wasted needlessly.
Let the ridicule begin. With Gusto.
Could you share the title? Thanks.
