Being “Woke” is what happens when instead of taking one blue pill, you down the entire bottle.

Means you’re a (mostly) white guy run company that pretends it gives a sh.t about a bunch of different and absurd issues, while still paying top white male executives a fortune.

Paypal... is now reportedly partnering with the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center to determine which accounts should be banished from the platform. Coming from what should be an impartial transaction platform, given Paypal’s size and market share it’s a move that could deny a vital role in commerce to individuals and groups based on political views alone.

The commie Southern Poverty Law Center??

Woke = One who cares so much for Social Justice that they fight to keep and encourage illegals in the US so that they themselves can have the very people they helped service their lawns and nanny their children at an incredible discount.

Otherwise known as exploitative hypocrites

It is the verb that refers to the critturs known as Wokies.

A “woke” executive realizes his position is less threatened by people who have been promoted to achieve social justice than those promoted by merit.

Corporations are patronized by people with trillions of government money.

So you better tow the government line if you want in on the feeding trough.

Enjoyed an eye opening Candace Owens Show with Carl Benjamin.

The discussion of how political correctness fits the Mussolini model of ethical governance vs traditional liberalism.

Also specifically discussed how companies work within the fascist/political correct framework under the model.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbGzMDVwbyY

Starting to deep dive into the Mussolini model of fascism. First piece : http://www.historyguide.org/europe/duce.html

Too early in the morning to read this though.

Recommend everyone watch Owens/Benjamin discussion

Owens is fearless, I love her.

I wish she would replace Laura Ingraham on Fox.

Might have interesting show for a change.

Woke referred to folks who realized Democrats were screwing them. Now the left stole the term to refer to group thinkers who believe their lies.

I could care less what the CEOs of those companies make.

Now the chicken processor that just had 680 illegal aliens snatched by ICE is worth $3 billion. That I have a problem with. He can obviously afford to hire Americans so he should be fined $10,000.00 per illegal imho.

CEO pay for “non-profits” bothers me a bit because most non-profits are really leftist activism. Seems like for every 1 legit non-profit, there’s 100 non-profits that benefit the left and they act as one big network with layers to hide the money flows.

Then we have the big churches, “NOGs”, that are non-profit getting millions of tax payer dollars to bring “refugees” into the country.
