I'm convinced the term was hijacked to deflect from the true struggle. like the occupy movement, or how baseless conspiracy theories derail actual cover-ups.
That’s exactly what happened. There’s a reason a lot of conservatives now call anything they don’t like woke. They were trained to do so to help delegitimize the word.
This is a common occurrence and is entirely intentional.
There was a right wing guy who was 100% responsible for a lot of this stuff. His name is completely lost to time, but effectively he directed all of right wing media strategy.
Co-opting words, flooding the airwaves with misinformation. It was all him.
And it wasn’t some talking head. He was a behind the scenes strategist guy, that’s why no one remembers him. I can’t even figure out how to google him.
There was another. Newt was the original, but there was some other guy. He was young, fat.
And I’m pretty sure he just did it for the love of the game, I don’t think he much cared about the politics, it was all about just controlling people for the sake of doing it
It gets to that point where you just have to stop giving a crap what people think and buy things that you want. Why does it matter if someone else is not excited for a game that you are?
