      It’s annoying that these big, evil corporations that woke people hate are considered “woke” by conservatives.

        I find it hilarious that Google is getting hate from both sides. It’s not like they don’t deserve it, DEI aside.

      It’s simply amazing to consider YouTube an enemy when YouTube is basically the soul reason right wing propaganda has spread to the level that it has today. YouTube is the breeding ground for the alt right. Their complaint is literally the opposite of reality, and as I type that I realize I’ve typed that a lot before haven’t I? Same old shit I guess.

        But what other company can I rely on to give me a megaphone to tell people how much I’m being silenced?

        I think more that they mean that alphabet has a massive dei programs. Special teams for minorities, required reporting on dei compliance for orgs, and official recognition of minority holidays etc for their employee base.

        To awaken the spirit of a nation, to feel the will of God, Family and Country. That’s pretty woke, though not exactly uhh good

      I know I should be angry, but honestly the copywriting on this is cracking my shit up. “So woke they never sleep” these bigots are comedy gold.

      This is absolutely true, but not in the sense this is trying to portray. They censor me hard, and I’m not even that political, just anti-spyware. They censor anything they don’t like, so if you slight them for being a mass-data collection organization that shit all over their own old slogan, they put you on their shit list actively keeping you from being able to speak. Really, Google isn’t “woke” more so just a bunch of pandering opportunist capitalist predators in sheep’s wool. The word “woke” itself has devolved.
