This fuckin’ bowtie clown is who I’m going to picture whenever I hear people complaining about “wokeism” from now on.
Take it from a Brit, if reading your national history gives you the feelgoods, you’re not reading history.
TheOneTrueZippy8
That, my friends, is what we refer to as A Look.

Here we are centuries later, letting the opinions of dead slavers decide who gets to be human and who gets to be a handmaiden.

Bowtie Clown turns out to be a professional racist creep. https://twitter.com/mramblr/status/1546583081309507584

Conservatism is a defect, and its adherents are useless creatures and a hindrance to the betterment of us all. ?
Voojagig
So this guy says it's a disease to think slavery is wrong. What a piece of shit.
backrideup9
Can he really be taken seriously, knowing that he purposefully dressed himself like that?
mistermixelpix
Oh no, he knows it's wrong, that's why he wants to completely hide the reality of it from view.
SpartaWolf117
Don't look at history with rose tinted glasses. you'll miss all the red flags we should avoid repeating in the future
aface62
Make this a meme.
CorwinMacGregor
that's.... an amazing way to put it, thank you.

You wanna know what's really fucked up? Jefferson considered himself anti-slavery.
IAmGodot
Guy is pro-slavery so of course he's upset it was "woke" https://twitter.com/KatzOnEarth/status/1546580904927236099

Can't spell it, can't experience it, can't understand it.

Nor come close to understanding any of those multi syllable words. As a fully functional adult, I say we put them in greycare. 1/?
narderthanthou
Fuck it. What's the point? Money begets immunity. I meant opportunity. Oh nevermind. We're all fucked! I'm Leaving Los Vegas!
ChickenROAR
So, some dude visits Thomas Jefferson 's Monticello, gets offended, and proceeds to bitch and moan. That's news for Fox network?!I
ontarioOT
Go check out their website if you think that's bad.
imaclubbingseal
I’ve yet to hear a person explain why they hate ‘woke’ without sounding like a complete prick.
arumunus
He was 30. Hemmings was 14. She was only slightly older than his own daughter.
maythegorknmorkbewithyou
Also she was his late wife's half sister for extra creep points
Predicto
Jeffrey Tucker, "the Chief Liberty Officer and founder of Liberty.me" and consultant to right wing groups like Heartland Institute. No, he's
Predicto
just a "recent visitor to Monticello" lol.

He said “debunking” which means he knows EXACTLY who TJ was
zxwaffen
Nah, Jefferson wrote that slavery was evil. Guy just wanted to go see a slave plantation and jerk off to it.

God help us. :/

"Take it from a Brit, if reading your national history gives you the feelgoods, you’re not reading history." <- Stealing this.

Related, b/c the venn diagram overlap between nazis and people who disparagingly use 'woke' is fairly large:

How about “Willfully Blind”

Ohohoh, I got a new one……………………Good Obedient Puppet
Voojagig
I think "Willfully stupid" covers it more accurately.
ooofest
Fragile white ninnies. The right wing is all about fear and projection of their faults.
Says this white, middle-aged cis male.
Filanwizard
The right wing wants 1950s Hollywood American history.
kevbot5000
That's offensive to 1950s Hollywood American history.
CivilRationality
It's almost like American history in school is meant to blind u with nationalistic pride rather than develop critical thinking.

TheMightyMoto
They don't like true history.
MuffinProof
TheOvy
This has been normal at Monticello for decades. It's only being called "woke" now because racists feel more comfortable criticizing it.
NibblonianNibbler
So to them slavery is "critical race theory" and also "woke"?
DVSBSTrD
You seriously think people who believe in "trickle down economics" occupy ANY level of reality?
reverendbonobo
No, they're fine with slavery. They just don't like people saying it's bad.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
That's been the play all along, yes. Anything that at all acknowledges that America isn't perfect is heresy
thatiscomedygoldrightthere
Nationalist Idolatry.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Foundational to all fascist movements.
Tumescentpie
The mythic pass is a pillar of fascism
splincoln
Not just by quantity, even judged by the standards of other slavers, Jefferson was uniquely cruel and vicious.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
I went to Colonial Williamsburg just last month. They were starting to talk about slavery for what it really was. It was good.
chickensnatchatori
I feel like bowties on grown men are a pretty reliable indicator that the person you’re talking to is a fucking ass clown

I think it depends on the entirety of the rest of said grown man. This guy looks like a 12-year-old cartoon villian

Ok…. Good point
Hutchy01
Thomas Jefferson was a shit but somehow Maximilien Robespierre, the first man to abolish slavery is the main villain of Western politics.
dirtyscalychickentoes
Robespierre wasn't good for business. Kind of pre-commie, in fact. We musn't praise THAT. Next you'll be praising L'Ouverture or Allende!
kevbot5000
...We're not supposed to praise L'Ouverture or Allende?
dirtyscalychickentoes
Sorry it was /s
Hutchy01
Who could praise Toussaint L'Ouverture when Pétion and Boyer are right there?
