...I'm not fond of the assertion that anyone that's so easily fooled deserves to be taken for a ride like this. On the other hand, "anti-woke" is the absolute dumbest brainrot to actually cause real-world harm, so I feel absolutely no guilt in advocating for abusing whatever flaw in the ignorance can be exploited to try to break it up.
Your cousin is a maga dork. You should not feel bad about it at all. You didnt go far enough. Once you found out his weokness, you should have played that card some more.
Dont apologise him. Apologies are so woke. It means you have a lot of feelings.... nah. If you love him, tell him you are sorry you hurt his feelings. Then ask if he heard about Lone Star Beer's new woke status?? You guys should dump it all in the Gulf of America.
This may be real. In fact, it probably is real. However, i refuse to believe or accept it is. Because I have been having a really nice day and I refuse to believe someone is that fucking stupid*
*I know that many people are. I just.... I had a good day. Let me have this.
I have yet to find a situation in which the person obsessing over hating "woke shit" has *not* been the asshole. Maybe it can happen in laboratory conditions, but real-world, seems like a useful rule of thumb.
There are many situations in which the person obsessing over 'woke' is not The asshole. In all of those situations, however, that person is still An asshole.
No. They were Navy beans but then they got injured in desert storm and spend lots of time at the hospital plotting against the far right. They're AntiFaVA beans.
I mean, it *is" true that chili did not originally have beans in it. It was a meat stew. There are plenty of folks to this day who refuse to even acknowledge a dish as chili if it has beans.
And beans are one of the "three sisters" crops grown by many of the native peoples of the Americas, and giving them any kind of credit is woke, so... BEANS IN CHILI IS WOKE.
I wouldnt say hypocrites,jerky was used in stews if no fresh meat was available,but if a cow was injured theyd kill it and harvest it for the chuck wagon.So not really a required ingredient for chili so much as it worked when they didnt have fresh meat.Original chili was beef,lard,crushed chilis and salt pounded together and formed into bricks,then put into boiling water with flour or cornmeal when time to eat.
I don't think u/WokeBeans is the asshole here, no... The asshole is the one who worries about perceived virtue more than whether the food is good or not. Like what the fuck. It's just a recipe, calm the fuck down. Who cares if hippies liked to eat beans or if scientists say beans are a better protein than meat... WHO CARES? Why does it even matter?
Too bad he questioned his chilli but not his reflexive hatred of the idea for empathy (which is all being "woke" really is - being aware of other people's struggles)
Honestly, I wish the 'perceived virtue' anti-woke people would start treating everything they interact with like that. If someone they think is/was woke, they shouldn't interact with anything produced through their labors.
...mostly because it would completely destroy the anti-woke movement when they discover that not only does the modern USA exist because of 'woke' behaviors, but that without 'woke' individuals like Alan Turing (gay, significant contributor to breaking the German war effort)1/
or Henry Ford (Pro-fascism, but also created the 40 hour work week and early employee protections) or Elijah McCoy (Black man who revolutionized rail travel/transport with peanut oil based lubrication) or any of the other THOUSANDS of 'Woke' individuals whose creations brought us the modern world, who the anti-woke administrators are trying to write out of history.2/2
The most unbelievable part of this story is dude researching if beans are woke or not after being told it was a lie. I would be more inclined to believe it if they began declaring how smart they are because they watch fox news before reminding me of Dunning-Kruger.
There are legitimately people online who just compile lists of "woke" things for the dipshit community to be angry at and avoid. I wouldn't be that surprised if cousin here has a few of those bookmarked to let him know what he's supposed to be outraged about this week.
It's all fucking dumb as shit but they've been conditioned to hate and fear anything that is woke, and now the talking heads can just label whatever they want as woke and the cultists will immediately hate and fear it. I dream of a world where human beings think for themselves instead of being manipulated so easily, but we are a long way from that...
The essential irony of the conservative. Lionize a religion they share nothing in common with, preach from a book they've never read, decry the concept of science (as if it were a solid thing and not just a name for the process of scientific inquiry) while saying they do "research", prize independence while being in unified lockstep is basically the one major logistical advantage they hold as a political operation, etc.
Ignorance and hypocrisy is basically the mission statement.

PEPPERS is spelled kinda like PEEPEE which is a word for a dick so he's basically putting penises in his chili and that's pretty gay

Right, not that there's anything WRONG with that.
