What the actual fuck!?
Woke, when boiled down to its very basic premise is: giving a shit about other people in society.
They’re against that so much so that they make websites like this to avoid giving money to corporations that pretend to value other people’s existence?
God I hate propagandists so fucking much…
The point is that it’s all pretense anyway. At least for me. Capital has no soul, it’s a constantly mutating cancer that feeds on itself. So the rainbow flags seem a little disingenuous.
Pretty sure the people actually using it in a derogatory manner don’t care about common usage or meaning and use it as a placeholder for the n* word when talking in public. Urban, woke, DEI, East coast elite, etc is all just bigotry and racism.
Wokka please.
Don’t forget they’re usually also agains cancel culture, which makes this even better.
My coworker wears a “cancel cancel culture” shirt… Ughh…
That’s actually how I feel like many are arguing. I don’t like it, because it’s woke. And it’s woke, because I don’t like it
Truck drivin’, bible-thumpin’, gun totin’ knuckledragger in Texas:
“I ain’t gonna buy Lockeed Martin products, I’m gonna boycott them! Make 'murica grate agin!”
Proceeds to angrily keep on NOT buying surface-to-air missiles.No they would say that shit and but Chinese made shit with camo American flags.
Damn he was so close on buying that package of 12 F-22 Raptors too
as a truck driving, gun toting redneck in texas I’d absolutely buy a SAM if I could, and paint it up in rainbows
Can you imagine, I wouldn’t even want to fire them, just have them decorate my front lawn.
the chucklefucks whining about “woke” can’t even define what the term means, let along know a single goddamn thing about lockheed martin
Woke is when rainbow flags, according to these guys lmao
I’d much rather have woke IADS than sleepy IADS tbh
I wonder if the Rights theory of “go woke, go broke” will stand up to Lockheed Martins profit margin during two wars…
Fun Fact: Novelist John Ringo is usually given credit for inventing that slogan.
John Ringo currently has trouble getting his novels published under his own name because he started going mask off and now has to post his racist shit to Substack.
…
(Okay I’d still buy an actual end to the Aldenata and Looking Glass series, but still)
Is there a military scifi writer that is not an altright shit bag?
David Weber is a conservative and a monarchist, but not alt right. Kind of gives Tolkien vibes sometimes, honestly, in that you’re pretty sure he supports the Divine Right of Kings but wouldn’t be okay with war crimes. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t like gay people but he doesn’t go out of his way to beef with them either.
John Scalzi doesn’t have any damage I know of.
Dennis E Taylor literally has some characters talking about “both sides” in a recent entry with a plot about shape shifting lizard people controlling the government, but the Bobiverse made me think more classical liberal than ancap wingnut. Bobiverse is great regardless.
There are others. I think. Helldivers by Nicholas Sansbury Smith seemed fine but I wasn’t interested in reading past the first one.
Edit: Craig Alanson! My current favorite, ExForce is great. Mileage may vary later in the series, Skippy can get a little annoying/abusive.
I read a few of his books and really disliked his elementary Economics understanding. He really lays it on thick towards a Libertarian utopia of selfishness.
Yeah, he’s not subtle in his politics, but he only started getting in trouble when the white supremacy angle started to become undeniable.
It’s one thing to have the Rayndian Ubermensch solve everything with capitalism and bootstraps while that dang guvment tries to get in the way, it’s another to spend a whole book mansplaining that Latino culture will never amount to anything while it’s “obsessed with machismo” while being a sexist prick with a clear rape fetish.
Looks like Taco Bell is woke free
I was curious if they actually bothered to define what “woke” is. Obviously they don’t, you can’t define the boogey man.
I did find their “how do we rate things” page and the first criteria is: “do they donate to social justice causes.”
How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?
How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?
By first declaring “Social Justice Warriors” to be the enemy and bashing against them at every step for a decade.
I have a lot of trouble seeing how SJW could be an insult, let alone woke
Not woke? Still sleepwalking hey?
(They say “conservative” for “against social justice”; ie “conservative” for “anti-government radical”)
Those go hard
I could definitely see myself committing war crimes in those
I’m as cis-het as they come, and I’d rock those in a hot minute.
omg i want em now :3
Call it whatever you want, but all I see is a weirdly unexpected avenue for potential solidarity against a major arms manufacturer. Hell, I’ll call it woke if it helps turn Americans against the fuckers building bombs.
They’re not upset about them building bombs that kill Palestinian children, they’re upset that they also hire black people.
According to them Boeing and Raytheon are also woke.
Woke is when people fall out of your aircraft and then you kill your own employees
All government contractors have to be “woke” to get the contracts. I am surprised the alt right isn’t blaming the government for ruining defense contractors with mandatory DEI (I jest, they definitely are).
I’ll never buy a Lockheed Martin product again.
As a joke I was looking for general everyday items they might’ve sold but now I feel like I’m on a new list.
I did find cool Hawaiian satellite shits that I kinda want now
No lie, I want that shirt
Hoellee shit. I need that
They launched that whole fucken fashion line as a pr stunt, it pains me that they’re actually pretty snazzy clothes
I had to throw away my brand new F-35 Lightning II. I hate SJWs so much for this!!!
They don’t even have ratings for Nestlé or Coca-Cola. What the fuck is this
Nestle isn’t woke. It’s evil. That’s why it’s not listed.

I’m looking at their page for General Mills and I’m like “which part of this is so disagreeable that you’d boycott them?” 😂
Looked at the main homepage… the “not woke” companies seem to be mostly “natural health/holistic” bullshit like you’d hear Alex Jones scream about.
The seem pretty run of the mill to me.
Run of of the… general mill? 👀
