This being my first experience of going (moderately) viral, I'm pleasantly surprised that the majority of responses have been not-unpleasant. Also I learned that you can add Alt-text after-the-fact, which is nice. Also, check out my SoundCloud -

@scubbo@fosstodon.org #AltText4You Screenshot of a tweet by Mike Godwin (@sfmnemonic) on Mar 17, 2022: Drawing Bayesian inferences after extensive sampling, I've determined that it's 99% certain that anyone who uses "woke" as a pejorative will turn out to be a fuckhead. Please don't blame me for pointing this out - it's just science.

@scubbo@fosstodon.org Only if they are whites. Black people coined the term (yet another stolen term stolen by whites) and use them rightly, properly and just.

@scubbo@fosstodon.org I have never understood how ‘woke’ is an insult. Don’t we all aspire to being awake, rather than sleepwalking through life?

@scubbo@fosstodon.org I don't know. It seems like 12% of them are asshole politicians. That's not scientific though.

@scubbo@fosstodon.org I don't use the term "woke" as the alt right uses it frequently to frame all democratic and anti-descriminatory policy and discussion as illegitimate. However I do see leftists, especially western middle-class/prof managorial class/bourgeois leftists, place an excessive amount of attention on politics of recognition for groups defined by identitarian categories, while ignoring that intersectionalism/black socialism always had a class analysis in the center that combined all the struggles

@unabogie@urbanists.social 2023-12-28 17:36
@scubbo@fosstodon.org and the corollary is that this probability jumps to 100% if someone uses "wokeism" in any non-ironical context.
