I liked RATM, but then they became political. No thank you.
They should have been Rage For The Machine!
Hey, now that sounds like a nice Christian band we can all do some toe tapping to!
toe tapping
Is that one of those weird sex things they do instead of intercourse.
Yes, through a hole in a sheet. At Cracker Barrel.
i honestly find all of these sex replacement things rather funny. it definitely shows some creativity
For real, “soaking” while the other “abstinent” couple jumps on the bed to bounce them around is a good one. Mormons and promise ring culture is so fucked though.
I liked Motörhead but they also became political like 4 songs into their first album
I liked Bruce Springsteen, but then even he became political!
I liked the dead Kennedys before they got all political too…
I think you can like Kid Rock, I don’t think he’s woke yet.
With a name like Lemmy, I would have never expected it.
At least they never went full Motörhead.ml
I’m not familiar. What happened?
You just repeated the same maga comment you can find in any thread anywhere ever. What are you guys smoking?
This isn’t reddit, you have to identify sarcasm all on your own, without the /s
It was a joke…
This is a post-joke society
Eh, it keeps me going. I think I’ll continue.
This is a post-pointing out what kind of society it is society.
I like this. Thanks.
You’re welcome 😁
I know that context is sometimes hard to discern in text, but good god that was an obvious one.
Yeah, why can’t they go back to their namesake, being a reference to the Matrix!
um, didn’t they break up a long time ago?
Is a joke. About people that are like ‘that’
Superman is woke because he just helps people and doesn’t charge a fee.
Sounds like socialism to me. Are you saying Superman is a Commie?
Probably nowhere near as bad as that hippy freak, what was his name… “Jesus”?
Jesus? That’s Sounds like an immigrant. Better deport him before he rapes someone or eats a cat .
I’ve heard it pronounced ‘hey-Zeus’ in some circles. You have to watch out for that guy. I hear he hangs out in the Home Depot parking lot with them illegals. Someone has to call ICE.
hey-Zeus
Shh, don’t say that too loud. You wanna get a lightning bolt in the arse?
At this point I’m more likely to get ICEd.
Haha what a hippy name. There is actually a good comic series where Superman crashes in Russia. Red Sun I believe?
Superman: Red Son (Video 2020)
Why do you think he wear red with a big S on the chest? It’s because the S mean Socialism
Of course! And the Nazis wore SS-uniforms which stand for Super Socialism.
I thought it was Super Sport (at least on Chevrolet vehicles haha).
PragerU:
write that down WRITE THAT DOWN
Red Son was just a confession!
Didn’t one of the old superman actors recently come out to complain that superman is woke. He literally played the character and didn’t get it.
In the same breath, he worries about the new Snow White being too woke too.
The one that checks notes costars Gal “Genocide Barbie” Gadot, a former Apartheid soldier who still looks back on her imperialist oppressor days fondly.
If there was ever a doubt that Dean Cain is a colossal idiot whose opinions should always be ignored as the ramblings of a willfully obtuse cockwomble, that should remove the last of it.
Star Wars: Fighting space Nazis
Superman: protecting people from Lex Luthor; evil billionaire
Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Marvel: “Evil is bad, how about let’s not genocide” (ignoring the billionaire worship w/ Iron Man)
X-Men: always been an allegory for LGBTQ+ and disabled folks
RATM: I mean, it’s in the name.
Starting to see a theme here hmm
I always thought X-Men was about civil rights…
Yeah it’s an allegory for racism and civil rights.

Idk if it’s in the comics too, but in first class or some movie, Magneto is depicted as a holocaust survivor. It’s in fact a big part of his identity.
It’s in the comics too.
Figured as much, just haven’t read them myself
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Also Rose, the first companion of the new series was constantly showing the viewers the working class’s perspective throughout all their adventures, and fighting for those people at every chance.
Then there are also characters like Dr. River Song and Madam Vastra, who are always shown as strong women who can fight their own.
Also the second companion, Martha, was a black medical student. One of the best companions too, up there with Amy and Clara if you ask me. Wish she’d gotten more than one season.
Agreed. Definitely wanted to see more of her.
She’s in quite a few episodes of Torchwood, I think maybe a main character in one of the final seasons even
New Who has always been woke AF I don’t know why they minimized it so much in the other comment. Like, yes the main doctor is almost always a white man, but the show itself has often (and even more so in recent episodes) had a clear “woke” agenda. And I’m not saying that in a negative sense. The showrunner for much of it was/is a gay “absolutely happily left wing” man ffs.
Edit: also, this thread talking about strong female leads jn Dr Who and not discussing Donna Noble is just wrong.
Babylon 5: Fighting Earth fascists. Hey, wait a damn minute…
Doctor Who: had a woman Doctor once
Don’t forget about the wokeness of the 15th and 16th Doctors.
Star wars is also heavily influenced by the Vietnam war. This influenced is alleged to be non deliberate.
Can’t find it now, but I remember seeing an interview where George Lucas said it was very deliberate.
It is hilariously appropriate that US Service Members often identify with The Empire and have on occasion flown Empire flags on bases
Alex Jones often imitates Darth Vader and Baron Harkonnen from Dune (as in putting himself in their roles) when he’s bragging about how he and his fellow fascists are “destroying the globalists” 🤦😄
Star Trek: Post scarcity society where all humans are treated as equals and nobody “gets” to be a billionaire (Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism)
Everyone’s a billionaire in Star Trek. But oddly enough, everyone is controlled by a huge naval organisation.
Nah, most of humanity at least is either living idyllic lives, or chose to live on a frontier world or research station or something. Starfleet’s just the exploratory arm of the Federation; but that’s where most of the fun stories are!
Next they’ll be complaining that Christianity’s gone ‘woke’.
Sorry, you’re too late. As usual, conservatives are already more awful than you expect.
https://newrepublic.com/post/174950/christianity-today-editor-evangelicals-call-jesus-liberal-weak
Moore told NPR in an interview released Tuesday that multiple pastors had told him they would quote the Sermon on the Mount, specifically the part that says to “turn the other cheek,” when preaching. Someone would come up after the service and ask, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”
“What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,’” Moore said. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”
If they think Christ is too weak and his words outdated, then maybe they should stop calling themselves Christians?
Satire is dead.
Imagine that you’re awake, with your eyes open, aware of the issues in the world, and wanting to be part of making it better, and…
…there’s a massive number of people who think you’re a shithead for believing that, and should probably be murdered for it. Just do what they tell you.
Woke has become one of my favourite words. It’s like when i was a kid, and everything was gay. Now it’s woke. He’s playing street fighters one woke controls. And same with the word gay, and how it was used, it was always funny when someone used it as an actual insult and you’re just like: oh yeah, i actually don’t care. Guess i’m woke then.
When I first started my current job a couple of years ago, there was a discussion going on in the office complaining about ‘woke’, albeit fairly mildly, which I wasn’t really participating in. My boss, who’s ex-army asked ‘Are you woke Almacca?’, to which I replied ‘I’m woke as fuck.’ She hasn’t brought it up again since. :)
The “anti-woke” men at my office once crowned me the “woke police” because I commented on one of their sexist/racist/homophobic/ whatever “jokes”. It’s my badge of honour. The weird part is that we kinda entered into some sort of cold war. I could comment on their “jokes”, pretending it was in jest as part of my job as “woke police”, while still getting the message across. I guess it kinda kept some semblance of friendliness and ability to cooperate while we still got our opinions out.
Fuck you, I won’t do whatcha tell me!
Oh No! Not Rage Against the Machine! How could they!
Wait, they’re not upset about their vacuum cleaner after all? Who knew?
Always assumed it was a printer
Well, all those nazis popping out everywhere are a problem, yes, but if you make some movement against printers, I can get behind it too.
I don’t think even Satan would wish printers on mankind.
Well yeah, they’re all woke now. They used to be woke before too, but they’re still woke now as well, as they should.
It wasn’t woke then, because woke wasn’t made up yet
Woken was first used in the 1930s to encourage black Americans and other minority groups to be aware of the prejudice and discrimination against them by white Americans.
It’s more like the term hadn’t become a catchall phrase for the right to dismiss all forms of injustice without having to engage with the actual issue.
It’s especially pathetic seeing European right wing politicians use the phrase. It’s always fun to challenge them to define it because they can’t.
Hollywood didn’t go “woke” you just grew up to be a piece of shit.
but is it really shit if it makes a stockholder a lot of money? /s
I’m shocked to learn that the band that wrote Wake Up might possibly be woke!
Man, why cant anything be FOR the systems of oppression that prop up my fragile masculinity?
Seriously! I started listening to Rage Against the Machine specifically because they had songs like “Thank you, I’ll always do what you tell me” and “Wake Up (to the genocidal leftist conspiracy)”. This whole 180 they’ve made has been devastating.
Except Starship Troopers, that movie is taken at face value. Would you like to know more?
Clancy Brown is fucking amazing.
MEDIC!
If those fuckers could read I wonder what they’d think of the book.
I’m doing my part!
Rage against the machine became woke? They were über woke before it was a thing.
That’s the joke I guess?
I think I heard a shot…
Conservatives are scared of literally everything.
It must be exhausting to be such pussies.
Equally exhausting to live in a world where those pussies make all the fucking rules.
They can’t grasp that these things have not changed, but they joined the bad guys so their perspectives changed. They can’t see the billionaires gilded puppet strings manipulating them.
Actually yes, they changed. Dr Who literally changed sex and race.
He has always changed personalities ever since the first regeneration in the 60s
But that isn’t what I said, now is it.
too many people nowadays are brainwashed by public media. we have to somehow get people off facebook
I just watched Alien (1979) and the damn democraps made it woke. When I was growing up in the 80’s not everything had to be a social commentary. The cops saved people like in Robocop (1987) and the terrorists were stopped like in Star Wars (1977) because America are the good guys. MAGA!!
