Hey, is Ajax the same as the Ajax that Cupcake told me of? Like Token levels of BS on the same as that literal Uncle Tom that was Mike Steel oof the early 00s GOP?
If a Giant's pronouns are "fee, fi, fi, and fum", does that mean short people's pronouns are "oompa, loompa, and doopity-doo"?

Autocorrect at work - the article had X A N A X without spaces, which came out as Xanax. (Try typing it yourself)

Yeah, not touching that. If you ever knew a Benzo user you understand why.

God you're dumb. Everything is a catch phrase or boogeyman. No, the short term goal for the "woke" amounts to nothing more than equality for all, inclusion for all, and social justice. But racist pricks hate that so they encapsulate it all under the umbrella of "wokeism" and then turn it into a boogeyman so anyone trying to seek equality, inclusion and justice is immediately stigmatized. Democratic socialism is a long term goal that has little to do with wokeism.
Exactly! Great way of putting it! They know that it makes them look bad to openly criticize opposition to bigotry and intolerance, so they encapsulate such opposition, as you said, under the nebulous term "wokeism" which they think they can criticize without making obvious their own hateful bigotry and intolerance.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I once thought as a boy that Sic semper tryrannis meant mountaineers are always free. I wasn't as far off as I thought. You'll never be free until you get rid of the tyrant.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

:lol: :roll: That's laughably ironic coming from someone who unabashedly supports Donald J. Trump who has openly expressed admiration for tyrants like Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, and who clearly aspires to become a tyrant like them himself!

Dominion Voting has asked for a summary verdict on the strength of the evidence presented through the Fox emails. Evidence is overwhelming that Fox knew Trump's charges were rubbish but broadcast the lies anyway to boost their ratings.

Even stranger because Ajax is arguing for the benefit of ignoring the results of a democratic election in order to retain a tyrant.

What I think is even more ironic is that the people who call themselves "liberals," continue to seek to intimidate, cancel, ban from the public square, silence, prosecute and incarcerate their political opponents. But oh yes, they believe in free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of political opinion etc. just so long as said speech advances their narrative and world view. Couple that with their communist ambitions from their dear leader Bernie Sanders and the irony deepens. LIberals are as far away from liberty as their business partners in the CCP,

Do you deny that Trump has publicly expressed admiration for the Tyrants I listed in my last post, or even that those listed are, in fact, tyrants? Do you deny that Trump deliberately incited a riot to overturn an election that he falsely claimed was stolen from him, despite 60 odd court cases that ruled against him, or that he plotted to overturn a legally run election? Do deny that he tried to bully elected (Republican, no less) Georgian officials into finding or inventing votes to overturn a lawfully determined election? If a Democrat president or other politician had done or tried to do that or many of the other corrupt and shady things Trump has been caught doing, I would be every bit as critical of them as I am of Trump, and just as eager to see them prosecuted and incarcerated!

And I don't deny anyone the right to free speech, freedom of religion or freedom of political opinion. That is nothing but projection on your part! But I see nothing wrong with boldly pointing it out when I'm convinced someone is clearly mistaken or lying or racist!
