Same, I'm from Montréal and the Reddit community for Montreal/Quebec is horrible. Sorry but they are full of leftist woke students and downvote or ban anyone who dare say that e.g. healthcare system is bad or education is bad or any truth about QC. I've been on Reddit for 13 or 14 years and about never posted or read those subs.
You can tell a lot from a person who unironically uses woke as a term.
It was ironic, but it looks like it works to trigger people here
It wasn’t ironic mate.
What is woke?
“Woke” has become a derisive term used by conservatives to describe anyone/anything socially conscious. It’s often part of a rant (or general line of thinking) involving “what’s wrong with this country/the younger generation”. For example, if you’re against things like racism, sexism, or homophobia, I’d call you a decent human being, but a conservative would likely call you “woke”.
This is the kind of “insult” that says more about the person using it than it does about you.
Show me where woke touched you in the feelings on the doll.
Uh... No one is saying the healthcare or education systems are good. Everyone is pretty much on the same track about how much they suck.
And so far, I've found Lemmy to be further more to the left than on Reddit.
Reddit's CEO is a literal neo-nazi. You would have to actively try to be more far right than them.
I know he ain't the most ethical person, but a literal neo Nazi? That's a bit extreme no?
I might not be aware of some of the things he's done or said though... I haven't been following everything he does.
You only have to do the bare minimum of research to see that guy's ties to the extreme right.
Are the "wokes" in the room right now?
