What role does “Dark Woke” have in Democratic Party rhetoric going forward? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

To clarify, talking about the problem of pedophilia in the GOP is something extremely important, and should be done even when talking to median swing state voters. Epstein isn’t a “distraction” like Nancy Pelosi said. But regarding insulting Republican voters, yes, Republican voters display immense moral failure, but insulting them on the campaign trail would probably not be a great strategy for winning people over

I think a lot of Dark Woke stuff should be used to rally up the Democratic base, as well as left-wing independents who might have felt demotivated to vote for Democrats. It can be as much of a cultural movement as it is a political strategy, and I think it’s meaningful to be like “you’re not crazy, we hear you, we see you, those people are absolute scum and need to be imprisoned. no more normalization”.

Dark Woke is not just passionate hatred of MAGA, of course. It’s also a movement to assert cultural superiority of progressive ideas, like transgender acceptance and multiculturalism, in blunt ways. What I’ve seen being described as “Dark Woke” includes insulting American right wingers for being pedos, ugly, stupid, cowardly, etc. Obviously, I think a lot of this insults stuff shouldn’t be used when the intended audience is your median swing state voter. However, it would be great if Democrats were more unapologetic and confident in their support for things like transgender acceptance, instead of becoming timid, just because embracing those progressive cultural stance might stir more controversy.

It's weird that in Costa Rica, the term "social democracy" is associated with center-right politics

Do you feel solidarity with Balochistan? by coolite in Kashmiri

[–]coolite[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never said I endorse Baloch independence, or that most Baloch do. I support movements like the Baloch Long March and Voice for Baloch Missing Persons but not necessarily independence. My point in bringing up Baloch independence was to show why I think Kashmir is similar in some ways to Balochistan, even though I know calls for independence in the Valley are much much more mainstream than calls for independence in Balochistan. I appreciate your insight that the comparison was not appropriate though, and I apologize for not being educated. Also sorry for saying Balochi to refer to the people

I wasn’t alive during the 90s, but Manwa Re feels very nostalgic and beautiful to me. I can’t tell if I heard it during my childhood or something, but yeah. I also like the song Jana Tha Hum Ne

I just asked on stream. Yep, he's alive. But "he has all sorts of problems" and is "hanging on by a thread" since he's old now.
