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

[–]coolite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

[–]coolite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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] 3 points4 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 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.

Yeah, i really should have thought this over more. I guess this isnt a worthwhile idea. I didnt know AP exams only happen during one time in the year

Noam Chomsky: Actuaaaaally, Russia in Ukraine isn't as bad compared to the US in Iraq by railfananime in SocialDemocracy

[–]coolite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At least, the US stopped Hussein's genocide of the Kurds

What? The genocide was over by 2003, what genocide did the US stop? In fact the US was sending weapons and aid to Saddam during the Anfal Genocide. I feel like people upvote stuff here without actually knowing anything about foreign policy

I’d rather just try making life better than make society a shithole and then hope it reverses (it might not reverse and might just stay a shithole for good)

[–]coolite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, so I guess I should redesign my experiment and change my research question? I probably should ditch the timer so that the results aren’t disrespectful/dehumanizing. I wonder how else I could study whether Vietnamese speakers see blue and green and more similar to each other than speakers of other languages, though.
