    I was curious if they actually bothered to define what “woke” is. Obviously they don’t, you can’t define the boogey man.

    I did find their “how do we rate things” page and the first criteria is: “do they donate to social justice causes.”

    How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?

      It’s annoying that these big, evil corporations that woke people hate are considered “woke” by conservatives.

        I find it hilarious that Google is getting hate from both sides. It’s not like they don’t deserve it, DEI aside.

      This is absolutely true, but not in the sense this is trying to portray. They censor me hard, and I’m not even that political, just anti-spyware. They censor anything they don’t like, so if you slight them for being a mass-data collection organization that shit all over their own old slogan, they put you on their shit list actively keeping you from being able to speak. Really, Google isn’t “woke” more so just a bunch of pandering opportunist capitalist predators in sheep’s wool. The word “woke” itself has devolved.

      It’s simply amazing to consider YouTube an enemy when YouTube is basically the soul reason right wing propaganda has spread to the level that it has today. YouTube is the breeding ground for the alt right. Their complaint is literally the opposite of reality, and as I type that I realize I’ve typed that a lot before haven’t I? Same old shit I guess.
