    Most of us don't care and just go on with our lives as it doesn't affect us.

    Why should I care who bud light sponsors? Does it change the way it tastes? Oh it affects the values it represents therefore I shouldn't drink it - that's wokism. I eat at Chik Fil A because I like it, not whom they give money to. Why can't that same standard be applied to Bud Light?

    Why do people care if Disney defends gays? Or if Domino's is pro-choice? Or that fat people don't like being called fat? Why do you care so much? Why care so much about things that have 0 impact on your life?

    Do you not realize that is victimhood? That all this complaining about who people are not behaving like you want them to is upsetting is the very victimhood you are supposedly trying to call out?

    I along with many people including some prominent left wingers are absolutely against woke because it's anti sense - I believe in a harmonious, loving world, where we emphasize things that make sense, and then this world can be a better place - peace and love ...

    let's be honest, the more things that people do that are nonsensical - the more that we endanger innocent or naive persons - face it obesity kills people. It's not about saying, fat people don't like to be called "fat" it's the situation where woke nonsense tries to change the narrative that obesity doesn't exist when it certainly does, and it certainly a health risk with huge implications.

    Gluing your hands is not OK to a floor. We need to send that message that "mostly" peaceful protests does not have to include desecrating or damaging your body....

    There is a nonsensical bail problem in New York - What’s interesting is many of the victims are indeed minorities such as Asians and blacks- so who is really paying the price with pro criminal friendly DAs ?

    So you are saying that in a peaceful, loving, harmonious world, people calling obese people "FAT" and shaming them is good for them, because that will help them realize they are fat (because they have no idea!!!!) and will get them to lose weight all of a sudden as nothing before that did? Yeah, that's anti-sense buddy.

    No one is stopping you from calling a fat person fat. You can be an a-hole all you want and do it. It makes no sense to me why you see that as helping them. If they commit a crime, they will serve the time. But why do you give an F? You want a peaceful world, let people do want they want. It's a free country - supposedly.

    Brah watch the video - the woke nutcase is saying obesity doesn't exist - this is akin to you saying antifa is just an idea - please stop your woke nonsense! Wake up !

    you claim to not be a ardent champion woke defender but here you are extrapolating nonsense

    Look man, you can dive into these videos and see it different ways - you can laugh at these people trying to run from their problems or you can have compassion for them and see their point of view. You can do both, and you can do neither. None of these are mutually exclusive.

    But at the end of the day, if you really just want peace and love, why do you care what someone says in a youtube video? There are studies done around this topic and how to get people to be healthier, including what's the right verbage to use to not make them defensive. A lot of research has gone into this - from figuring out how to market all the weight loss products to how to help doctors succeed. Point is, we don't need to figure this out or be the experts. Let the research decide how to best help these folks. And maybe your time is worth more than getting worked up about some random woman's opinion?

    @Ottomaton- I liked your video on wokes being good soldiers ,.. I appreciate progress when it’s based on sensical overtures but when I see this, I can’t help but think we fallen off a cliff somewhere …at some point it stops making sense …seriously at some point we have to question the nonsense of asking a black person if he identifies as black…At some point we have to question the validity or sanity of grown adults identifying as babies or wolves

    You're just grouping everything into one bucket. Woke means against racism. It has nothing to do with all this other stuff you are posting. That's how the right is redefining woke.

    Now you define woke as everything bad to you. And say you hate liberals who are woke because of all these videos you did up. You've created a strawman for yourself to attack. What does grown adults acting like wolves have to do with any liberal cause even?????
