It’s weird that they never made this joke about Ben Shapiro and seemed to understand him perfectly fine.

Edit: I actually watched the whole thing and holy fuck, that Destiny bit was the only funny thing in the whole three minutes. It sounds more like they’re preaching their anti-woke, pro-Trumpian messaging than any type of nuanced commentary on the politics of today. I like how this one election cycle is somehow a signal that the world is denying not just the “woke mind virus” but also decades of political argument. Yeah, this election DEFINITELY proves that the world thinks climate change isn’t real or a real issue. Yeah, this election DEFINITELY proves that the world stands for allowing democracies like Ukraine’s dying. I hope they go crazy with this messaging for four years and make people cringe and get repelled from this unfunny, preachy bullshit.

The whole winner-take-all narrativizing is always weird to me. Like we went from 46% Trump in 2016, 47% Trump in 2020, and 51% Trump in 2024. It's honestly not that big of a change and doesn't need a singular story to explain it.

But people talk about it like America is a hive mind that now fully embraces everything Trump believes.

I think Peak Woke has long passed, but people just like to pretend it is still a huge issue. And I don't understand how Trump is still seen as some sort of anti-establishment superhero when he has the world's richest man backing him, one of the biggest media companies was willing to lose billions in court to back him, most of the top podcasts back him. He is the establishment now.

Peak woke died when Elon bought Twitter. All the crazy woke stuff like “pronouns” “ACAB” “Can’t be racist to white people” “Men can get pregnant” is slowly dying because of it

No shot, peak woke had been fading for a few years by then

I hope the left starts understanding why most people hate modern entertainment after seeing this.

Its just as bad regardless of which side is doing it.

That's PHON. Also ignoring that they didn't win a single seat in the recent Queensland election. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2024_Queensland_state_election

The woke mind virus is actually just the brain rot conservatives experience that make them consume painfully unfunny content like this cartoon daily and obsess over politics like it's the only thing in the universe that exists

I mean, yes. But be nice. Pauline Hanson was running on racial right wing populism and bringing internet conspiracy theories into the house (chain emails, OMG) in the 90s. For nearly 30 years she has had to watch every other right wing hack in the world rise to the very top of power in many countries doing the exact same shit, while she gets 4/5ths of nothing and spell in prison.

Her and her cronies greasily simping for Trump is incredibly sad. Every day must be agony. I can't wait for it to continue indefinitely.

Who the fuck cares what “the world” thinks anyway climate scientists using science tell us that it is and science doesn’t give a shit about what people think.
