Apparently, Google is the queen of woke.

It's annoying that these big, evil corporations that woke people hate are considered "woke" by conservatives.

It's annoying

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

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.

But what other company can I rely on to give me a megaphone to tell people how much I'm being silenced?

[-] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I think more that they mean that alphabet has a massive dei programs. Special teams for minorities, required reporting on dei compliance for orgs, and official recognition of minority holidays etc for their employee base.

Fellas, is it woke for YouTube to funnel viewers towards pro-fascist videos?

[-] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

To awaken the spirit of a nation, to feel the will of God, Family and Country. That's pretty woke, though not exactly uhh good

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

DEI is woke. I guess I should've realized this sooner.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

Treating everyone with basic human decency = "woke"

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.

I know I should be angry, but honestly the copywriting on this is cracking my shit up. "So woke they never sleep" these bigots are comedy gold.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
