Whats the most goofy woke shit you've encountered irl?
I think of one protest in particular, it was about a local police involved shooting. Basically they mag dumped a black 20 something year old and the entire city thought it was horseshit. Dude had his back turned.
I was with a friend- lets call him comrade Bill. Bill is a socially awkward guy. Basically, he asked a trans girl in a local lefty group on a date prior to the protest.
She declined and he thought nothing of it. This chick went to the group though and made a big deal of it. He was mad because he thought they were friends, and he felt betrayed. Instead of telling him, like a normal person, "that made me uncomfortable", she went behind is back and made him out to be a monster. Asking someone to go on a date is a crime I guess.
His response to her was "I hope that whatever gender you're transitioning into comes with a spine." Which is fucking hilarious. They spun this into "comrade Bill is transphobic" rather than "comrade Bill and comrade Linda didnt get along, it wasnt that big of a deal" They turned an interpersonal beef into something sinister.
Anyway, Im standing next to comrade Bill shooting the shit. We're talking about how a bunch of mall-ninja black panther wannabes with shot guns and ARs showed up. They look hilarious, but Im a pro 2nd amendment dude so Im kind of there for it. Out of no where this tiny blond woman dressed in black-bloc comes up and starts taking pictures of Bill. She turns to me, screams in my face and says HES A THREAT TO TRANS WOMEN. HE CANT BE HERE. Im just like, "okay lady" and shrug my shoulders. We laugh about it. The day goes on. The march around the block begins.
A dude in a megaphone starts saying "allies to the outside." They then order all the white people to the outside of the march with the black people in the center. Mr. Megaphone man says we need to use our white privilege to shield the POC or whatever. Because cops will totally be like "wait, hold your fire! THEY'RE WHITE."
Anyways, thats probably the zaniest bullshit I've encountered.
