Peter Thiel talks about woke in 1996

 
 
 
yep well ahead of the mainstream pack in inventing paranoid delusions about social movements that don't exist, and assigning blame for ills to the people who point out the ills exist.

real prophet, that one.

We disagree on this.

respectfully i have to say, no we don't - "disagree" implies that there are two or more equally valid points of view on the subject and we differ in our perspectives as to which of those views is the correct one.

we've already had this back-and-forth a couple of times in previous threads so i won't just rehash a "yes way!" "no way!" argument, but at least speaking about the US (which this guy was at the time) i can definitely and with absolute certainty assert that the ideas espoused by you and the other "anti-PC" SJWs on this forum regarding whatever cultural cabal of woke hipsters you think are controlling the world simply doesn't exist.
not only are your fears (and constant new threads on the subject) all predicated on a fantasy, most of them are ironically reflections of the ideals you claim to espouse in other areas of life, which just further highlights how ridiculous this road show has become.

Ah, I see, we are at the denying reality stage. OK.

there is nothing in the world that i love more than being proved wrong, which affords me the opportunity to update my perception of the world with more accurate data.
so please, provide me with the faintest bit of rational objective evidence that some kind of heretofore unheard of social upheaval is occurring wherein good men and women of sound moral conscience are being trampled under the heels of an unruly mob out for blood... i would love to immediately change my opinion on the subject.

what i see in the world is the same thing that's been happening since literally history has been recorded: sometimes some people do shit that other people don't like, and sometimes the second group gets huffy about it.
if even a small part of the ideological left has grown even a couple of vertebrae worth of a spine and are actually putting their beliefs into action, that is the most meager and insignificant of actions within a broader world culture which ultimately couldn't give less of a shit about the issues either way.
noting that some asshat was a racist piece of shit wantonly and in public and then a company deciding to not hire that person is hardly the start of a new social uprising.
please show me how any of this nonsense you people keep blathering on about has any tangible consequence to society at large or the human race in general.
