      For real. Diversity could easily be considered antithetical to racism. Inclusion could be considered antithetical to sexism. But no, Chef Elon made pseudo-intellectual word salad.

      But, “Worlds grossly richest man not big on equity” feels like an Onion article title.

        Also, “woke” more or less means “enlightened,” so “anti-woke” is pretty much “ignorance is strength.”

          I feel like wokeness in general requires empathy and understanding of the plight of others. Anti-woke means being unempathetic, and folks feel that is positive? I literally can’t comprehend being for Team Sociopath, but millions of people will vote for Trump, so it’s real.

      honestly what I hate the most about those quotes is that every one of those slogans actually have a quite clear meaning , especially within the context of the book .

        I find myself saying “We are the dead” quite a lot when something reality bending occurs (you know, like Elon opening his pie hole), because that’s how it feels.
