Nothing obscure but concrete. People who dog whistle and now virtue signal about possessing a higher intellectual, moral and ethical superiority with academic rigor. AoC is one example of a woke politicians. Our very own Aakar Patel, people who scream Islamophobia while being Hindumisic. Ex-mgmt of Twitter , Vijaya Gadde, Jack Dorsey. Some politicians realize their new found woke identity as they beseech power/popularity. Kamala Haris, Mahua, and many.

BacktoCricaddict Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) When LeBron James' 18 yr old son Bronny James collapsed with a heart attack, Elon said: “We cannot ascribe everything to the vaccine, but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing. Myocarditis is a known side-effect” of the Covid-19 vaccine." This is obviously a thinly-veiled implication hat Bronny's heart attack was caused by the CoViD 19 vaccine. Blind, irresponsible speculation in the name of free speech. At that point, it wasn't even clear whether Bronny's heart attack was related to myocarditis. Amateur cardiologists like Elon of course do not know that heart attacks have a multitude of causes, not just myocarditis. This is why it is infuriating when someone who is brilliant in one aspect of life thinks they are brilliant in everything. Fast forward to today: https://www.news.com.au/sport/american-sports/nba/cause-behind-bronny-james-cardiac-arrest-finally-revealed/news-story/12dbd5af0b8d4ee7fec4e18b118a7c2a “After a comprehensive initial evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center led by Dr. Merije Chukumerije and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic led by Dr. Michael J. Ackerman and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center led by Dr. Matthew W. Martinez, the probable cause of Mr. James’ sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has been identified. It is an anatomically and functionally significant Congenital Heart Defect which can and will be treated,” said the spokesperson. So, now we know for sure it was not myocarditis-related, and hence not attributable to the vaccine. Will Elon retract his original statement in light of new facts and state that he was wrong to imply the involvement of the vaccine? Not holding my breath. Like many of his ilk, will he simply say that the "woke" "establishment" cardiologists are muzzling him by making something up about Bronny's heart condition? Won't put it past him. Given that Elon himself was infected with Covid 19, can we say that the virus made him a total jackass? I think it is fair to state that we cannot ascribe everything to the SARS CoV2 Virus but, by the same token, we cannot ascribe nothing. After all, nerve damage is a known side-effect of the Covid-19 vaccine.. Edited August 27 by BacktoCricaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just learned a term from west and trying to impress rest of us. https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/06/06/what-does-woke-even-mean-how-a-decades-old-racial-justice-term-became-co-opted-by-politics/?sh=67747be1513d Before the word was co-opted by the right wing, “woke” was a word used within Black communities and social justice campaigns to refer to an awareness of inequality, with some urging others to “stay woke”—and picked up mainstream popularity as the Black Lives Matter movement grew in the early 2010s, particularly after the 2014 police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Black activists and academics have also criticized white liberals for co-opting “woke” and using it in a performative way to appear progressive, as well as using it to refer to any left-leaning position, diluting its original meaning. The use of “woke” as a pejorative has extended beyond just the United States: Politicians in countries including Hungary, Switzerland and New Zealand have slammed “woke ideology” in recent months.

ravishingravi Posted October 8 Author Share Posted October 8 Not a day goes by and I don't thank Elon for having spare $40 bn to save some free press and news. Had twitter been under old regime much of the footage had been censored and we would have had #staywithgaza after the dastardly attacks. Let it all be seen. We can make up our minds.

BacktoCricaddict Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/09/tech/musk-x-misinformation-israel-hamas-conflict/index.html Misinformation has run rampant on Elon Musk’s social media platform X in the 48 hours since Hamas militants’ surprise attack on Israel, with users sharing false and misleading claims about the conflict and Musk himself pointing users to an account known for spreading misinformation. Multiple users over the weekend shared a fake White House news release falsely claiming the US was sending billions of dollars in new aid to Israel in response. Accounts on X with hundreds of thousands of followers in total quickly spread the doctored White House press release after it appeared online on Saturday. Social media influencer Jackson Hinkle, who was among those shared the fake release, claimed it was a slap in the face to Ukraine, which has been pleading with Washington for more money to defend itself from Russia. Musk himself added to the information chaos on Sunday by recommending X users follow the Israel-Hamas conflict by following an account known for spreading misinformation, including a fake report earlier this year of an explosion at the Pentagon. Musk and Hinkle later deleted their posts. Musk later posted: “As always, please try stay as close to the truth as possible, even for stuff you don’t like.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
