      That’s actually how I feel like many are arguing. I don’t like it, because it’s woke. And it’s woke, because I don’t like it

      All government contractors have to be “woke” to get the contracts. I am surprised the alt right isn’t blaming the government for ruining defense contractors with mandatory DEI (I jest, they definitely are).

      Woke is when people fall out of your aircraft and then you kill your own employees

    “Highly educated people have opinions”

    I suppose I will have to shop elsewhere for my hypersonic ballistic missile shield.

    Their methodology is basically this :

    1. Find news articles about the company
    2. If it’s a positive article about the company’s environmental work, inclusion statements or supports any Biden policies then BAM woke.
    3. If it’s an article about the company donations to election denying politicians, about the company being accused of racism or about Republican donations then it gets stamped non woke.
    4. Average the results and profit!

    I’m not sure how many articles they “find” or how they decide which ones to include but this website is as hilarious as it is sad. Imagine being so afraid of the word “woke” that you feel the need curate a list of companies to avoid.

      I sort of want every company imaginable to be marked as “extremely woke”. Get the alt right out of the marketplace. Let them create secondary and underground stores.

    Call it whatever you want, but all I see is a weirdly unexpected avenue for potential solidarity against a major arms manufacturer. Hell, I’ll call it woke if it helps turn Americans against the fuckers building bombs.

      They’re not upset about them building bombs that kill Palestinian children, they’re upset that they also hire black people.

    What the actual fuck!?

    Woke, when boiled down to its very basic premise is: giving a shit about other people in society.

    They’re against that so much so that they make websites like this to avoid giving money to corporations that pretend to value other people’s existence?

    God I hate propagandists so fucking much…

      Pretty sure the people actually using it in a derogatory manner don’t care about common usage or meaning and use it as a placeholder for the n* word when talking in public. Urban, woke, DEI, East coast elite, etc is all just bigotry and racism.

      The point is that it’s all pretense anyway. At least for me. Capital has no soul, it’s a constantly mutating cancer that feeds on itself. So the rainbow flags seem a little disingenuous.

      Don’t forget they’re usually also agains cancel culture, which makes this even better.
