Holy shit.

This singlehandedly takes things from 'cringey and pathetic' to 'are you actually literally mentally unwell?'

This is not stable behavior. Did Lindsay get into Peterson's drugs, or something?

How can you do this shit with a straight face? Wait...did Lindsay ever stop his social experiment?

He should just come out and say 'haha, I was only pretending to be retarded!'

Surely he's trolling at this point? This reads like a joke to bring more attention to his "brand" since things haven't been working out so well lately. Or up his engagement for higher X payouts.

did Lindsay ever stop his social experiment?

Remember the Grievance Studies expose that he was involved in. They pretended to be ideological academics to get numerous papers published before exposing the whole thing after it looked like they were about to get rumbled. Same possibility could be playing out here with the "woke right".

I don't even understand the premise, how is Arby's tweet political or have anything to do with the woke right bs? This guy is fucking deranged

Black people have an infamous problem with a lack of father's in home. Noticing that is RAYCIST, and woke right is a new slur for alt right (I think).

Ironically Jimbo is the one acting like a woke leftist, assuming it's a racist joke.

That was what I was thinking, woke people throw a fit at the smallest joke. I assume Lindsay is acting woke on purpose? He is a smart guy, he can't possibly not realize how this looks.

Maybe this is a social experiment to see if the right has become immune to stupid name-calling?

James Lindsay has a history of making intellectual mistakes because he's not that smart but then he'll play them off as "haha, I was only kidding and this was always my plan because I am so smart, hehe"

This'll probably just end up as being one of those things.

Smart people aren't infallible pillars of rationality. Even smart people go full retard if their beliefs are challenged.

The opposite, he's calling everyone not offended by the joke "woke" because what's more woke than not being bothered by comedy?

Certain people are trying very fucking hard to make it impossible to positively identify a specific demographic for a rather significant reason.

I mean, you can see how hard people even here are trying super hard to make "Woke Right" a made up term being used to manipulate us, instead of something we all fucking knew what it meant before the "mainstream" started spamming it.

Almost like we were hitting too close to home and they had to take that bit of noticing away from us, and people took the bait.

Oh no maybe I am Woke Right after all

https://x.com/ConceptualJames/status/1922832496212816172

You are, apparently. It didn't have to be this way, and it's bad.

What if I ate Chipotle tonight? Not saying I did or didn’t. Is that Woke Right? Can you give us a list of the Woke Right fast food chains? What about Jersey Mike’s?

https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1922854570755023122

My tweet was a joke in reference to the fact that I like Arby’s. James included it here without that context. He is nothing but a smear merchant and I’m glad that now any honest person can see it.

The whole thing about deadbeat dads abandoning their families isn't exclusive to blacks. The first time I recall even hearing it was the Simpsons, Nelson Muntz's dad going out for smokes and never coming back was a running gag for decades.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu8SGc2BHyk&pp=ygUVbmVsc29uJ3MgZGFkIHNpbXBzb25z

In fact, I'd say the trope of a deadbeat dad who abandons his family is more of a white man thing. Blacks are so promiscuous they often don't know who the father was to begin with, so there's no 'coming back' for the father. In fact I remember a story of how accidental incest is uncommon because two blacks had no idea they had the same father.

In fact, I'd say the trope of a deadbeat dad who abandons his family is more of a white man thing.

The most prominent form of it in my experience (maybe data says otherwise) is black dad/white mom. Where he stays to try and milk all the free shit from everyone rushing to support the mother (a white thing), and then bails once it gets hard and he has to do things beyond show up (a few years in).

White guys have a harder time straight abandoning a family because the government wants their cut and will get that child support, so he isn't as able to just "disappear" fully. Whereas if they put the work in for that with black fathers, it would require a new jail in every town to fill with non-payers.

Black on black breeding is usually as you say, too slutty to confidently name one, so its often just the favorite boyfriend that gets named until he dips for a plethora of reasons.

Yeah most white women i know with black baby daddy's were abandoned by said baby daddy. The ones that weren't are A. Married, B. Right wing and C. An incredibly small minority

I've never met one that wasn't. Heck I've never even met one that reached the level to be married in the first place.

The irony being I've met plenty of the opposite, white guy with black (well, always some lightskin mutt) girl. Quite a few healthy and normal families I've met of that pair.

For those wondering the Arby's quote Lindsay is offended by is

"Unlike Dad, our Ham and Swiss actually came back"

Apparently that is 'woke right', whatever that is.

What the fuck is woke right, that sounds like an oxymoron. Workism is left wing nonsense of regressive policies and virtue signalling with no real action.

It's the woke/globalist left trying desperately to dilute the definition of woke since it has been extremely successful in tagging their degeneracy. People hear that a game is woke and they are far more likely to move on rather than buy it, etc. No violent protests or riots no doxxing, just not being rewarded for pushing the Message everywhere anymore.

So you have a proper "left can't meme" situation, such as this guy doing everything he can to keep this artificial "meme" alive.

Best explanation I've seen. Its a deliberate attempt to stop the successful public awareness of wokeness in everything by diluting the term.

It's kvetching that right-wingers are starting to think along collective group identities like race and religion again rather than sticking to the liberal "there's only one race: the human race" bullshit that was force fed to us for decades. We're seeing that phony unity collapse in real time as the left is growing more and more racialized and open in their goals to destroy whites, and we can either stick to the 'principles' of the liberal bullshit that neutered western civilization and eventually go extinct, or we can fight back and reclaim our birthright that our forefathers built for us. Because I'll guarantee you our great grandfathers didn't toil away in the mines and factories to build a future for muslims and indians.

It was originally just a meme phrase to describe the people coming to the Right with the pendulum swinging back and trying to "hello fellow kids" Woke ass beliefs with Right wing language.

Such as "women should never be attractive or slutty in media, but because porn bad and trad wives amirite?!" takes. Which is literally indistinguishable from Woke results, and they are just hiding it behind new messaging. Same with a lot of the H1B controversy around Christmas, which was a lot of open borders nonsense but wrapped in Right-wing ideas like meritocracy and "the left are the real racists."

This was getting way too successful, so literally in the middle of Vivek and Elon getting destroyed and roasted for thier bullshit, the term "suddenly" caught on with the Mainstream in hilariously empty ways that everyone immediately saw through (almost too easily) and now its become a useless term that denotes nothing but being an idiot.

He's doing the Grifter Pivot.

By late this year he will be a regular on NPR, pontificating about the dangerous Christian fascism of Donald Trump. 🙄
