woke culture gives people a little voice in the back of their head that says violence is ok and justified as long as it’s carried out in accordance with the church’s principles.
What's woke about this? You're using newspeak to describe something that doesn't require it. For all you know none of the people involved here are "woke".
And if woke is equivalent to stupidity, then based on what I've seen these days, that runs equally on both sides. Such as you for example, because there isn't really much in this situation that can be pinned to current-year political idpol culture war shenanigans...lest Bob Iger paid the employee to body-slam the woman in a marketing stunt for Disney + to "shove it to the alt-right"...which is retarded.
I don't like IDPol either. I am in a way lampooning the reaction to these type of situations.
At the same time, most stereotypes - be them positive or negative, tend to be based in reality.
People can be both individuals and stereotypes. If you want to be treated like an individual act like one. If you want to be treated like a stereotype, act exactly like how people expect you to act, like the body slamming worker here.
The issue is some groups get the honor of being viewed as individuals more than others, by and large. Right in this example here, there's people in the thread making blanket generalizations about black people because ONE black guy body-slammed a middle-aged white woman. As if the employee is representative of all or even most black people. But the same people doing that, if the employee were white, would just probably mock him as an individual, maybe comparing him to some crazed wrestler or prankster.
And that happens all the time, it's been seen enough to raise an eyebrow or two. Some of these people are also the same ones that'll take something idiotic BS a white SJW is saying about white people (or Asians, or some other non-black group) and then play a game of whataboutism going "But imagine if they said this about a black person! The outrage!!". It's effectively injecting something into a situation to not actually address the root of it, but using someone else as a prop as you lack the capability of making a convincing argument without resorting to such.
To be perfectly honest, seeing anti-SJWs do that over and over again gets very tiring since I see their point on a lot of things (and to be fair, I see SJWs on some of their points as well. In both cases, just with the saner things). It just reminds me that I am not seen on an equal playing field on that side of the culture war fence, because ultimately like SJWs, they will use someone like myself as a pet or a prop to virtue signal every now and again, and then go back to generalizing me with their more toxic rhetoric moments after. That's why when I saw this:
Notice the mob-like mentality the black people show when somebody happens to insult them. It's almost as though they crumble into a thousand pieces at the very mention of the word "n***ger" and resort to being rage-filled simpletons, instead of rising above it and showing they're better than that.
I specifically felt the need to indicate that, hey, you're kinda lumping me into that, and you don't even know me as an individual nor personally. And honestly, knowing that this person is likely an anti-SJW and indicates they probably don't care enough anyway if they felt the tingling to say something like this in the first place, just goes to show that at the end of the day, I'm not really wanted on that side of the camp any more than the SJW side genuinely would want me, either. Except for, again, just to exist as a prop or a statistic, used only when an anti-SJW would feel a need to virtue signal and go "see, I'm not racist you SJWs!" by listening to my opinion only in that kind of instance.
The fact there aren't very many SJWs or anti-SJWs pointing attention to this is the bigger irony and just reminds me why they're both so similar despite pretending they're genuinely different. And I rarely if ever feel a need to mention any traits about myself in any discussion because that seriously should not matter nor factor whatsoever. Someone will probably say I'm a hypocrite and say I'm generalizing and stereotyping myself, but in my case I'm not accusing ALL anti-SJWs or SJWs of being that way, just acknowledging there are some who are. But apparently pointing out an example where one is seems equivalent to others as to say it is all...well at that point, who's really the one failing to see a person as an individual? Doesn't feel like it's me.
