I see in my everyday life that 'woke' ideas are being celebrated.
Since I've been consuming a lot of RP content, especially the Forums and Rollo Tomassi, it has become an integral part of my way of thinking. Even so much that I bring some of these ideas into conversations.
Now obviously I don't mention "The Red Pill" or anything like that, that would be regarded as cringe (like sigma/alpha males or whatever), unless it's a joke.
I really feel the urge sometimes to 'correct' peoples wrong views from statistical standpoints or want to mention some concepts, but I know it's not a good idea, bc. everyone is relatively woke and would make a fuss about them. Therefore I don't do it, or only when I sense it would bring something productive out of it.
In a way it would make sense to just talk woke all the time, to not stand out.
What are your thoughts about this? How do you go on about this?

Actions speak louder than words. You don't need to talk or argue about worldviews. Just live it and people will see your success.

Bruh! Elon Musk just lost $100 billion because he is for free speech and against cancel culture and fired a bunch of woke SJWs. Don't do it. It's not worth it. Just take the money and run and let other people take their blue pill and wake up believing whatever they want.
The actual go woke/go broke saying is for things like the new James Bond movie where Bond is a black woman. The whole franchise was destroyed. Or Sports Illustrated switching to plus sized models and then completely tanking.

There is a misconception
Go woke go broke is when traditionally neutral entities go woke and thus alienate their 50/50 conservative/liberal (maybe 30/30/30 if we're counting independents) conservatives and most independents
Entities that have always skewed liberal or acquire a heavily liberal market replacement for their former neutral base do not suffer from go woke go broke
For example, Disney goes woke and loses a fuck ton of conservative parents and thus their children who don't make the consumption choices
Liberal woke colleges do not suffer because they were 90% + already liberal
If in company of people who hate the woke you'd benefit from dunking on it. In traditionally always woke places just keep your head down if you don't want to sacrifice your values
I've gotten partially away with making anti woke points at my college, but that's because I save my opinions for unassailable comments. Like I'll say something unwole but it's not on a detail woke tards can actually challenge in good faith
Best bet is to know your company and either speak up or just keep your head down

Yea that makes sense. I'd just feel like a phony since everyone always said to "speak your mind" and people will respect you.

I'm probably older than you, and in a different location. I don't see all this wokeness going around in my daily life and interactions. The only time I see it, is when I'm on the internet, or reading a newspaper. Everywhere else, people are just normal. I think it's massively exaggerated by the propaganda machinery how many people really care about that shit. It's not just the left, the right is using it for all it's worth too.
In general, when dealing with people I don't agree with for whatever reason, I either don't engage in "discussion" (if they're stupid), or I ask questions (if they're not stupid). I don't take opinions seriously though, not my own, not anyone else's. So I don't go around telling people they're wrong either.
I'm kind of sick of opinions anyways. People treat them as if they're well thought-out, empirically based analyses, when in reality they're largely based on personality, value systems, and a good deal of hamstering, self comfort, and ego preservation. Getting to what's underneath an opinion can be interesting if the person is interesting, but opinions in and of themselves are largely uninteresting and pointless.
At least, that's my opinion on opinions.
I'm with Norm when it comes to opinions: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gN02rRbOlUE

When everyone around you goes woke it's time to GTFO, because otherwise you're considered being a woke enabler later, too. You don't want that, it ruins your reputation for lifetime.
Until then you just keep your mouth shut, unless being asked. But at the point where you have to talk woke to not stand out, it's time to GTFO. Just like 1936 Germany, where you had to talk nazi to not stand out (and every "woke" company back then did) - back then you GTFO'd to Switzerland and the same you do today, if you happen to be in the wrong location with the wrong people.
