    I bet the last Tsar of Russia thought these type of petty things were also the biggest issues of his time.

    The wealthy tradionalist class of a society often have zero connection with real struggles commoners experience where their concerns become extremely trivial compared to the concerns of the commoners.

    The linked article shows the nation's most popular "news" network dedicate a segment to this.

    I don't care if you retort "I don't care about Fox News". Ya it's the most popular cable news network on tv. It has genuine influence. The executives of Fox News know what their base audience of middle class to wealthy white conservative viewers want to hear to maximize time eyes are on the screen.

    Fox News if you watch for an extended period of time over the day dedicates a lot of coverage to these type of "woke" stories. It's extremely pathetic. But this is the junk food your average conservative dad in suburbia wants to listen to.

    I don't feel like spamming for links. There are dozens of these segnements just on youtube alone. Just completely out of touch class of people.

    I already know they run these anti-woke segments on Fox News and then sit back and laugh during commercial break about how their audience actually eats this sh*t up

    U think Tucker Carlson and the rest of them actually give a damn about Lego, the Green M&M, etc?

    I’m not so sure about that

    Why go on and on about Legos, the green M&M, xbox, etc if it wasn’t resonating with most of their audience and they actually don’t care about it? There’s a reason ESPN always talks about the Lakers and doesn’t give a damn about the Pacers, Pistons, Wizards, Wolves, etc.

    Anything to distract from the biggest wealth transfer in decades...keep them divided and fighting amongst themselves less they direct their attention to the true culprits.

    Yeah, why can’t these anti-wokers go back to burning banning books which is not be confused as woke or cancel culture.

    Just saying.

    What a shitty excuse for a human you’d have to be to get mad that LEGO are trying to include kids with disabilities

    Maybe if little Jimmy worked harder he could grow back his missing limb.

    I kinda agree with the premise of Lego being woke. If they were truly trying to include children with disabilities, they would include anyone who posted in these forums. Especially @astros123 . He deserves his own lego figurine.

    Anti-wokesters (aka bigots) need to find something better with their time to do.

    I mean really - we all get that some of this woke **** is really ridiculous and annoying. But the overreaction to it is just hysteria.

    I haven't seen anyone get mad except for a few leftist posters on this thread.
