The wokeness of all of the above has created idiocracy that is no longer peaceful, entertaining, or informationally accurate.

I spend a LOT less time at CF because of the woke Mods - which turned out to be a good thing.

Hi energy costs due to the villainization of fossil fuels.

Traffic lanes turned into bike lanes that nobody uses.

The Train To Nowhere.

All the other shit is just noise to make conservatives angry. **** The Woke.

The woke progressive shit has ironically resulted in more censorship. I hear a speaker introduce themselves and mention pronouns, I literally am unable to stop from rolling my eyes and this will probably get me fired eventually.

Family no longer takes yearly trips to Disney World. Dollywood has become a good replacement.

Can’t stand to watch SciFi shows anymore with all the woke crap; especially new the new woke Star Trek.

The good thing is none of this really matters much. I’m too old to sweat the little things. Now if woke affects the whiskey industry, that’s another thing!

I used to watch a lot of sports, but now that they've gone all BLM/rainbow/tree hugger, that's less time and money I waste on them.

Excellent point. I haven't watched the NFL in five seasons now. That's a lot of hours on Sundays where I'm doing something better than watching poor oppressed millionaires crying because somebody hit them too hard.

I'm glad I'm self employed. I have no tolerance for hearing that pronoun bullshit and I'd be fired from a woke corporate environment in a hurry.

I watch ZERO network shows, as all are WOKE, I can get by with reruns of seinfled, KofQueens, raymond with that hottie patricia and charlie sheen show.
I do not watch ANY movies, they all suck.
I watch only streaming show that have ZERO PC or WOKENESS.
I just rewatched all 5 seasons of Yellowstone, they have their own justice system.

I was VERY anti-PC before the woke shit started, so I was ready.

We've written off both Disney and Marvel; both used to be our go-to's for decent entertainment. Other entertainment sources are pretty hit or miss; like Bayou mentioned, most of the new Star Treks are woke garbage, although I've been mostly OK with Strange New Worlds.

Another casualty is my now-inability to purchase and/or own a scary black long gun which is in common use nationally, because our commie guvnor thinks making them illegal will magically stop all the gang violence, drive-by's, and carjackings in Chicago.
