Aaron Erlich, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said it’s important to make people aware of misleading information online. But he said the wording in the CSIS campaign was “not the most straightforward” and appeared to be an attempt not just to educate but to invoke fear.

Erlich said clumsy messaging can backfire, and he would like to know if the messaging was tested at all to see how it would be received.

They remade the house hippo ad but it is super woke.

I don’t see what is “super woke” about this.

The remake is telling you not to be criticial but to make sure anything you encounter online comes from a “trusted source” or is “fact checked”. The website it tells you to visit is just woke propaganda.

So to you “woke” simply means not trusting everything you read on the internet?

I think you might have a house hippo infestation you should look into.

Extraordinary claims being made? The source the video links to is breakthefake.ca. You can visit the source yourself and verify whether random internet comments describing the website are truthful and accurate.

What does “woke” mean?

  1. This new house hippo is “woke”

  2. The original house hippo is “not woke” (It appears exempt from “woke”, because the new hippo is not just “woke” but “super woke”)

  3. Using Bill Maher’s supplied definition, it follows that the remake is now promoting “race as the first and foremost thing people should always see everywhere” [compare the original and remake to confirm this]

I just watched The House Hippo 2.0 and I think it’s totally woke because…

You know, I can’t even keep up with the “x and y is woke!!1!” crowd. I’ll have to do a frame by frame comparison. Maybe it’s some of the production crew or voice actors or something? Maybe the VFX were done by a “woke” company? I don’t know. I can’t be bothered.

Woke

Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.

My son's woke kindergarten teacher taught him that he's actually a girl because he played with dolls.

Which mental illnesses would those be? Could you be specific?

I’m just looking for clarity. You presumably endorse the definition you posted and I want to understand what it means. Which mental illnesses?

[Edit] Is there some reason you don’t want to clarify this? You seem pretty cagey.
