Yeah, I suppose those would. I wouldn’t have thought it, but definitionally, it would be! I mean, heck, some of those are listed by Meriam-Webster! Isn’t language neat? You learn something new every day.

Unless you think something is missing from that definition, Lemmy is social media. It is pseudonymous, but it is still social because of the users.
Oh we can ___, we’re just required to pay massive amounts of money to a corporate middleman to do it.
Basically America.
Sounds like we shouldn’t cater to closed-minded people then. You can’t change people that don’t want to change, and if they want to be wrong, that’s on them.
Barbie is a decent movie with the message that women are people and to treat them like people and not play things. I wouldn’t even call that your definition of woke. Now, if the movie started calling for women’s hygiene products to be free and had Barbie stealing that shit from Walmart and Target and doling it out to the poor, we can start talking.
Could you define woke?
Definitionally, you argued.
So, are you suggesting that people aren’t allowed to complain about things, are you suggesting that complaining about things cannot be done in tandom with works that better the lives of trans, or are you suggesting that people that actually want trans people to have better lives don’t get to complain about things? Because every one of those implications are dumb as shit, especially if you have any historical knowledge of civil rights movements.
No, instead you’ve taken a stance historically used to oppress civil rights movements, using a false dilemma to essentially proport that one cannot talk about the issue because that is wasting time not doing some unknown thing about it.
And by virtue of your own post, why are you arguing with people about people arguing instead of helping trans people get the rights they deserve?
Authoritarianism and enforced heirarchical structures (as well as support for such regimes) are very much a right-wing philosophy. They also espouse the same “both sides” philosophy that conservatives push (which is a justification for maintaining the status quo, and another right-wing position.)
Because people other than the two arguing read that and learn things. If someone states factually wrong or hurtful information about, say, trans people, I would rather they be corrected than someone think that trans people are anything other than human beings being human beings from that prior comment.
The biggest mistake a lot of people make is being born poor.
