Do you really believe this? It seems inconsistent with free speech and Paul Graham’s own definition of wokeness.

What other ideologies fall in this category? Or another way, what ideologies don’t fall under the category of free speech? Should we stop advertisements with gay people? All religions or just non-Christian religions? What makes an ideology woke? That the mainstream is uncomfortable with it?

  • if you cared about running a business and making money, you should know your customers well and not do anything to upset that demographic

    this isn't ideology related its market driven reality in capitalist countries

    • Fine. But thats distinct from what Graham is saying, which is that collaborating with a trans person is "venturing too far into wokeness".

Yes, that's what people actually mean when they say "woke", but would Graham openly admit that?

Did they promote "trans ideology"? Did the ad say anything about trans principles?

Or did it just have a trans person in it?

Because if you are saying employing trans people is woke, that's pretty messed up.

    • Does that apply to every actor bud hires? If that actor says something personal on their feed, bud is promoting their ideology?

      Tom Cruise did ads for bud, is Budweiser promoting Scientology?

      If not, walk me through why one is promoting ideology and the other isn't.
