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.

Bill Maher had a discussion recently with (gasp) Joe Rogan. Progressives might want to watch it. A particular quote which is pretty succinct is:
"“That’s not what the woke believe. They believe race is first and foremost the thing you always should see everywhere. Which I find is interesting because that used to be the position of the Klu Klux Klan, that we see race first and foremost everywhere,” Maher said. “So, again, you can have that position, but don’t say that’s a liberal position. You’re doing something very different.”

  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.
