Hate influencer Chaya Raichik – who goes by “Libs of TikTok” online – is trying to take her show on the road, and it doesn’t appear to be going well.

Raichik gave a speech yesterday at the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, alongside Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN).

During her speech, she ranted about “pornographic” books in schools and moved on to her hatred of everything “woke.”

Some students started laughing.

“Um, do you have a question? Is something funny?” she asked, apparently not expecting people to find her over-the-top concerns funny.

“How do you define wokeness?” someone in the back asked.

Raichik tried to respond: “Wokeness is the destruction of normalicy [sic] and… And… Um… Uh…” More students started laughing.

“… of our lives,” she said, apparently thinking she was finishing a sentence.

    I think it’s meaning is clearly defined and well understood. The christofascists have attempted to co-opt it is a slur to refer to anything they don’t like which causes confusion for them and their weak minded followers but that doesn’t mean that the definition has changed.

      It’s the same idiotic functional equivalent of hating Antifa. Oh, we’re PRO fascist are we then? Anti woke? Oh, we prefer the ignorance of unconsciousness, do we?

      They earn my mockery. Every damn day, working so fuckin’ hard to be shit humans. The absolute least I can do is reward them with a good point and loud laugh.

          I had to educate my boomer parents over and over again about it. Reganism sure did a fucking mind job on that generation.
