Well, in my region it typically is already sufficient to look Arabic to become the guest of a "random" police control.
Compared to that, having a closer look at people running GrapheneOS on their phones sounds relatively well-grounded and almost reasonable.
At least not totally crypto-racist (although I have the feeling that still comes on top...)
Thanks!
Turns out that OPs heading is a little bit exaggerated, as nobody is confiscating anything.
I do know, but I also refuse to do OPs work for him.
Would be minimal effort to post a link together with a click-baity (and wrong - nobody is confiscating anything) heading.
Perhaps. And maybe also a trans-ponder.
Maybe she meant hobophobic.
Because hobos travel a lot and would certainly benefit of multiple SIMs to avoid roaming costs.
Well, this is clearly a satirical comment, isn't it? .... ISN'T IT???
Interesting, didn't know these!
But honestly, standing under such as sky as in the Wikipedia images, I would quite certainly also feel queasy... ;-)
Passt leider ins Bild.
Was ich als Radfahrer mit Kind hinterdrauf an aggressivem und gemeingefährlichem Verhalten abbekommen habe, löst nachträglich immer noch entsetztes Grausen bei mir aus...
Am I the only one being ominously stressed out because the rainbow is inverted?
As others already wrote, the original meaning has been specific to awareness of racial discrimination, later broadened to general discrimination topics.
But that is just the US, and e.g. in Germany these roots (and also the connection to wake/asleep) are mostly missing.
So it is just a normal imported word, with no clear antonym existing.
Also because of this only recent import of the term, it is less connected to its original meaning, but often only associated with a well-intended, but superficial kind of activism.
E.g. it is heavily associated with a generally not very popular over-gendering going on in official and news texts, which leads to a broken kind of the German language. (German is heavily gendered, but a word's gender often has nothing to do with the sexual gender).
So the term had a somewhat negative connotation to begin with, even in more progressive circles.
Doesn't hinder the far right from doing anti-woke campaigns nonetheless, wokism is just such a nice (but actually in the broader population none-existent) opponent. And they use the term "Anti-Woke", because it just makes sense for an imported word.
One thing is certain:
The day the related news story got viral, champagne corks must have been flying in the marketing department at GrapheneOS...
