John Lydon: Sex Pistols star declares war on wokeness as he blasts ‘spoilt’ snowflakes

“They just view themselves as special. It’s selfishness and in that respect it’s divisive and can only lead to trouble.

“I can’t believe that TV stations give some of these lunatics the space.”

The former punk rocker claimed that their attitudes can lead to “trouble” and are “divisive”.

Get ready for Critical Looks Theory — the idea that attractive people “benefit from a violent system of lookism”!

Critical theory and other socialist-adjacent woke theories are all about jealousy.

Need proof?

Take a gander at this very woke screed against the violence of “lookism” that is perpetuating deep-seated injustices against normal-looking people everywhere:

I have to admit, she used all the proper terminology.

She’s (seriously) saying that attractive people are inherently bad because their beauty makes everyone else look ugly in comparison.

She then equates this to systemic oppression and infers that said system needs to be torn down.

What she doesn’t tell us is how we insert “beauty equity” or “good looks reparations” to tear down this “system”!

If you follow the logic through, she’s saying that beautiful people need to become less beautiful (think through how that would be accomplished) and justifies it by saying they deserve it because they are bad.

Of course this is ridiculous.

Google Docs gets social justice update, autocorrecting to gender neutral and politically correct language

Google announced on Tuesday, during its I/O developer conference, that editing capabilities of Google Docs have been expanded to police text and monitor a writer’s level of inclusivity.

Thus an update to the app means that Google Docs will start suggesting changing words like “mailman” to “mail carrier” and “chairman” to “chairperson,” it has been revealed.

Users will also be prompted to avoid using passive voice or what Google determines to be offensive language. It’s unclear from reports if the new feature will be opt-in or out, or hard-coded in the app, that is, impossible to avoid using.

This user-facing change comes after Google’s style guide for developers already seeking to “tidy up” language according to the sensitivities the giant is pandering to. For example, developers are instructed to replace “crazy” with “baffling,” “dummy variable” with “placeholder variable,” and “final sanity-check” with “final check for completeness and clarity.”

As early as 2018, Google got rid of gender pronouns from predictive text on Gmail for fear of offending somebody on that front, as well as of racial slurs, expletives, and mentions of business rivals.

CEO Sundar Pichai is said to have made implementing social justice tenets a priority for the whole of Google.
