The Babylon Bee Guide To Being Woke February 11th, 2021 Brought to you by: Woke Fragility (a parody!): Bringing Moderates to Heel Being "woke" is very important in order to show the world you're a good person, and also to avoid having your entire life wrecked by a Twitter mob! In order to achieve success and respect from all the good woke people -- which is the most important thing you can achieve in life -- you need to learn how to be properly woke! Here is our definitive guide: Carefully choose your pronouns and then scream them at everyone you meet: Whenever you go to Costco, loudly scream your pronouns in shoppers' faces. If anyone refuses to celebrate your pronouns, smash a giant box of pretzels over their head and call the manager. Select the most oppressed identity possible: Test people's loyalty to the cause by identifying as a walrus and cancel anyone who doesn't make walrus noises every time they see you. Compare everything to Nazis: Compare everything to Nazis (as long as you're a Democrat. If you're a Republican this might get you fired). Learn to hate the right people: Hate is good when directed at the correct targets. All you have to do is follow the guidelines of a mentally ill Twitter mob who will help steer your hate in the right direction! Pre-order David Hogg's Good Pillow: You want to sleep at night, don't you?? Classify everyone according to their race and not as an individual: Always loudly acknowledge the skin color of every person you talk to and make it the main subject of the conversation. If you are white, do not have any black friends: This may trick you into thinking you aren't racist. To help atone for our racist past, try some casual segregation: Create safe spaces where everyone is segregated by race, gender, and gender identity. It's the only way to achieve unity. Anyone who objects to this is racist. Vote for policies that sound virtuous, no matter how much they actually harm people of color: Always vote for policies with virtuous-sounding names, even if they destroy black and brown communities. Appearance is everything! Always have extremely low expectations of minorities: Be sure to constantly remind them they can never overcome their circumstances without your help. Abandon religion, and instead accept everything the woke crowd believes without question: Your religious beliefs are at odds with others. You should fix that and accept Wokism. Repeat after us: WOKISM IS NOT A CULT. WOKISM IS NOT A CULT. WOKISM IS NOT A CULT. WOKISM IS NOT A CULT. WOKISM IS NOT A CULT. Achieve inner peace by constantly beating yourself up for not doing better: Place a hard yoke and a heavy lifelong burden upon yourself that will never be satisfied and that will never offer grace, forgiveness, or rest. That's pretty much it! Get back to us when you have achieved all these. We'll probably have a new list for ya!

In San Francisco, Drug Overdoses Claimed Twice As Many Lives As COVID-19 BY TYLER DURDEN SUNDAY, APR 18, 2021 - 02:35 PM Authored by Ivan Pentchoukov via The Epoch Times, More than twice as many people died from accidental drug overdoses in San Francisco in 2020 than from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, according to preliminary data released by the city’s office of the Chief Medical Examiner. A total of 713 people died from drug overdoses in the city in 2020 compared to 255 who died from the CCP virus, commonly known as the coronavirus. Nationwide, the largest increase in the number of overdose deaths occurred in March and May 2020 and coincided with the CCP virus lockdowns, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The increases in drug overdose deaths appear to have accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the CDC said in a statement. Overdose deaths were rising steadily before the lockdowns. During the 12-month period ending in May last year, 81,230 people died from accidental drug overdoses, the largest 12-month total ever recorded. Men accounted for the overwhelming majority of the deaths at 81 percent. Twenty-seven percent of the victims did not have a fixed address. The trend lines have inverted in 2021, with more people having died from the CCP virus (261) in January through March than from drug overdoses (203). The reversal coincided with the gradual reopening of the city that commenced on Jan. 21. Several business types, including indoor playgrounds and nightclubs, are still not allowed to operate. Over the course of 2020, fentanyl was behind more overdose deaths than any other drug. China has been the main source of fentanyl and has flooded the United States with the drug in recent years. The CCP subsidizes fentanyl producers, according to Ben Westhoff, an investigative journalist who went undercover into two Chinese fentanyl operations. “What I learned was that these companies making fentanyl and other dangerous drugs are subsidized by the government. And so when they work in these suburban office parks, for example, the building, the costs for research and development, they have these development zones, they get export tax breaks,” Westhoff told Illegal Tender, a Yahoo podcast.
