    It’s an ad for redballoon[dot]work, who describe themselves as “America’s #1 woke-free job board & talent connector.”

    YouTube suggested this same video to me the other day and my partner and I were both completely distracted by the ad. Googling the first phrase I could pick out gave me plenty of results for other discussions. Almost feels like a PsyOp, lol.

      Because it is.

      Very literally. It’s been designed in a certain way to manipulate people’s feelings in a particular way so that they will vote in a particular useful fashion. The people designing the campaigns don’t care about “woke” in the slightest, and the electoral outcomes it’s all designed to produce have nothing to do with it, either.
