The Great Awokening breaks Trader Joe's

[PoliticalChic]

The humorous bullying scolds of the Great Awokening how now turned their sites on Trader Joe's. In their sour worldview, Trader Jose, Trader Giotti and Trader Ming are WACIST. Sadly, Trader Joe's is caving into the mob, and relabeling everything as "Joe's" from now on. But isn't that PATRIARCHICAL?

"While this approach to product naming may have been rooted in a lighthearted attempt at inclusiveness, we recognize that it may now have the opposite effect— one that is contrary to the welcoming, rewarding customer experience we strive to create every day," said Kenya Friend-Daniel, national director of public relations for Trader Joe's. "With this in mind, we made the decision several years ago to use only the Trader Joe's name on our products moving forward. Since then, we have been in the process of updating older labels and replacing any variations with the name Trader Joe's, and we will continue do so until we complete this important work.

"At this time, I don’t have an exact date but we expect to have the work completed very soon. Packaging for a number of the products has already been changed, but there’s a small number of products in which the packaging is still going through the process."

Petition asks Trader Joe's to change its 'racist' food packaging

As companies are hurriedly moving away from problematic depictions of race - from Aunt Jemima to the Washington NFL team - Trader Joe's is yet another brand is being asked to change its packaging of international products through a petition.

OK, I guess I'm not woke and will probably not wake any time soon. I don't get the nature of the problem with Trader Joe's. I don't think there are any in Tennessee, so it probably will not effect me. All I know of Trader Joe's is, it is a supposed to be a good place to get cheap blended wine.

TJ's has much more than cheap blended wine. They have nice variety of produce, meat, cheese, baked goods, ingredients, and some prepared food. I love their house brand olive oils, which are now going to be Trader Joe's instead of Trader Giotti's. I hate the humorlessness of woke millennials.

Seriously, I read the article and still do not understand the problem of the Woke (what a damn word) millennials. I usually understand what people are bitching about, even if I blow it off as not applying to me or that I just don't care. This time I don't understand what I'm blowing off. Make me feel old somehow.

Woke is just another collectivist cult using shaming and domestic terrorism to gain power. French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Maoist Cultural Revolution...it's happened before and in the end, they consume themselves.

Woke is a social warrior word. Really it is extortion.............forced acceptance.......shaming and virtue signalling are all part of their tactics..................works on sheep.....not so much to people that flip them off.........

Time for more people to tell them to go to hell........if they get bent .....get violent because the spoiled little wankers don't get their way.......time for a beat down..........We have never needed that more in this country than today.............

Yet there really aren't such courageous folks.....

Why?

There are some: i.e the Goya CEO.

Where is the invisible Republican Party that we elected to confront this lawless lying revolution?

Excellent question.

I am not an optimist.

I believe we are viewing the end stage of a great and noble experiment in self governance.

And your solution to self governance is what, again?

Articulate the question.

Where is the invisible Republican Party that we elected to confront this lawless lying revolution?

They were primaried, starting back in the Bush years. Republican party basically gone. All that is left is the hollowed out trump republicans and the Republicans wishing for a third party or changing to Independents.

Why do you suppose that is?

The tea partiers started by getting rid of the conservative that help keep the republicans and the two party system somewhat in balance. Tea party went out of vogue, but the idea of labeling conservative republican as rinos (mostly because they would not support radical change, in my humble opinion) did not and continued and the republican party moved further and further from thinking conservatively. Now to win, a republican has to act more like a fighter pilot than an airline pilot, both can get where they want to go, but one will give you a hell of a scary ride and may not land where you intended.

#50: Chodorov has a rebuttal to your claims, as he defines the difference twixt selfishness and individualism. In his model, the selfish want to get paid for (not [italics]) working. This is closer to the necessary labor/surplus labor problematic that makes socialism impossible.

Hardly the same..............last time I heard a boat has no political ambitions or greed.........it just is there..............

But you are correct that a keel and ballast increase stability on a ship........without it .....in a storm in the South China Sea.......not gonna go well for you.

OK, I guess I'm not woke and will probably not wake any time soon. I don't get the nature of the problem with Trader Joe's. I don't think there are any in Tennessee, so it probably will not effect me. All I know of Trader Joe's is, it is a supposed to be a good place to get cheap blended wine.

TJ's has much more than cheap blended wine. They have nice variety of produce, meat, cheese, baked goods, ingredients, and some prepared food. I love their house brand olive oils, which are now going to be Trader Joe's instead of Trader Giotti's. I hate the humorlessness of woke millennials.

Seriously, I read the article and still do not understand the problem of the Woke (what a damn word) millennials. I usually understand what people are bitching about, even if I blow it off as not applying to me or that I just don't care. This time I don't understand what I'm blowing off. Make me feel old somehow.

Woke is just another collectivist cult using shaming and domestic terrorism to gain power. French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Maoist Cultural Revolution...it's happened before and in the end, they consume themselves.

Woke is a social warrior word. Really it is extortion.............forced acceptance.......shaming and virtue signalling are all part of their tactics..................works on sheep.....not so much to people that flip them off.........

Time for more people to tell them to go to hell........if they get bent .....get violent because the spoiled little wankers don't get their way.......time for a beat down..........We have never needed that more in this country than today.............

Yet there really aren't such courageous folks.....

Why?

There are some: i.e the Goya CEO.

Where is the invisible Republican Party that we elected to confront this lawless lying revolution?

They were primaried, starting back in the Bush years. Republican party basically gone. All that is left is the hollowed out trump republicans and the Republicans wishing for a third party or changing to Independents.

Why do you suppose that is?

The tea partiers started by getting rid of the conservative that help keep the republicans and the two party system somewhat in balance. Tea party went out of vogue, but the idea of labeling conservative republican as rinos (mostly because they would not support radical change, in my humble opinion) did not and continued and the republican party moved further and further from thinking conservatively. Now to win, a republican has to act more like a fighter pilot than an airline pilot, both can get where they want to go, but one will give you a hell of a scary ride and may not land where you intended.

Nonsense.

I was part of the Tea Party.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Why does neither of those two facts surprise me?

The humorous bullying scolds of the Great Awokening how now turned their sites on Trader Joe's. In their sour worldview, Trader Jose, Trader Giotti and Trader Ming are WACIST. Sadly, Trader Joe's is caving into the mob, and relabeling everything as "Joe's" from now on. But isn't that PATRIARCHICAL?

"While this approach to product naming may have been rooted in a lighthearted attempt at inclusiveness, we recognize that it may now have the opposite effect— one that is contrary to the welcoming, rewarding customer experience we strive to create every day," said Kenya Friend-Daniel, national director of public relations for Trader Joe's.

Excellent question.

I am not an optimist.

I believe we are viewing the end stage of a great and noble experiment in self governance.

And your solution to self governance is what, again?

Articulate the question.

Are you saying you are against self governance, with a plurality of different viewpoints balance somewhat and preferring a designated strongman to hand down a single focused (I hate to use the word dictatorial, but am limited by my vocabulary, more than you) form of governance?

"Are you saying you are against self governance "

Of course not.

Thank you. You had me worried for a moment. This "experiment in self governance is nowhere near over. Watch the show. Keep making your voice heard. You should have lived the 60s and 70s. This ain't jack$hit in comparison.

It's the label on your granola bar. Relax, Snowflake.

But the label on my pancake syrup! And the label on my ice cream products! You have sullied everything so much that people have noticed. They are even being destroyed now. You keep cornering them they will respond somehow. Back off. But you can't. Its not in you. You go for the kill when there is no reason to. And we have seen this before in history. Just packaged different. With the names changed.

You're gonna start a civil war over the label on your pancake syrup?

You really are stupid.

You are sorely mistaken if you think I care about your opinion of me.

Oh, well please go on then about how a niche hippy grocery store is committing a Reign of Terror. Then please explain why conservatives are such whiny little bitches.

And this is why you are a busybody and an a-hole!
You're an up to date Gladys Kravitz standing at your window with a pair of binoculars just hoping
to find something that you can bitch about and feel outraged over.

You're a sick person.
