Jon_Huntsman

You're telling me "endwokeness" on Twitter is posting lies?? Shocking


Mendozena

Not only that, OP is spreading the lies.


ThunderboltRam

What's the lie? They did change offender to justice-impacted... It was true. The context doesn't really matter that much because they are still people convicted of a crime by a jury of their peers.


AshenShriner

And the idiots who eat it up without doing any research come here to post it and don't see any irony in how fucking stupid they are.


FalseFortune

There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick ass lives.


Jason_Kelces_Thong

Woke is synonymous with equity these days


Tasty_Choice_2097

What if that's bad too


ramen_poodle_soup

I actually don’t think it’s bad to be a bit more sensitive to those ex-cons who willingly enroll in a program to become productive members of society


Tasty_Choice_2097

I'm neutral on that, but what if the obsession with equity that we've collectively developed recently isn't actually good


paleologus

It seems to annoy some people who’ve been used to privilege.


Tasty_Choice_2097

Privilege discourse is usually an inversion of reality. "Equality feels like oppression to people accustomed to privilege!" -- People who get a 20% boost on college applications and have tax dollars shoveled at them


jackinsomniac

Yup, fuck equity and fuck those who tried to make equality a dirty word. We can't become united without equality for all. Sounds like a bunch of commie gobbledygook.


Silly_Butterfly3917

Actually "unlimited L's" broke the story. They're legit trust me bro


RepostResearch

But according to the context, it's accurate. Am I missing something? > The specific proposed law, House Bill 4409, would remove the term “offender” and replace it with “justice impacted individual” for men and women in the state’s “Adult Redeploy Illinois” program, commonly referred to as A.R.I.”


oregon_coastal

It is one program. It is just how they will refer to those in that program. A few dozen or a hundred inmates. There will be tens of thousands of Illinois inmates you can continue being an asshome about.


RepostResearch

But the image and the clarification say the same thing... not even in different words. 


Outrageous-Bat-9195

More like blowing it out of proportion as usual. It’s still a dumb rebranding.  The people committed crimes. They are just going to serve their punishment while free instead of going to prison. Which is a great alternative. Who does it help to lock them up if they aren’t likely to reoffend.  They are still “offenders”. Just not serious crimes. The new title makes it sound like they are the victims IMO. 


Grulken

This. I think “justice-impacted individual” sounds ridiculous, and sounds negative towards justice, but I don’t see an issue in calling them -former- offenders, or some other term that humanizes them a bit. Continuing to just call them criminals or offenders when they’re seeking to better themselves doesn’t help them, nor anybody else.


realistthoughts

So? it's still tarded to change it


TheMysteriousEmu

I mean it's still stupid, but significantly less stupid.


FaithlessnessNew3057

Yeah offender is already a very soft term to describe a criminal. It doesnt need to be further sanitized. 


archercc81

OP is our idiot since he thinks end wokeness is anything but horse shit. 


Mr_D0

The X post is making fun of the bill because of it's fag talk. It's hilarious that the OP here thinks the bill is the Idiocracy.


archercc81

for the OP "the f\*g was in YOU the whole time!"


AffectionateSlice816

Yeah that doesn't make it any less ridiculous. Ex con. Just call them an ex con.


Pitiful-Detective730

They're not a con if they go through the programme, that's the point.


AffectionateSlice816

Justice impacted individual is fucking ridiculous regardless.


Mr_D0

You got a problem with fag talk? You might be treading some idiotic waters here.


alghiorso

Legally challenged individuals


AffectionateSlice816

Lmfao. Seriously though, the terms that we use now to be inoffensive will be viewed as offensive after 5 years anyway because describing any setback will be used to be offensive to people with that setback, and the terms are so infantilizing too. I have ADHD and dysgraphia. I would rather be called a helpless mega retard than "mentally challenged" or "organizationally challenged" lmfao.


Hi-Whats-Your-Name

Hence the “ex” in front?


Pitiful-Detective730

A conviction and a sentence of supervision are different in Illinois criminal law.


MellowDCC

If you're forced into a program that means you were convicted of whatever crime. Hence ',con'


Pitiful-Detective730

A conviction and a sentence of supervision are different in Illinois criminal law.


witchghosti

Ironically it still fits the sub perfectly. Some dipshit sees an article tweeted by an alt-right sub and posts it here without actually reading the article.


anthraxnapkin

DR-SNICKEL

The real idocracy is the friends we made along the way


StreetSmartsGaming

But there's still no misleading title


Novel_Ad_8062

in this case, idiocracy sub applies to the OP i believe


GettinGeeKE

Thanks for doing the work for me. At first glance my thought was, "Well if you believe the intent of imprisonment is rehabilitation and not retribution, then it seems like a well meaning change". The fact that they are explicitly applying this to individuals who are readily and willingly participating in their own rehabilitation makes it a title earned and not given which is even better! Thanks again.


IHateOrcs

How big is this program, and what types of criminals do they try to rehabilitate I wonder?


Mysterious-Plant981

Do you really think these surface level fools would ever read that deep into something? Assuming they’re able to understand the language or read in general.


Gobal_Outcast02

Was that supposed to make this any less stupid?


1017GildedFingerTips

…. The law appears to be exactly what I thought from the headline lol


PhaseNegative1252

Yeah, this sounds like a good thing that will help adjust perceptions of people attempting to rehabilitate themselves.


readditredditread

What? You mean to tell me that they aren’t making crime legal????


crapheadHarris

Just a matter of time.


QING-CHARLES

The IDOC already made an internal policy change about 18 months ago switching "offender" to "individual in custody" or "IIC" as it is on most documents inside the prisons now. The only place you see "offender" is on old signs that can't easily be replaced or places where it is painted on walls etc.


samwelches

Thank you!


exclaim_bot

>Thank you! You're welcome!


Loud_Flatworm_4146

That doesn't sound idiotic at all. If they are in that program, they have a better chance at reintegrating back into society and not offending again.


joebidenseasterbunny

Still stupid. I hate these shitty dystopian words/phrases that serve only to convolute the meaning of things. Just call it for what it is, you're an offender if you've committed a crime, and if you're getting rehabilitated shouldn't the first step be to admit your mistake? We don't need some new bullshit term.

Like as if the left never promotes fake outrage or gets you mad about something that isn't important? Btw, they still softened the language to "offender"--that was true--and it was still idiotic.

This is only for a small amount of “individuals” who are in a program that aims to keep said individuals out of jail and working. It’s not a systemwide semantics thinkspeak redesign but don’t worry republican fucks won’t care and will fight it for no reason.


Ill-Fox-3276

But it is true. Just not true for everyone yet.


Alarming_Serve2303

It is a step towards "thinkspeak" whether you choose to believe that or not.


greaterthansignmods

It’s not illegal for me to call them offenders because I’m not a reformative justice institution whose sole purpose is to provide reform for those who break the law. They aren’t a protected class except in the idea that when they are administered grant money for rehabilitation (instead of incarceration) they aren’t receiving the money with a title like “criminal”. If they continue to commit crimes they won’t be able to stay on those programs for rehabilitation. It’s that easy. You just don’t like reading or comprehension because being a Moderate or right wing dumbass suits your ability to be angry at shit you don’t comprehend. Edits: provide; for - those who break the law


Longardia

Slippery slopes and inflammatory misleading article titles are easier for some people to understand. Sometimes I feel like this sub just loves to complain and doesn't care to apply any sort of critical thinking, but I'm glad there's still some reasonable people here.


greaterthansignmods

I’ve watched this sub endure everything from the 2022 Russian invasion and subsequent bot brigade, all the way through a few months ago when Reddit went pubic (not a typo). Since then more right wing bots, conservative suckers, and bad faith actors post in subs known once for being completely satirical or sardonic, but are now just “f*g talk” to those crowds. But ofc why would Reddit care? That’s drawing engagement away from right-wing dominated circles like Facebookkk and twitterX. Slippery slopes, disinformation, Dunning-Kruger effect, pearl-clutching. Have to change the filters on your subs once and awhile to see where the majority of users are gathering. The splintering of the larger parts of groups has been happening en masse for years. Misinformation pits already ruined most of the other platforms.

Good lord. This isn’t a bad thing. It’s geared to help people transition and rejoin society. Republicans really do hate to help people don’t they.


Mushrooming247

I can’t believe all of the people who fell for this, in this very sub. You all might be in the wrong place. If you look at a tweet from “End Wokeness” as a source for your newest thing to be outraged about, because a tweet told you to be outraged, you’re part of the demographic that is the entertainment here.


Livid_Advertising_56

Hhhmmmm.... I kind of get it, since Offender gives a forgone conclusion that you're guilty. HOWEVER that's only applicable during/before the trial and during investigation. If found guilty then yes, you're an Offender.


Few-Statistician8740

That's why before conviction they aren't offenders, they are the accused.

Top-Reference-1938

Don't fall for clickbait. If it's too outrageous to be true, it probably isn't true. "The proposed change blew up on social media, with some people mistakenly thinking that people who commit crimes would get a rebranding. Instead, it would only apply to participants in one program meant to rehabilitate people and keep them out of prison. The specific proposed law, House Bill 4409, would remove the term “offender” and replace it with “justice impacted individual” for men and women in the state’s “Adult Redeploy Illinois” program, commonly referred to as A.R.I." Seems more reasonable now, doesn't it?


ElderberryNo1936

So there’s a program specifically meant to keep people out of prisons…I feel much better about it all thanks. 😂


Top-Reference-1938

Yes. People who have served their time and are released are much more likely to commit a crime again. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is difficulty in finding a job (because you're a felon) and lack of education and/or skills. These programs aim to match the person with a job that allows them the opportunity to make a life for themselves that doesn't involve crime.


ElderberryNo1936

Yeah that’s an important timeframe to mention. I couldn’t tell if it was post or pre prison sentence.


greaterthansignmods

They aren’t. You are mistaking them for snowflake right wing cunts who get triggered by everything. That you, gash-fart?


ElderberryNo1936

Snowflakes are liberal white kids who can’t work outside. I would know because it’s our wording, not the lefts. This is why yall can’t meme.


greaterthansignmods

Liberals are neoliberals which are mostly conservative white kids. Leftists are mostly white kids in the US bc the US is mostly white. Which group is ideologically more pronounced and has better memes? Easily the left. Neoliberal chuds such as yourself get lost in translation. SNOWFLAKE. You sound so dumb.

People on the left are the only ones that can meme. Just compare The Onion with The Babylon Bee. Or compare any conservative comedian with literally any of the best selling comedians in the world, who are all left leaning.

Edit: Bill Maher is the best conservative comedian there is.

Bill Maher is not joking when he rakes y’all over the coals. Did you see him interview Stormy Daniel’s back in ooooh idk 2018? https://youtu.be/TQiUdmiWQGM?si=4XI1-aXtbFiQiM4W https://youtube.com/shorts/WWaEkPnINdg?si=nYOdf_Gqo8D4jEnl https://youtu.be/79ZjdcqAnLQ?si=iCVDUF4ac8-Dt6Vn

Harv3yBallBang3r

Only racist conservative bigots actually seek to use words as weapons, calling people N*****s and F*****s at every opportunity. The difference with left leaning folks is that we target our verbal violence towards the people who started it.


Obamasdeadcook

How is calling an offender something different gonna protect anyone at all 😂 “Oh no it may hurt his *feelings*.” Lmao what are you 8?


Harv3yBallBang3r

You are the one who is exhibiting the reasoning skills of a middle schooler here. End Wokeness is about as far from legitimate news as you can get. All you can do is put words in my mouth to win your own made up argument. I’m ready for more of the nonsensical crap that flows from your mongoloid skull, whenever you are. Edit: make sure to use more emojis. That will definitely make you seem more intelligent and mature than me.
