Hate influencer Chaya Raichik – who goes by “Libs of TikTok” online – is trying to take her show on the road, and it doesn’t appear to be going well.

Raichik gave a speech yesterday at the Indiana Memorial Union at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, alongside Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN).

During her speech, she ranted about “pornographic” books in schools and moved on to her hatred of everything “woke.”

Some students started laughing.

“Um, do you have a question? Is something funny?” she asked, apparently not expecting people to find her over-the-top concerns funny.

“How do you define wokeness?” someone in the back asked.

Raichik tried to respond: “Wokeness is the destruction of normalicy [sic] and… And… Um… Uh…” More students started laughing.

“… of our lives,” she said, apparently thinking she was finishing a sentence.

      I don’t think it’ll get you looked at funny in public, most places, at least, I really hope so, for half my closet’s sake, right. But it’s definitely become associated with the proud boys and “boogaloo boys”. The boogaloo being a word used to describe a highly racialized civil war, purge, day of the rope, what have you, which is coming any day now, rapture style. I think mostly derived from stuff like the turner diaries. A lot of them end up wearing hawaiian shirts because it goes along with their post-ironic fashwave aesthetic. So, probably don’t wear a hawaiian shirt to your protest, but, you should’ve probably been going in black bloc stuff anyways.

      God damn, I have terminal online brainrot, huh?

        The term “boogaloo” comes from the Internet joke of naming sequels of things like Race War 2: Electric Boogaloo.
