Define "woke"

[IrezumiKiss]

This thread makes me wonder what happened to the eleventymillion anti-CRT threads.

I guess when Bud_Spencer died, his minions did too.

Ole Bud Spud did remind us that he was fighting the insidious hordes and forces of CRT every day in his hamlet and would meet up with his state's senator or governor or whatever to discuss further plans of action.

maybe he finally fell at The Wall during one of those glorious battles and has taken his place amongst the pantheon of heroes and other nameless warriors in the halls of Valhalla.

Heh I'd forgotten that putz existed until you said his name.

To be honest, I think even he forgot that he existed.

Perhaps so, but maybe only a cop-out if it is but words, words are easy, easy to say, easy to ignore. For a meaningful response, see my first post on the topic further up the page.

That answer might work if both sides reacted the same way, however that is clearly not the case. If you are not able to discern the differing levels of hostility and vitriol then I have to wonder just how sincere you are.

Why is the idea of considering the well being of other people something to push back against?

they seem equally resentful of people who agree with being against fascism but hey....

Which is why I haven't bothered finding out what it's supposed to mean.

What it’s supposed to mean is properly defined in Webster’s dictionary.

 

[ffish1]

the reason 'gay, queer, trans, Blacks, Mexicans, Muslims' are issues to be spoken about are because they involve REAL people having REAL problems, most frequently due to the discriminatory behaviour of those who feel these people don't matter. If these are issues affecting these people, then they matter...

how come you never put Native Americans or Aboriginals on your endangered list?

oh, oopsie
because they no longer exist.
your fellow Brits. killed them

From that wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke

Among conservatives, woke has come to be used primarily as an insult.[2][26][45] In this pejorative sense, woke means "following an intolerant and moralising ideology".[16] British journalist Steven Poole comments that the term is used to mock "overrighteous liberalism".[46] Romano says that on the American right, "'woke' – like its cousin 'canceled' – bespeaks 'political correctness' gone awry".[2]

I take issue with the use of the term "overrighteous liberalism". In reality, it is any and all liberalism. Additionally conservatives are often outraged at a caricature of the reality.

oh, hi, boebert-thickalike

i was quoting bluesdriver, of course (post 47). is it hard being you today? sooooo attention-needy.

Somebody brings up gay queer trans bathroom issues or Black, Mexican, Muslim, issues

and are you seriously suggesting there are no Native Americans or Aboriginals alive in this world? dayumn. go back to school.

What "movement"? It's a word tossed about,like it has some sort of societal context to it.

Maybe the inappropriate use of a comma is not woke. “Chuckles”

If these are issues affecting these people, then they matter...

More and more families have a member who has come out as gay or trans, have a neighbour being threatened with physical (let alone mental) harm for their religious or political beliefs, friends and workmates who have problems accessing affordable housing or healthcare or able to cast a ballot in an election because of their ethnicity. These are REAL people, real EVERY day people just as much as anyone else is. Remember, these real everyday people are having to deal with those problems AS WELL AS all the others the apparently 'normal, everyday people' are having to deal with. The more people are aware, the better they are able to understand and have some empathy. That seems especially pertinent for republicans who too often lack any real empathy for something so outside their cultural upbringing--until they, themselves, have been affected by it. Then they suddenly 'get it'. In an ideal world, no-one should be suffering persecution and discrimination on any level because of their gender/sex/age/religious affiliation/political beliefs/where in the freakin' world they were born and now live.

when everyone's rights and daily experiences/opportunities are on an equal footing, no-one will feel any need to be discussing any of these things as separate issues to be highlighted.

do politicians use these issues to garner votes? of course, by both sides of the aisles; they exploit them for all manner of reasons, but the base reason is votes. Enough votes, a political party can bring about changers their voters want to see. What matters is people are aware these issues even exist: only then can anything be done to rectify the inequalities. Pretending they don't matter, or even don't exist, is wrong on all levels.

Will you just…*** SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR SANCTIMONIOUS BULLSHIT***

Yes, rightie uses it as a catch-all to refute the argument that it's a catch-all for rightiee

Prime example of why we all tell you that you have a reading comprehension problem.

all you do is type woke nonsense on a porn board.
If you really cared about minorities, you'd spend half of that time, volunteering.

You and LUK must be kissing cousin, something about using *reading for comprehension* as a substitute for your inability to formulate a legit argument. LMFAO

 

[Chobham]

If you take CRT as gospel.......................you may be woke.

Cool. Good thing no one is doing anything like that, Ishtard.

It isn't gospel...just fact. It is ok....we don't need people like you. Gonna be fun watching you try to force your views on us as we walk away.Nothing you can do to change reality. Internet and videos are a great thing

What does that mean? Most people have never even researched or been educated on CRT

Fucking liberals! Do you see what you're doing here? What you always do. Why you always fail. You let these fucking morons define who you are and what you stand for, then whine, complain, and declare your intellectual and moral superiority over them. Pointing out just how fucking stupid Trumpers is redundant. Anyone who is not a Trumper already knows how fucking stupid they are. You're not accomplishing a thing accept stating the obvious.

Always reactionary, always on the defense. Never proactive. Just waiting around for Republicans to pull their next racist or homophobic stunt then spend the rest of the election cycle clutching your pearls and being outraged over their latest bullshit. They define the agenda, parameters of debate and look decisive and in charge. You spend the rest of your time looking weak and defensive, defending yourselves against being woke, killing unborn babies, gay sex training in grade school, and grown men in dresses waving their dick around in front of little girls in the women's public restroom. Then wonder why you lose over and over to these fucking morons.

How about YOU decide what is fucking important and advocate for it relentlessly. Not make half assed proposals that make concessions to conservatives at it's inception, who aren't going to support it anyway, then let the traitors in your party (i.e. Joe Manchin) water it down even further, then watch none of those fuckers vote for it anyway.

You'd think by now you'd figure out kissing conservative ass is a non-starter. Reacting hysterically to their stupid shit doesn't work either. Recognizing and calling them out as the idiots and assholes doesn't get votes, universal health care, or raise the minimum wage. Fiercely advocating for what is needed and not being distracted every time they yell squirrel is what is what works. Not another. "Look how stupid Trumpers are" revelation and think you've accomplished anything more important than another bone dry session of mental masturbation.
