Define "woke"

[Dribble]

WOKE - someone looking to be offended because someone does not agree with their world view.

I am not offended. Why would I be? It isn't me demonstrating my racism or sexism. At least John had the balls to admit his...and I can respect that

 

[adrina]

WOKE - someone looking to be offended because someone does not agree with their world view.

If that's the case then conservatives are some of the most woke people in the world.

 

[adrina]

As a conservative, I don't get offended if someone disagrees with my world view, but they sure aren't going to change it...

Addition to definition - See above (+) someone who is incapable of agreeing to disagree and being polite...

Then you would be an anomaly. Simply going by the content of this forum, the content of the news sources for conservatives and the trajectory of the supported legislation by conservatives I cannot say you would be the norm.

We know we can't change your view. All we do is expect the Constitution to be enforced equally as it clearly states it should. Us pointing out incidences where it is not does not make us woke. It makes us Constitutionalists

 

[adrina]

Again, I have friends with VERY different world views than mine, but I don't write them off because of that; MOST "woke" people would do so...

Again then you are an anomaly. Or a liar. Look at the propaganda. Look at Fox news. Look at oan, newsmax. And even look at this very forum. We have several dedicated long-term members that run around hysterically all day long. Their idea of a good time is owning the libs. This is not rational and frankly you're not functioning in reality or your perception is way off because of your bias.

He is a liar. But the Constitution protects liars. Just not blacks...or women...or gays...or Mexicans. I respect John more than I do him. At least he is up front about his biases

 

[adrina]

When you say YOU, you cannot be referring to me, this is the first, semi-political post I've made...

The post you made was actually rather derogatory in the sense that you implied that liberals are sensitive and triggered because they are woke. That is not very open-minded. Would you care to try to explain how open-minded you are against the first post you made in this thread? It is hard to consider one politically open-minded when one's first political post is an insult.

Note “Lamont’s” join date.

Just another RWCJ alt.

The POS will engage in circular arguments until enough decent people put it on ignore, and then it will create a new alt.

JFC

SAD!!!

 

[Chernosoth]

It was commonly used by people leaving religions and cults. See the ways they were controlled and used, wake up, GTFO. But then many ran straight into the clutches of other controlling organizations.

 

[adrina]

"WOKE - someone looking to be offended because someone does not agree with their world view."

You consider this statement an insult?

What is YOUR definition of woke?

You do. That's the point. You are just disingenuous at this point.

 

[Lazaran]

Here’s a definition of “woke”:

Consciously conscientious.

Hope that ^ helps the confused RWCJ “members”.

RWCJ “members”

 

[Lazaran]

You do. That's the point. You are just disingenuous at this point.

Like most RWCJ “members: “Lamont” opens with an insult, exhibits faux offense / outrage when reasonably / respectfully challenged, then attempts to engage (masturbate) in intellectually dishonest “debate” (masturbation) ad infinitum / nauseam.

JFC

SAD!!!

This is ignorant ascription.

 

[JohnEngelman]

At least you admit your racism and sexism. That's something to be proud of. You value your opinion over equal rights granted by our Constitution. I am proud to be "woke" if that is the definition

How to Disagree, by Paul Graham

If we're all going to be disagreeing more, we should be careful to do it well. What does it mean to disagree well? Most readers can tell the difference between mere name-calling and a carefully reasoned refutation, but I think it would help to put names on the intermediate stages. So here's an attempt at a disagreement hierarchy:

DH0. Name-calling.

This is the lowest form of disagreement, and probably also the most common. We've all seen comments like this:

u r a fag!!!!!!!!!!

But it's important to realize that more articulate name-calling has just as little weight. A comment like

The author is a self-important dilettante.

is really nothing more than a pretentious version of "u r a fag."

http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html

----------

If woke people were confident in the truth of their opinions, like I am, they would not rely in name calling and insults. They would not have tried to get Professor's Arthur Jensen of Berkeley, Richard Herrnstein of Harvard, and J. Philippe Rushton of the University of Western Ontario fired. They would not try to keep people like Charles Murray from speaking.

 

[JohnEngelman]

I am biased in favor of facts that can be documented.

 

[JohnEngelman]

As a conservative, I don't get offended if someone disagrees with my world view, but they sure aren't going to change it...

I am conservative on some social issues, and liberal on economic and environmental issues. I vote Democrat.

My opinions are reasonably stable, but I am always willing to listen to a good argument, and sometimes to a bad argument. Over the years a number of my opinions have changed, as the facts I have learned could no longer sustain them.

 

[JohnEngelman]

You value your opinion over equal rights granted by our Constitution.

How does my opinion conflict with "equal rights granted by our Constitution?"

 

[JohnEngelman]

Arguments over controversial issues should be carried out at the top of Paul Graham's hierarchy of disagreement, not at the bottom.

The resident racist's record is skipping again.

 

[RobDownSouth]

"Just another RWCJ alt."

Have no idea WHO the above is, but I can assure you, I'm not him or her...

Of course you don't, AJ.

 

[schism666]

Of course you don't, AJ.

the extraneous ellipses and victimhood foiled him again.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

WOKE - someone looking to be offended because someone does not agree with their world view.

Yeesh, AJ. You seeding backup alts again, or are your former nicks actually getting zapped?

this new name you're using is kinda lackluster from your former creativity. At least "Vinny Veritas" had some alliteration going for it.

 

[lazy_literotic]

woke is throwing simple minded people red meat.

while they take away money and ss and medicare from them.

aka - die early.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Honestly...I am the alt of no one here...seriously.

The Right's use of "woke" is like their appropriation and use of "shuck and jive".

In their playbook, you don't scrutinize a racist dog whistle - you just blow it.
