Woke

Post by Hillman avenger »

I can see what's happening here now.

Anything difficult or complex that we'd rather not address, like climate change , equality, gay rights or salvaging the country from Brexit, gets called "woke" and the discussion then becomes about "wokeness" rather than the content.

Like "fake news" I think as a ploy it has a limited shelf life.

A bit like gammon then. Anyone who disagrees with the opinion of someone on the left, is labelled a gammon. Or a thick cunt.

Woke has fuck all to do with not wanting to address important issues and deflecting, that is just something in the heads of those looking down their noses at others who have a different opinion, something that is rife on this forum.

See the GB News thread for more, including the laughable description from some of what one is. Here are a few of mine. Pretentious, self-important, pompous and artificial.

I don't really know what woke means. As soon as I hear anyone use it, I stop listening. I'm sure there are long-established words already in the widely-used lexicon that mean the same thing. Do we need new ones?

Don;t even begin to ask me what a 'Karen' is either.

It's nothing new. Just a different word.
Both sides do it.
The right use communist and socialist.
The left use racist and gammon.
Etc.

When did offending someone become an offence?

Did some woke cunt pass a new law that I missed?

Ask the gammons. They're the ones who get the most offended.

The content of some of the threads in here tell a different bed wetting story.😄

This one is going to be the charge of the woke brigade for starters. Then there is the Brexit, GB News, etc etc.

Don’t matter if you are left, right or centre, the above applies.
