If someone uses woke as an insult towards you for wanting equality for people, then that says more about them than you.
Hi Oddball!It was originally a black American term that was swiftly co-opted by middle class European socialists, which is why it's so openly mocked.
Yep. Being respectful and having empathy is somehow not a good thing. It appears to be the opinion of the same group in the USA and here who are always waving christianity in your face as well...work that one out.Being woke means finding things like racism, homophobia and the treatment of migrants deplorable.
Not being woke means being a racist little brexit flag shagging bellend.
First three paragraphs, I get and agree with. Not meaning to be insulting, that last paragraph reads to me like it is from ChatGPT with a virus. Did not understand a word of it.Armando Iannucci on the Guardian website today;
'More and more...leaders are picked, on the basis of belief rather than ability. More and more debates are neutralised into take-it-or-leave-it mantras that aren’t open to question: get Brexit done, the anti-growth coalition, stop the boats. This is a new emotional realm, where, in the words of Michael Gove: “The people of this country have had enough of experts.”
Anyone who rails against this, who shows one iota of an appetite for facts and evidence, is lumped into catch-all categories of opponents: the metropolitan elite, the wokerati, the enemy within. This last one points menacingly at where we are now, 20 years later; in a land where criticism of the government in power is rebadged as treachery. Such are the booby traps that lie hidden in political discourse today; a landscape more littered than ever before with danger and lies.'
Neatly sums up the likes of Foreverfingeringnextdoorscat92 et al, complete ignorance of facts/evidence, constantly spouting word salad sprinkled with crap soundbites they're unable to define or understand.
Not sure what it IS, but I think I'm notSeen it used in here a few times but when I’ve asked nobody can explain to me exactly what it means. Any help to understand would be great thanks.
SAY IT !!!!!!
It's a direct reference to our resident centrist, anti woke, spiritualist, neo pagan, scientific free thinking cat fingerer.First three paragraphs, I get and agree with. Not meaning to be insulting, that last paragraph reads to me like it is from ChatGPT with a virus. Did not understand a word of it.
