Woke is a Joke

Didn't Brent take his family to Disney last year and was quite proud of that?

By your metrics the Mafia was #winning for a long time.  Was that a good thing?

 

No but California and New York loosing congressional seats while Texas and Florida are gaining seats IS a good thing.

I’m pretty sure that was before they caved to the woke mob.

If you can address content, fine.

If all you have is poison, that's on you.

Lol. Winsor, who just said that the majority of the human race is irrational, believes it is poisonous to suggest that someone has ever been irrational. 
 

If that isn’t the perfect summation of this thread I don’t know what is.

You misspelled ‘stood up to the fascist mob’.

You can't make this up:

For reasons that escape me, Woke ideology seems committed to impose Fantasyland rules on everyone, in as draconian a fashion as deemed necessary.

Laws (like Sharia) which sanction gays, lesbians et al. are evil, and I avoid places where they are in effect.

A society that opposes freedom of speech is similarly flawed.

I don't give a rat's ass if someone wants to live as a different sex, or if they want to surgically transform into a Labrador Retriever for that matter.  Whatever floats your boat.

I draw the line at being legally required to identify someone as the gender or species with which they 'identify.'  They can do whatever they want, but shouldn't take it personally if someone else doesn't buy into it.

The fact that there is anyone anywhere who does not see the bulk of Woke ideology as being utter nonsense concerns me.

I'm pretty sure that was before my kid came out as trans.

I'm pretty sure that was before my AR-15 was used in a shooting.

I'm pretty sure that was before we found out the fossil fuel industry was lying. 

I'm pretty sure that was before we knew Trump was a crook. 

I'm pretty sure that was before my daughter need an abortion to live.

For crying out loud don’t get so emotional. You’re acting like a girl.

Click on the link, then go to the home page of the site.

Among other noteworthy 'stories', you'll find Tucker Carlson claiming 'they're coming for your guns!!!!' and Alex Jones being "censored".

You're right, the idea that there is any merit to the content is laughable.  

Whoever these guys are:

https://www.eutimes.net/2022/05/norwegian-feminist-faces-3-years-in-prison-over-saying-transgenders-arent-women/

I'm sure they are right wing whackos as well.

That someone could be charged for stating the obvious, or even something debatable, is obviously false.

It is reassuring to note that the Woke crowd is a case study in well balanced and reasonable tolerance.  Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways.

Yeah, that "article" has this fine illustration:

Clearly these problems all started when we were woke enough to allow gay people to have a marital union.

 

Anyways, I don't agree with that particular Norwegian Law and I am sure there are many other laws in Norway I don't agree with. When she is actually charged and there is a trial, maybe your original "article" makes any sense. Until then it is fear mongering aimed at old white men like you, afraid things might change.

 

EtA: the EU Times btw is owned by the wife of a skinhead and she was a proud member of a local neo-Nazi group. But she didn't describe herself as a Hitler lover, just a "white racialist." Interesting that would even come up for you in a google search.......

Hi folks,

And, then there is this:  Burger King’s debuts ‘Pride Whopper’ with two top or bottom buns in Austria - oregonlive.com

Oh, the horror.

Now THAT is going to trigger a lot of snowflakes.  Gayness?  In a CHEESEBURGER?  That's like forcing American Patriots to buy a pink gun.

That is just awesome. I haven't choked down a drive through burger in years but that may change.

Are you some kind of elitist? Does McDs not have an appropriate whine list?

Left Coast elitist, to be precise. And when it comes to sustenance, indeed I do have my druthers. That said, Theresa just informed me that we are eating Burger King tomorrow, so there it is.

As mental illnesses go, Woke is up there with rather a few popular systems of delusion.

I guess people credulous enough to buy the patent nonsense upon which religion is routinely based will believe just about anything.

Peggy Noonan's take on Ches Boudin's recall is insightful:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-boiling-over-of-america-san-fransisco-crime-minority-voters-chesa-boudin-recalled-liberal-democrats-11654810568

She characterizes the Woke/Progressive mindset nicely.

There are tails at either end of any bell curve.

 

Let's stop treating the extreme tails as if they represent normal attitudes.
