Spot on. Good post. 

I came across a magazine that was aimed at teens persuading teens to perform sex change surgery.

And the selling point was it would give them "an identity" or sth. 

There are folks out there who are preying on and manipulating vulnerable and confused teens.

 

Come along then please.  Name the magazine.

There's no maybe about it - they certainly feel more comfortable "coming out" now; young people are actively encouraged and incentivized to adopt any "marginalized identity" they can.

 

But the accompanying idea that there was an invisible transgender army back in the 1960s who were pressured socially not to reveal themselves doesn't fly, according to the data. Because parallel to the explosion of people identifying as "transgender" has come a corresponding huge increase in suicide among young people, especially the transgender ones, showing that this is a new and tragic phenomenon which is being promoted by activists and enabled by social media.

I disagree- As societies' have liberalised and first gay people and then trans people have felt more emboldened to be themselves, both groups were met with a very spiteful right-wing backlash.  Hence the rise in suicides for those vulnerable groups in the respective periods.

Nowadays this poison is being touted by politicians and grifters in a far more revolting and prevalent manner than in the 80s.

Woke is feelings over facts

Nonsensical overly emotional hyperbolic rubbish, and ticks the irony box to boot.

To the facts: Is there any independent body that has evidence proving the facts?

 

Yes, and they are already on the ground and preparing the case against Putin as a war criminal.  I'm surprised you haven't seen that in the news.  Not on RT?

By far, not even close. Biden does everything they accuse Trump of doing. There is no more corrupt deep state operative than Biden. Biden's corruption is far more egregious and dangerous to America than any of Trumps achievments as a real estate mogul where he eraned millions. Biden got wealthy while engaged in pay for play schemes as VP. he sold out his country, he's a traitor.

Your links in no way offer any support for your nonsense.  Nice to see another newbie trump troll on the board- welcome.

UK visa rules to be relaxed for foreign construction workers in a bid to plug post-Brexit labour shortages

 

Visa rules will be relaxed to allow more foreign construction workers to come to the UK in a bid to tackle labour shortages in certain industries.

The Government is expected to relax rules for roofers, plumbers, bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers to plug gaps in the construction labour force and boost economic growth.

More knee jerk reaction from this hopeless tory shower.  Get them out.

Conservatives struggle to define "Woke" in any consistent and coherent way.

 

The best definition I've heard so far is that "Whatever I don't like is Woke." Which of course exposes the idiocy of such a concept.

 

Aal moment reinforces the hollowness of ‘woke’ as an attack

 

One of conservative writer Bethany Mandel’s least disputable comments during her appearance on the Hill’s streaming show “Rising” was a prediction she made as she fumbled a reply to host Briahna Joy Gray: “This is going to be one of those moments that goes viral.”

 

Mandel had been asked a seemingly simple question by Gray. She was on the show to promote a book she wrote with another conservative writer, Karol Markowicz, a book that purports to demonstrate how “radicals” are “indoctrinating” young people in America. Mandel began the interview by asserting that there is “sort of a woke reimagining of our society” that is “happening in a lot of different ways” — spurring Gray to eventually ask her what she meant by the term “woke.”

It's an interesting point.  I wonder if any posters here are able to define woke in the way we see it used by the political right.  Their representatives certainly don't.

Well, ok, show us the evidence to the contrary. Ask yourself why the Bidens, his admin etc are not disputing this. And if it's false, show proof!!

Ssh! Finish your Kool-aid and stop bothering the grown ups or no 'pew-pew' time for you tomorrow.
