I want to whine about the West and "woke" generation

[Pravda]

I decided to leave so me and wife hired a lawyer to do the papers for us for Canada.

 

I must admit I am one of those people who really dislikes the so-called "woke" generation, so this morning while browsing the Facebook I woke(no pun intended) up to this. I really feel sick to my stomach and want to cancel the whole procedure and just stay in Thailand.

"Dead" right............ who cares.........it's not like they were real Canadians.

 

More than 200 bodies found at Indigenous school in Canada The remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, have been found buried on the site of what was once Canada's largest Indigenous residential school By The Associated Press May 29, 2021, 1:30 PM

I get how you feel.  Canadians all too often enjoy feeling bad and guilty!  They also really like to be smug and nothing pleases them more than a good, wholesome virtue signal.  So the current sad news about the graves being discovered at the schools suits them to a "T". 

 

I don't think I could ever live there again.

I'm a left leaning person, and take exception to this woke business as well. It's shameless pandering. It's low hanging fruit. It's scoring some quick and easy brownie points, with slogans, selfies, and hashtags that look good in the social media age. #savethisandthat, #standupforwhatever. It doesn't get much done.

 

Let's all be sure to use the correct pronouns, inclusive terminology, make sure we've met all the diversity quotas, tore down those offensive statues, changed the names of those things named after some people, cancel those holidays.

 

Meanwhile, let's just ignore the growing homeless encampments, drug addicted zombies staggering through the streets, the lack of affordable housing, the lack of decent paying jobs, the real problems facing much of the Western world. In fact, that almost seems to be the agenda. Keep making noise about that other stuff, so as to be occupied and distracted.

 

Oh, I'm not going to make rent this month because I couldn't get that raise, and my doorstep's become the neighborhood toilet? No time to worry about that now. I've got to get to that march on City Hall, protesting the horrific lack of Drag Queen Storytime in the public library.

Governments are fermenting wokeism.....anti-wokeism.....cancel culture.........to distract you from the very points you have raised............it is not the left or do-gooders pushing this agenda it is Governments.....trying to divide and conquer

No facebook, no woke, no problem!

If others want to worry about whatever they want to worry about it's their problem. We can ignore those problems of the woke.

I think this is being imported from the USA into Canada and yes, it's absolute poison. The US is going through a sort of ethno-cultural civil war and part of that is dismantling the heritage Americans (i.e. founding stock) and replacing them with a new global population. This means removing statues, demonizing traditions, new holidays and of course racial hatred aimed at various populations of white people.

 

I know similar things are happening in Canada and I even recall the current prime minister stating the Canada is the first "post-national" country.

Lets not turn this in a "Nation bashing" direction please.

Wasn't the USA always a country of immigrants? 

It seems many older immigrants don't like the newer immigrants - at least if they have the wrong skin color.

OP, How do you know that this was written by a 'woke person' and not by a troll that is aiming to get a rise out of people like yourself?

[Kinok Powell]

Unfortunately we can not change history.Every country on earth has done terrible things in the past.The thing is to learn from those mistakes but not beat ourselves up about it.To be as nice as you possibility can to your fellow humans is all you can do.

i have a theory about the Woke Brigade.To start with,none of them know how to laugh and have fun.Most of them have gone through life being <deleted> at sports,dating,and generally having fun with all their mates.That is the reason they have crazy piercings and green hair,are fat and spotty.Just trying to stand out.They have never had a voice up to now but since Social Media they can be heard from their mums attic,where they spend all day on twitter trying to convince the real world that George Floyd was an innocent victim.

In Canada it all starts with that bell-end at the helm,Trudeau..

[Fat is a type of crazy]

How does it affect you ?  I don't like it too but I'd be more concerned about the cold weather. If you go to Canada you can just live your life, beautiful countryside, enjoy the healthcare etc. Free speech means everyone gets a say but you don't have to agree or even look at it. Just because some uni student thinks a thing you can still live the life you want to. Canadians seem pretty cool and they might introduce the odd law that's a tad wokeish but just let it be. 

Most democrats don't believe the ultra woke stuff and I'm sure it's the same in Canada.

This the only Woke I like ...

I think your username says enough about you, that I do not even need to read your post to understand what is contained within.

For anyone who does not understand, look up Enoch Powell.

[StreetCowboy]

I don;t think that people who are distressed by random posts on Facebook are strong enough to live in Canada.  Better to stay somewhere that free speech is more constrained.

I can understand if he feels his own opinions would unacceptable in Canada, I can understand his desire to live somewhere less tolerant.

yes, imo being 'non woke' is akin to being in a moral coma. Our first PM, a alcoholic racist colonist who in collaboration with imported catholic racist religious leaders, decided that the aboriginal Canadians were less than human. Skin too dark, didn't speak french or english, and didn't worship a god created from a league of pedophiles were reasons enough to be ripped from their families and punished for even speaking their own language. To add insult to injury they were also infected with imported diseases, not treated and then buried without ceremony. I understand why the 'non woke' don't want to open their eyes to this..

That entire line about "country of immigrants" is a empty rhetoric

The USA was once a nation that only land owners could vote

The USA was once a nation that burned witches at the stake
The USA was once a nation that killed indigenous people, stole their land, and put people on reservations
The USA was once a nation that it was illegal for a white person to marry a black
The USA was once a nation that in hung cattle rustlers
The USA was once a nation that allowed for the owning and selling of slaves
The USA was once a nation that interned Japanese citizens
The USA was once a nation that had no immigration laws
The USA was once a nation that immigrants could come get free land but support themselves
The USA was once a land that a person received no benefits from the government

I could go on  

The point is that just because something was done in the past does not justify its continuance in the future.  As to the comment regarding immigrant not being welcomed.  I find that blatantly false.  However I and I believe most Americans want "immigration" not "invasion"   A person who enters your home illegally is not an "undocumented guest"  They are a criminal.  A person who crosses the border illegally is not an immigrant they too are a criminal, breaking immigration laws.  The USA and every country should have the right to say who it invites to live in the country, not be subject to whoever wants to enter.  As to skin color I find you are absolutely wrong.  It is not about "skin" it is about "skill"  A person entering a country should have the necessary skills to be self supporting, not expect that the country support them because they lack sufficient skill to maintain themselves.   If you look at the USA the group with the highest educational achievement and highest family income it is not Caucasian but Asian.  Not all groups of people wanting to the USA come with the same likelihood of success.  Less than 2% of true immigrants from Japan are on any sort of public welfare while 46% from Laos do, it isn't a question of color, it is a point of should the USA be the haven for people who wish to enter because living on welfare is infinitely better than the life in their native country.  I certainly believe in a points system based on skill set and rule out any aspect of race.  A black doctor from Nigeria  should be a preferred immigrant versus an unemployed coal miner from Poland.

The "Founding Fathers" were white nationalists. It was a project of the English intended for northern Europeans.

 

 

 

A quote from 1788:

 

With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice, that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country, to one united people; a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established their general Liberty and Independence.

Are you paying attention at all to US politics? The most recent high profile incident:

 

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/yale-says-lecture-fantasy-about-shooting-white-people-antithetical-school-n1269884

 

The federal government is increasingly moving towards the ill-defined "white supremacy" as being a serious domestic terror threat.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/politics/domestic-terror-white-supremacists.html

 

Last week is an ACTUAL racially motivated shooting targeted at white people.

 

https://people.com/crime/man-accused-shooting-five-people-georgia-alabama-allegedly-racially-motivated/

 

Biden admin is getting sued and a judge blocked it, but here's the federal government itself openly discriminating against white people by offer race-based federal aid.

This is what ethno-cultural civil war looks like and it only gets worse from here.

Things happen.  You have to move on and live now for the future, instead of dragging up miseries from the past.  If you want to live in bitter memories of the past, move to Ireland.

The american war of independence was a war of secession, not liberation.  It marked the refusal of the wealthiest landowners in the British Empire to pay taxes to their sovereign state, while still promulgating their war on the residents of the land and relying on imported slave labour for their wealth.

If it were your direct bloodlines that this had happened to I believe you would not feel that way. Especially when these atrocities were well known of ( in certain circles) and hidden from public knowledge for many years. Some **** just can't be excused, and really, you have to question the ethics of those who don't want anyone held accountable - too late for that in this case for this may just the tip of the body count..

True. It's also true that they had no intention of making a multicultural empire like the US has become today.

So what? It's become an intergenerational blood libel with no redemption. Since 2021 the federal government is now directly discriminating based on race (against whites) and has de-facto overruled the civil rights era. This only goes one way and that is violence and eventually apartheid or secession movements.

I’m no great fan of the “woke” generation but they are the least of my concern. I’m more concerned with the autocrats and kleptocrats who have hijacked our democracies in recent years … Trump being the worst.
