But many people who actually want to do good and who do do good get lumped in with them. Is woke people really something to worry about. If someone is a bit over zealous does it make a bit of difference. Have trans people had any impact on your life. I find it hard to see why people get so passionate about such a minor thing in society. So many other things to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give some examples of such common sense behaviors and attitudes? I think it's just gone radical. Basically, "woke" used to mean knowing things like racism being bad, that everyone should be treated the same, and there were injustices that really needed to be addressed. Now "woke" means pointless virtue-signalling and pandering to the extreme, particularly things that are nonsensical/fake, have the opposite effect that they are intended to, and that ruin some form of art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't an attack word as it isn't used exclusively to attack people. It's mainly used in very legitimate criticism. And of course, people know what it means. You simply want to try to stop people using it as you like the things that it is used to critique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frantick Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Woke example: LGBT Pride/Respect vs LGBT Acceptance. I fall into the latter group. Respect, for me and others I know, is always earned on an individual basis, not a group basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bigoted implicitly pro Putin videos such as featured in this topic and fascist politicians like DeSantis who is obsessed with demonizing LGBT people, especially trans people, and also white washing black history. I think your perception of what is going on with this woke politics thing is horribly DATED. The people being attacked and it's almost all coming from the far right (which is basically the right in the U.S.) as woke do NOT identify as woke. The concept has been completely PERVERTED. Your take may have made more sense some years ago. It doesn't now. Edited July 10, 2023 by Jingthing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) About the proposed village in Russia for escaping right wing Americans. I don't know if this will ever happen but of course from Russia's POV it would be a propaganda win and the Americans would be allowing themselves to be used for that purpose. Russian propaganda and right wing American rhetoric have been nearly identical.

I've not been affected by it due to living in Thailand, but I would not want to be in the West. What's going on in schools over there in the name of wokeness is just sick. Also, France (and other parts of Europe) is pretty much burning to the ground and this is largely due to woke do-gooders making the country vulnerable. The Left are also joining in with these riots, so they support it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
