Time and time again on this forum I see members post threads they moved to South East Asia because their own Country became "woke" . .. and yes I said South East Asia instead of just Thailand, because this forum is about all Asia just not Thailand..

But having mentioned that let's get back to the topic , so they say they moved to South .East Asia because my own country become "woke " ( actually they write Thailand they didnt write SEA but we have already mentioned that so let's get back to my post please !

So I can never understand what they mean , because now many countries in South East Asia are *woke " , one only has to look at Philippines for vlogging which they outlawed recently, but anyway for those who say they moved to Thailand because their own country became "woke ".....please explain

It means that Thailand is a place where you can finally have sex with a thin woman.

As you yourself have.

Disgusting and please don't make assumptions.

Since you admit to pounding a lady boy hard here, to me that’s the exact same thing as if you pounded a thin woman hard.

That attitude, that it’s the same thing, is the definition of woke.

So I guess I’m woke.

But would I say it’s the exact same thing? My best guess is no. Georgie, your thoughts?

But take the test: how do you vote?

We don't have to concern ourselves with what most activists are doing. Most "activists" these days are merely netizens. Getting up off your bum and actually doing something is far different than moaning, groaning and criticizing on social media. For me, that amounts to next to zero, in terms of courage. Being outraged is simply participating in victim culture, and weak PC nonsense, which is degrading society and preformed mostly by weaklings.

Everything sparks debate these days, everything seems to offend the snowflakes, everything seems to cause "netizen outrage".

Who cares, it means nothing, it is less than zero. Outrage is simply a manifestation of weak victim culture.

I don't like anybody dictating to me how I should speak, nor how I should behave. I don't do PC, never have, and never will. You don't like the way I refer to you, that's your issue not mine. You want to be a victim that's on you.

Being a real activist, who makes an honest effort to support a valid cause, is a whole different level of courage and conviction.

Personally, I despise PC. And social justice authoritarianism. I think it represents alot of what is wrong with contemporary culture, and especially America today. It is a major form of weakness, when you allow yourself to be easily offended, and take everything personally. Granted, there are things that can be perceived as offensive, but allowing yourself to be offended by tiny little things people say and do is a bit much! But, the people who are offended daily, by things others say, are just weak, and would benefit by growing thicker skin. Life can be rough and caustic at times, and for those of us who have grown thick skin, it is like water off a ducks back. No big deal, at all. Think what you want to think. It just does not mean anything to those with self esteem, and a sense of who and what they are. Granted, these are just my opinions, and some will take offense to them. LOL. 

The US and the UK are by far the most tolerant countries in the world when it comes to the whole trans, non-binary, amorosexual, decide whatever you want today, if it fits mentality. No other country is as loose, driftless, and as silly as the US.

A lot of so called woke stuff is just politeness and treating people fairly without making assumptions. There was a time when politicians did go a tad overboard to be politically correct but in the main that's gone. So it is often something that isn't happening now .

Or some here don't like certain rules and call them woke. People call Australia woke because they were speeding or drink driving and got caught.

Or they have unpopular opinions such as crapping on about how modern women suck and surprise surprise many were not impressed. They didn't realise it wasn't the opinion so much as they were crude and boring.

I don't understand woke

Strange comment coming from the an Australian.

Albo is the KING of Woke and we have the ABC, full of Wokes

I'm far right

Because I worked in government in a public outreach job in New York City,I have actually met woke people like in the Fox News stereotype.

There is indeed that 1000,000th of a percent of people who are obsessed with identity politics.

And out of those, about one percent areactual racial grifters, almost always with a church connection.

But like women studies majors, they have no power and effect no change.

Conservatives are more likely to have seen a rhinoceros in the wild than a hairy armpitted feminist.

It’s for men with declining testosterone who want to get mad so they can feel a little burst of energy down below.

If you move to the paradise of Thailand and you brought these bad mental health habits with you, I feel bad for you.

If like me, you came for a fresh start, you just tune out the useless, impotent, wholly self induced rage.

My take of it straight out of my head

It is like everyone have equal rights to work, do sports, and then suddenly some few minorities should have extra advantages because they are minorities.

AI definition

“Woke” originally meant being alert to injustice, especially racism and discrimination.

Today, people use it in very different ways:

Supportive use: caring about social fairness, equal treatment, and discrimination.

Critical use: a belief that activism has gone too far, especially when people think some groups are being given special treatment rather than equal treatment.

So the definition you wrote is not the original definition. It is more like a critical opinion about what some people call “woke politics.”

A more neutral way to say your sentence would be:

“Some people use ‘woke’ critically to describe policies or attitudes they believe go beyond equal rights and give unfair advantages to certain minority groups.”
