Is Ireland becoming a Woke Society? Are people too scared to say anything as it may offend…..
Are we too tolerant and easily lead?
So you’re not anti woke, you’re anti trans?
No it isn’t. You’re being a silly goose.
'Not judging people for their race, gender or sexuality.'
That's the anti-woke position you've outlined.
People who call people woke don't have a clue what they mean either Brian.
It's an undefinable bogey man that can be blamed for all their problems in life.
I didn't get the girl, the job or succeed in life because of woke......
When you talk about woke people, are these people self described as woke or assigned that title by American media and mouth frothing fringe belief lunatics?
As a movement?
👆🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's not a movement it is a conspiracy living in lunatics minds.
That’s a tourist brochure presentation of what “ Woke “ is
its far less benign than that but I won’t put myself in a position where report merchants can run to the beast so I’ll just repeat that Hopefully this era of having to indulge the most ludicrous and contradictory speech policing nonsense , is beginning to die off
To me, there is a difference between normal decent people and “woke” people. The latter are usually a bit thick, with first world problems, with faux compassion for other group identifies. Like someone that tries to explain how trans people operate in a logical way.
Being “woke”, IMO, is about being socially aware and accepting of peoples differences. Not applying rigid standards and respecting people’s rights to be who they are. Not judging people for their race, gender or sexuality. In other words, being a decent human being.
i can’t see anyone wanting that to end. What is “woke” to you?
By “woke nonsense”, what do you actually mean? Because I haven’t a clue what you’re on about.
Hopefully
I do yeah. Most of the nonsense woke people believe in comes from twitter and the fact that traditional media won't speak up against it for fear they'll be cancelled. Read the room, wokeness is absolutely bonkers and it's coming to an end. The tide is turning for sure.
Viscounts are anti woke, they support the patriarchy.
Wagon wheels are woke, the biscuit of the of everyone. Chocolate, check. Mallow, check. Jam, check. Biscuit, check.
I think it's an attempt to divide up LGBT people so they can write hateful things about transgender people. Same for that grotty "think tank". Standard right wing divide and conquer tactics.
I wonder if you can get Woke Biscuits. 😀
Do you mean the LGB Alliance?
The one at 55 Tufton Street where all the other rightwing, and libertarian, lobby groups are based in London?
No worries.
I haven't watched an episode or South Park in more than a decade.
Wokeism can include many varied topics but has been polluted as a movement due to the over focus on trans pro-nouns which has become a lightening rod for ridicule.
The LBG alliance had fought for decades & won public acceptance but the adoption of the trans movement under the same umbrella seems to have been problematic for all.
Society may catch up but the trans right activists should expect the ship to turn no faster than it did for the gay community, as someone who grew up during the Aids crisis of the 80's & followed it through to the equality referendum these societal changes can take generations & impatience will only produce setbacks.
I don't know if you've seen it. I have and that wasn't my take at all.
Does it? Seems like a real stretch there chief. You think only 0.01% of people are woke? That's a smaller proportion of the population than trans people.
If you want to discuss with a mod, you use the PM function, you do not ever do so on thread.
Hold on a second. Reads charter...posters shouldn't be a dick. Which they really were.
I mailed you about your warning with no reply. I am breaking your request as you have not replied and won't, well before this post.
Why are nasty comments allowed here, or is it only mods who can get away with it? Be honest like me. Go on, it's cathartic.
My mistake
I know one person. I really don’t see where the confusion is here. 1 person and 1 person only.
The latest south park episode has its finger on the pulse of how 99.9% of people feel about wokeness.
Thanks for clarifying for all of us who misunderstood at first
my curiosity was that you know so many people who now identify differently to how they were recognised at birth, perhaps you work in an industry where such happenings are more common?
The most common way to express confusion is ridicule, in my experience*. I completely agree with you though, trans people and their doctors know more about this than I do. It costs me nothing to accept that and does no harm, so off I go.
*when I typed this it looked like a quote, is it?
I still haven't gotten my head around it because it's a completely alien concept to me. But I recognize that I don't need to be able to experience, or even relate to, what another person is experiencing to accept that their experience is valid. So when I hear all the trans people saying what it's like, and all the medical professionals agreeing with them, I accept it.
I think for some people, they can't get their heads around the idea so they just assume it's ridiculous.
Yes I am offended, bad joke :(
