Is Ireland becoming a Woke Society? Are people too scared to say anything as it may offend…..
Are we too tolerant and easily lead?
"Neo Marxist" completes my right-wing bullshit bingo card - cheers!
Identity Politics: A tendency for people of a particular religion, ethnic group, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances .
You can be left wing and not be woke however wokeness is pretty much exclusively associated with left wing politics.
Some left wingers are woke
Not all left wingers are woke.
Fairly easy to understand.
Usual bullcrap debating from you, you talk a load of nonsense thinking you're real clever and then run when someone doesn't agree with you.
So, you can't define that either. Not sure why people get hysterical when asked to define something. If it's upsetting you this much, let's leave it there.
That's like something Malcolm Gladwell would come up with. It's fine at the individual level but saying to people in disadvantages areas like Sheriff Street, just try harder, is very superficial and meaningless on a socioeconomic level.
Everyone with half a brain these days knows what identity politics is.
If someone uses the word dog in a post do they have to define the word dog in order to keep you happy?
You literally gave two mutually exclusive definitions for the same word. It's there in black and white.
I see no point in continuing this. I'm almost speechless. Rancor about something nobody can define.
Are you sure about that, quite a judgment to make based on zero evidence.
I don't know, anti wokers don't read fiction or something! It was a comment about avid readers. I'm sure one or two anti wokers in the world read fiction.
Tough crowd.
It's not the same as left wing.You can be a left winger and not be woke.
Woke refers to far left wing types who are obsessed with identity politics.Lots of people who are left wingers are not obsessed with identity politics.
I'd ask for a definition of identity politics but since we can't get one for woke, it'd be futile.
Far left wings types who are completely obsessed with identity politics.
Normal traditional left wingers who want to hep the working classes are needed, people who are completely obsessed with identity politics are really not needed, I'd argue it's quite regressive to constantly reduce people down to their gender, race, ethnicity and praise people and groups purely because of their ethnicity and demonize others and ignore them for the same reason.
Eh, I just put out an observation that research suggests people who are big readers of fiction tend to be more empathetic.
Then you go on about people and feelings despite me actually using a research paper! Sorry if the research hurt your feelings.
Jaysus, can't mention research anymore without the anti woke crowd getting all emotional.
So, woke is not the same as left wing by your logic but also by your logic, woke is not left wing.
There's something deranged in getting upset about a word you can't even define logically.
Not really.They're not left wingers.Woke refers to left wingers.
The exact same as Nazis, Trumpanzees, climate deniers, Brexit voters, anti-vaxxers and the other right wing cultural refuse.
When has a grievance turned into genocide?
Thats not a rule that its progress by nature, a grievance can turn into genocide, I wouldnt call it progress, it would be in the "too far" camp
This is a ridiculous comparison.
Now, travellers need to take more responsibility for solving their own problems but this is not a direct comparison at all.
Some things morph over time. That’s called progress.
You can’t start criticism something that never existed and support that. “Wokism” is little more that a strawman set up to burn by conservatives. Like political correctness before it, but easier to spell.
Why shouldn’t we undermine traditional norms? Up until recently traditional norms were horrendous.
Are you ready to define “woke” as “neo Marxism” now? If you are you need to lay off the Jordan Peterson YouTube channel.
Who are “the woke”, in your opinion?
I identify as woke and am definitely a social progressive
the earlier point was about how the media and other left wing activists instill a victimhood status on travellers, no reason why Poles thrive and travellers do not
Sounds like you're the one who has a negative image of travelers, why would you automatically assume other people have a negative image of travelers if you don't have one yourself?
No, more like modern looney lefties completely obsessed with identity politics.
The fantastic thing about Woke is that it actually can mean anything.
So that then is how you approach travellers, point made.
Care to elaborate? There's a trend here for people throwing around grand (and not so grand) words without much meaning or context.
I have a negative image of what a Kinehan cartel member is also
cause and effect
It’s a Neo Marxist creature in many ways and is boundlessly creative in undermining traditional norms and understandings
