Why didnt you just ask for my clarification on "woke"?

I am just trying to understand your position that is all. How can I do that without asking questions ? Should I just say I do not understand and just ask you to try again without asking questions ?

Assuming that you accept that social injustice exits today, then how would you suggest that someone who is aware of such injustice and sincerely cares about this and wants to achieve change go about doing that without being 'woke' as you define it ? I do not understand ?

I can understand why someone who does not want social injustice to be talked about at all but would rather it just be ignored and left to continue might use 'woke' as a pejorative and negative term and call it 'stupid' but that is not my impression / best guess of you personally so I remain confused ? Or maybe I am just wrong in that impression ?

I dont understand what you are talking about either.

I did ask. You gave your definition. What I understood of your definition was along the lines that woke did not mean being aware of and talking about social injustice but means pretending to care about social justice issues and talk about them just to look or feel 'good' when in fact that individual does not really care about such things beyond it making them look or feel good themselves.

If that is a fair understanding of your definition of woke then my question becomes, where in your opinion, is the 'line' on that ? Is anyone and everyone who raises and talks about any social injustice woke ? If it is not just anyone who talks about social injustice that is woke, then could you give me an example of someone who talks about social injustice issues that you do not consider 'woke' using your definition ? How do you 'judge' the sincere (not woke) from the insincere (woke) ?

The line should be drawn when the argument for something moves in to the realm of idiocy.

don’t be a stupid idiot and you should be alright.

:lol:

The line should be drawn when the argument for or against something moves in to the realm of idiocy.

No matter how clever you try to make it sound, don’t be an idiot and you should be alright.

Is that not just saying idiocy is stupid ? Is idiocy something only of those with 'liberal' tendencies are guilty of ? No one on the far right ever makes 'clever sounding' arguments that are in fact idiocy ? What is the word to use for them if woke is the word for when 'liberals' do this ?

[Maximus]

have a think about it and let us know.

[erolz66]

have a think about it and let us know.

do you mean for a equivalent word to your definition of woke that covers 'right' leaning idiocy made to try and sound clever ?

How about 'paphiti' ? Or 'bucket headed' ? As in 'Oh stop being so bucket headed' or 'ignore him he is just being paphiti'.

Have a look at this example erolz

Many would regard this as a “woke” commercial. I would regard it as a human stupidity.

Can you see Some of the many things wrong with this?

Well, i dont ....climb fucking mountains on my bike just because the mountains are there. Stupid plonkers do that, i shall come to it soon...

I feel sorry for you!

Literally, at this point I am wondering how an old man can end up so bitter and twisted.

It’s ok if you can’t due to fitness levels or other medical issues. But to call hiking stupid is literally beyond illogical.

"Wokeness" is a human stupidity of our time. "Woke" poeple try to sound cleverer than they are but they are well out of touch with reality.

The BBC is an example, their programs and news reporting is either, misleading, propaganda and irritates most of the British public.

Many Brits dont want to pay the TV license and want it shut down or go to subscription based fees only.

There is a saying; go woke, go broke.

BBC boss getting grilled for being too "woke" at the expense of tax payers.

How wrong you are !! Im the happiestman alive. Further more I never called " hiking" as stupid. Mountain climbing by mountaineers is what I call stupid.
