It’s a shame when diverse and vibrant communities aim for monoculture.

Where's the meme about the drone being sent by a female president?

 

[Snake_Baker]

Okay, you will get no argument from me regarding Richard Pusey requiring a light strangle and some focused uppercuts as a means of character adjustment, but I am concerned that such a thing as "outraging public decency" exists on the statute books, when you consider some of the disturbed neurotics in the political system.

If the matter was addressed honestly, then the mainstream media should have been in the box beside him answering this charge, because it could not have become a "public outrage" without their significant contribution.

Not sure if it is this one, but I couldn't quite find the specific one.

More truth than many here can handle.

Don't really see the sensation in this. Surely every demographic has outliers. Not to mention just because your part of one demographic doesn't exclude you from others.
Why should everyone have to fit the stereotype?

Blokes a germ however being morally bankrupt AFAIK has never been a crime?

Not everyone was appreciative of Caitlyn's take on transgender athletes participating in girl sports. It is a disappointing reaction. Fine if you disagree, but shunning someone for a different opinion seems a bit OTT.

You would have to go back to more "puritanical" times, when such things were centered more around race.

Of course, the pigs would scream "UNJUST" if he was given 10 years............because they're more "special" than anyone else.

Dunno about race. Thinking more along the lines of when beach inspectors would measure women's bather hems as a bygone morality practice.

Gender also. Definitely.

We are currently regressing as a "liberal" society. I have no doubt about that.

100 per cent agree here.

So all that crap about Trump was just an act?

Interesting how every day the "argument" runs into the same intellectual brick wall.

I'm accused of being a "wokester" yet it was me who posted that shit about the stupid gay helicopter crew and asked for the meme that K4A posted that apparentley now some around can't handle lol.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Snake its the people you call wokesters pointing out the shallowness of corporate and military woke stuff.

 

[Del191229]

What if right, "woke" doesn't exist as a concept in the way people who crap on about it endlessly think?

Like, that version of it only exists in their own head?

As the tweet I posted above from Jason Wilson points out, what Ted Cruz calls "woke" is actually just the reality of capitalists having to flog their product into diverse markets.

I don’t think transgender athletes should participate in girls sports but I also think Caitlyn is a complete moron. Like a legit idiot.

The problem of an umbrella term that has been bastardised by sheer overuse.

I remember that the Dr. Suess discussion with Tectonic and co., that it is largely an image based exercise and flogging off products as you say. I do think it is more of broader strategy than just angling at diverse markets aimed at being perceived as 'progressive' and in vogue as possible. I honestly believe they have no idea what theoretical aspects they are peddling and I don't think they really care.

In saying that, I was not sure what Gillette's strategy was with some of their past ads, by ragging on 50+% of their customer base, but I am not a marketer, so what would I know. All I know is they soon changed tack shortly afterwards.

There's also the reality that those who were say, advocating for slavery to abolished were considered the wokesters of their day, those who were agitating for women to get the vote were seen as disruptive woke activists etc etc.

I definitely believe that is one dimension of it, but I also think it shares some similarities to the red scare of the 1920s, 1930s and 1950s. My line of reasoning would be the overt adaptation of Marx’s version of conflict theory, who was inspired by Hegel’s conflict of ideas, that guides many current CRT theorists (Di Angelo, etc). So basically, some ‘anti-woke’ (for a lack of a better term) people are very scared of ideas similar to those that have inspired so much death under communism. Therefore, they go over the top, oppose meaningful reform and attack things that they shouldn’t, instead of clearly articulating their opposition to specific theoretical and political ideas that should belong to history alone.
