It is odd how so many of the "anti woke" claims made on this thread fall apart under the slightest examination.

GG and his pictures of "Macron's France" in flames that were from Hollande's presidency.

Tef's claims that some maths teacher in one town in the US using a gender example being "worse than Mein Kampf".

K4E posting a tweet that say Coke is "forcing" people then admitting a few tweets later than Coke didn't force anyone to do anything.

That dude from the tweets I posted is bang on about how the anti-woke worldview actually operates.

That is, the vast majority is only in your head, and folks literally have to make up "woke" outrages to get offended about.

Don't forget the absolute devastation wrought by Dr seuss ceasing publication of 6 books out of a catalog of what, 45? 50 books?

You could well say the same about racism hey.

If it didn't exist, no need for courses that Coke didn't make people take.

Or you have an anti-racism course that doesn’t say, “be less of this skin colour”. Not hard.

Lol, fall apart. You have never once engaged in good faith on the issue at any point over the last 2 years. Keep on gaslighting and labelling people instead of engaging with it.

Absolute intellectual fraud.

Don’t know why you bother engaging with him to be honest, shows even less inclination to engage in good faith discussion than Teffy, and that’s saying something.

we really are a bunch of happy little Vegimites, much of the appeal of our board is we are really a bunch of randoms with the lose thread of the NMFC all that keeps us together. Some even claim to know stuff about footy.

Venezuela central bank is introducing new 200k, 500k and 1m Bolivar notes. The 1m Bolivar bank note is equivalent to $0.50 USD currently thanks to hyperinflation.

Will it get to as bad as Zimbabwe when they introduced the 100 trillion dollar banknote in 2009 before the currency crashed entirely and is no longer legal tender.

I was in zim in 06 when they bought out the 100,000 note. Still got a few. Turkish lira hit 1mil round 2000 but prerry much stabilised after that.

I'm trying to here but you just crack the sads like in this post and throw your toys out of the cot.

Offered as in people could click on it or offered as in "this is something you should look at"?
It's an important distinction because people will just see "coca cola forcing their employees to be less white" and that's how we get manufactured outrage

Watch out. You'll get accused of being an intellectual fraud if you point out the FACT that nobody was forced to watch anything.

Also interesting on how white men here are squealing about suggestions there's a movement that they be "less white".

Despite them not issuing a peep about the reality that they live in a country where the people we stole it off were put through various programs to be "less black".

So, if I assume you aren’t biased and are not a hypocrite, you would feel equally as ambivalent about training titled “How to be less black”, provided the training wasn’t compulsory?

I don't think the Coke "how to be less white" training serves any real purpose and is actually corporate woke washing.

It is Coke trying to get us to overlook its shocking behaviour by over compensating on woke stuff.

It shouldn't be there.

So I'd oppose a black version as it were in your example.

But again, your post proves the point of the tweet I posted.

Folks who have decided they are anti woke immediately ascribe all kinds of views onto others.

You did it here. K4E did it too.

Simply ASSUMED my position on this stuff because of your own.

My point is that nobody at Coke was FORCED to take this training.

Folks like K4E post stuff pretending they were them get outraged over a falsehood.

Over summer someone was talking about a Book that is the definitive book on the Middle East politics of the last hundred years.

Does anyone recall the name and author please?

I wasn't part of the conversation, but was it Robert Fisk, the Great War for Civilisation?

I used to work with a fella who fitted this demographic, he used to rebuilding stationary engines as a hobby and was often "influanced" by this and presented himself with a mediteranian olive complextion on occasions. i would imagine his partners job of washing the bed linen would have had its challenges.
