Keep providing us with these ridiculous examples of wokeness penetrating culture.
Great work guys.

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?

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.

You can literally go back less than a page to see you listing other posters and ascribing all kinds of views to them

In fact, you’ve just ascribed views to me that I don’t own. But you won’t see the irony of that, because anyone you think is on the other side of politics is worthy of derision, no matter whether you’re right or not.

I’m not ascribing any views to you either, I was trying to see whether you felt it was all the “anti wokes” screeching because you thought it was a genuine non-issue either way, or whether it was because you thought it was a genuine non-issue one way.

The enemy of these people (aka The Aussie battler) is the middle/academic class white left who have infected their political outlet, and turned it for their own purposes. Y'know, privileged, privately schooled, only child types who can "take a year off" to travel around Europe, but couldn't even spell the word "adversity"..............and think they should pontificate to true working class people anyway.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

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

You’re the one resorting to name calling and pseudo-psychology, so you’re not trying particularly hard.

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".

You are assuming again. Funny how I didn’t label tectonic a fraud when he pointed it out. It is almost like you are ascribing a view onto another...

Those programs were long before I was born. Not sure a historical attempt at genocide is relevant to this far, far lower level incident.

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

Unlike you, I didn’t assume your position on it.

I called you out on your childish pseudo-psychology and labelling that you often rely on not to engage with the topic at hand. That’s it.

For example, you just flat out lied about me again for billionth time in this thread. I openly stated my issue was with the “be less of a skin colour” part as it is blatant racism. The forced/mandatory part was never a major issue for me.

All I want is the equal application of what you consider racism and you finally got there.

 

[Snake_Baker]

You're arguing with the privileged.

He's a fraud who has never sweated for a dollar in his life.

they will go to feedlots en route to the grill. we were looking at getting the mobile butcher out to process one but as around $3.30 kilo live weight atm i think we will eat chicken and send em off to pakky.

I fear that the wall is going to take on a very different context the way things are progressing.

 

[Del191229]

Unsure what you mean here about equal application here.

Like, are you saying you want equal life expectancy or outcomes in the justice system as indigenous Australians?

 

[Del191229]

Lol. Just lol.

I've had DAYS where I worked harder than you ever have in your life.

Hard to think of a person who has soaked up more of the taxpayers dollars than you.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

In terms of the standard definition of racism and its application:
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.


For your second point, I think we all want a rise in Aboriginal life expectancy and to obtain better outcomes across all areas, not just justice.

 

[Del191229]

What the fu** would a poncy soft **** like you know about anything like this?

You're a woke echo chamber. That's it. You have never actually LIVED any of the crap you waffle on about.

The closest you have been to an indigenous community is reading a report about it on the internet. You are no authority whatsoever.

You've never been to the US but crap on about their politics endlessly.

Try and get over your obsession with me.

Again mate. That training is bullshit. I don't agree with it.

But you did assume I do in your reply to that tweet I posted.

That's the point of the tweet.

Anyway, Snake is ruining the thread with his bizarre personal vendetta with me so I'm going to have to leave it here.

Happy to continue over PM

In tefs defense I dont think you have the monopoly on his "post appraisals".

Women used to dominate the beer industry – until the witch accusations started pouring in

Today, beer is marketed to men and the industry is run by men. It wasn’t always that way.

This is pretty interesting

Analysis: China has built the world's largest navy. Now what's Beijing going to do with it?

At some point between 2015 and today, China has assembled the world's largest naval force. And now it's working to make it formidable far from its shores.

Explains part of the reason why we have a $289 billion 40 year ship and submarine program.

An interesting bit of history.

The lack of female CEO's thing is found across the board, not just the brewing industry. Definitely still a male-orientated industry.

How do they fuel this armada?

Women do not seek such positions to the extent that men do, so it's relevant.

The problem with the woke politic age is that you're forced to ponder if women appointees deserved the positions, or whether they were acquired by implied victimology (quotas). It's a terrible slight on the women who have earned positions because of their capabilities, and they can largely blame other women for facilitating this.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

How do they fuel this armada?

Iran, South China Sea, Russia (though their relations aren't always great, sometimes even hostile).

Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Angola plus Brazil are the biggest suppliers.

This is why Australia's main role in the event of war (AirSea Battle Strategy) is to blockade the Lombok/Malacca straits and patrol the Indian Ocean to cut off shipping.

As you know, there are a wide plethora of reasons why. Many of them overlap with the reasons for the so-called gender pay gap.

Generally-speaking and on average in this context, women don't work as many hours as men and strive to maintain a healthier life-work balance (in contrast to many career men that don't give two iotas about family). Those two factors make it hard to rise through the ranks to CEO, not to mention career choices. Being a CEO can be bloody hard work and demands extremely long hours that destroy family life, so I don't blame anyone that doesn't want that heavy burden.

I agree. It's complex, but I very much doubt it has anything to do with prejudice in the overwhelming amount of cases.

I think the more fascinating part is the way their appearance was stigmatized by the inquisition.
So many of our traditions are steeped in tales of propaganda lol

As the owner of a big boofhead mastiff and American Bulldogs it amazes me how often people let their little dogs off lead in places where it's not appropriate to do so, and the amount of trouble they cause, including attacking my dogs. Every time you have a crack at the owner you get a "they've never done this before!". Unfortunately my dogs wouldn't get the same luxury if they did the same.

I'd never take it out on the dog as it's their owner's fault but it got to the point where I had to walk my dogs at weird hours of the night to avoid these tools.

I know which dog the council will be coming for if a fight ensued, and it's not the little one.

From the reverse too mate, I have an atagonistic dog and try and walk her at times when most don’t walk the bigger dogs, cross roads, stop and move away etc and the amount of people that bring their dog closer/just wander aimlessly annoy me
But a dog is it’s owners responsibility
