Thats the thing, I've never heard anyone refer to themselves as woke in the traditional sense.
I have and constantly hear people complain something is woke.

It's regression, a desire to relive the perceived freedoms of your youth unencumbered by the responsibility of adulthood. The big anti woke guys are all middle aged white guys who I assume would like to see a return to the values of the 1980s in the same way that their parents who'd huff and puff about pc gone mad as they gazed through rose tinted spectacles at the 50s.Where the only people recognising it are the ones rallying against it, but also can't define it?
I don't know if "woke" in the positive sense ever really made it to Australia.Thats the thing, I've never heard anyone refer to themselves as woke in the traditional sense.

It would make sense from her, in the original meaning of the word ( i mean I'm sure Trump disagrees)Not now anyway, i saw a vid of Kamala Harris telling everyone to be "woke", think it was from a while back though
Gee, there's some projection if ever I've seen it.It's regression, a desire to relive the perceived freedoms of your youth unencumbered by the responsibility of adulthood.

This was kind of the topic of conversation we were discussing comedians we liked, obviously the 'you can't make jokes anymore' guy was there.It's regression, a desire to relive the perceived freedoms of your youth unencumbered by the responsibility of adulthood.

It's awlays a negative, which is why I find posts like 'its a new religion" hilarious.I don't know if "woke" in the positive sense ever really made it to Australia.
The 'you can't make those jokes anymore' argument is the laziest one going around. You absolutely can joke about anything if you have the intent and tact correct. Daniel Sloss made a one-hour special about his friend being r*ped by a man he introduced her to. Anthony Jesselnik makes abortion jokes all the time, Jimmy Carr has made holocaust jokes. None of them are on the 'cancellation list' though Carr comes closest.This was kind of the topic of conversation we were discussing comedians we liked, obviously the 'you can't make jokes anymore' guy was there.
I accept that there are jokes that were made in the past that are completely unacceptable now, but so is domestic violence.
So is combating domestic violence woke ?

The only people using it in Australia are those complaining about it. It is more like being anti-woke is the religion while the rest of us are confused as to what exactly we are meant to he scared of

Then you get the fact that Chappelle, Gervais and co. are all making the jokes you're not allowed to make anyway and there are plenty of people chuckling along. They make jokes some people say you shouldn't make anymore and do it anyway with the blessing of a multibillion-dollar company.
I would personally define 'woke' as the promotion of any contemporary: social, pseudo or environmental science for the sake of such promotion's sake while ignoring, or to the detriment of, merit, equality of opportunity or reason.
This is extremely funny coming from a MAGA enthusiastI would personally define 'woke' as the promotion of any contemporary: social, pseudo or environmental science for the sake of such promotion's sake while ignoring, or to the detriment of, merit, equality of opportunity or reason.
How so?
Trump would be 'woke' by your definition (promotion of pseudo science for the sake of such promotion while ignoring merit or reason).How so?
Yes it was a well thought out and robust definition no doubtI meant more like crystals and DEI but go off king.
Ahh, but is there anything you do like that is woke?I think that's unfair, there are plenty of things I don't like that aren't woke.
You don’t get to define the meaning of words that have been in existence for a century or more little boy!I would personally define 'woke' as the promotion of any contemporary: social, pseudo or environmental science for the sake of such promotion's sake while ignoring, or to the detriment of, merit, equality of opportunity or reason.

What word do you give to promotion of Russian propaganda for money to the detriment of reason?I would personally define 'woke' as the promotion of any contemporary: social, pseudo or environmental science for the sake of such promotion's sake while ignoring, or to the detriment of, merit, equality of opportunity or reason.
Fantastic that you champion reason but refuse to look at evidence.Fantasy... conspiracy... delusion maybe?
