Society/Culture Woke. Can you tell real from parody? - Part 2 -

[the_interloper]

That's woke.

Thanks for getting the thread back on track!

The chinless one looks about 34 and should be employed as a bouncer at a pub in northern England.

He's the little known third Kray twin.

He's the little known third Kray twin.

He wouldn't last one evening doing that sort of work.

Haha, he does look a bit Kray like

Anyone here read Zero Hedge?

The conspiracy board posters love it

What do you read for your news?

What do you read for your news?

The Conspiracy Board.

 

[greyhound punter]

The Conspiracy Board.

Conspiracy theorists are society's alarm system. Sure, they produce a lot of false positives, but they are essential to protect society. You can ignore one theory and embrace another. That is the beauty of it.

Zero Hedge was the first place I saw the idea that covid 19 was accidentally/negligently released from the Wuhan Lab - I remember reading this in March 2020. It is pretty much accepted now that this is where covid originated.

Huh... ?

Nah.

No it isn't.

Melt is another very fluid word on bigfooty

In a more logical and less insane world, I feel that you and I would be strongly opposed on many discussions on policy and legislation.

But in this weaponised-social-media world, where radicalisation and extremism is normalised, we almost always agree.


As much as I like you, I wish we were back to the time of reality, where I'd almost despise for your opposing political views.

 

[CM86]

Are you arguing that language isn't fluid? Even gender is fluid these days, so language being fluid isn't a stretch.

Carringbush2010 has been consistently clear in their response to you.
They understand your point and your position. And they are just explaining how it does your arguments a disservice if you're genuine with your position.


I think CB2010, or someone else, pointed out to you that if you agree that language is intentionally fluid, then you'd have to accept that gendered terms are also fluid.
But I don't think you'd be able to respond to that, so it's fair that you'd avoid it.

What are you counting up to or down to?

Very interesting that grey and gay are almost indecipherable audibly.

Did you mean to point out that you're a gay bound hunter? Hard to imagine this was an accident when you chose your name on an AFL forum that has almost nothing to do with punting (not legal in AFL) greyhounds (animals often abused by men [sexually?]).


Where there's smoke there's fire.
Are you on a watch list?

Can you justify the reasons for your choice in user name, without weasel words or pleas to (((authority)))?

 

[Coolangatta]

Reading the comments section of the change.org petition on this is quite revealing/distressing.

Was going to quote sections from posts but any form of editing would not do justice to their eloquence. This one in particular is destined for the pool room.

There's your first mistake right there, of ANY platform, website, or social media.

 

[greyhound punter]

No it isn't.

My point is that conspiracy theorists originally raised the alarm - were wildly mocked...zero hedge was banned by Twitter for posting the link....now the theory, at the very least, is considered to in play.

I like punting on the dash lickers.

Nothing better than being in a pub, barefoot, watching the greys, and slapping me thigh as the winner rounds the bend.

Rarely drink these days, last big drink up was when The Donald won the election in 2016. Will have a yuugggeee drink up when The Donald wins later this year.

Please actually respond to my post. Stop trying to hide behind fake news and misinformation.

Conspiracy theorists by and large have hyperbolic mind views, sure sometimes their theories are proven true. Most of the time though they're proven incorrect or of pedantry nature.

Looking at this multi,good odds.

There's a moon landing thread where someone occasionally posts 'proof' that the landings were faked, the 'proof' promptly gets debunked by someone, the poster completely ignores the debunking and later returns with more 'proof'. I have no idea if it's some kind of long game parody or what

It's so hard to work out who's serious and who's satirical.

Like the post above yours. Do they think it's genuine? Or are they just trying to be funny?

It's almost impossible to tell anymore with people like that.
How can comedians compete against the MTGs of the world???
