Woke!

Recommended Posts

Anyone watch QT last week? Laurence Fox has caused quite a stir, by calling out the “woke”.........his comments are hopefully the start of a kickback against “snowflakes” and the “right on” PC/race/protectionist/vegan/anti this that or the other, extremist zealots which currently pervade society....and who are, like it or not, constantly forcing their personal views on others!.....Packham and his extremist ilk are an example of “woke”.......

Mr Fox appears to be getting a lot of support for the views he is expressing......I confess I find them a breath of fresh air!........

Please explain to a NORMAL 79 yaer old what all this WOKE garbage is about. Yes I read all the stuff on Laurence Fox this morning and he seems to be a right sort of guy.

Woke apparently is derived from an African American slang word for “awake”.........as in someone “woke up” 

These “Woke” people claim to be awake (unlike others!) to racism, sexism, discrimination, inequality, social injustice etc........more like self-righteous virtue signalling! “I’m more politically right on” (I know better) than you!

Pathetic people

I and many people seem to agree Neville.....this could be the start of calling out these snowflakes, who are ruining this country! For too long ordinary people have been oppressed, keeping their mouths shut, and scared to give opinion......for fear of being ripped to pieces by the “woke” politically correct! Bullying zealots!

I see he has had the self-proclaimed 'Woke' Lily Allen having a hypocritical pop at him as well.

Oh! They will all come out of the woodwork now, trying protect their pathetic PC,  “woke” philosophy......from the real thoughts of real people in the real world!

Woke... another BS word invented by the "right on set"

Not quite. It was taken from conspiracy theorists originally (as I remember). They wanted everyone to "wake up" to the gub'nm'nt etc.

Then the lefties on YouTube were all banging on about being awake, woken up, seeing the word for what it really is.

Woke to me was a dig at those who thought they'd got it all figured out because they'd watched a Netflix documentary on pigs. they "Got Woke"

Then they took the term on themselves as some kind of badge of honour!

 

Even Burger King are taking the proverbial with their new meat-less burger advert :D

Way back in the 70-80's Paulo Freire was using the word "conscientization" which has a similar meaning; being aware of the things (both physical and social constraints) that are holding you back from attaining your full potential.

that is sooo me ...........:lol:

Thank you for the explanation. 

I guess i cant be "woke" because i dont follow the lefty doctrine... or because im too old to be bothered. 😁
