panoma1 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 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!........

old'un Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yes I did watch it and yes it was refreshing to hear someone not afraid to speak out and tell it how it is……But! The media molds the minds of young and old (well some of the old’uns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 8 minutes ago, ditchman said: is it anything to do with WENKING Best ask the “Gypsy King” about that!

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!

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!

henry d Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 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.
