Woke
alert to injustice in society, especially racism
So what’s the big deal?

The problem with common sense is not so common [emoji3526][emoji3526]
The big deal is that everyone's interpretation of what is societal justice and racism is different. Depending on their previous life experiences challenges and so on

I would think it would be difficult to confuse social injustice and racism with anything else.
Certainly agree with newbiehunter. "The big deal is that everyone's interpretation of what is societal justice and racism is different." quote
That interpretation certainly depends on the age of the person too.
Perhaps then we should work together to find a mutual definition we could all agree with.
It’s getting more convenient to have all these labels on people. (Sarcasm)
Here's part of the issue If you disagree with someone else you can now label them racist. In fact Trudeau has done this numerous times. It is a very dangerous slippery slope. Personally I can honestly say that in my opinion Trudeau is probably the most racist person that I have ever seen in government and it is very easy to back that up. But it has also been stated by those on the Left that if you are on the Left nothing can be considered racist against you.
WOW!! This is one of the best threads I've seen for a long time. Good job,peeps. Keep up the good work.
I see, instead labeling individuals as being driven by schizophrenia they prefer to label it ‘wokeism.’ At least that’s what your description seems to suggest. A confused state of mine lacking any measure of rationality or compartmental stability.

I'm not sure whether I'm learning something or walking away even more confused ? LMAO !
A great example of woke. https://globalnews.ca/news/8592867/g..._198fLjpI4vD1E
Perfect example of the leftist: Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi-or Aliis si licet, tibi non licet ("to others it is permitted; to you it is not permitted").
When she will start enquiries about the world wide phenomena of :NGOs receiveing countless not accounted for and not taxed money from"not controlled-foreign sources".
Which the NGOs happily -readily and very effectively use to push "their"(foreign )agenda in their own country.Mostly to support government to "their"liking-or to help oust the ones do not "play "along.
And then cry blue murder when some countries say-this is a NO NO.
Open society-eh?
Woke, what one does when they wake up in the morning.
Key word ... ALERT... results virtue signalling but no real attempt to make substantiative change, no real attempt to be fair. The results being ignoring of real issues, selective discrimination and a deliberate attempt to create US vs Them and divide people into categories and groups where discrimination based on race and class is OK based on the "woke" prejudice of the day.
Fuddism and Wokism both show a lack of respect, ethics, empathy and mental integrity and the person in question often suffers..... no enjoys their narcissism and perceived special opinion of themselves.
The big deal is it is discriminatory, racist and delusional and spreads hate based on the "woke" ideals.... essentially a prejudicial mental issue that avoids reality and facts and encourages the " allowed for me but not for thee" as a key corner stone. Think $19 orange juice is horrendous but a $300,000 vacation that included ethics violations is OK IF the offender is the right race or political or social group and you start to get the idea.
So in general a "woke" person will not care about what is right, what is fair, what is ethical and what is true near as much as they will care about being perceived as caring by people that also don't care about the realities and have no concern with what is true or best if it doesn't fit their stance.

Sounds like the occupiers on Parliament Hill, we know best, we are smarter than you and we are going to impose our will on you.
Interesting Gilroy, now are we to assume by your reference to " the to occupiers on Parliament," you're referring to those in the House of Commons. If so you may have a valid point. Since it seems to be they are the only ones determine to impose their will on the rest of us. While those outside of the Parliament Hill are get fed up with them and that is why they are in the street of our nation's capital about them and disturbing the good people of Ottawa.

I figured you would pick up on the occupiers bit LOL. No the occupiers being the truckers and others surrounding Parliament.
I think what I see here is dirty politics, folks did not get their way in the last election, like Republicans and are now trying to take over the government by force. The evidence being all the anti Trudeau signs and locations where this started and who is funding it.
The Conservatives not missing a beat joined on the band wagon with Candice statement "good people on both sides" comment and Trump like tactics to squeeze some political capital out of the situation.
Where were the freedom loving Conservatives in the last election cycle, WAS ONE WORD MENTIONED BY O TOOLE ABOUT FREEDOM?
No I can see this for what it is and so do other voters, Candice in the e mail sent around "wants to put this on Trudeau".
Now if I can see this for what it is you can bet your bottom dollar Justin can to.
So I think the Prime Minister should talk to truckers, BUT REAL TRUCKERS.
Those will be the hard working Asian drivers who are subject to wage theft, abuse, long hours.
The one's who despite these abuses have continued to work without complaint.
That is who he should meet with and resolve the issue's of the real salt of the earth truckers.

A funny little guide to being woke by The Babylon Bee: https://babylonbee.com/news/the-baby...-to-being-woke
Hilarious website.
Yep, "Get woke go Broke". Imagine if you will a business model where patrons (the product) are continuously censored and even jailed for not conforming to a Woke leftist agenda. I hope other forums and platforms are taking notice and don't make the same mistakes.

Meanwhile in other news Rumble ends the quarter with a 24% increase in viewership.
So you were speaking about ‘the current visitor to Parliament Hill,’ as oppose to “the occupiers on Parliament Hill,” Whatever will they do to make them leave? Threaten them with the job of steering us through this pandemic. I can’t imagine the solution they might enact. However, you never know it might not be any worst then current attempts. Plus that would mean they would have to impose their solution on everyone else, so they would be doing the same thing that they are accusing “the current occupiers on Parliament Hill of doing forcing their will upon everybody.

A very concise 6 minute video on the virus of wokeness.
Basically sums up what I've been saying in other threads.

"Today's progressivism has become a faux moral movement hurling charges of racism/bigotry/xenophobia/homophobia/islamophobia and a slew of other meaningless buzzwords at anyone they disagree with....diversity reigns supreme as long as it's not that pesky diversity of thought."
I am flagging this comment as dangerous misinformation. Please report to your nearest commissar immediately for secure destruction of your electronic devices and re-education at the forced labour camp...I mean, center for the greater good of social well being, CGGSW for short.

The occupiers outside Parliament are not the duly elected government and do not believe in science or trying to protect their fellow Canadians. Always the difference Liberals are for the WE and Conservatives the ME. But the Conservatives have no problem taking the benefits of all the social net program's brought in by the WE. LOL
Woke is what we do after a good sleep.
Woke is a buzzword, for sure, but I think it's mostly emblematic of a changing narrative. We are in a transitional time right now, and "woke" is a word to coin that awareness. You can make blanket statements like "Wokeism is the result of a severely confused and morally corrupt mind," but there's fault in thinking "Woke" is an "ism" at all. "Woke" is a breath, a pause, considering how to do/be better, before the next stage. You'll note too, that it's based on a person's frame of mind, not a sweeping movement.
To quote Ferris Bueller: "A person should not believe in an "ism", he should believe in himself."
Gad Saad is great on this topic. Don't worry everyone he's a liberal atheist so that should delay the cannibalization for at least a few moments ;)

Between my family and my brothers and sister and their families and our work places so about 5000 people minimum nothing. But heck Math doesn't mean anything.
But your fake imfo is kinda cool the fact you keep trying to find more fake data
I'm surprised the woke mob isn't calling to cancel Bono and Bob Geldoff for taking a photo with Putin.
Time to burn all of your U2 & Boomtown Rats albums ;)

Lol
Since conflict escalations happen around Olympics, I am kinda surprised that they don't call for Olympics cancellation
its just seems to very rational from woke mentality prospective:
Competitive spirit in sports awakens toxic masculinity and institutional oppressive colonialism resulting in issues in region

I think it was Bill Maher who defined "wokism" as fascism in it's purest form.
