Some do, hopefully an increasing number around the world, education is key, key to seeing beyond the dogma of  things like racism, sectarianism, anti science etc. Some people wake up to realities of needing to get along and work together. Its called being "woke". 

 

 

ps. some thoughts on anti woke 

People who use the term “Woke” as a derogatory term tend to hold a pitiable existence, but an increasingly common one. It’s impossible to move for grumpy old men sprinkling ‘woke’, ‘wokeness’, ‘wokeism’ and ‘woke mob’ into every second sentence.

Woke historically meant staying alert to racial prejudice and discrimination although now  the word has been divorced from its original definition and stripped of its meaning, used almost exclusively to mean ‘thing I don’t like’. The only positive is the time it saves - if you see someone using ‘woke’ as a pejorative you instantly know you can disregard everything they say about anything. The Boy Who Cried Woke, essentially.

You see ‘Woke’ provokes a visceral reaction in the kind of lost soul who would traditionally have been a dominant figure in Neighbourhood Watch groups and now posts several times a day on the Nextdoor app about ‘suspicious behaviour’ from local teenagers. The sort of person who spends half their day asking ‘why is everyone so offended by everything?’ and the other half complaining about things that have offended them.

 

Some very serious and important examples of ‘woke’ highlighted by the anti-woke mob.

M&Ms

In January 2022, the Daily Mail proclaimed “M&Ms go woke!”

The reason? In adverts for the confectionery, the green M&M now wears trainers instead of stilettos.

Star Trek

Fox News took aim at the legendary sci-fi series in May 2022 after spinoff Strange New Worlds had the audacity to portray the January 6th US Capitol riots negatively.

The Rolling Stones

Piers Morgan condemned Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in October 2021 for removing Brown Sugar from their setlist. The Meghan obsessor accused them of pandering to a “woke-fuelled narrative” by no longer playing a 50-year-old ditty about a young Black woman being sexually exploited by slave traders.

Fictional busters of ghosts

A December 2021 article on notorious American far-right website Breitbart lamented the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot on account of it supposedly seeking to “infuse woke feminism” into proceedings, apparently because there are female actors in it.

Presumably this was a betrayal of the all-male real-life Ghostbusters, who famously saved New York City from a 112.5ft Marshmallow Man in 1984.

Lewis Hamilton

Jeremy Clarkson, the answer to a question only your uncle’s asking. In recent years, Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton has become vocal in his support for progressive causes, prompting Clarkson to moan in November 2021 that Hamilton had “decided to go woke and right-on”. ‘Know your place and go vroom vroom for me’, basically.

Basically the whole ‘woke’ issue was recently summed up neatly by national treasure Kathy Burke "I love being 'woke'. It's much nicer than being an ignorant f***ing tw*t.”

What a sad tragic self loathing little man,

Sure the fella is capable of replying  for himself but come on, play the ball, not the man. It's a forum for discussion. You are going to get different opinions. Keep it civil or it becomes  playground name calling.

My grandad served in the Boer war. I have a photo of him peering out of the bars of makeshift glasshouse after he  was charged with drunken brawling.. I am not proud that he served in that war. Sorry if that offends, but its the truth. I don't condemn him either. Once he'd signed up he had no choice where he was sent.

I think your misunderstanding my point, nothing to do with the war I just can’t stand sandy, absolutely despise everything the man stands for, hope that’s ok

Think you should have a straightener. Film the showdown, post it on here and we'll all put in a fiver for charity.

I’m afraid history doesn’t agree with you…..normally problems are a result of agendas rather than common sense & honesty……wonder where you fall in all that ?

Offliner, offliner

Sandy as you are a smart chap, sometimes I don’t get your thinking. That could be my understanding or your explanations/posts. 
 

Do you really believe half of the shit you post?

I did honestly see some of what he posted/cut-and-pasted in some remoaner, anti-gammon, ANTI-UK, anti-toxic masculinity, anti-right type article that popped up online written by an unwashed woke gender-fluid lesbian

Go woke go broke

[WILF 50,909]

What I believe lots of these “woke” type folks fail to see is that the extreme right and extreme left can only exist when common sense and honest truths are done away with.

They don’t exist without each other and with freedom of speech, thought and the ability to tell the truth they don’t exist at all.

Its takes loons to defeat loons !…….

See what you started Stiff? You and your sympathising and collaboration with the nips? You should be court  martialled and your buttons ceremonially cut off with a samurai sword. You should be tarred and feathered and a giant white plume shoved up your arse with deep heat as a lube. You should then have to walk back to Cumbria and be forced to watch Sunderland home and away forever.

F****n treacherous jap's eye that you are.
