Why are liberals 'so woke'?

[Anonymous]

I'm a liberal-moderate. I'm queer, pro-choice, pro-gun control, I'm for free healthcare, and I believe in multiple social justice initiatives (lgbt, feminism, etc), etc.. The thing is I genuinely can't relate to any of my peers. I hate when woke politics get brought up in every discussion for no fucking reason. I mean I'm sitting in my college classes and my teachers say things like "I saw this group of men- sorry I mean masc identifying people," "Let's play a game where we all do accents! Except for white people who come from colonizers. The poc here can do any accent they want. Isn't oppression great?" "You can't be racist to white people and they have no culture," "every gender can get a period." I mean I'm just sitting there like are you slow? And then the pride parades just disgust me, I mean it's just naked people running around... I mean it's genuinely fucking disgusting... and I'm queer but I can honestly see why people think we're freaks. And goodness now it's black inclusive pride flags? And don't even get me started on the blm non peaceful riots. But anyways, why do all the liberals I meet seem to be so "woke?" Is it just my generation and the media's control on us? Genuinely people my age think we're in a time equal to slavery it's strange. I mean I seriously think we could lessen the political divide if there were more people who didn't act like total morons in this respect.

As we make necessary and righteous progress on social injustices revolving around race, sex, etc... we are coming to a point where society is, for the most part, evening out in terms of moral uprightness. For narcissistic people who care more about looking virtuous than being virtuous, this is bad news because it means that they will not stand out as the paragon of morality in a country full of depraved people. And so what do they do? They get more extreme.

The woke crowd need to create moral distance (whether fake or real) between themselves and normal folks to feel like they are special; otherwise, no one will notice them. This leads to a number of insidious behaviours that they perform to demonstrate said moral distance. One of these behaviours is transforming their sense of moral superiority into a cudgel, where they publicly criticize others for being less virtuous than they are. Another habit of theirs is creating new social issues that others must support in order to be righteous like them; this tactic allows for them to always lay claim to being one step ahead of the rest of society in terms of their virtuousness. You are seeing this right now with the prescriptions accompanying the transgender movement (e. g., we must call people by their preferred pronouns).

I would advise everyone to give to the "woke" crowd as you call them, exactly what they deserve: disdainful laughter and ridicule.

They bother you for the same reason you bother others.

[OlderAndWiser]

Your generation has absoutely surrendered control to the MSM in hopes of at least establishing an identity and sense of belonging for themselves. I guess they are that alienated and that desperate!

[SmokinAces2000]

“Masc identifying people” “except the white people that come from colonizers” this sounds like a troll post

[Asker]

How lmfao. This is genuinely what I have heard from multiple people.

[Dargil]

Millennials and post Millennials have no purpose of goals. It is a way for them to feel morally superior to others no matter how absurd their ideas are.

[joeldalton]

your politics suck. Wokeism is the natural extension of having to stay relevant to keep power when the original problems they were against are mostly resolved. So they have to get ever increasingly radical.

Because they live and breathe, unlike the right-wing that live in their own little bubble.

You're not moderate, you're a communist.

[Asker]

[BeMuse]

You don’t even know what liberalism is. You’ve never even studied it. You’re pushing authoritarian communist positions and assisting in demoralization of your country.

[BeMuse]

Authority and Liberty are at odds with one another. You can't strip people of their right to protect themselves forcing the decision of if they live or die in the hands of a dictator and force them into purchasing decisions they didn't agree to and still say you are for liberty with a straight face. You are a tyrant. You might bot be as mentally deranged as the rest of your friends, but you are still a tyrant.

[Asker]

First of all, not what I was asking but whatever.


But because I want children to be safe in schools and think that commonfolk shouldn't be shot that makes me a tyrant? Funny enough, I was in a grocery store about 3 years ago when a man pulled a gun out and held it up threatening people. But not wanting that is tyranism, clearly. And let's compare this to abortion and your desire to control women. Free country, my ass. As you say, you can't strip people of their right to liberty & protecting themselves. You don't even know what communism is when they all own guns.

You're sitting there arguing in favor of a "privilege" to kill human-beings and you think that is your "right". You're one sick fuck. There is a difference between a "privilege" and a "right". All Americans have a "right" to life. It's laid out pretty clearly and simply in our declaration of independence.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...”

[BeMuse]

Since you seem to lack an education, unalienable means impossible to take away or give up. It means the “right” to life is incapable of being repudiated or transferred to another. That means your child can not transfer their right to life to you. It is not your decision to make. The “right” to life can not be taken away or denied. That is what a “right” is. A “privilege” is a principle or condition of enjoying special societal advantage as a restricted group of people over another group of people. If your people in your state want to violate the “rights” of children in favor of the privileges of women, then you have to determine that in your own state laws, because whenever any form of government becomes destructive of ones rights, it is the “right” of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government. It’s right there in the declaration of independence. Therefore, the people choose to overturned Roe because it is their “right” and to make that decision in their local governments as is also their right.

10th Amendment

I repeat everyone has a right to life. The people have a right to end government that infringes on their rights. You don’t have a right to take life. You are a blood thirty tyrant. Being such an evil heart person I can easily understand your desire to strip people of their right to bear arms.

2nd Amendment
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

[BeMuse]

The right to bear arms is not a right to shoot up a grocery store indiscriminately. You drawing those comparisons just makes you look like a moron. It is a right to keep and bear arms for ones own protection when tyrants like you try to strip people of their rights. Free people are able to protect themselves. When a third party gets to choose if you live or die, and you have no say in that outcome because you have been disarmed then you are not free. You do not have a right to life. You are at their mercy. You know what that makes you? It makes you property of them. It makes you a slave. Not only do you promote slaughter of innocence, you promote slavery. Those are very tyrannical views.
