Are you 'Woke'?

[supercutebutt]

Are you? VOTE!

I am woke

I am asleep

I am a little of both

[lightbulb27]

I'm awoken that we have problems with how people are being trained, and it could cause big shifts in society that are both good, and bad.

I'm sort of awake to be honest. I recognize the "evils" projected upon the less powerful and strong, but I see good that came from it in the end. I see how some of those "natives" and poor Africans and such, were really not any different than anyone else at the time, or maybe even far worse in their butchery and enslavement. But the woke apparently don't see that.

So I consider myself awake, but not woke.

Now sleepy Joe, he's fully a sleep woke. After all... we all know the truth that a male bodied athelete should be able to change their clothes in the womens dressing room, since they are competing agains those women and believe they themselves, are a woman... even though there is a male appendage hanging there. But our current leaders think that is "right"

https://gazette.com/news/us-world/riley-gaines-calls-for-separate-locker-rooms-after-seeing-lia-thomass-male-genitalia/article_44c6b3b5-9b6a-5167-8f9b-595b69fcefcd.html

It is black history month, I'm reading about that and expending energy learning about the history over the year. But I don't take up the victimhood mentality, so I can't be defined as woke. There's differing views, maybe they require more empathy to resolve.

Lastly, it's a bit concerning people come to this country, to our top universities, and tell us we are really screwed up.

This should wake up some wokers!

https://www.youtube.com/embed/ehXdsxRlMuE

But I doubt they can because of the big "FOX" label and how they were conditioned in the mind prison they were forced into... aka public schooling.

[inhua]

not in the liberal sense of woke which is just fake virtue signaling. to be truly woke is to embrace the black-pill. to see through the agenda of the fake woke. people now hiding behind social justice to justify their dirty deeds and bad behavior.

the fake woke currently have control of the narrative and enjoy hiding a lot of the truth from the public. telling the whole world that people need to favor their feelings over facts, that there's no such thing as individual racism, only systemic racism and that the patriarchy keeps women down even though men overwhelmingly suffer more from it whereas the patriarchy actually benefits women in so many things. and then there's the whole climate change debacle of "the world's gonna end in 2050"

[AmandaYVR]

I used to be politically and socially progressive. But I can no longer support every hairbrain idea that gets thrown into society. There are too many extremists now. I'm pushing back on some of it now. There are limits. I was always a very independent thinker, not one to fall into groups, and groupthink. I haven't felt pressure to be on any 'side.' And I am now a centrist, with no particular leaning either way. Unfortunately, everything has to be a case-by-case basis, individually assessed; which is laborious and exhausting at times. But that's the way it has to be.

[supercutebutt]

Being moderate is the way to go. These days, people are attracted to cults.

[holdem4884]

I applaud and support your statement. It is laborious and exhausting to think for yourself and see through the lies constantly being tossed about. Few seem to be willing or capable of recognizing the complexity, nuance, and fundamentally grey nature of most political issues. Culturally and morally I lean conservative but I'm economically and intellectually progressive.

The left has gone too far with political correctness and pushing LGBTQ, it's in no way the modern equivalent of the Civil Rights movement. This is a problem.

The right has simply gone completely insane. Authoritarianism has gone mainstream with elements of crypto-fascism. There doesn't seem to be a conspiracy theory these people don't believe, they've jettisoned science, reason, evidence, rational argumentation, and logical coherence. These people are truly an existential threat to a free society. I'm cannot be neutral on this. Just as I wouldn't have been neutral when the Nazis were first rising to power in the late 1920's, they didn't start exterminating Jews until 1941. Fascism creeps until it subsumes and it's too late.

We need a new movement, an alternative political philosophy and party.

[DizzyDesii]

Idc about the political shit. As long as you believe in the opposite of others you will be deemed either racist or woke. Some people forget there's a middle ground of people that really dont care to pick a side

[supercutebutt]

So u r a little of both?

[DizzyDesii]

I’m simply me and believe in what I Believe. I choose not to classify as either. Not every democrat is woke. Not every conservative is Christian. And vice versa

[bean2k21]

Yes, God woke me up and told me I was born to be your Master and that rebelling and trying to prove your self worth will only make you more of a slave. Therefore, you should follow my three commandments if you hope to find salvation and entry into my divine orgasmosphere: 1) Call me 'sir' or 'master' 2) As permission to pleasure yourself 3) Think of me when you reach a climactic moment. In so doing, you will please not only me but but also the entire universe by knowing your rightful place.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Ha..

[Randalama]

Under the current definition, as far as I understand it, then no. In fact I think it is safe to say that I am antiwoke. Otherwise known as deplorable. It's a difficult question though. I took the shotx2 but argued against mandatory. Curfews were simply not recognized. According to my federal government this makes me a white supremacist. I like jobs. I like sovereignty and I even spelled sovereignty without spellcheck which makes me official? I'm tired of the pall of woke that has descended upon our society. The chill, the silence. Mother nature gives me that and I simply require more from my brothers and sisters. Give me some, especially if you think I won't like it.

[Blondeguy666]

I think this garbage is idiotic and both sides of the political false dichotomy are a bunch of grifters at the top working cohesively to keep all their subjugates too busy infighting to bother looking outside of the artifices they've been programmed to perceive as reality.

[DaveJord]

I totally woke up, had a cup of coffee and went back to sleep.

All things are good in moderation, but it's going too far for me. If you empower it, then it starts to cross lines and then whose there to protect your interest when they are constantly the loudest voices in the room at all times with the platform you gave them.

[ChefPapiChulo]

worddd saladdd

[DaveJord]

@ChefPapiChulo You bring the dressing!

[LonelyAndBig]

"Wokeism" is incredibly toxic. "CRT" is divisive and prejudice to me. It is not progressive; it is regressive. Teaching others to have a victim mentality and persecuting others based on race. Flaunting transgenderism in other's faces. It is sick and disgusting and unAmerican.

[LonelyAndBig]

... just to add too, I had to undergo CRT training in one of my workplaces and I actually spoke up in opposition to its bullshit.

[LonelyAndBig]

Why does mental illness, disability, and incelism never gain the spotlight for the whole social justice movement? I struggle with all three, and I am often disadvantaged and mistreated.

[holdem4884]

Ah, so your in favor of social justice for yourself, just not anyone else? CRT is a college level course, it's not being taught at your workplace. Whatever they did, sensitivity training?, was something else?

[DarkLegacy]

Totally with you mate. The woke brigade are only interested in fashion equality and following what the media say. Plus they usually discriminate based upon the above aforementioned.

[bolverk]

Not even remotely, I judge people on their own merit, not by all the 'differences' that the 'Woke' seem to think are so important, and if the 'Woke' don't like that then they can take a long walk of a short pier.

The 'Woke' will sacrifice anyone/anything they 'feel' will be a obstacle to their goals irrespective of the damage they cause to society as they do it.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I don't fall on either side of lunacy scale in today's politics. People have lost their fucking minds, all in the name of being right and following whatever new ideology their side tells them to

[loveslongnails]

I hope so,, since the alternative is what - right wing Republican? LOL

[Tomisworthless]

Better than being a stupid left wing Democrat

[supercutebutt]

@Tomisworthless Hopefully you vote Republican because you are obscenely wealthy and you get fat tax breaks. No other reason to... well, unless you aren't concerned about planet Earth or u like watching mass shooting on TV for entertainment.

[Tomisworthless]

I do and thanks bunches

[lightbulb27]

fyi... most republicans I know pay a lot of taxes, they work and they pay... they have families and discipline their kids to be successful. you have a false view of these people.

[supercutebutt]

@lightbulb27 All citizens pay taxes. Republicans are the ones who bitch about it. Tax dollars pay for roads and schools and police and military, etc. Republicans should stop paying taxes if they hate that stuff. But then they have to move into the woods or to Russia. :)

[lightbulb27]

We just don't like too much taxes, and we don't like govt control over so much because it corrupts. how about if we leave USA to republicans and and democrats move to Europe, which better aligns with their thinking of "tax" us so that govt and redistribute?
Inflation is paying for most of this stuff... and that's why people can't afford what they used to. Taxes are pocket change.

[Tomisworthless]

@lightbulb27 taxes are wasted on stupid programs that’s why people hate taxes. And liberals love to use the government to pursue their desires then after 20yrs or so pass by they try to use the same government to remedy their past mistakes.

Like for eg why do you think college tuition is so high and leaves people with massive debt? Government. Now the solution to fix their problem is to bail out a certain amount of debt. If college was funded solely by individuals attending then prices would be reasonable and minimal / manageable debt. But gov has over inflated this bubble

[lightbulb27]

@Tomisworthless I agree. there's some value to govt, but minimal. And the "inflation" is intentional... as I recall under Obama admin especially used medical and education sections of economy to re-inflate, but it goes on every year. When has costs of those ever gone down in a correction?

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless " The right wing now is insane, led by idiots like McCarthy, MGT, Jordan and the Governors of states like TN, TX, AK, who will eliminate any freedom they don't think you should have, and total fascists like DeSantis, who's actually worse than Trump. If you can't see what they're doing, you're a fucking idiot. Fortunately, there are those who know what they're up to, and we won't allow it, EVEN when you champion it. God, you right wing nuts are so stupid. Maybe a Jewish laser will help straighten you out.

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 Most of the PEOPLE I know pay a lot of taxes, but that's not the point of this question, is it? This is about being "woke", a term the Republicans have turned into something evil when it isn't. If you're "a - woke", it means you acknowledge there's a shit ton of injustice, brutality, corruption, and policies designed to keep you on a treadmill, and you want to do something about it. That's ALL it means. And what the hell is wrong with that? Nothing, but the R's have done what they ALWAYS do - demonize ANYTHING that frightens them, including BOOKS. Fucking idiots.

[lightbulb27]

Fair enough, talking about definition and what motivated "wokeness" is the better start to the discussion. There's truths in most everything, and untruths.
Oddly, there's no talk of the injustice to white people... the ones enslaved by Africans in 1700's, ones enslaved by white people, the mongol invasions of Europe, butchery of Indian tripes, and demonizing white people and police today. There is no "balanced" view.
One underlying motive of woke are the reality of being indebted to the system right? haha.. were on teh same side now! finally!

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 Seriously dude, we're talking about what happened in AMERICA... the good old US of A. Your deflection is irrelevant to this topic, but you ARE missing the point entirely, and here's why:

YOU and the Conservative right view recognizing HISTORY for what is was as "demonizing"! Huh? All ANYONE is asking is "can you recognize that we as a people, and government, fucked up... and in many ways still do, so lets talk about how to fix it! THAT to you, is demonizing. NO it isn't, it's saying recognize what the fuck really happened. And if you can't do that, or won't do that, what does that say about you?

The sad thing is even though one race enslaved another, the situation now is that both races are economically enslaved by the wealthy. The irony is that white folks don't want to believe that either, any more than they want to acknowledge what REALLY happened in history.

[lightbulb27]

It's fair to talk about history and all that happened, apparently that's part of woke... as long as it's a fair representation. I get the sense though from how people react, it is not and an emotional reaction.
One race didn't enslave another... false... But I agree the slavery and unfairness impacted African/americans much more... and Indians lands were taken, etc... The mongolians invaded Italy... maybe I'll go visit and try to collect ... they terrorized my ancestors.
yes we are all enslaved, that's the govt plan... and the more you enable govt, the more enslaved we become. It's gotten far worse since some people created the fed and moved us off the gold standard. And we've fallen by way of crony capitalism to have filthy rich people. Not sure what to do about that...
We're all sinking in the same boat, and just seeing things different. some are doing very well, but we're losing more and more people. history repeating. Ray Dalio has a lot of thoughts on these topics and is likely somewhat left. I'm not sure if he or other rich people are woke though... like Jamie Dimon.
Nothing will ever be solved on GAG, that I guarantee... it's a horrific platform to achieve any social progress or communication.

[supercutebutt]

@lightbulb27 History is "woke" now. LOL!

[lightbulb27]

It seems the same process no matter the country or time... always ends in chaos...

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 Obviously the entire white race didn't enslave the entire black race. And blacks in Africa sold their own people into slavery too, but you keep looking for a way around the obvious and calling for a "fair representation". The subject here is "woke-ness" as it is being pushed here in the USA by fascists like Ron DeSantis, not what the Mongolians did, or the Egyptians did, or the Turks did.

Here's the point: to the victors go the spoils, is what DeSantis is trying to say, in essence. And to DO that, any question of "was that the right thing to do" to indigenous people, or to blacks, or to Japanese in WWII. DeSantis, and many Republicans, want to shut down all discussions of anything in history that makes our old "white government" look bad. Then they want to remove books that talk about it.

That my friend, is fascism, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and any other horror show you want to add to it. It can not be tolerated in a Democracy. And whether I believe we're all sinking in the same boat or not, i. e., subject to the control of the wealthy, their goal has never wavered throughout history - keep people poor and uneducated, then you can control them.

That's what this whole "anti-woke" bullshit is about, so one hole in the boat at a time please, and one more fascist fuckhead who needs to go down, like DeSantis.

[lightbulb27]

We'll said. I just don't see DeSantis in that light.
ah..."the knowledge of good and evil"... the Bible remains correct.
I'll keep my eyes open, there's two sides to everything.
I guess the real question becomes... what is the goal of woke... where did it come from and what trying to achieve? Fairness, reparations, rebalancing the wealth? These uprisings have occurred before many times, different countries. Maybe there's a reason the republicans like to be armed...
Anyone can go to libraries and read, watch videos. Have the public debates...

Woke has to be more than about complaining about the past injustices... it would seem it's about justifying re-payment and rebalancing.

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 " I just don't see DeSantis in that light." - Then you're not looking at him with your eyes open, yet. He's already done enough.

I really, really loathe the term "woke", but the ironic thing is, those who use it as a derogatory term are saying out loud "I'm too stupid to understand anything complex and if it happened in the past, I didn't do it, so I don't care." That's their mentality. But what happened in the past is still happening in the present.

So "being aware and wanting to talk about how to fix shit" is essentially what being "woke" is about. It's not about reparations. It's not about suddenly redistributing wealth, which is another thing the right wing nuts like to say it is (Communism). It's about having a "fucking conversation" that's long overdo, and actually DOING something about it.

It's NOT just about complaining about the past - but you have to understand, the right doesn't even acknowledge "the past " all the time. If they do, their response "that was then, this is now", to which any "woke" person responds - "And what's changed? What's different? Nothing, so let's have a discussion and finally DO something about it."

But doing something about it means challenging white supremacy and white privilege in the USA, and the way to stop that, is fascism It's NOT about re-payment, it's about ending inequality in a so-called democracy.

[Tomisworthless]

CRT was a theory taught in universities but is now trying to be pushed and watered down for grade schoolers. The very premise is racist as it teaches that one must view everything through the lens of race in America. Democrats are walking contradictions. They claim to be opposed to racism yet they literally use racism. Their justification is that it can’t be racism because they are anything but white. Well eventually in about 20-40yrs that position wouldn’t work since the Lefts porous border policy is seeking to replace whites with foreign nationals. This would then cause the supposed white supremacist whites to be the minority oppressed class , but the conditioning to hate and oppress them has already begun so when that day comes the future generations will be ok with such behaviors as being normal

[lightbulb27]

That's a much better foundation from which to have conversation, you are to be commended for your more clear articulation. Maybe you should have a show about these topics than some of these other biased junk media shows.
It's a worthy perspective, I understand how trauma and conditioning impacts perspective...(and beliefs), makes sense the past reflects into the present.
Oh I'm just saying whether it's the French revolution or Hutu's and Tutsi's, seems some common patterns. When people are so poor they can't survive, that's when there is an uproar. Govt's job is to control that mess, and that's what we've got "frothing". I fear... the ukraine war exasperates that globally, not unlike the Arab spring. Can happen in USA, but we have a big printing press to pacify to some extent... for now.
I suspect that these issues of supremacy and inequality are different to different groups. I just don't get it, but people I respect do. I was in the same school as "black kids". They had the same chances... some made bad choices others good. Difference in my view... parents! So lets fix the parents, and I loop back to the "right" voices that call for the same as a solution. So, I'm not getting the other viewpoint... that is looking back instead of forward. My immigrant family same... came here with nothing, now well off. They looked forward.
But I'll try to keep an open mind on the topic...

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless Fact check:
* "CRT was a theory taught in universities" ---- Not was, still is.
* " but is now trying to be pushed and watered down for grade schoolers." Nonsense. You right wing nuts have used this to try and eliminate ANY discussion of "that critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society."
You and your censors are suddenly too afraid to TALK about historical events or even DISCUSS that " well, there Maaayyyyyyyyy have been a little bias going on". It terrifies you, so you get the Rufo's of the world to demonize it, spread fear and politicize a purely academic discussion. You're afraid of what's already happened! LOL Pathetic.

* The very premise is racist - (bullshit) - as it teaches that one must view everything through the lens of race in America" . Hey wake up - the entire premise IS about WHAT WENT ON in America, and still does! IT's ABOUT AMERICA you dolt! DUH. It's about how it may have affected legal institutions, law and society as a whole, IN AMERICA ! Not in England, or India, or Spain. In America. DUH again.

Fascinating statement here: " the conditioning to hate and oppress (them... who you claim to be whites) has already begun so when that day comes the future generations will be ok with such behaviors as being normal "

Funny, it's the right wing nuts who are doing EXACTLY THAT right now - shit for brains like MTG, who is trying to make insanity the new normal, and you're a convert. Every time I read one of your posts, you sound more and more like Adolf pounding the podium.

[lightbulb27]

Curious, does "wokeness" apply to Indian immigrants, chinese immigrants, japanese, and others... that are being very successful, if not economically, taking over power? Does it apply to African immigrants and African Americans's that are very successful and living successful lives, and as safe as anyone else? Or does it only apply to those that are... faltering?
I can't figure it out... it seems to be like "the system" is garbage, but if you have parents and at least some tenacity and resources available, you can get to amazing heights in our country vs others... that's why people come here. Maybe the barriers are too great in some areas.
My problem is... I only really see success around me... so I don't know the reality of the oppressed so much. When I find failure, it's parents. When I find success... they aren't usually into "wokeism". So I'm at a loss...

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 I really think you're comparing apples and oranges here. It doesn't matter how successful you are, or what race you are, or if you've immigrated or not. This is a discussion about injustices that took place, continue to, and to ask "what can be done to stop them". But you have to be allowed to ask the question first, and then accept that it's happened and still is (which is the easy part), and then talk. Why do you keep circling around this?

Success has nothing to do with it, and you have chosen to proclaim, in essence, that "successful people (read: powerful people) don't CARE about anything that might be unjust, especially if it doesn't directly affect them.

And that my friend, is EXACTLY the problem. Now you've got it.

[supercutebutt]

@lightbulb27 Woke is a boogeyman. It was turned upside-down and repackaged to scare FOX News viewers.

[lightbulb27]

fair enough. Prove it in a "mytake".

[lightbulb27]

I mean demonstrate how it is "sound", not how Fox spins it.

[Tomisworthless]

What sort of fact check was that lmao, you commies ignore the obvious until your msm and leaders tell you what’s next.

CRT is still in universities never said it wasn’t I’m referring to how it’s no longer just in universities as it has been used as teaching mechanism for the vast public.

[Tomisworthless]

Also there is no such thing as institutional racism because no policies are created to specifically targeted various races. Only racism that occurs is within the individual whether that be the person running the business, the recruiters, managers or secretaries. Everyone has biases.
When people see me in real life I get judged and discriminated for being ugly and gay. Doesn’t make them oppressors everyone judges others

[supercutebutt]

@Tomisworthless As an ugly gentleman, you should have more compassion for your fellow human beings. Dial down your jerkiness by 70%. OK, friend?

[Tomisworthless]

Blow me

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless You have NO idea what Communism is! LOL And I'm calling you out for bullshit. Bullshit that it's being used in the public schools in any lower grades or even middle schools.

YOU, and your ilk, are trying to do exactly what I said you are - cut off ANY talk or discussion that brings up race, injustice or inequality. And why? Because you can't accept what REALLY happened in the history of this country - the USA, and you don't want to hear about how it goes on today, still. You're both scared and stupid, a dangerous combination. As your screen name seems to suggest, so are your comments. And by the way, supercute wouldn't disgrace herself by coming anywhere near your nub.

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless " there is no such thing as institutional racism because no policies are created to specifically targeted various races." More bullshit. It's what you want to believe, not what is in place in certain instances.

[Tomisworthless]

I have no idea what communism is? My family is from Yugoslavia and I was born in Croatia in 1994. Lol

[Tomisworthless]

You’re a fool bro everyone accepts the history of the US just some are stuck in the past and others look forward while remembering the past.

You have a poor understanding of History and I’m not despite being foreign born I’m well studied in History as it’s my favorite

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless And my father is from RUSSIA, and got out. You don't know what it is because you keep referring to people here who want to deal with injustice as "commies", which is the prototype for fascism. So no, you don't know shit about it, I don't where you were born.

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless No idiot, I know my own country's history far better than you EVER will. If anyone here is STUCK in the past, it's the right wing nuts, not the "left", which you would know if you were as smart as you thing you are. But you're not, you just "spew shit".

You're the fool who will keep repeating the mistakes of history because you don't even want to discuss it with young people. You'd rather ban it. You are the perfect right wing foil.

[Tomisworthless]

I’m the fool for repeating the same mistakes of the past yet you’re supportive of the very same party repeating the history of the Nazis. Literally democrats idolized and studied Mussolinis fascism and Hitlers nazi parties

[lightbulb27]

@Tomisworthless What's fascinating is they view it opposite like the right is the nazi's... national.

[Tomisworthless]

@lightbulb27 yeah it’s called projecting.

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless What's fascinating is just how ignorant you really are. That's what's fascinating. How you can listen to right wing rhetoric and think it's moral, accurate or even sensible. You're an absolute dolt.

[supercutebutt]

@loveslongnails It appears Tom already admitted to being worthless.

[loveslongnails]

True that. These guys are so profoundly ignorant, I have to stop talking to them. It's a waste of time and energy.

[supercutebutt]

They could be Russian trolls for all we know.

[loveslongnails]

Or, just stupid Republicans.

[lightbulb27]

I'm definitely not Russian.. I'm just asking questions...

[Tomisworthless]

@lightbulb27 don’t engage with them they are stuck in their ways just let it go.

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 You are, yes... the worthless guy is either a troll or an idiot, or both. He has no idea what he's talking about and isn't contributing anything factual or intelligent.

[Tomisworthless]

Just and idiot who can think ahead unlike you just following current trends

[lightbulb27]

I'm sure he's sincere, it's just difficult to communicate when views diverge... and noone wants to change from their viewpoint, because our sub conscious holds us in place. Online form of communication is the worst. There are legit issues, but different thinking. I find it concerning how divided everyone is and issues fall solid on one side or the other... history shows that's hazardous. I hope we (humanity) learns to communicate and relate better.

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 Anyone can be sincere. You can be completely WRONG and fucked up and still be sincere, but it doesn't mean you're right or even that you know what you're talking about! MTG might "sincerely believe" that Israeli lasers are starting forest fires all over California and the world, but she's still insane. Sincere, but insane.

I wouldn't say "no one wants to change from their viewpoint". That's foolish. Show me information that's real, that I can verify, and will prove to me I "should" change, and I'm open to it. That's how you grow and learn. This other guy just makes up his own facts and backs them with strawmen and calls anyone who disagrees with him a commie, like McCarthy did in the 50's and 60's.

[Tomisworthless]

Yeah nails I’m pretty sure you're the one in the first few sentences of your comment. Just to blind to be honest with yourself. So full of yourself you look down on others despite yourself being in the wrong

[lightbulb27]

@loveslongnails I agree people can think they are right and be totally wrong, even looking at the same facts. Their solutions can be right for them, but wrong for others. There are extreme right people and they come up with some wild stuff, but it seems usually rooted in some truth but stretched. Like "vapor trails" to change the weather patterns, conspiracies, etc..
There's no conspiracy around discrimination, another topic. Some would say it's required at times and others are opposed.
Probably better if people take issues one issue at a time rather than whole belief systems... like "woke".
I'd like to see a better definition of woke, I don't claim to be an expert on what people are being convinced of.

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless I look down on your voluntary stupidity. It's a choice you've made, and continue to make every day. That's why you're a dolt.

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 It will depend who you ask. Woke just means "aware"... aware of the truth. Simple. Ask the right wing nuts, it means whatever demons they want to attach to it.

[Tomisworthless]

To what truth? Surely not Lords Truth

[lightbulb27]

Nothing wrong with being aware. I'm aware the govt is screwing us, what's new? It's a 2 headed monster. I'm aware of the past, I don't like it. But I don't see woke around me...
There are nuts both far left and right. I try to be around the middle, slightly right. But if someone divided the country into left and right nuts, I'd take the right nuts. I've had friends and relatives that are hard left and right.
I don't view either as bad, they have their reasons...

[loveslongnails]

@Tomisworthless
What the FUCK are you talking about? LOL Go away.

[loveslongnails]

@lightbulb27 I realize, as do you, it's not a sum zero game. Choosing right over left if both are "nuts" makes no sense at all. There IS however, a very HUGE difference between moderate right and moderate left. But again, the question is about "woke", and all it means, is awareness of injustice and the willingness to at least talk about it, and hopefully do something about it. That's ALL it is. If you don't live with any of it, that's fine, but at least now you know what it really is, and not what Fox News tells you it is.

[purplepoppy]

Yes I demand gag change it's name to 'they ask them'

[exitseven]

I am the opposite of woke.

Lets get it done.

[supercutebutt]

You have your head buried in the sand and your buttocks pointed at the heavens.

And you have a nice day

[supercutebutt]

Thanks! :)

[supercutebutt]

@exitseven Sorry about all of your FOX "News" heroes being revealed to be money-grubbing grifters. :( This has to be a rough time for you. Everything you hold dear has been a filthy lie.

Rupert Murdoch admits Fox News stars ‘endorsed’ bogus election fraud claims

I would believe Hannity and Lou dobbs before I would take the work of Rupert Murdock. And besides , when dominion wiped the herd drives of all those voting machines even after there was a court order telling them not to why was there never an investigation and why was nobody arrested?

[supercutebutt]

I am sad to inform you that Hannity knew he was lying. He texted about it multiple times. And he admitted it under oath. What a life-shattering moment for you...

I think you already know... I'd make fun of a trans and not feel bad about it like you'd make fun of Trump and not feel bad about it.

[supercutebutt]

That's fine but Trump lies to you so he can get fat tax breaks. You are his stooge.

Your chosen team steals women's clothes and wears them in public.

[holdem4884]

How does that seem equivalent to you? I'm not a proponent of the trans movement as it seems to be largely, but not entirely, a societally induced problem.

These people were either born with the wrong anatomy for their psychology or they suffer from a disorder. Either way they experience mental torment. You'd make fun of them for that? How reprehensible and despicable. They might be a wonderful person but hey, they're different, so as a conservative, why wouldn't you make fun of them?

Trump is a specific person who's committed multiple infidelities. He's narcissistic, boastful, misogynistic, xenophobic, racist, autocratic, vengeful, thin-skinned, unempathetic, petty, corrupt, greedy, etc.

A lousy person might deserve ridicule, not for being different, but for being a self-centered a**hole.

[D_Bone_Steak]

@holdem4884 Yes I'd make fun of them for that. It's fucking funny. Why wouldn't I make fun of them? on the contrary I would. Biden sniffs girls and does all sorts of weird shit... I didn't drink the cool aid at the anti-Trump rally... They're both crap as far as I'm concerned. How some of you will snuggle up against a guy like Biden just because he's the opposition to Trump confuses me... his own kid calls him pedo Pete. I have this feeling his own kids would hate him at least as much as I do while you weirdos are on your knees for him with mouths wide open. Biden would watch you die just to go to Ukraine and hand Zelenski more money. But if the news said Trump doesn't want you to eat Biden's ass... his old flappy ass would have all these faces in it. It's just retarded.

[holdem4884]

I've never been to a Biden rally, nor Clinton, nor Obama. Missed all that cool aid. Making fun of Biden with the sniffing stuff would be funny, although I'm leary about the rest because I'm not aware of actual proof and even if it exists, making fun of it downplays the tremendous suffering many experience.

[D_Bone_Steak]

@holdem4884 Somehow... I think I agree.

[holdem4884]

No reason we can't be reasonable about things

[Natdabrat]

I wish I was woke but I’m practicing g on getting there it takes a lot of patience for me and time to be woke and know the full u defeat ding to be fully woke like a monk

[call_me_scar]

Depends on what one thinks woke is if you mean I see everyone equally and judge them by their actions then sure but really woke is really just a cringe right wing talking point for something they dont like or something that is actually silly

[electromagnetic]

Nope.
It’s only 7:00 and I’d rather stay sleep but reality calls for everyone to start walking up and accepting things as the new social norm.

[Anemone978]

I am woke to all the dumb shit in the word today... and I will lay my judgement on you...

[supercutebutt]

Sweet.

[holdem4884]

Ah, you must have woke up in a MAGA household. Exceedingly dumb indeed.

Extricate yourself as quickly as possible. Your psyche may not recover from the damage inflicted by prolonged exposure to their incessant stupidity and relentless cognitive dissonance.

My sympathies are with you.

[Anemone978]

@holdem4884 I ain't no dumb whore from America.. from an all white trash family like you bra...

[holdem4884]

You sound like trash? I'm white and middle class, never lived in one of the trailer parks you're so familiar with. Insert PPC for MAGA in my last comment. All fixed.

[Anemone978]

@holdem4884 I'm mixed and middle class.. I never lived in a trailer park either... So why are you messaging me? You dumb American cunt..

[holdem4884]

@anemone978 you commented and mentioned being stupid on my friends question so I replied. I'd watch the nastyness, my choice is for the simple minded like you and I'v been rather tame. Keep it up and you'll get sesquipedalianist fire mixed with caustic invectives.

[Anemone978]

@holdem4884 Who are you my mother? I don't need to do anything I don't want to...
Like I give a shit if you use big words or be sarcastic... it doesn't make you any smarter than the average joe..
You are just pathetic.. So how about go get a life instead of harassing people you don't know..

[supercutebutt]

@anemone978 Please apologize to @holdem4884 for calling her vulgar names.

[Anemone978]

Why?

[findacure4wokeness]

@Anemone978 You can call our women white trash whores and get a pass on that All because your colored. Sounds like POC privilege to me. Being a White man am I even allowed to ask if you A mixed half breed?

[Anemone978]

@findacure4wokeness Lol I'm white.. I just am half native but I only look white like my dad... I am only dicking around don't get so defensive snowflake :P

[holdem4884]

@anemone978 You have no idea what you're saying or who I am. I gave you a warning for your own sake. You're to weak to eviscerate, your mind is too dull and limited to formulate anything approaching an argument.

[Anemone978]

@holdem4884 Don't you get it... You keep saying I'm dumb and too dull to understand what you are saying or how to have an argument.. but you are the only idiot here, because no one even gives a shit who you are, or what you are even talking about... Why don't you stop being a fucktard trying to fight with me because I insulted one of your online "friends"... Like who gives a shit move along, clown..

[holdem4884]

One of those who can't learn, eh? Listen up, you insipid, whiny, and pathetic little cretin. Your complete lack of intelligence is only matched by your utter lack of social graces.

You think you can talk down to me like some sort of authority, when you're nothing more than a clueless simpleton who can't even begin to comprehend basic reasoning.

You are so intellectually deficient that you couldn't argue your way out of a wet paper bag with a chainsaw. Your arrogance is only surpassed by your ignorance, and it's a miracle you haven't been shunned by society entirely. You don't deserve to be a part of any rational discussion, and your presence only serves to drag everyone else down. So why don't you do everyone a favor and crawl back under the rock you came from?

[Anemone978]

@holdem4884 Yawn... why don't you step off your high horse and take a close look at yourself...
You think you are superior to me... which I find hilarious because you are the only one taking this shit serious... No one cares, only you do which shows your how insufferable and boorish you really are...
The thing that makes this funnier than the fact I am smarter than you is I could also kick your ass if I seen you in person... So why don't you go back to reading whatever pathetic little bullshit you like to read and stop writing to me bitch...

[holdem4884]

"... I am smarter than you is I could also kick your ass if I seen you in person"

How exceptionally juvenile. I'll stay on my high horse, I'd rather not walk in the excrement that follows you.

[Anemone978]

@holdem4884 Good, you do that... and carry on your way... you are so pointless...

[DarkLegacy]

I don;t understand why you keep referencing people believing in God in your replies, but let me ask why does your woke brigade ignore disability in your quest for 'equality'.

[Kelly6]

I’m also awake , 😜

that should count too

[Jerre]

Never Ever! Hopefully WOKE won’t be around much longer!

[supercutebutt]

There will be lots of car accidents if your dream comes true. Everybody asleep at the wheel.

[Dargil]

I'm nor "woke". I'm sound a schlep.

[AdithyaR]

I don't know but i do know i should definitely be sleeping🤣
(Why am I on GaG at 5:00 am)

[supercutebutt]

Go to bed.
