Anyone scared how woke the UK is becoming?

[MK1997]

People are being jailed for saying racist things on the Internet here or even making videos of someone saying racist things.

People are being arrested for saying they don't want any Palestine flags around.

1 in 20 men wear make up.

It's crazy

[MisterWack]

?

Woke means nothing though. You can complain about men wearing makeup, Pro Israel, and men wearing makeup all you want though you can’t just say a buzzword.

1) Yes people have a right to fly Palestinian, Israeli, Ukrainian, Russian, American, UK, etc. Basically any flag you want since it is your freedom of speech / right to peacefully protest however I don't know the situation in the UK to make an educated deep dive so, I’ll leave it there since you didn’t go on a deeper level either we’re even and all is good.

2) Getting arrested for racism could mean different things to different people, okay? So when I hear this, I’m assuming hate speech or call to violence. I’m not looking deeper since you refuse to go deeper, okay even all good.

3) 1 in 20 men wearing makeup…. Have you heard of Hollywood? Every male actor wears makeup, maybe you are referring to Gay Men since you mentioned being “anti woke” though not every Gay Man wears makeup. I don't know where you even got such a statistic so… Since we don’t dive on a deeper level, I’m ending it there.

Constructive Criticism: Using buzzwords whether right or left or whatever will ultimately divide up people going “Oh Hell Yes!” Or “Oh Hell No!”, meet from the middle and add some actual information / context to allow us the reader to process everything with our own research / helpful insight. Thank you! God Bless.

[MK1997]

I disagree with you but ok

[MisterWack]

@mk1997 I’m starting to think you are going off the deep end.
You could be disagreeing with me that all Hollywood actors wear makeup, that you have a right to fly whatever flag you want as a symbol of free speech / freedom to peacefully protest something you don’t agree with, could be disagreeing with buzzwords causing division or lack of merit or could be disagreeing on the basis that hate speech & call to violence are a punishable offense depending on the circumstance. Hell you could even be disagreeing with the fact you pulled numbers out of the air / statements with no facts or knowledge for the reader to fact check against utilizing doing their own research. Those were all my points, I stand by them. I don’t think you standby what you said, though that is just my opinion.

Just sayin’.

[PeterLegg91]

Very scary times here in the uk my friend, and I hate it re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Oh no, everyone is awakening! Terrifying!


Or maybe you can be indifferent to it. You don’t those people in your life and I’m sure they’ll know. You’ll be fine.

[BetaBucks]

I don't think we should be indifferent to human rights violations. We should definitely be indifferent to make-up choices though. Idek why these two things were posted together. Almost troll level posting.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I agree, and racism is definitely not a welcomed thing in this society, but it doesn’t belong in the same category as gender queerness

[MK1997]

Then why do you care what others do?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

There’s a big difference between calling you out on your homophobic/transphobic attitude by saying it’s wrong for anything other than men and women to exist versus condemning someone for doing the exact same thing based on their skin color

[MK1997]

What are you talking about

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You’re the original poster

[MK1997]

I was never homophobic. You are just making things up

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Why would you have issues with men wearing make-up when cosmetics has no assigned gender?

[MK1997]

They do?

God sake, I don't care who wears what, but it's still socially weird

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You cared enough to complain about it like other people’s lives effect you personally somehow

[MK1997]

You complain about consensual age gaps like your you are gonna die tomorrow

[MK1997]

When it's really none of your business

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You went digging so deep into my profile like I remember everything I’ve ever said. I must have pissed you off something fierce lmao

[MK1997]

Lol no I just remember our chats

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I do not lol

[BetaBucks]

@CupcakeTheDestroyer I'm talking about the human rights violation of forcing humans into cages for using unapproved sequences of syllables or letters. That's medieval psychopathy. Sure, racism is rude, but it doesn't warrant violence. But often it's not even racism, like not supporting a country (which is distinct from a race) and often people are allowed to be as racist as possible, directly towards certain races, and it be completely ignored by that same government. If you want racist comments about one race to result in being forced into a cage, but no violence for racism against another race, you're both a violent psychopath, and a racist. Who has absolutely zero concept of human rights.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Racism is the violence, my man. Do you not remember lynchings?

[BetaBucks]

Lynchings are violent. Rude words are not. Your response is incredibly dishonest and confirms what I thought about you. It's sad that in 2024 we still have this kind of mindset with people. I swear our species is incapable of evolving anymore.

I hope you can manage to soften your heart somehow and recognize how atrocious your belief system is.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Feel free to block me if I upset you that much

[Anonymous]

Anyone who spoke up about the grooming gangs was silenced and still is.

[FoxnEagle]

"1 in 20 men wear makeup"
Is just the clickbait crap people come up with; same as the "1 in 5 women have been raped!"

According to the findings, 1 in 20 men = 5%, 1% is every day, 1% is 2-6 days a week, 3% is less than that. Why? Who knows. If you ask 100 men, one happens to be a news anchor or member of parliament, well you already have 1% right there! As far as I can see, they're lumping everyone from the drag queens to people who use it for work, to people who just want to cover up blemishes.

What is scarier in the UK is the limitations on free speech and opinions.

[MK1997]

Yes absolutely

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

This is the first time I hear Mr Atkinson, and that was very interesting, thanks !

[BetaBucks]

Forcing humans into cages because they used a sequence of sounds or letter that the government doesn't approve of is psychopathic. Guys being slightly effeminate is irrelevant. Putting these two concerns in the same post is really weird to me.

It's like giving an example of genocide and an example of petty theft and going "see how bad the world is!"

But yeah, I'm worried about the blatant human rights violations from the UK gov. I couldn't care less about guys putting on make-up.

[RavVid]

I agree. What disturbs me is that people have been arrested and convicted for silent prayer which is having unspoken incorrect thoughts. It is even more disturbing that one group is allowed to be violent but another group can be arrested for wearing traditional religious insignia.

[MK1997]

You seem to be one of those Woke extremists

[MK1997]

Especially considering you defend old women molesting young boys. It all makes sense now

[RavVid]

Dialogue does not seem possible. Pity.

[MK1997]

Just no

[Anonymous]

Two Tier and the ministry of last resort got voted in by 20% of the voting public so I'm not expecting their idiotic mandates to last.

I also suspect that people in general are tiring if the whims of the left leaning authoritarianism, both here and across Europe, and we may see this manifest in the coming years. Perhaps lead by that big country over the ocean that we hear so much about.

But we'll see...

[Syntosi]

No. I am more concerned about people who think "wokism" is a real social issue.

Also, strictly speaking its common for men to wear makeup historically. Its weird that we ever stopped quite frankly.

[Fireguy17]

Hopefully at some point some new fad will come along and things will get better.
I'm not in favor of being ok saying things that are truly racist, but being put in jail for it sound a bit over the top.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I woke up this morning, it's not that scary, I'm not responsible for my haircut during nighttime. Enough judgement now.

[exitseven]

I am really shocked to find out it is not just the US that has gone crazy. Maybe when President Trump is done in America he can fix the UK.

[FoxnEagle]

If you wanted to know what America would have been like 10 years down the line if Harris had won, just look at Canada. 20 years down the line? The UK.

[Avicenna]

It’s the totalitarian nature of the UK government that is especially concerning.

[Anonymous]

People are always going to have their own qualms about social change. Not anything government can do to help it.

[CaptainSmartass]

Yeah. Its terrifying. I hope the regime decides to hold an election next year...

Simples...

[noohair]

Progressives in England. It is not my country. When you vote for sh! t you wind up sleeping in sh! t.

[WatchedPot]

They simply aren't following the US examples. I applaud the UK for it.

[MK1997]

Horrible

[WatchedPot]

Religions were originally created in an attempt to control chaos. Free rein is not freedom. And one day someone will do something against you, you will then appreciate the rules protecting you from them.

[KrakenAttackin]

The UK is lost. The moral deterioration and wokenwss is a direct result of a gynocracy.

[Pete671]

I agree!, it's the sense of entitlement from wimmin that grates my chuff,,,
Eg - women campaign for equality, but when they had to wait as long as men to get state pension they were up in arms!,,,
At my employer, women have an equal pay claim for shop floor staff compared to night shift warehouse workers, claiming the work is of equal value,,,
Based on the fact that most shop floor staff are women, most night shift warehouse workers are men,,,
On that basis women should have to do warehouse work at night, but then they claim childcare responsibilities,,,
rant over!!!

[jahaims]

No free speech, no 2a. That's what happens. Open a book

[Dongie]

Perhaps over the next couple of years the presence of DJT will help correct those far-left rules.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Hopefully it'll get so woke the Tories will never be elected again !!!

[OddBeMe]

The ones who exited their financial future because "fuck immigants"? No. Lol

[MrCharlie13]

People shouldn't be arrested, but at the same time hate towards race should not be tolerated

[Anonymous]

Labour so we've got 5 years of wealth confiscations and mass genocide to deal with

[Anonymous]

It makes me laugh.
It’s going to take a “Trump” to fix it.

[PeterLegg91]

Well Said my way , politicians here are pussies
