That thing is a complete fucking dickhead!

Woke is a proper americanism.

Does it not just mean don’t be a dickhead to other people?

    -si-

    That’s how I see it. It’s like people who piss and moan about “political correctness” whereas to me that just seems like having basic manners and treating people with a bit of dignity. It’s not difficult if you’re not a cunt.

      Nail on the head, mate!

      -si- Does it not just mean don’t be a dickhead to other people?

      Not really. It’s also about virtue signaling, privilege checking, and constantly refining the acceptable lexicon to ensure that no one has their feelings hurt.

          zackster …always been prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt, seemed to get a tough time from a lot of folk, and she’s knocked-out a couple of decent remixes, however, read the original Guardian piece and its pretty embarrassing, feels like such a cynical effort to get a pat on the back for not doing very much at all

              Unbroken1 agreed. Hearing her RA exchanged from a few months ago totally turned me off. She defines virtue signaling.

                Dunno why it took her so long to realize her name is cringey as all hell and was always a terrible idea. Race relations in this country are not great (well, they aren’t anywhere, really); one has to be a complete dope to be white and to think it’s a good idea to call yourself “The Black” anything. Utterly tone deaf.

                At least the Chiefs have finally realized overweight white dudes who think they invented “BBQ” (as in “cooking food with a fire”) shouldn’t be wearing Indian headdresses to sporting events.

                hugopal of course. To the simple mind they go hand in hand. All about togetherness and understanding. Not a clue (at least won’t say so) that woke culture is all about oppression and shame.

                  What do you mean not really? That’s totally incorrect. It really boils down to being sound to others, treat them as you want to be treated in return. Don’t need ludicrous terms to build it up into something it isn’t.

                      -si- you asked what it meant and now you are telling me what it means. Which way do you want it professor?

                        Poor old Si.

                        Still struggling with this message board game.

                          Could be onto something here Zack.
                          If we all had a universal index score for;
                          Virtue
                          Privilege
                          Wokeness

                          Scale of 1-10, determined by algorithm. Then we’d be able to easily identify twats and avoid subject to our tolerance.

                            Got a good example for NLB…

                            Montye Python has been retro actively canceled for dressing like women. They took acting jobs from actual women, and are making light of something that deeply effects real life trans individuals.

                            This is not a joke. John Cleese has addressed it
                            publicly.

                            Now I ask you Si: is this an attempt by others to gain attention by taking something wildly out of context or is it simply “being sound towards others” or what ever it is you said?

                              Mad_Cyril Unlike you brother, a paragon of originality, subtley and nuance

                              Correct.

                                It’s bollocks Zack.

                                Bowing to the professionally offended.

                                You’ll be suggesting they should be aloud to vote next.
