The woke movement could be the next great U.S. cultural export — and it is going to do many other countries some real good.

Read why understand why you'll have to learn to live with wokeism.
Nah, this mental illness will be rejected like all others.
shareThis has been said for over a decade now and the woke now hold basically all the institution. Wokeism is the dominant american ideology and is here to stay like it or not.
shareConservatives/Patriarchal groups have all the babies. Good luck, your time is finite.
shareNah it changes by the minute. Faster than Bidens diapers are changed.
Blacks.
Colored people.
Afro-American.
African-American.
People of color.
It’s simply because the lefts views are not based on substance or logic. They’re superficial and emotional.
Tomorrow their views will change again. Even the educated left are sick of wokism. Look at Bill Maher.
WHAT DOES WHAT WORD IS USED TO DESCRIBE POC HAVE TO DO WITH WOKE?...AND WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU BELIEVE WOKE IS?
share> It’s simply because the lefts views are not based on substance or logic. They’re superficial and emotional.
Oh, really? Can you give me an example?
In fact, the majority of the world rejects it, and calls it an "American Import".
shareIt is now an integral part of American Culture and as long ad America maintain it's dominance and top spot in the world wokeism will remain a colonizing force taking over other countries.
shareEh not really, companies only attach themselves to it to take the woke idiot's money and get the sweet ESG kickback. Media only supports it because it generates clicks and takes revenue from the woke idiot's viewing and internet habits. Politicians only support it because it funnel's woke idiot's money to their SuperPACs.
No one actually believes that shit, only a small tiny fraction of really really ugly people think it's real.
Oh also, since colonialism=bad, wokism=bad.
🤣
shareNo-one can take America seriously while daiper Joe is in charge.
share"purge some wrongdoers (and a few innocents)"
Good God is that a disgusting sentence. How many of the women killed in Salem were actual "wrongdoers"?
Great??? It's a cancer. It's self destructive and will implode on itself. Hopefully without destroying the country. If it runs its full course, this won't even be America any more but a hell of "woke" tyranny.
shareHow will it implode on itself?
shareBecause as I said, it is a self destructive ideology and it is entirely contrary to the Constitution and American way of life. It is a cancer destined to kill its host. It is nothing but an underhanded form of tyranny and people won't stand for it.
shareACCEPTANCE AND TOLERANCE?
shareAcceptance and tolerance of intolerance? Sounds like tyranny to me.
shareOH...I GET IT...YOU SEEM SO CONFUSED BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR SHIT ALL TWISTED.😐
shareYeah, that's it. I forgot that leftists actually believe their own bullshit. It's a world of contradictions, paradoxes and hypocrisy.
shareI AM NOT A LEFTIST.
shareYes you are.
shareI VOTED FOR TRUMP...TWICE...I OPPOSE TRANS WOMEN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS...KAMALA HARRIS AND JOE BIDEN ARE USELESS SCUMBAGS...CANCEL CULTURE IS BULLSHIT...WE NEED TO FINISH THAT BORDER WALL AND PATROL THE FUCKER.
I AM...NO LEFTIST.
THAT SAID...WOKE IS A CATCH ALL BUZZWORD FOR ASSHOLES TO FLAME ANYTHING FEATURING NON WHITES,WOMEN,LGBTQ,ETC
PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE AND SHOULD ENJOY THOSE SAME FREEDOMS YOU MENTIONED IN A DIFFERENT POST.
Confused is what you are, apparently.
You and I have different definitions of "woke".
YEAH...YOURS IS INSANE AND WRONG.
shareIt's actually not. This is the why actions speak louder than words. The actions of the woke people do not like up with what you think is woke. If you want woke to mean what you think it means, you need to change the actions of the woke people to match your beliefs.
Terms get hijacked all the time.... See: Karen
WOKE PEOPLE...LMAO...WHOLE LOT OF INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE...SOME ARE SANE SOME ARE NOT...GOOD ON YOU THOUGH...THIS HIVE MIND THEORY IS HILARIOUS.
shareWatch for yourself...

NOPE...NO POINTS PROVEN.
shareDude, the American government itself is at the forefront of perpetuating wokism even the military is taken by it. You are still talking as if wokism is just form fringe group when in reality it is the dominant culture right now.
shareIt's the loudest but not the majority. It's pure insanity and it must be stopped. A woke military makes us ripe for the picking.
share"A woke military makes us ripe for the picking."
Do you think the people who want to dismantle western society and flood first world countries with third world migrants are concerned about that?
Here's a quote for you:
"Leftism is a religion of self-loathing. It teaches white people to hate their race, boys to hate their sex, women to hate their femininity, Americans to hate their country, westerners to hate their history. What a contemptible, toxic thing it is."
lol talk about strawmaning, who even said that? got a source?
shareWhite people have been guilted into thinking they're the source of all the world's pains.
Boys and men are attacked for their "toxic masculinity".
Women are being told that any man who puts on a dress can be them.
Americans are being told that their country is evil. It's an evil place, rife with evil racism and sexism.
Their history is evil so it must be destroyed. The Founders were evil men and the country they created is evil.
It's the unadulterated truth. You assholes don't even have the balls to admit that you're trying to fundamentally change America into something else. You fight to change everything and act like it's not happening. Spineless worms.
"fundamentally change America into something else"
They openly admit it, what do you think they mean when they say they want to dismantle western society structures?
> White people have been guilted into thinking they're the source of all the world's pains.
No they are not. I'm a white person and I don't feel guilty or like anyone is trying to make me guilty. The people who are guilty ARE mostly white people, the white people in power. Read about the history of Britain, the largest global empire in "Legacy Of Violence" and realize it is still going on today. Unimaginable things, done by a certain class of people, who also happen to be mostly white. What you are trying to do is to take the innocence of ( I assume ) people like you and me who are not murdering slave holding people and extend it over and across those who were through history to justify more of same.
That is wrong, and that is evil.
"Woke" is becoming an insult. It's associated with over-sensitive hysterics, sort of like the Karen of political ideology. I wouldn't be placing bets on woke movements.
Tolerated to a point, many will shake their heads and laugh as the woke parade marches by, chanting their grievances about things that keep them up at night. We've always had grumpy foot-stomping activism. They like to make signs with witty puns. They love to bring down one group in order to elevate another.
"DiSmAnTLe tHe pAtriArChY!!!".... is a classic one. Okay guys dry those tears, we'll get some diversity in and.. "nOt gOOd eNouGh!!!"... okay guys, chill out, we'll run some courses and force people to take those courses, and you guys can run the courses. Nobody will like them, you'll be mocked, but maybe it will shut you up for awhile.
The problem with woke activism is.. well, it's lame. Humans generally won't tolerate lame shit for the long term. Short term, we pander to the needs of woke culture for awhile, giving them media megaphones and social clickbait, mainly to shut them up. Most educated people see through it, however.
Here in Australia, a teacher was fired for making all the boys stand up at assembly and apologise for the crimes of their gender. When the Woke go full retard, even the lefties come out and say "ok maybe that's going too far".
Don't mistake a "movement" for short term tolerance, like a misbehaving spoiled brat is tolerated.
The movement is not merely "tolerated" it has taken over every major institution in society from government, to entertainment to big tech. It is de dominant ideology in American culture.
shareIt is tolerated. You have no idea what people tolerate on a daily basis from the woke mob. Because the people it pushes around are more tolerant than the supposed "tolerant left". As some point, it will come to an end.
Your perspective is from the bottom of the bucket of shit that is wokism.
🤣
shareSorry, I don't know what the little square is supposed to represent. I know it's hard but try using words instead of memes and emojis.
shareYOU SAY WOKE SO FUCKING MUCH...IT DOESN'T EVEN MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS...AND ALL YOUR THOUGHTS ARE FLAT OUT CORRUPTED AND WRONG ON THE TOPIC...THIS IS LIKE TALKING TO SOMEONE ABOUT DOCTORS AND THEY START GOING ON ABOUT WHAT MURDERERS THEY ARE.
share"As some point, it will come to an end"
People have been saying that for over ten years and wokism not just continues unabated but it gets even more dominant.
In your mind, maybe. It gets rejected at every corner by anything thats not a globlaist, DNC, or WEF shill.
shareWestern culture succumbed to it, your best hope is for the Muslims to take over and for wokism to be supplanted by Islam. But then that is not guaranteed since wokism is already infecting Islam as well.
shareThose are not the only two options, dumbass. We are not sheep.
shareLibertatianism or so called conservatism is a failure and what got you to this spot in the first place. Conservatives don't conserve anything and are just liberals driving at the speed limit.
shareYou have a very narrow, limited view from the bottom of your bucket of shit.
share> Here in Australia, a teacher was fired for making all the boys stand up at assembly and apologise for the crimes of their gender.
Yeah, well I'd consider myself woke, awake to the historic injustices of the world, and the tricks the winners play to spin it like it's all natural and normal ...
But Firing? I could go either way on that because it is stupid.
Lame shit? The world tolerated slavery, economic exploitation, child labor, machine gunning strikers and killing union organizers, and all kinds of stuff - and for thousands of years. Stuff much worse than lame? The world is coming awake to what has been going on, and now mostly we and the Chinese are using technology and the tried and true methods of bullying and coercion those in power are trying to turn back the clock instead of move forward. That's what I think is lame.
Just today I was listening to a local radio station, where the Woke radio presenter (who is white) said "I'm just waiting for them all to die, hurry up and die already.". He was not joking, he was angry. Who was he talking about? He was talking about "old white men", such as politicians and others in power or influence. He also said "if you vote for the right, you don't love your children".
If you can't see that "Woke" is increasingly associated with deluded, toxic ideology, you're suffering from an irrational state of mind.
Skin color doesn't matter. Corruption, stupidity, intelligence, innovation... all traits can occur in humans of ANY color or age. It is NOT helpful using Woke memes to target certain sections of the population based on skin color or background. Insisting that all we need to do is replace the white men with "diversity", is an unfortunate position to take. What you'll see as more tokenistic placements occur based on diversity quotas rather than merit, is an increase in decline, not an increase in stability. Why? Because the big issues are not easy to manage. If you have an angry social justice warrior calling the shots, you will get "revenge" based policy, over-compensatory signalling and "over-steer" in everything because "justice" or whatever.
You and I likely share a lot of opinions on the problems in the world. I am concerned about the environment, about extinction of species and threats to bio-diversity among many other things. But that doesn't mean I'll shout for old white men to die, or rush to fill the oceans with wind farms up and down the coast everywhere. We owe it to future generations to get it right, and that doesn't mean being hysterical and pushing radical policies with anger and frustration.
Who cares? The problem is that a lot of white racist leaders were saying stuff lots worse than that behind closed doors and implementing them. You really seem to know nothing about these issues ... which is a real plus for people on the Right.
Here is something I am reading now, a bit out of context, but if you are intellectually honest ( which you probably are not ) you will get the point.
On one of his first trips to Georgia, he wrote, he came across a book by Dr. Eugene R. Corson, a Georgia obstetrician, titled The Vital Equation of the Colored Race and Its Future in the United States.11 It was apparently an updated or shortened version of Corson’s widely read “The Future of the Colored Race in the United States From an Ethnic and Medical Standpoint,” published in 1887 in the New York Medical Times.12 This was just after the failure of Reconstruction, and a widespread topic of speculation, particularly in the South, was whether Black people would soon outnumber white people in that part of the country. The Ku Klux Klan and others calling for wholesale slaughter and suppression of Black people claimed that they were more likely to have larger families because they were “more prolific,” code for “excessively sexual,” a charge that had persisted from the earliest days of slavery and led to the murder of Emmett Till (among others). However, the “scientific” racists of the day, like Corson, thought differently. Corson led a movement suggesting that people of African ancestry, now lacking the protective womb of slavery, would die out for the simple reason that the Black race was inferior to whites. Corson acknowledged the Klan’s argument that “the simpler the organism, the simpler the genesis and the greater the prolificness.” But, he said, white people would prevail because they were less likely to die of disease, citing Herbert Spencer’s “Theory of Population Deduced from the General Law of Animal Fertility.”13

LOL, 1887.
Nobody denies historical racism. But we live in the 21st century now, not the 19th century. In 500 years from now the few remaining Woke nutjobs will still be crying "RaCiZZMmm".
Laws have been in place for a long time that prevent discrimination. If you are discriminated against based on race, or other things such as disability or gender, you can sue. That's how it is now. That's the system we live in.
So your position in this debate relies on some kind of vaporous after-glow of historical racism you insist is tangible and real today... in the "sYsTeM" and the mind's of old white men! You want intellectual honesty? You need to come to the same table, bud.
They don't realise that at the moment oil cartels are running the world, it's all coming, unless you're in a stand alone situation and off the grid.
Corporate greed is waht destroys everything.
There is no way humans can be called an intelligent species. We have some intelligent individuals, but if you are intelligent in ways that are not greedy ... we saw the result of what happens with that 2022 years ago.
shareSycophants the lot of them...

Wokeism ... way better than fascism.
Wokeism is justice, and justice is democracy, and democracy is socialism ...
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-socialist-program-with-brian-becker/id1539214532
Wokism is fascism. Just as political correctness was aptly described as "tyranny with a smile".
shareYou have to do better than just calling what you're ignorant about or what you don't like bad names. You're a troglodyte.
shareIf only that were so. I'm calling it that because the shoe fits. The label fits the behavior. Don't wanna be one, don't act like one.
shareAre you saying that I personally am acting in some way like a fascist?
share"Wokeism is justice, and justice is democracy, and democracy is socialism ..."
If you believe that, yes. The sole intent of wokism is to silence the opposition through intimidation. It's simply political correctness 2.0.
"Wokeism is justice, and justice is democracy, and democracy is socialism ..."
The irony here is that socialism always ends in economic disaster.
> The sole intent of wokism is to silence the opposition through intimidation.
That is only your claim. No one else thinks that. You do not get to tell everyone else what the screwball definition of "wokism" is in your sad twisted mind. You don't just like you can't refine idiot because your picture is in the dictionary.
It's more the intent of "wokism" if there is even such a word is to shame the establishment by waking people up to the facts that the establishment has worked so hard to hide and deny to oppress them. You're a mindless shill for the establishment trying to annoy people. Well, you are annoying, I've give you that.
Bullshit. It is true and we've watched it happen nearly every day over the last several years. You're just blind to it because you're drinking the Kool Aid. It's nothing more than replacing one flavor of hate (imagined) with another (real).

I'm a shill for the establishment? Project much? I voted for the anti-establishment former president, because he was anti-establishment and ran on "draining the swamp". The one that you have spent six years vilifying. You fight every day to preserve the corrupt, perverse establishment. As usual, the opposite of what you say is true.
shareThat's like a German being proud of voting for that maverick Hitler. Nothing to be proud of. And why do you persist in your ignorant yapping anyway? I'm certainly not interested in hearing it.
shareThe left's desperate attempt to paint Trump as some sort of fascist dictator, all the while acting just like fascists themselves, is both entertaining and terrifying.
And that is exactly why American politics are so divisive.
That's so obviously ridiculous.
Trump is daily shown more and more being a wanna be fascist dictator, with people who will say anything to justify it. There is not much you can say to deny it since it's all be investigate and come out in black and white and full color video right in front or everyone's eyes, so you resort to broad, goofball claims like your last comment.
It's the truth. You are fascists. You exhibit every facet of fascist behavior. Yet somehow are able to project it onto the opposition. Just like Goebbels said.
shareWokism is fascist when morons like you are deliberately forcing it on people. How is this justice?
shareSpoken like a True Fascist!
