Germany is a world leader in wokeness.

[ShahdagMountains]

Making the German language gender-neutral is easier said than done. For instance, all nouns describing people or professions in German are either male or female, even in the plural. New word forms are therefore having to be invented to accommodate these demands.

Unsurprisingly, some linguists have slammed Cambridge for promoting these crimes against grammar. Oliver Baer, a member of the German Language Association, said that ‘if a non-native speaker came and tried to use gender-neutral German while on holiday here I think they would stand a good chance of making a fool of themselves’.

Take the city of Hanover, for example. Gender-neutral language has been used for all official communications since 2019, with many other local governments following suit. Or take the first female chief of the Berlin police, Barbara Slowik. In 2019, she announced that she would no longer be referred to as the ‘police chief’ (der Polizeipräsident), as the term is masculine. But instead of opting for the feminine form of the same title (die Polizeipräsidentin), she decided on the gender-neutral ‘Polizei Berlin’ – meaning literally ‘the Berlin police’. Which is as nonsensical as it sounds.

The truth is that Germany is not having wokeness imposed on it from abroad – neither by right-on academics in the UK, nor by American racial identitarians. On the contrary, its own elites are willingly embracing and promoting it. And in the case of trans lunacy, Germany is arguably leading the way. It is fast becoming the wokest country in Europe.

Germany is a world leader in wokeness

German elites are in thrall to gender ideology and BLM-syle identity politics.

Non-news about nothing. Ever see word 'wokeness', skip. This rule never fails, because anyone who moans and groans about 'wokeness' is always a moron and/or grifter.

Non-news about nothing

So why did you read it?

It's hard not to notice something if it literally pops up at the top, cluttering everything.

Noticing is not the same as reading it.

Cluttering? Excuses excuses.

We have lot of woks - but for sure China or the USA have much more woks.

Dear idiot mine: grammatical gender (male, female, neuter and none) has absolutelly nothing to do with biological sex. Most simple example: "girl" is not female but neuter (=das Mädchen).

Wokeness usually happens when you have poorly educated but ultra gullible people who are easily manipulated by our corrupt, corporate media. Some people will believe anything they see on TV or in the paper. And that, boys and girls, is the only reason CNN, MSNBC, WaPo and the NYT still exist today.

How fascinating.

Carnival moves canceled for safety reasons: Time for festivals without terror!Germany capitulates to terror:

After 16 years of CDU federal government and three and a half years of traffic light government, several cities have cancelled their carnival parades because the security impositions were no longer financed. In Marburg in Hesse, the traditional Rose Monday parade is cancelled because the event with the associated closures is simply too expensive. In Bavarian Kempten, the carnival procession is also canceled because there was a requirement that entrances to the procession route must be protected with concrete frames. Erfurt is being held at the "town hall storm", but the march of the fascists in January has also been canceled due to the expensive security requirements.
This is the reality in Germany - brought by CDU, CSU and traffic light parties.

What's nonsense. "Gender-neutral" language - "language" = die Sprache is by the way 'female' - is in nearly all companies and institutions in Germany not allowed any longer. Main reasons: Waste of time and accuracy. And a big problem for the sytem of justice.

Or take the first female chief of the Berlin police, Barbara Slowik. In 2019, she announced that she would no longer be referred to as the ‘police chief’ (der Polizeipräsident), as the term is masculine. But instead of opting for the feminine form of the same title (die Polizeipräsidentin), she decided on the gender-neutral ‘Polizei Berlin’ – meaning literally ‘the Berlin police’. Which is as nonsensical as it sounds.

You mix here things which have nothing to do with each other. "Berlin" has the grammatical gender "no gender" = no article. The police (=die Polizei) is "female". In the combination "die Berliner Polizei" the article "die" refers to the female grammatical gender of the German word for police. In "Polizei Berlin" the lack of an article (no gender) refer to the word Berlin which has the grammatical gender "no gender".

The truth is that Germany is not having wokeness imposed on it from abroad – neither by right-on academics in the UK, nor by American racial identitarians. On the contrary, its own elites are willingly embracing and promoting it.

Elites? Sorry - but I met many idiots in my life. And some of them - ¿nearly most? - had been academics.

And in the case of trans lunacy, Germany is arguably leading the way. It is fast becoming the wokest country in Europe.

Okay. Perhaps we have most woks in Europe. Grammatical gender in German "male": "der Wok". We use it also for sports.

I use it for cooking.

As I always said: "Be simpler, and people we'll be attracted to you". The ideals of Imperium of Man are simple and, therefore - attractive.

Many people see Russia as the Last Stronghold of Humanity, and Putin - as the young Emperor.

So now Europe is evil and Putin is defensible.

No surprise. The GQP has been headed in this direction for a long time.

I'd say the EU has always been evil, people left there for America in their many millions for freedom and opportunity that was no longer available there for them.....Nothing new under the sun.

As for Russia, (and Ukraine for that matter) they are more like Mafia families involved in a turf war.....Just different Dons.

Says a mass-murdering "Mafiosi" (Sorry undear members of the real Mafia. You are more honorful than is the Russian government). Do you know where the word "genocide" comes from? This word was used the first time in history in context of the extremely suppressing and brutal behavior of the Russians against the Polish in the 19th century.

Blitz Wok War?

Modern version of the campaign slogan "Deutschland erwache" from the NSDAP about 100 years ago: "Make America great again".
