Zone1 When did Wokeism begin

[Dogmaphobe]

Woke was born of political correctness, became authoritarian as it morphed into identity politics, and then weaponized by those in control of mainstream and social media as a way to control us.

This coming from someone probably offended by pronouns, having to see a cross on the highway, and worried about the climate KILLING US ALL ZOMG.


The world is starting to get sick of the elites and the deep state people from all governments trying to tell us how to live our lives.

Sure. So, you still curled up in a corner? Is that what you are telling me? Ok, bud. Thoughts and prayers.

What your response is telling me is you don't get zone 1 rules, nor are you able to actually debate a point on the merits.

The term began when "awakened" became too intellectual to say, so a deformation of language from pidgon English slipped in.

Woke: meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".[1][2] Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights

OMG I can see why Conservatives are outraged

 

[rightwinger]

Imagine standing up for the rights of those who are being discriminated against

Damn Woke

Woke meaning anyone not woke is evil, some form of ist/ic/ism, and has no right to their opinion, to make a living, or sooner or later even to live.

Woke is standing up for those being discriminated against

Conservatives don’t want their rights to exclude others interfered with

Unless they are the "right" type to discriminate against.

Most of the exclusions these days are being done by the supposed oppressed.

I understand how hard it is as a conservative when someone stops you from harassing and beating up gays and Transexuals.

Anyone who stands up for them is woke

I've never beat up anyone like that. Been in two fights in my life and both were by mutual consent between the aggrieved.

meanwhile:

Former College Swimmer Says She Was Verbally, Physically Attacked at SFSU

Former college swimmer Riley Gaines said she was chased and verbally abused by protesters who shut down a talk she was scheduled to give at San Francisco State University Thursday.

She posted a video on Twitter and wrote, “I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces.”

Yet you defend those who do harass and beat gays and Transexuals

Show me where I defended anyone beating someone because they were gay or trans.

And of course you probably define harassing as having an opinion you or they don't like.

Yale law students disrupt bipartisan free speech panel, trigger police escort

Law school professor Kate Stith, the moderator, was forced to pause the event when one student told a member of the conservative group that she would “literally fight you, b—h,” according to audio and video obtained by the outlet.

 

[Lastamender]

Political correctness has been around forever, but as it exponentially blossomed it was referred to as being woke.

Essentially, those who do not succumb to the PC are deemed dead to society now because it is so pervasive. People are now ostracized from such things as employment, schooling, etc., which is why you need to submit to the group think to be able to play with the other Reindeer and their Reindeer games.

Just one more form of control the state has over the populace without passing any laws.

Political correctness is cultural Marxism.

Pretty stupid question.

Debate what? That you are terrified of "woke" and you think someone is going to come and cut off your nuts?

Sorry, bud. That's between you and your therapist. Good luck and hope everything works out ok.

 

[Captain Caveman]

There is no such thing as ‘woke’ as misrepresented and lied about by conservatives.

Woke - Wikipedia

So it was kinda leaning towards the start of 2010. I only looked into this because I have a 10 month old puppy and she sits like a Meerkat, so her nickname is Alexander.

For those not familiar with that, CompareTheMarket.com's advertising campaign in the UK is called Compare The Meerkat. So I Googled Alexander Meerkat and here's the Wikipedia link -

Compare the Meerkat - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

The part of interest in the link is -

On 11 August 2009, an opinion piece in The Guardian newspaper accused the advert series of racism for mocking Eastern European accents. The article received a near universally negative reaction and the Advertising Standards Authority, following a complaint by the author of the article, stated that it had not received any similar complaints, and ultimately decided to take no action.

That part then got me thinking, when did Wokeism begin and, what accent should Alexander have? I mean, are all human accents racist for a Meerkat?? We live in bizarre times.

So is 2009 the start?

Here's my Meerkat that started all this -

The Frankfurt School....

The Frankfurt School, known more appropriately as Critical Theory, is a philosophical and sociological movement spread across many universities around the world. It was originally located at the Institute for Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung), an attached institute at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. The Institute was founded in 1923 thanks to a donation by Felix Weil with the aim of developing Marxist studies in Germany. After 1933, the Nazis forced its closure, and the Institute was moved to the United States where it found hospitality at Columbia University in New York City.

Wokeism doesn't affect all that much.

Calling out something you disagree with isn't "being terrified" of it.

All you have is deflection and denial, which means you don't really have anything.
