“Woke” politics: who and where does it come from?

[Billy000]

And she's the one who said she couldn't define what a woman was because she isn't a biologist. Did she lie? Or is being a biologist the requirement to define what a woman is?

Lol you idiots will always have this little gem to endlessly bring up over and over huh? You know you always lose the intellectual debate but FINALLY you found something you can milk for all it’s worth and say “see! This liberal said something stupid! Derp, derp, derp!”

Obviously she was lying. You would have to be a moron to believe she didn’t know what a woman is. In fact, suggesting she didn’t know what a woman was is just as stupid as what she said. Congratulations. Once again, you self own.

Yes, because what we want in a Supreme Court Justice is someone who lies UNDER FUCKING OATH to placate the most extreme wing of her party.....


Do you even think for 5 seconds before you type?

The origins of wokeism is the Frankfurt School in the 30's, transported to the US primarily through Columbia University, starting with critical theory.

Think of the more extreme examples like the assertion there are dozens of genders or talk of pregnant men.

Question: Who genuinely believes those things?

Answer: It’s college kids and morons on Twitter.

That’s it. It really isn’t anyone else who talks about such silly things. I mean it isn’t democrats in office who bring this stuff up. As a result of the Twitter backlash to anything remotely politically incorrect, corporations feel the need to go way out of their way to avoid those ridiculous pitfalls. Should they though? If it is just college kids and morons on Twitter, do they really need to try so hard?

You know who brings this subject up the most, though? Republicans. Republicans LOVE to talk about those kinds of examples. It’s an easy thing to ridicule so they milk that shit for all it’s worth. The result is that they bring up the subject up WAY more often than the left actually does.

Now granted how you define “woke” varies.

Republicans think women in action films is “woke”.

Republicans think black people in leading roles is “woke”.

Republicans think gay people doing anything at all in movies is “woke”.

Such things are not “woke”. Gay people exist therefore it makes sense they would be in movies. Good luck explaining that logic though lol

Your president nominated a Supreme Court justice who publicly said she was unable to define what a woman is because she's "not a biologist".

This is what you wanted.

I know a lot of Republicans and don't know a single one of them who thinks any of those things are 'woke' or has any problem with them.

"Woke" is refusal to allow any point of view that is uncomfortable or opposite of what a person chooses to believe and demands ability to not have to allow any other point of view. In the extreme it is 'safe places' on college campuses where students won't have to see or hear any words, images, ideas that might further traumatize them.

'Woke' is seeing various groups and demographics as victims of some residual societal ways of thinking and therefore thought itself must be eradicated, re-educated, required to conform to the more noble and righteous and politically correct point of view. The extreme is Critical Race Theory that assumes all white people are culturally conditioned to be racist and need to be reprogrammed at a very early age.

"Woke" is believing that the "Green New Deal" and its variations are the only hope for the planet and, in the extreme, somehow is able to turn off common sense in people who are convinced that the use of fossil fuels can be eradicated in the reasonably near future. As we speak, this kind of thinking has put most of Europe into the worst energy crisis anybody can remember and threatens to collapse the European economy.

"Woke" is tossing out the old fashioned notions of strong nuclear families, respect for life, self-reliance, personal accountability for choices made, personal responsibility, liberty, choices, options, opportunity and the right to be who and what we choose to be with impunity so long as we respect the rights of others. All that is replaced with a fuzzy concept of 'the collective' and a level society in which no one is allowed to fail or is responsible for themselves or the choices they make but all must conform. In the extreme there is required 'group think' and heretics must be cancelled, even destroyed.

Finally "Woke' is blaming all who reject it for all that is wrong or bad in the community, the state, the nation, the world.

so she was lying,for what purpose?....this tells me she isnt very trustworthy.....she was under oath.....

 

[Billy000]

You would have to be an idiot to think she doesn’t actually know what a woman is. She obviously said this to be PC. That’s it. That’s the entire reason. Like is it honestly worth it to you to still be talking about it? My god lol. Sorry dude. She’s on the SC now. Nothing you can do about it. Maybe just move on with your life?

So she lied under oath to appease the nutter wing of your party?

 

[marvin martian]

From what I can tell and/or remember, "woke" began essentially as a one-word description of those on the Left who weaponize and/or pride themselves on their adherence to PC & Identity Politics. The Left still absolutely refuses to admit what a primary role this tactic has played in the rise and strength of Trumpism, and still clings to it.

But now the word is being used so frequently and for so many situations -- we just LOVE overdoing things -- that its meaning is not quite so clear any more.

You voted for a man who put a judge on the Supreme Court who is unable to define what a woman is because she's "not a biologist".

This is what you voted for. This is what you wanted. This is your fault.

Assuming you're right (and it's a big assumption), why would she feel a need to say that?

 

[Papageorgio]

Okay she is not the one who brought that shit up to begin with. Some moronic, childish Republican who thought the subject mattered in the first place.

Hence why could she not answer an easy question.

 

[Mac1958]

Sure, I'll take the blame. Whatever you'd like.

 

[marvin martian]

You deserve it. You and all the other fascists.

And, PC/identity politics originated from The Frankfort School. But there are no commies, I tell you. None. Zippo.

 

[Uncensored2008]

You would have to be an idiot to think she doesn’t actually know what a woman is.

So she lied, under oath.

That disqualifies her from sitting on the high court.

She obviously said this to be PC.

So, she lies for political reasons. Not exactly and impartial jurist.

That’s it. That’s the entire reason. Like is it honestly worth it to you to still be talking about it? My god lol. Sorry dude. She’s on the SC now. Nothing you can do about it. Maybe just move on with your life?

She should be impeached and removed.

She won't be, but she should be.

So you think it's a good thing that a woman who obviously lied (your words) in sworn testimony was confirmed to the highest court in the land? They put Roger Stone in prison for that, what should happen to her?

so she will base her rulings on if its PC or not?.....she should not be a judge billy.....
