That is how normal society works,I saw this definition of “Woke” the other day. It means a lot of good things to decent people. And we all know it means a lot of bad things to bigots:
“You are willing to consider that someone else's lived experiences can be drastically different from yours, and are willing to at least try to understand the other person's perspective and appreciate that their thoughts, feelings and perspectives are worth considering. I don't think of it as a set of specific beliefs as much as a state of mind that allows you to be more thoughtful and empathetic toward people who are not like you.”

fixed it for yaIs the freedom party still telling me what to do? I have stopped listening. I am as woke as i can be. Strange days, Roe gets gutted and recreational weed is flowering around our grate cuntry.
That may be the singular most absurd misrepresentation of WOKE I have seen.Do you not so secretly hate woman? One point.
Does another's sexual preference threaten you? One point.
Do you believe you earned the money that your daddy gave you? One point.
Do you think that carrying a gun makes you Matt Dillon? One point.
Do you destroy the environment because god is coming anyway? One point.
There's a reason why Aussie women (and Brits, and EnZed) travel either alone, or in pairs to other parts of the world.Monday this week. Lunch with a couple I had known for 50 years.
I told them that until I stopped work and started hanging out with different (non-professional) people, that I had no fucking idea how racist and misogynist the average Aussie was.
Starting with the bullshit we saw with our first female Prime Minister, then through to some recent well published court cases, the disgusting attitude to females still shocks me. I don't get it, see no reason for, it does not make sense.
The well educated women listened politely, nodded, then said: "Something we have been dealing with our entire lives."
So fuck anyone who uses the term 'Woke'. There are people I know that I will not speak to now if I don't have to.
WOKE. Ironic isn't it, that only something so grammatically incorrect will resonate to the dumb as fuck uneducated masses. And I haven't even started on the racism ...
