Are you woke?

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.”

That is how normal society works,
Woke is a mandate to accept dysfunctional behavior as normal
The pushback comes from the mandate of forcing

Even better is when they make their videos denouncing Chick-fil-A and they will now go to Cane's.

Is 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 great country.

Lobbing woke as an insult ranks right up there with saying I am tall and handsome.

I am tall.

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.
That may be the singular most absurd misrepresentation of WOKE I have seen.
I hope it was meant to be funny.
It would be funny we’re it not for the fact the FAUX media corporation has defined WOKE as anything threatening the assumption male white supremacy is god’s plan.

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 ...
There's a reason why Aussie women (and Brits, and EnZed) travel either alone, or in pairs to other parts of the world.
This is the same reason why Canadian, and USAian men are so welcome to Australia and EnZed by the female population.
Sure Canadian and USAian men are complete assholes, but not as complete when it comes to women as Aussies or Kiwis.
We don't generally assume that if a woman smiles at us as we walk through the door, that we're going to get laid. Sure we have a spark of hope, but we don't consider it a done deal.

Floridians are looking at jacked up home insurance rates, to the point that large companies are abandoning the state in droves leaving the state to pick up the bill.

Drinking water is fast becoming scarce, Miami and other areas are frequently under water and the Gov has started an unnecessary war with one of the states biggest employer and reasons for tourism.

Why isn’t the GOP focusing on any of these problems? Why just bathrooms?
