Woke watch

[arsene york-hunt]

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

"""There are plenty of Tory MPs and Ministers who have spoke and acted against this sort of stuff"" ....and yet it continues, and accelerates. The Tories have been in power 11 years and have an 80 seat majority. The only conclusions are either that they don't want to stop all this bollocks, or they're unable to."

[Hermit Road]

"""Sooner people realise that the Tories are just as pro- all this shit as Labour are, the sooner voting can actually make a difference"" They aren't. There is plenty of evidence that they aren't but you choose to ignore any evidence that they aren't because it suits you to. There are plenty of Tory MPs and Ministers who have spoke and acted against this sort of stuff, and next to no Labour MPs who have done so. As for me, I think politicians only have a partial responsibility in all this. Most of the responsibility comes down to us as individuals. For example, when I complained about BLM and their racist agenda, I didn't at the same time support individuals who pushed the same BLM racist agenda openly. There was a famous sportsman who said that black people should only shop in black owned shops. I don't care for that sort of apartheid so I won't put money in his pocket for a PPV event. Who did you vote for and why?"

"You act as if taking it down will do anything? You think it won't still continue? If Corbyn was in power, do you think they'd let anyone get away with a blog post like twoleftfeet suggested? In fact, under the current government, could you imagine what would happen if an NHS employee/advisor went online to tell all black employees to read an essay by some alt-right loon and buy a book on the bell curve or something? No, it'd be ruthlessly stamped out, the person would be sacked instantly and probably arrested. Rightly so, I'd say. Begs the question why aren't the Tories coming down that hard on this stuff, which I think we both agree is just as bad? Only logical conclusion is that they don't have a problem with it, and only react by deleting the evidence when there's significant outrage/embarrassment. No point blaming ""the left"" for this. The Tories have been in power for ELEVEN YEARS and its only got worse under them. Sooner people realise that the Tories are just as pro- all this shit as Labour are, the sooner voting can actually make a difference."

[Hermit Road]

"Also, who do you vote for?"

[Hermit Road]

"Mashed, This will get taken down because a Conservative minister will tell them to take it down. You maintain that voting Conservative doesn’t make a difference. If this does get taken down because a Conservative minister tells them to take it down, will you admit that you are wrong about the futility of voting Conservative or will you ignore it and move on?"

"Hermit Road 12:09 Sun Sep 5 *MY* talking point?! You posted it! Point is that all this ultra-woke, race-baiting, deliberately antagonistic and divisive and sometimes outright racist shit has exploded under the Tories. Being coerced into deleting that post due to the backlash won't change the trajectory we're on. The NHS is the government and the government is literally pushing CRT onto its employees. The reason Boris & co haven't reigned it in should be obvious: they're all for it. Dunno how much more evidence a usually reasonable bloke like you needs."

“We” work for “them”. You’re just as bad as the people sending the below email/letter or whatever it was.

[twoleftfeet]

"When I read “ Dear white people “ I think 2 things - 1) It’s like we work for them. 2) can you imagine if a letter started “ Dear black people “, would the usual suspects be screaming out racism? Dear black people please don’t go around stabbing each other. Why is the colour of our skin relevant? A little power goes a long way, time to rein it back in but not under the current clown in power."

[Hermit Road]

"mashed in maryland 11:38 Sun Sep 5 Mashed, This blog post won’t last a week. And when it gets taken down because a govt minister pressured them to do so, you will ignore it and move on to your next talking point."

"goose 11:42 Sun Sep 5 It’s ok to think that it is wrong for the biggest government employer in Western Europe to dictate what political literature its employees should read, how they should think, and how they should act, even if on this occasion it happens to chime with your own political beliefs."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"twoleftfeet 11:36 Sun Sep 5 The 85% feel that they didn't do anything to create this situation, so why the fuck should they put themselves out to correct it? Conveniently forgetting, of course, that it was them ""not doing anything), at the right time, that brought this shit to the fore."

twoleftfeet 11:36 Sun Sep 5 Re: Woke watch That has to be a wind up? When will the 85% majority in this country just stand up and say no more? Because all white people think & feel the same as you.

[mashed in maryland]

They could always vote for a Tory government to stop all this.... Oh *runs off*

"The NHS are now telling new employees what they should think, what they should read, and how they should behave in matters which have nothing to do with their jobs. https://senioronboarding.leadershipacademy.nhs.uk/blog-dear-white-people-in-the-uk/ ""Blog: Dear white people in the UK by Aishnine Benjamin, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion lead at the Nursing and Midwifery Council For white people First step. Read the short essay White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible knapsack by Peggy McIntosh, that visualises a physical representation of privilege. Robin Diangelo’s White Fragility: Why it’s so hard for white people to talk about racism, written by a white woman in the USA captures a discussion that is often missing, about what is ‘whiteness’? For white people who often don’t see themselves in racial terms. Tips: Don’t be defensive. This isn’t personal and it’s not really about you. Everybody is at a disadvantage when our formal institutions perpetuate inequalities. Don’t say ‘I’m not political’ to excuse yourself from this conversation. Right now, ignorance isn’t an excuse. You can’t unsee what you have seen. You don’t have to be vocal but do ‘listen’. Listening means being open to hearing what black and minority ethnic people are saying. Be open to their lived experiences (if they choose to talk about them). You would be hard pushed to find a black or Asian person that doesn’t have a personal story of racism. Work on your empathy. Visualise yourself in the other person’s shoes. Discrimination is dehumanisation and the only way to see a person as human is to empathise with them. Be uncomfortable. """

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/marc-bola-social-media-post-offensive-b1913983.html Middlesbrough player Marc Bola sanctioned by the FA for tweets he made 9 years ago when he was…14. Apparently the tweets made some reference to sexual orientation. That’ll teach him not to anticipate social trends and future norms.

"With all respect Capitol, you have no idea what I see, as I said, if you haven't noticed it, go and observe for a few weeks/months and see if you agree. It might be difficult as you'd need to lay off the gear for a bit to restore cognitive ability."

I think the Korean auto-correct programmers are waging a covert campaign to force Internet users to be kinder to each other. The bandstands.
