Woke watch

Post 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."

"Greta Thunberg has been taking part in a five-day protest blocking the entrance to Norway's energy ministry to protest against wind turbines. Miss Thunberg was specifically demonstrating against wind turbines built on land traditionally used by indigenous Sami reindeer herders. ""Indigenous rights, human rights, must go hand-in-hand with climate protection and climate action. That can't happen at the expense of some people. Then it is not climate justice,"" she said while sitting outside the ministry's main entrance with other demonstrators. Norway's supreme court in 2021 ruled that two wind farms built in central Norway violated Sami rights under international conventions, but the turbines remain in operation more than 16 months later"

There was a thing in the paper about schools teaching ‘gender neutral’ terms in foreign languages. But surely that’s impossible? My Italian is terrible but there are feminine & masculine versions or words - nothing in between. How would Sam smith cope?

"Bond Goes Woke! https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21516916/ian-fleming-bond-novels-reworded-racist-material/ Ian Fleming’s classic Bond novels have been re-worded to remove racist material “This book was written at a time when terms and attitudes which might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace. “A number of updates have been made in this edition, while keeping as close as possible to the original text and the period in which it is set.” The changes result in some depictions of black people being reworked or removed."

"Read today that there is an upcoming reboot of Starsky and Hutch with the characters, wait for it, Sasha Starsky and Nicole Hutchinson! The film with Stiller and Wilson was crap enough. I would rather watch Glaser push Soul around in a wheelchair fighting crime that this woke reboot!"

"A US diversity officer who claimed to be of Latino, South Asian and Arab descent has been outed by her own mother as “white as the driven snow”. Muslim activist Raquel Evita Saraswati, 29, is the chief equity, inclusion and culture officer of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organisation that fights globally for peace and social justice. But her mother, Carol Perone, says she has “chosen to live a lie”. “I call her Rachel,” she told The Intercept, adding that she was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel. “I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing. I’m as white as the driven snow and so is she."

"Mad Dog 1:23 it was a masterpiece. Very cutting, accurate in it's depiction of them and to the point but viewed through their classic lens of toilet humour and analogies with what the kids were doing at school. So farcical that the couple don't even have grounds to really complain about the 'Prince of Canada' and his 'stupid wife'. Even though they deny they were considering a lawsuit, which I bet they were, but realised it would make them look even bigger arseholes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64730600"

"That South park bit is from years ago. They also did the trans women competing against real women too. By using macho man randy savage as the trans woman. And made no attempt to make him more feminine. Last week they nailed meghan and Harry in the episode ""worldwide privacy tour"". It was glorious."

This is also partly a side effect of these jobs being filled with childless middle aged women who feel a compulsion to meddle in everything for the sake of it. If they never had these jobs they'd be writing complaint letters to neighbours and calling the police on kids playing football too loudly. They can't help it.

"goose 12:44 Sat Feb 18 Oi, I'm a midget,,,, and deaf,,, and if someone censors See No Evil Hear No Evil I'll be livid! ;-) Seriously this is all going to create a generation of pampered individuals with absolutely no idea how to handle criticism or life's challenges. What next? A future similar to The Stepford Wives or Logan's Run? A bet they will censor Jenny Agutter in the buff soon!"

"The Soviets burned books as well, and ideologically that's much closer to what's going on. Also the Romans, Greeks, Chinese, Byzantines, even the allies in post-WWII Germany. Effective way to assert power. All its about in the end."
