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."

"Eerie Descent 6:33 Wed Nov 17 Re: Woke watch I would like to think I would have done the same in that position ED Son, it would definitely have shaped my thinking. Have a good evening. Nurse, I know you are taking the piss but... I have learnt to be more Ratched from WHO. It's served me well ;-)"

"Next time I'm about to flick a burning match at the orphanage I'd just doused in petrol, I'm going to stop and think ""Wait...what would MPI do...?"" We should all try to be more MPI."

"Always worthwhile. I refused to sing songs in assembly, as they were not in my native tongue. I'm English, and went to school in London. That's not an anecdote of a friend, btw."

"Eerie, You are the hero for being kind enough to put up with me. I bore myself on here sometimes."

"Eerie, I was vanilla even then. The only thing i got into trouble for was for refusing to take part in Religious Education in my third year as I was getting enough creative fiction in English. Caused quite a kerfuffle and was threatened with getting getting expelled. Good to make a stand if you really believe in something no?"

[Eerie Descent]

"Yeah, I will do. And keep trying to make the world a better place, you absolute hero."

Eerie Descent 6:12 Wed Nov 17 If it was part of the curriculum you might have had a point. Because it's a play you really dont. Keep getting vein bustingly worked up about it though if it makes you happy.

"MPI, you wouldn't be able to get your head round the schools I went to. It would be too much for you."

I participated in Grease the MUSICAL as a kid when my parents had to work over the summer holidays and I had to go to some summer camp. It didn't harm me. *does JAZZ hands*

"When are we marching on Parliament and lodging a claim for reparations from Italy ( Romans) , Germany ( Saxons), Denmark/Sweden etc. ( Vikings) and French ( Normans) for the invasions and enslaving our British ancestors? We need to pull down statues, demand demolition of the Coliseum and other historic sites that are symbols of the dread subjugation our forefathers suffered."

What school plays did you enjoy participating in Eerie Son?

"In fact, it's sad that we've got to a point where young people have to be told to watch things through a different lense. I can't remember anyone from our era watching a film from the 1930's and being confused as to why life 50 years later was so different."

[Eerie Descent]

"""PS Grease is a forty year old film about the 60s, if you view it through young eyes it's a completely different era and the premise is dated."" That's the whole point ffs Young people should be told that life was different back then, to watch through a different lense, and not lied to about the past. And that they THEY don't have to be offended by it. It's sad that this even has to be pointed out to you, Vanilla son."

"twoleftfeet When I read things like that or the words of sympathy to the bombers family, being told you can't say that women have a vagina, I seriously wonder whether Labour ever want to get into power again."

"bigfrank 11:20 Tue Nov 16 Re: Woke watch You seem like a fun guy with a good sense of humour...same as twoleft. Just an idle observation you seem to both get worked up about things that are half a world and even more generations away from your own circumstances. cant be good for your health. PS Grease is a forty year old film about the 60s, if you view it through young eyes it's a completely different era and the premise is dated. PPS All musicals are shit, and school productions are even shitter, you can have that for free :-)"

"A Labour MP and 30 other MPs have raised a motion that Hillsborough and the subsequent enquiries should be taught in schools. I despair of children’s education. All they are taught is left wing propaganda, how racist Britain is and now how awful the police are. I’m glad my days will soon be numbered, I grew up in the best of times."

"Scientific research grants getting more wokey The influence of Left-wing identity politics on the media is beyond doubt. That’s not an opinion, but a quantifiable fact. By counting the number of times that relevant terminology like “whiteness”, “male privilege” and “cultural appropriation” is used in mainstream publications like the New York Times, one can chart an explosion of coverage over the last decade. However, this isn’t just happening in the media. A new report from the Center for the Study of Partnership and Ideology (CSPI) looks at an area one would hope would be free from ideological influence: scientific research. The report’s author, Leif Rasmussen, uses natural language processing to analyse the abstracts of successful grant proposals to the National Science Foundation — the main grant giving body for scientific research in the US. This is the key finding: As of 2020, across all fields 30.4% of successful grant abstracts contained at least one of the terms “equity,” “diversity,” “inclusion,” “gender,” “marginalize,” “underrepresented,” or “disparity.” This is up from 2.9% in 1990. This increase is seen in every field. - LEIF RASMUSSEN, CSPI That’s a big change, but is it necessarily a bad thing? Though the CSPI describes the overall trend as “politicisation”, one could argue that science can remain objective while being made more relevant to the lives of previously marginalised communities. Scientists should also address specific issues such as the underrepresentation of certain groups in medical trials, which can lead to an incomplete understanding of the effectiveness and side-effects of treatments. Woke science"

"A school in the land of Oz has pulled out of doing a production of ""Grease"" because a small minority of students claim it to be sexist. Stop pandering to these cunts"
