Culture War and the death of “Woke”

[Anonymous]

I hate to break this to you, but woke is here to stay. Things change and you can try to push but it’s bigger than you are. Sink or swim

Caring about others and respecting their differences is not about a bad thing.

“I have ZERO tolerance for anyone who does not meet my standard of ‘caring about others and respecting their differences.’ In fact, I hate them and want them to get cancelled.”

See the problem here, PP ?

I don't have to tolerate you being prejudiced against my kid. Sorry.

We don't have to tolerate you being prejudiced against half of this country. Sorry.

Your chronology is completely backwards.

We've been cultivating our prejudice against half of the country because going back to 2016 and prior half of the country has already shown us they despise us. "F your feelings" sound familiar?

Yes, but as a liberal we’ve gone overboard with the soft bigotry of low expectations. Permitting crime in cities or letting “youths up to age 25” in DC basically car jack someone and have their criminal recorded shielded and they don’t get prosecuted. Slap on the wrist penalties. Letting people with unlimited amounts of speeding tickets not lose their license because it’s “unfair”. That sort of progressive, yes “woke” criminal justice is extremely unsafe and unhelpful.

Or in our schools, the woke idea that gifted and talented classes aren’t fair and we should lump remedial learners with advanced learners, thus forcing teachers to teach to the common denominator. This sort of woke thinking makes the entire nation dumber. I know it feels good and whatever, but do you want an engineer who was just scooted by and pushed up to the next grade and is less qualified because we have water down academic vigor? Because we eliminated neutral testing for entry to rigorous schools? No dude. That’s how you get Boeing 737 type planes everywhere.

I’m a pro-choice liberal who voted for Harris and who lives in SE DC the way. I live in a nice row house and I drive a cargo bike and do all the normal urban city sht every other parent here does, but I’m sick of the idiocy and woke policies with crime and school. It’s fking up our world standing, competitiveness and domestic safety.

As a democratic voter, I am completely aligned with your thinking. Wish our party was more reasonable and practical. Only reason I am not a republican these days is because all they have to offer is the criminal Trump.

Lifelong liberal and I have to agree as well

Same here.

Several of my adult friends grew up in China; they see the progressive movement in the USA as a similar threat as Mao’s murderous cultural revolution.

The woke left is the opposite of “tolerant.” Plus, they are violent.

Just F-off, I lived through culture revolution. It was a dictatorship, with 700 million people bowed down to a single person. Can't believe you would vote for the little doctored want-to-be after Mao. Don't tell me you also believe Li Hongzhi was the god.

Damn the auto correct.

Also after all the forced sickening and deadly Mao worshipping, you are supporting Trump? Think you are the second class white people?

Anyone that identifies as a man.

Do you apply that same logic to Rachel Dolezal? If not, why not?

Good throw back! If one identifies as another race and feels deeply they are another race - something that is not a biological construct - why can’t they be another race? But gender - which actually is a biological construct - is fluid? Make it make sense.

The only American period that is remotely close to Culture revolution is the Maccarthy era. However people did not get beat to death in front of their family by Mao's hooligans, they just lost their livelihood. Maccarthy was republican, and some of Trump's rhetorics were similar to his.

I think arguing about wokeness is stupid, it is exactly what the rich want us to do - divide and conquer. What really matters is social economics - lifting the poor out of poverty, stabilizing the middle class... Americans should talk more about class instead of race, gender,...

As part of the delusions, frameworks only apply in some cases but not others - you know, like democracy, speech, and identity. Someone please make these losers take a class in Logic.

The saddest part about this election is diversity, equity, and inclusion actually ended up being the perfect summation of Trumps coalition of voters that sent him to the White House.
