"Woke" is what leftists see, not what everyone else sees.

There's a difference between looking for respect and dignity and looking for personal time with other people's kids. Do you not see the difference?

It doesn't really matter if they keep to themselves. I would be more than happy to leave them alone, but they have to swallow their agenda and keep to themselves. I will let them be if they keep to themselves.

I wore a mask only where required and then I threw it in the trash the second I was outside. The freedom from the mask was delicious.

Wrong. Blacks are biologically black; trans are not biologically trans. Blacks are not insane for saying they're black. Trannies ARE insane for saying they're the opposite sex. I AM letting them be. What I'm not letting them be is my kid's story teller during story hour. If they want to read stories to other people they can read stories to consenting individuals. If they want to share their pronouns with other people, they can do that in gay/tranny/woke friendly places.

I don't have a problem with blacks in general, so that first part of your post is irrelevant. One would have to be insanely racist to go and say such things.

Masks are like a secret code to alert Covid enforcement that you're part of the hive.

For leftists they are. Just like guns are murderers.

That's too favorable for Woke. The definition below is more accurate and true to the spirit of what "Woke" really is. Woke, "adjective (woker, wokest) informal alert to injustice and discrimination in society, especially racism: we need to stay angry, and stay woke; does being woke mean I have to agree with what all other woke folks say should be done about issues in the black community? the West Coast has the wokest dudes. 1960s: originally in African American usage" (OED). To be "woke" stems from the Age of Enlightenment, when "enlightened" atheists rejected God, challenged the Divine Right of Kings, and started the calendar over at the Year 1. By the 1920s and 1930s, "enlightened" Nazis regarded God and Jesus Christ as a "Jewish conspiracy" that even Jews and Marxists did not believe in. Woke "knowledge" is esoteric, for example holding firm the maxim that "religion is the opiate of the masses." So once a "true believer" casts off the opiate, they become "woke" or "enlightened." David Greenfield describes it as "a cultish term for a political cult that reframes extremism as a revelation." In modern America, leftists often use the term to refer to a person unquestioningly accepting a radical political doctrine viewing society in terms of "white privilege." Just as Christians who find inner peace by accepting Jesus Christ into their lives are called "born again", some people who feel great anger at society because of what they feel is social injustice are called "woke." In truth, however, those on the Left who claim to be "woke" (which is incidentally an improper use of English) are actually the exact opposite - stupefied and dulled to the truth instead of being awakened.

DeSantis is the man. He should get a Nobel for flying border crossers to Martha's Vineyard, where he knew they would be loved, pampered and quickly dispatched to some other place not in Martha's Vineyard.

TreeBeard thinks weeping nonsensically in the forest is dignified.

I'll kick this off with the first vote.

Oops, we've got another wokeness disciple pretending to not be woke. lol

Detroit is the perfect example of that - it's a complete wasteland now.

I don't think so. If you need to address a problem, you go to the heart of the problem. Her speech was probably an appeal to keep men out of women's sports.

That toilet of a city has gone completely batsh!t. San Francisco, too.

There's blame to go around here. Given how punitive California can be against language it doesn't approve of, the state should've never let that book into its school systems in the first place. The teacher was wrong for full court pressing the student.

A stark reminder that parents need to pull their heads out of their a$$es. That figure should be around 3% or less across the board.

Not in schools. Those kinds of conversations are best had within circles of friends, the parents, or therapists depending on the severity of the situation. People are investing way too much expectation in the school systems when the schools should really be teaching kids about basic subjects and helping parents teach their kids how to behave in civilized society.

You are Islamophobic when you're equating Conservatives to certain aspects of Islam; the rest of the time you're defending Islam - Leftism is a pretty f*cked up mindset when you think about it. I'm willing to bet that you are more communistic or socialistic than you are actually democratic. I would say you're a fascist at heart, as I'm sure you bought into Barack Obama's fascistic "Change we can believe in" for the US.

It's super important. These people are making moves that they NEVER would have done even 10 years ago.

That's right, you "tar" the violent loonies and let the rest of the loonies enjoy their underworld, away from normal society. See, we're not that different after all.

But that wasn't a protest - it rarely is. Anytime a guest speaker with an opposing view comes to visit one of these looney bins, the guest is either verbally threatened, physically intimidated, or campus security is called because someone's mobile safe space has been invaded by a visitor's opposing point of view. The trans community is insane, and it needs to be treated as such.

It's an epidemic, that's for damn sure. It's why those of who are still normal need to step up and deal with these people directly, and often times even harshly - it's really just a matter of fighting fire with water.

Yes, go figure. I noticed you oppose the violence aspect of activism, but you support EVERYONE'S freedom of expression. How does that work in the Riley Gaines situation?
