Snore.... they ain't woke, they're one of the only media outlets in Canada who oppose them in fact they are being canceled by the woke, that's how not woke they are you are free to disagree with them all you want but the way they are treated by the woke cancel culture pervading Canada is appauling Tara Henley saw that dynamic at the CBC, when they went after Chappelle and she rightly gtfo of there Edited January 10, 2022 by Yzermandius19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeitgeist Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 The same thing is happening in universities. If you don’t accept radical left views you’re painted as a right-wing lunatic. Debate is treated as some kind of trauma triggering event. The fastest way to destroy people’s reputations and careers is to paint them as racist and/or misogynist. Our Prime Minister demonizes people he disagrees with this way too. It’s a sick and dangerous game, defamatory too. Inquisition anyone? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisition anyone? more like the Chinese Cultural Revolution but the Inquisition is also apt the universities are where most of these activist journos picked up their wokeness it's not just in the universities either, the public schools are rife with woke bullshit as well education as a whole had been captured same with media Edited January 10, 2022 by Yzermandius19 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myata Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Take pretty much any storyline, topic in "progressive" (so called) media. Always it's on the same blueprint: a heartwarming anecdotal, "kick off" story; a cute and intelligent wise and bearded or female "expert", professor somewhere etc (qualifications are rarely discussed or focused on). And an ugly, aggressive better still, violent opponent, "anti"-something. Here you go, narrative's all ready for public consumption. Label, brand it noisily, loudly, in your face. Ivermectin, a broad anti-infectious drug given a Nobel prize for discovery, in mass clinical practice over four decades a "horse dewormer", not so bad eh? Who said it has anything to do with l-ying only your "information". You want to see isolated episodes but it can very well be a progression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked into every case that is submitted as an example of 'wokism gone amok' and 80% of them are trumped-up nothings. The PM plays hooky on Reconcilation Day and plays in Blackface and wins elections anyway. I doubt you could express liberal views in a trading room or a construction site very easily... let's stop clutching our pearls here.

myata Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Not having an honest, open conversation on any essential issue. That seems to the essence of the problem.

One clear way of knowing you're a woke if you see any case of exploitation of positions of power and responsibility to promote woke views as entirely normal, and all filtering out, ignoring, and in increasing number of cases, suppression of different views as non existent. Once in it, it's exponentially harder to return back to normal not just because someone is forcing them, but because they stopped seeing and understanding normality. Only a pathetic symptom, treatment can be complicated in these cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Wokism is an idea. You can counter it with other ideas or play it up to be the worst plague on the history of mankind ever. The playing-it-up stuff is what we're seeing more than the former. Just like "the war on Christmas" and "gay marriage is the downfall of our society"... this bogeyman too will pass soon enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardner Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Interracial marriage was probably thought to be a fad at one time... Dylan said "the times they are a changin'" It's happening again. These are ideas - nothing more. If you think they are bad then counter them. You have little faith in public moral discourse I guess. And why would you discuss with somebody you believe to be a knowing liar ?!? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that naive when the public gets this delusional they don't snap out of it when confronted with logic the woke are anti-reason they claim reason is white supremacy and the public is woke the last time the public of a western nation went race commie it took getting destroyed in WWII to make them rethink that lunacy only the shit hitting the fan will bring an end to this craziness rational discussion isn't going to change their mind anymore than it changed the Nazi's mind Edited January 10, 2022 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
