Perspektiv Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 43 minutes ago, Americana Antifa said: You hate woke, but can't define what makes something woke. Woke used to be an awareness of social issues. Growing up for me, it meant more specially, an in depth awareness regarding racial injustices. Tupac Shakur comes to mind. He had a very in depth awareness of the issues within the black community. What truly made him woke in my opinion, was his awareness of all the lies he had been told, as well. IE he had realized he had been raised to hate the police, but recognized he had only been shot, robbed and assaulted from the hands of his own community. So he wasn't reciting talking points. Many of today's woke, enforce social justice behind computer screens. Are angry on the behalf of others. I saw BLM marches, where there were white people in cities like Baltimore, destroying businesses that in some cases, belonged to black people. This is what many view as the type of woke person who has to educate others all the time, but really don't know much about anything. This is the derogatory SJW version of the woke movement. Extremely loud, angry, but really doing or accomplishing nothing. I don't hate woke people. Its just hard for many to take woke people serious, when they sound like the above. I had a friend that if you would talk hockey and mentioned Patrick Roy's 500 some wins, they would have to correct you with an exact number, including the playoffs. I don't mind correction, but at this level, it's more of a "okay, work on your social skills first and activism second....".. 1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said: So again, case by case basis. There still is an unfair advantage, unless you strictly stipulate one can't compete unless they have not undergone puberty. This would be deemed as discriminatory, as you're essentially stating that some trans women as an example, are more women than others. I get your point, but to me, you either allow all trans people who have undergone hormone blockers for a set time frame, or none. None is more sensible, when factoring unintended consequences.

Would you also agree that hysterical hatred against LGBT people is reactionary? And silly. Though I would also say that things like drag queens reading to children is largely being done to be deliberately provocative against the right wing. And much of the transgender debate seems similar and hysterical on both sides. The fanaticism of the pro-transgender side is beyond the pale, especially with the constant threats of violence and rape against women who object. On 3/27/2023 at 1:19 PM, Americana Antifa said: The NY Post is far-right and prints fake news. No, it's not. It's certainly conservative, but it's not 'far right', though of course, that's a subjective description. You can't simply label everything that's on the right side of the political spectrum 'far right' and have any reasonable discussion. Further, there are such mountainous positions staked out by the major media these days that you simply will not read about something that goes too strongly against the agenda they're pushing, or toubles their narrative too much. Stories like this rarely or never appear in centrist or left wing media, any more than you'll read or see news features on large groups of black flash mobs pillaging stores, malls, fairgrounds and the like. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. On 3/27/2023 at 1:19 PM, Americana Antifa said: Give me some examples of left-wing media doing a story about a culture war non-issue the way right-wing media does literally every day. That's not how it works. What the right-wing media does is expose and condemn the excesses of the Left. What the Left-wing media does is trumpets and celebrates those excesses. Likewise, you'll find the mainstream media largely ignoring police shootings of White people (especially if the police are Black) but wallowing in stories of police shooting Black people. Which is why, in this case, ESPN, owned by Disney, will include a male-bodied individual crushing smaller, weaker female opponents in a celebration of womens history month.

Perhaps true but I didn't insult you at all so I'm not certain why you bring such examples up. 1. "Academia is almost entirely governed, guided and controlled by the far Left. " The "far left" to me is anyone who is devoted to anything left of Democratic Socialism. Traditionally, Marxists, Leninists, Maoists and so on. And as Slavoj Zizek asked Jordan Peterson - "Who are these Marxists you are talking about ?". Peterson couldn't even answer, of course, because he talks out his ass. But I wouldn't attribute all academia to being like him based on his behaviour/comments. You're talking about social progressivism but it's such am amorphous phenomenon that it defies assessment. Is someone who believes in same-sex marriage far left ? I can't begin to figure it out.l 2. Not the insult part, just the nonsense part. Obviously you're dealing with a cracked actor so why continue and invest time ? I value your posts, and don't have you on ignore but it's hard to tie an argument to trendy culture war talking points, sorry. So I just blip by them.

I don't think that was the case initially but it certainly seems so now. We came upon a drag show reading at a park, and my kid seemed interested so we stopped awhile then moved on. I don't think it was announced. I wouldn't want to bring my kid to an announced event in this climate. 2. It depends on the arena. There are lots of places where reasonable discussion happens. But there's no incentive, lately, for people to be reasonable. 3. Liberal media or left-wing ? Left-wing media that focuses on progressive issues only ? I can only think of Xtra or The Adovcate which are LGBTQ magazines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up for me, it meant more specially, an in depth awareness regarding racial injustices. Many of today's woke, enforce social justice behind computer screens. Are angry on the behalf of others. So this is a common righty talking-point. It basically goes that the civil rights movements of the past were good, but the ones of today are bad. And then they'll say "woke" a lot. The truth is that literally everything conservatives are saying today were said back then too. All of the lies about BLM being violent, even though the vast majority of their marches are peaceful, that was said back then too. Most "woke" people just being virtue-signaling white people, that was also used back then. No, they're not "angry on behalf of other people." They see injustice and want to fix it. I want to end transphobia. The fact that some trans people, like Blaire White, like transphobia because she profits off of it means nothing. She's wrong. And really, you can tell this talking-point is bullshit because of how inconsistent it is. If I'm against transphobia, I'm "angry on behalf" of trans people. If I want to end classism but I'm not rich myself, then it's that I'm just angry at rich people. It's a bad faith point that conservatives use to deflect. This is also why Republicans never define "woke." They can't openly admit that they're against justice. So they just say they hate woke. That's why nobody can define woke anymore, it's lost all meaning. 3 hours ago, Perspektiv said: This is the derogatory SJW version of the woke movement.

You’re just a radical Marxist-Nihilist. Transhumanism is an assault on humanity because it puts ego and tech above nature and all else. Mutilating children, violating women’s private spaces, and taking away women’s athletic opportunities is not progressive. Each individual is a human worthy of basic human decency. No one should harass a trans person, and I think that there are reasonable ways to accommodate for washrooms and provide athletic opportunities. Stop pretending to see fascists and Nazis where reasonableness exists. Your positions are the most authoritarian I’ve seen in a while.

Today's GOP is all about reactionary authoritarianism, which is fascism. Whether or not they honestly want fascism is beside the point. If all of their politics are fascist, then I'm comfortable calling them fascists.

Like I said, its widely accepted to remove or cancel something because you're offended by it. It doesn't matter that what you removed, is a beacon of hope stemming from someone who ended slavery. Activists wanted a slave to be portrayed with dignity, ignoring the times where they were seen as subhuman. This was a statue created in the late 1800's. Just the sheer lack of logic to keep the times in mind, or just maybe, the artist wanted to depict reality with their art, considering the gravity of the moment. Wanting to see history in a way that doesn't offend you, is delusional at best. History is offensive. Sorry, but vandalizing statues that offend you, is precisely the level of "activism" that rightfully so, gets ridiculed by using "woke" in a derogatory manner. 2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said: But only the Right is trying to erase the past. I've presented you evidence of otherwise. I can present more, if you would like. 2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said: Blaire White regularly does fake news videos that make trans people look bad. Sorry, but Eli Erlick has done a wonderful job at making themselves look bad. I wouldn't be worried about the suicide being fabricated--the elephant in the room, was if their victim was abused or not. If they had been, the lack of suicide is irrelevant, in my opinion. 2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said: and you accept that some trans people will not have an advantage Only trans people without an advantage across the board, are male trans individuals. You don't see such people scrambling for athletics positions. I wonder why. Biological men, have zero business competing against biological women in sanctioned or competitive sports. No exceptions. Its already hard enough for women to make a living playing sports--last thing they need, is to have whatever scraps they have, removed by people who aren't even biological women. That's not equality. Its erasing women, or what women used to be for 99.9% of human history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
