But when you use woke as an INSULT, you are agreeing that you don't recognize racism and discrimination as injustice since that is real meaning of the word. That makes no sense, robosmith. Sorry.

CdnFox Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 1 hour ago, robosmith said: You guys have purposely distorted the meaning to turn it into an insult, because its real meaning is an INSULT TO YOU. It became an insult when those who ascribed to the original meaning turned into deranged lunatics who insisted on policies that were insane if not just dangerous or unfair in the name of their ideology. It became a symbol for the radical lefts intolerance and adherence to deranged thinking. Imagine trying to claim that it's impossible for blacks to be racist because they're black which in and of itself is a racist position. Imagine seeing that if 6 foot 3 male wrestler should be allowed to beat up a 5 ft 9 female in the name of inclusion. Imagine saying that there is no biological difference between men and women. And on it goes. The people who claim to be woke were so utterly deranged and insane and driven by their own version of religious fervor that they became symbols of everything that's wrong with the left and the name stuck. That's on you guys, that's not our fault 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Just cause you can't figure out plain English only means it's an idea completely alien to YOUR way of thinking. Let's try a different TACT.

I understand the English part. It's just not logical. The truth is I actually don't use the word 'woke' myself very much, if at all, but one can use it as an insult without condoning racism. It easy. You just use at as an insult and also don't condone racism. Quote Let's try a different TACT. What discrimination do you hear alleged by the LEFT that you disagree is discrimination? Where do I start? How about the idea that it is discriminatory to not allow a male to compete against women? Edited March 22 by CouchPotato Quote

AFAIK, the only males that are allowed to compete with females in organized sports are trans who take hormones that greatly reduce any advantage. If they are roughly equal in physical capabilities why shouldn't they be allowed to compete? Quote

The real definition of woke's history (whatever that means) is the past tense to wake. The definition you are referring to is a counter-culture slang term. People began using it a certain way and it gradually took on that meaning. Then people on the right started using it their own way and now it is also an insult for leftism whacked on crack. Simple as that. Edited March 22 by CouchPotato Quote

Of course NO ONE uses "woke" in a political context to mean "past tense of wake," so that is IRRELEVANT. Only what you call the "slang term" is at all controversial. "woke's history" is the use of the term in a political context which you can find by googling it. The term acquired political connotations by the 1970s and gained further popularity in the 2010s with the hashtag #staywoke. Over time, woke came to be used to refer to a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBTQ rights.

So there was a word "woke". It was the past tense of wake. And then some people on the left started using it as a slang term to refer to their own self-perceived enlightenment about social justice. In order for it to get that context people had to begin using it that way. And then some people on the right took the same word, and started using it to refer to the people (and the ideology of the people) who call themselves woke. Edited March 22 by CouchPotato 2 Quote

"something else" solely as an INSULT, and completely unrelated to "awareness" which is closely related the real word woke as in woke up. The right wing INSULT is completely DISHONEST. Quote

Yeah, you'd think there would be a law against this or something. If you think about it, the bastardization of the term woke is itself a societal injustice. And you, robosmith, have raised my 'awareness' to this injustice. I feel a bit more enlightened now. I might hesitate to call myself woke, but I do feel like I am stirring a little, as you shake me out of my slumber. Quote Might just as well use the term gobbly gook Do you mean gobbledygook? That is a good suggestion. I think it is a perfect word to describe leftist ideology. But do you know gobbledygook's history? It was coined on March 30, 1944 by a Texas politician named Maury Maverick. No kidding. Look... Quote gobbledygook (n.) also gobbledegook, "the overinvolved, pompous talk of officialdom" [Klein], 1944, American English, first used by Texas politician Maury Maverick (1895-1954), a grandson of the inspiration for maverick and chairman of U.S. Smaller War Plants Corporation during World War II, in a memo dated March 30, 1944, https://www.etymonline.com/word/gobbledygook And it seems Maury was a Democrat, so we kind of have the same problem here. 3 Quote

What was wrong with pizza? Why do people have to keep doing these horrible things to it? Pizza was not broken. Now everywhere you go you see things like quinoa and cilantro stuffed pizza with Tibetan goat cheese and kimchi.
