    Jesus, threads like these are just an embarrassment to the entire site. Endless, childish, whining about nonsense that has a minimal effect on anybody's existence. Gibberish blown out of all proportion and doomsday tripe regurgitated with a droning monotony.

    "cultural marxists", FFS. :rolleyes:

    SMH.

    Thread isnt very illuminating

    But i do think a movement labelling themselves "progressives" is absolutely cringe worthy

    Even if we pretend that both points are entirely true, how does either refute what I wrote?

    Fair enough. Usually the word disruptive has a negative connotation attached but in this case that does not have to be the case. So if so, my answer does not.

    What insane conspiracy theory is this now?

    The mega corporations are fully on board with the WOKE agenda

    The WOKE disciples long ago accepted capitalism and focused entirely on the culture wars

    no conspiracy theory

    I hope we could ship these Russian troll inspired neo taliban to some ****hole desert so they can think some about progress of last few centuries

    the definition of " Nazi " has expanded widely

    David Quinn ( journalist ) is frequently labelled " far right " these days

    those who are sceptical about the bone fides of asylum seekers in DP are labelled racist

    You are the only mention of this person in the whole thread. So maybe you should stop labelling him far right if you don't like it.

    Basically turn everyone into social media simpletons who are offended by everything and follow mindless meaningless trends. Piece of pizz to control. Idiots who get 'offended' by everything but no values or principles of their own.

    The same tolerant woke lot probably die if they ever had an independent thought.


    The irony of the whole 'woke' brigade is they always rattle on about tolerance and diversity yet despise with venom certain groups ie Nationalists/ pro life people/ Christians etc. How very tolerant eh

    I find the projection here to be fascinating. Whole fields of scientific research are beholden to progressive agendas such as 100+ genders. History is rewritten to better suit present political necessities on such a scale as to embarrass Big Brother. Social progress is measured by women being liberated from being beaten in the home by men so they can be beaten in the ring by men. Economic progress is so great that since the era of the robber barons, has never been more lucrative to be a member of the 1%. All this under the aegis of 'progressive' politics with its constant witch-hunts for the impure and unclean.

    Whatever else can be said about 'progressive' politics, it's support is not defined by a grim determination to follow the truth regardless of who is offended. These people largely live in a fantasy world where a trans woman drone striking a muslim wedding party in Pakistan is a sign of progress.

    Society has always had it's lunatics. The real question is at what point was it decided that they should decide what is good in our society?
