Wokeism of the day *Revised Mod Note in OP and threadbanned users*

The indefinitely Incarcerated.

Labelling some prisoners in the UK as criminals is not technically correct either.

Any freedom fighters or politically motivated prisoners are not necessarily criminals?

Kivaro

"Prison Users" instead of "convicted criminals"? That's the reason why they are in prison; they were convicted.
I think we have reached a new level of wokeness.
The Labour Party in England is made up of a real bunch of woke loonies. A lot of them sound like they are on marijuana all the time ..... aka "Pot Users".

An oldie but a goodie.

A grievance studies hoax perpetrated by 3 respected academics to expose woke culture within social science departments, in US universities, from where it has been steadily disseminating into the broader culture.

One of the hoax papers hypothesised that men should be trained similar to dogs to prevent them from becoming rapists ( which received positive peer approval )

https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/hoax-papers-the-shoddy-absurd-and-unethical-side-of-academia-1.3655500

One of the three, James Lindsay, runs an excellent website countering the awfulness emanating from Critical Social Justice. The wokish encyclopedia is a particularly good resource for deciphering the ongoing assault on the English language.

I wonder if Climate Science is suffering from the same poor standards?

Fuck me.........

It's worse that that.

I have been getting vibes off wokists that prison should be about rehabilitation, not punishment. And anyone who gets a sense of satisfaction from those being sent to prison need to 'check themselves'.

Dawn Butler Labour MP argued some years ago, live on air on BBC Politics show, I watched it live, that women should not be sent to prison in many cases. She argued that the crimes women were involved in were mostly conducted in association with men. Erm, sure, a man made me do it, had no personal vested interest myself.

Unsurprising I can't find a link to this on the BBC website. I'm regret I didn't record it.

Our weekly Teams work chat has a bit at the end where we say what TV we’re watching.

I’m watching The Terror on RTE - loving in, dark though so far.

Got told “I saw the first one of that. I can’t believe it was made - no one of colour and an all male cast!!!”

I told her it was set on a exploration ship looking for the North West Passage in the 1840s. “So you’re saying no minorities could have done that ???”

You can’t win with these folks!!!

They would be totally delighted with Mary Queen of Scots on Netflix then, which I watched last night. In historical context, the amount of people of colour in that film is a bit distracting. You are trying to imagine the storyline back in the 1500's but the film's Director seem to just include black actors in scenes just to boost the inclusivity quota. There was one scene where the Queen of Scotland and the Queen of England met at a secret location and the only other 3 people in that clip were people of colour. It just detracts from the believability of what they were trying to portray.

For the craic, I just checked some fun facts on Wikipedia about the movie:
The movie portrays the English ambassador to the Scottish Court, Lord Thomas Randolph, as a black man, which he was not. Gemma Chan's character is Elizabeth Hardwick, who in real life was white.
But it is all explained here:
Director Josie Rourke told the L.A. Times: "I was really clear, I would not direct an all-white period drama."
Jesus wept.

Damn white people history .............. with all their white people :pac:

Funny how the non-western (Africans, Arabs, etc) people at the ports which gathered and launched the slaves into other countries are never accused of the same. Nah.. collective responsibility only extends to white people.

They always seem to skip the part that is was Africans who captured their fellow Africans and sold them to the white man for slavery . Lots of Africans made a fortune and still are off the slave trade . But that wouldn't sound to good when you're trying to race bait a crowd

Harold Ford Jr. is a former U.S. congressman who served from 1997–2007 in the United States House of Representatives as a member of the Democratic Party.

He was recently interviewed about the incitement of insurrection with President Trump.

He says it’s a rental house. Well, Mister, I took down the pictures that were hanging in my apartment when I moved in, stored them for the landlord and hung up my own things, and the art that was in my apartment when I moved in was inoffensive. I cannot imagine moving into a place and thinking “Ah grand, I’ll leave the picture of Mao up”. People might think it was his, even in a rental place. So I’m not sure I believe his story.

Amid the global debate about race relations, colonialism and slavery, some of the Europeans and Americans who made their fortunes in trading human beings have seen their legacies reassessed, their statues toppled and their names removed from public buildings.


Nigerian journalist and novelist Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani writes that one of her ancestors sold slaves, but argues that he should not be judged by today's standards or values.

Interesting that they're not so fast to condemn people of their own kind when they are involved in the same actions as others they are quick to condemn.

The Scottish Conservatives have dropped a Holyrood candidate over what they called "unacceptable comments".

his comments were in response to a Channel 4 News piece featuring foodbanks.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-55673808

"We have no real grasp of just how ridiculously overweight the population is.

"I'm not saying that every single person who claims to be really hungry and is reliant on charity is also very overweight.

"But what I am saying is if Channel 4 News is having a reasonable go at showing the reality of food bank usage, then we know the people that they filmed are far from starving. If anything their biggest risk is not starvation, it's diabetes."

On Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, who has called on Boris Johnson to review the UK government's free school meals policy, Mr Ross said: "Has Marcus Rashford stood for election to anything? Not that I'm aware of."

It's like BLM , they'll march , protest and riot over the handful of police killings every year but you won't hear a peep out of them , when thousands are shot dead including dozens of kids in gun violence in their own communities annually.

Sure you will, but the blame/responsibility won't be placed on Black people. It's happening because of hundreds of other reasons all aimed squarely on how White people have treated them. It's the same with the rate of fatherless families in the US.. it's not a problem to be solved, but an indication of how White people have screwed Black people, and their culture.

Black people are victims. As such, they'll (as a group) never be held accountable or even partially responsible for what's happened. It's always someone else to blame. To say otherwise is victim blaming, and also, in this case, racist.

So this is how deep the rabbit hole goes. First it's hate speech but now it's morphing like a virus into 'unacceptable remarks'.

I’d be all ready to dismiss that as a parody if I didn’t already know a bit about Oger. The only thing that could be questioned is if Oger really tweeted that as it seems to be a screenshot. But some of the actual tweets that I’ve seen by Oger are every bit as batty so it’s believable.

1 - Fair point, I don't have Twitter so I don't know. But Biko's last three or four points have been Twitter woke-ismd without any discussion or follow-up debate.

2 - Poe's Law was made for **** like this!

Transgender woman is first to be able to breastfeed her baby


But from a legal standpoint, Oger is correct as far as legal rights and protection from discrimination relating to breastfeeding are concerned, in the district of British Columbia in Canada. It’s a purposely vague statement though - it’s true, but an explanation as to why it’s true by providing context would have been helpful. I don’t imagine their intent is to be helpful though, the tweet seems constructed to get a reaction.

The actual tweet ODB. I had to wade through a lot of stinky rude weirdness to find that on Oger's timeline. And it's not even 7 am! In a Saturday!

Myself I don't think that nursing a newborn infant with milk laced with high doses of Domperidone, a drug known to cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias, should be medically permitted in order to facilitate or fulfil some people's gender-affirming fantasies.

I'm beginning to think people can't read English here, or just want to believe something a bit too much.

Leaving this one here. I've explained the use of the word priority twice now, and if people can't be bothered doing the same then there's no point in even reading their rosoinces.

Is there a word to express the opposite if woke while still possessing the ignorance of the woke? It's like antifa being anti-fascist but still being fascist themselves.
