I think Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) defined the woke well enough:

"They just view themselves as special. It’s selfishness and in that respect it’s divisive and can only lead to trouble. I can’t believe that TV stations give some of these lunatics the space. Where is this “moral majority” nonsense coming from when they’re basically the ones doing all the wrong for being so bloody judgmental and vicious against anybody that doesn’t go with the current popular opinion?"

Lydon also blames wokeness on ‘horribly, horribly tempestuous, spoiled children coming out of colleges and universities with $hit for brains’.

Ya, that's it, that's what they learned in high school science and history classes too.

I take it that you didn't go to college. The way I see it, there is nothing political about the 163 credit hours it finally took me to hone in on my finance and economics majors, law degree or other education. I was taught to always consider both sides of every issue with an open mind for other people's best interest. How about you?

Are you woke Robert? What were you driving at by staring this thread? Where did you get that definition of "woke" from?

Just asking. Angel

There are people out there who have more credit hours than you and are complete morons or evil to the core so I don't generally equate college credit hours with a measure of intelligence or morality. So again, what are you driving at?

Sorry to bust your bubble, Ray, but I was close to a 100% self funded student (other than scholarships). I even sold my business to afford part of my education. Basically, I pulled myself up with my own boot-straps. The American dream, if you will. One could say I spoiled myself.

Credit hours don't measure intelligence or morality, but can "teach" both. They do help measure exposure to an amount of learning about different/new things and ideas. Not anything else. That universities make students "woke" is a fallacy. No college professor can brainwash students.

If caring about other people, paying my taxes to help those who need it, giving other people a break or leg-up when they can use it and the like is "woke" by your definition, then yes, I am.

I started this thread to poke fun at the overwhelming use of the word "woke" in derogatory ways.

Man! They sure fooled you in skool you old wokie. Paying your taxes helps pay those that don't need it or those that the politicians want to buy votes from.
You don't need the gubment to give other people a break plus you don't have to worry about how the bureaucrats skim off the top.

As the late great Harry Browne said, “The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, 'See if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk.”

It's laughable that you could think school fooled me- now the joke is on you.

And, Harry Brown? That quote has nothing to do with any of this. You simply changed the subject towards your diatribe schtick about government, corruption, taxes and the like. Your a very smart guy. You can do much better.

I just put two kids through different colleges over the last six years. One has five years in and has even chosen to continue on for another three or four years more. And, he won't be brainwashed one bit (beyond what my wife and I have done to him-LOL). Despite having some whacked professors along the way, neither were "victims" of academic liberalism. It's all about what one makes of it, not the subjective faults in academia that some people magnify way out of proportion.

It means what it says son. The government is only good at one thing, their meddling in the economy causes problems and then they'll come back and claim they can fix those problems (without admitting they caused them)...at an additional cost of course. They cause economic hardship and then they'll claim they have a plan to fix it as if they are like a charitable organization. Just got to sell a bill of goods to the voters (suckers) and convince them their taxes are being used for good things.
Unlike the market which has to create value to create demand, progressive government creates failure to create demand. If it wasn't for government failure, their graft machine would come to a halt.
Just look at the BUILD BETTER BROKE plan with all its unconstitutional and doomed-to-fail federal programs and the sop to politically connected grifters.

alert to injustice in society, especially racism.
"we need to stay angry, and stay woke"

Robert there is an interesting dichotomy with this definition. Those that call others wokes think they are insulting people they call wokes. Those that are wokes use the word to compliment others. I find it hilarious anytime throws what they think is and insult, and in reality it is a compliment.

Spey, I use "woke" in the derogatory sense since it is a construct of the left.
They use being woke as a rationale for violent stuff like burning buildings, assault, and robbery in seeking their so-called justice.

Sounds like you would prefer to make illegal their right to assemble (their being anyone who's position is left of yours).

On looters, rioters, muggers, murderers, child rapists, and people that put their f*cking seat back on the airplane?

I think they deserve to get their ass kicked at the very least, but would hope they get arrested, prosecuted and rightfully punished as they should.

With that said, I bet you're the azzhole that puts their seat back on the plane aren't you?

You have to remember though... there are (looters/rioters) and (protesters)...

Yes, some of them might belong to both groups, but you cannot disallow people to assemble because some of people in the group might do something unlawful.

That's unAmerican.

OK but as of late it would appear looters,rioters and protesters on the left are one and the same...Umm yes you can and I think the difference is quite obvious to LE

You're unAmerican for supporting people who go out intending to do harm........BLM,Antifa so on and so forth

That's a weak azz gaslight attempt.

I supported the q-tards and trump-tards (I'm assuming they're one in the same) right to assemble outside the capitol (I still do support their right to assemble outside the capitol)... but I don't support them storming said capitol and attempting an insurrection.

It's the same f*cking thing as the protests have attract looters and rioters you would want to demonize and strip of their right to assemble.

Let me generalize it so it's perfectly clear for you and anyone else who is clearly q-tarded.

Let's say for A' in A, where A is the set of all assemblers and A' is the subset of A that composes lawful assemblers, B is the set of bad kids that may or may not exist in A where some may be both protesters and looters in cases where B intersect A is not null, and B' may or may not have bad kids that didn't exactly show up for the protesting where B' not in A.

In such cases, I support the right of group A to assemble.

Luckily we have a very well documented case that happened to happen on Jan 6th that fits the generalization nicely.

Hopefully that helps.
