True enough.

There are many here that feel that any law or regulation regarding business is a BAD thing. Just like the Cbid wisdom on guns.

All you have to do is play Monopoly to the end and you’ll see that there is a need for some controls (laws, regulations). Else one wins and everyone else looses. And there are many who see nothing wrong with this. The term ruthless comes to mind.



So Harris is talking about controls. And the right (who cry about the date rape of paying gas prices, or $7.99 for a bag of Cheetos) will tell us that all her ideas are bad - even having never heard them.

Interesting about the “no tax on tips” thing: Trump promises this, the Left agrees (this should be a win for everyone - “democracy”) - but Trump goes off the rails. She “stole his idea”.
Next he’ll be telling us she “stole his election”…….

Here’s an excellent 15” video on Michel Foucault and the explanation of what queer is. One of postmodern philosophy / woke only definable critical theories.

11:15 long video of how intersectional (woke) studies are translated from the book and into society. This is more of a specific example rather than a broader discussion. Probably not terribly interesting if you’re not interested in how Postmodern Philosophy has formed critical mass in our institutions. It’s interesting to note that the researcher here compares this to religion. Of course it is like religion to a Godless sect. I don’t say that disparagingly but as a matter of fact.

I find myself struggling a bit with hanging all that on Postmodern Philosophy. That is the collective works of more than a dozen authors, over several decades, on every subject from Anthropology to Religion. So it sounds broad brush - like "white people are racist".

Perhaps that is convenient - it is such a large, diverse body of works that few could really say the know the subject. I get the point that liberal ideas are "bad"....



This guy was a Postmodern Philosopher, and had a lot to day:

Jean Baudrillard -

Baudrillard, known for his simulation theory, argued that the individual's experience and perception of reality derives its basis entirely from media-propagated ideals and images. The real and fantasy become indistinguishable, leading to the emergence of a wide-spread simulation of reality.

Does that make him "Woke"?

I didn’t say that this sums up Postmodern Philosophy. I said this is a singular example, a specific outcome. I’m not sure you’re reaction is fair.

jeebling wrote:

Oh. So what does the Postmodern Philosophy have to do with "woke" than? Just a causal happenstance?

Like, how white people made schools woke?

Brewha wrote:

My post doesn’t discuss this. But I say Postmodernism = Woke.

I’m not sure how you’re relating your final comment. I don’t disagree with you. Is there something more you’re asking me here that I didn’t pick up on? I’m willing to try to answer if you help me understand what you’re getting at.

Postmodern Philosophy denies that objective reality and moral values exist. That's what WOKE is all about.
Why don't you know stuff, Brew? 🤨

RayR wrote:

Some of those philosophers said that reality and morality is subjective. Objective reality; "the sun come up in the morning" was not being denied. They did point out that there are no moral absolutes - which makes the average conservative head explode.
It's no wonder you would call them names.

Brewha wrote:

So you agree with these philosophers and deny there are only 2 sexes and believe there are 53 genders?

RayR wrote:

I do not - and who said that?

Brewha wrote:

I won't mention any names, but I heard if you want to shill for the DemoBolsevik ticket, you need to choose a woke pronoun.
Them are the rules.
