    You could see this anti-woke bullshit coming a mile away.

    One little segment of the population goes far left, outraged about everything...

    Then the entire right come in swinging like a toddler having a tantrum.

    It's all nonsense. All irritating. Fed by all the rage bait on social media.

    Sadly though have seen the real world repercussions of it all, people losing jobs or work over bizarre identity politics. Seems everyone is getting put in their little categories for a more divided and shitty world. Both sides have fucked it for everyone.

    • How does intersectionality NOT divide us? Surely, pointing out all our individual oppressions solves nothingIanbolton
    • Does wokeism propose full-scale nationalization, abolition of private property, radical weath redistribution?palimpsest
    • Wokeism is to US Democrats what the Tea Party was to Republicans. It has nothing to do with the far left.palimpsest
    • How far left do you have to go to be deemed as far left?Ianbolton

    These comments just show how "woke" has become totally meaningless. Because the origin of the term was very much referring to anti-black racism during the BLM protests, now you guys seem to think it means people pretending to be gay or something.

    @drgs Unfortunately conservatives at least in the USA aren't nearly as reasonable as you seem to think...here's a typical conservative discussion on wokeness.

    The comment calling for a mass shooting was deleted but you can see the general level of the discussion. Whatever the word originally meant it's devolved into hysteria about the gays and drag queens coming to get them.

    • What you're doing there Yuekit is hypocrisy and its a symptom at the heart of all of this discussion. Attempting to broaden the meaning and demonise the word..Morning_star
    • ...'conservative' as something inherently bad is exactly the same as the baggage that now comes with 'woke'. It's semantic bullshit.Morning_star
    • A decade ago the phrase 'his politics are right wing' would be nothing to get anyones knickers in a twist, now it means something close to a Nazi. 'Woke' is...Morning_star

    An easy way to define woke:

    True share of gay/trans people worldwide is around 1-2% (this includes closet homosexuals). This has probably been this way thought all times.

    LGBT identification in US in 2023 is 7.5% (openly gay/queer).
    (5.6% in 2021.
    4.1% in 2016.
    3.5% in 2012.)

    So, you have a difference of 5-6% which constitutes a layer of cultural parasites, people who are "identifying out of heterosexuality to gain the perceived cache of an oppressed minority" © i_monk

    And, to add to that, who in the end will potentially end up hurting the original 1-2% gay core by the bad PR they bring to the table.

    Similarly with race wokeness which is almost always represented not by people of color themselves, but by some lilac-haired intermediaries.

    Basically these "intermediaries" represent the woke horde.

    This makes all discussions about wokeness very confusing because it feels like you're attacking the original 1-2% core of gay people, but in reality eveyone should understand: all critique is targeted at the woke leeches.

    • I don't know. 7+% seems high to me, anecdotally, but it's a leap to assume half of those are lying about being gay without a bit more insightFax_Benson
    • Assume that the real share of lgbt in Norway was 7+% in 2011. This means that 85% of all gay Norwegians were in the closet in 2011. I really, really doubt thatdrgs

    • You keep complaining about “LGBTQ” becoming a longer, more inclusive acronym and then are surprised when more people appear to fall under that flag?scarabin
    • No, I am perplexed as to why half of millennials (my age) are in the closetdrgs
    • You really imagine folks are sucking dick and then after taking a load in their mouth are like “sike, i’m just doing this for the upvotes”?scarabin
    • This I also want to find outdrgs
    • When I think about it, they are not doing anything/not having sex/share of virgins is approaching Japanese levelsdrgs
    • Maybe because the millennial community isn’t as accepting as gen Z. I mean look at you. Who would wanna come out around someone like you?scarabin
    • This graph shows exactly this -- share of people who have not had sex

    • ...and be immediately labeled a “fake queer”?scarabin
    • That's my working theorydrgs
    • Did you post the wrong graph? It sounds like you’re suggesting there are some folks not having sex and that they’re all secret fake queersscarabin
    • Clearly a trend

    • Uh huh. And you’re suggesting those are the fake queers?scarabin
    • They’ve given up sex so they can dye their hair and drink bud light?scarabin
    • I am. But what came first chicken or the egg? Are people identifying as lgbt because they are not having sex, or the other way around?drgs
    • Whatever it is, its the same country which has "no homo promo" and "don't say gay" laws, same as Russia. America is a truly sick societydrgs
    • You’re assuming a true correlation when there’s no evidence to support it so your question is loadedscarabin
    • I asked you for your theorydrgs
    • Asexuality is a form of sexuality and folks are becoming more comfortable coming out as whatever nowscarabin
    • Maybe look at japan like you mentioned, for other socio-economic factors. Assuming they’re all fake queer agents of woke is a bit paranoidscarabin
    • The japanese virgins do not hide behind LGBT labelsdrgs
    • Right, which is another reason why assuming all asexuals in the US doing so is sillyscarabin
    • "LGBTQRSTUV" keeps getting longer because the LGB organizations of the 70s–90s needed to stay relevant. Nearly everyone after the "B" is straight.i_monk
    • Just to save you the time drgs, Scarabin won the argument like 25 posts ago. There's no need for you to respond againbogue
    • I identified as asexual too, because I wasn't ready to accept I was gay. Some of these identities are coping strategies for gays and women seeking to avoid whati_monk
    • tends to come along with being gay or a woman in a straight society. The rest are tumblr affectations and social contagions that did not exist until 10 yrs ago.i_monk
    • Spicy straights are now larping oppression having never faced the devastation of HIV, being denied housing or a job, denied equal rights, etc, and can (and do)i_monk
    • fall back on their straightness whenever it's convenient.i_monk

    • I would venture a guess that younger people are closer to/in that experimentation age. they're more open to considering it today than people were 30+ years agocotton

    • The devastation of HIV is from all the unprotected, stupid buttfucking with strangers, so don't play the victim card here.crazyprick
    • I’m bi and in a straight LTR. That does not make me any less bi. I always have been & still amshellie
    • But being bi is the least of my problems. Sexuality is something you can hide in public or work. I’ve had my share of oppression as a Black woman in America.shellie
    • Shellie, I'm not trying to undermine your experiences. 'oppression' as a broad definition means unjust treatment under the guise of government authority.hotroddy
    • What have your experiences with oppression been in California if any?hotroddy
    • feel free to avoid the question if it's too personal. It's not every day I get to ask this to someone who feels this way and I genuinely want to learn.hotroddy
    • I have faced extreme abd sometimes scary forms of oppression and racism even in california, yes. Down to ky 5th grade teacher denying access to advanced classesshellie
    • To being followed for being in a biracial relationship and holding hands in public. Si yes opression based on race exidts even in “left” states.shellie
    • Im surprised i have to explain that to someone. Black people are not imagining this experience. we are being shot and killed for our skin color all the time!shellie
    • Im 100% sure with my AAA credit and offers of full years rent up front, race had to do with me being denied housing by an owner/landlord but cant prove it.shellie
    • But i was first to view and put in an offer, still lost to another offer put in after me. Just moved on after instead of fighting it. Fight woulda cost me $.shellie
    • For the record @hotroddy most of california are not democrats thats just a few cities. Go 40 miles to places like Redlands and you might as well be in Texasshellie
    • Left leaning counties in CA are more populated and have more voting power. But Ive been screamed at with the N-word & ran off the road just miles from my house.shellie
    • And that incident happed while up in the mountains maybe 75 miles from my house in LA (Big Bear).shellie

    In the early morning hours of March 25, 1911, an obscure but pivotal event unfolded in American history that had a profound impact on worker's rights. Known as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, tragedy struck as a devastating fire broke out on the upper floors of the garment factory located in New York City's Greenwich Village. The factory employed predominantly young immigrant women who worked long hours in harsh conditions for meager wages. The fire quickly engulfed the building, trapping workers inside due to locked exit doors and inadequate fire safety measures. The catastrophic event resulted in the deaths of 146 workers, many of whom perished due to smoke inhalation, burns, or by jumping out of the windows in desperation.

    This unknown event galvanized public outcry and ignited a wave of activism for improved worker's rights and safety regulations. It served as a catalyst for significant labor reforms and spurred the growth of the labor movement in the United States. The tragedy brought attention to the exploitative practices of the garment industry and prompted the establishment of numerous factory safety standards, including fire codes, building inspections, and workplace regulations. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire remains a somber reminder of the sacrifices made by workers in their fight for fair working conditions and the subsequent advancements in labor rights that emerged from this dark chapter in American history.

    I remember in late 90s in our class we would discuss a wide range of wild topics, which are unthinkable to talk about it in schools today.

    Which made me realize: One really bad aspect of cancel culture is that people who refrain from voicing their opinions tend to seek out other likeminded people, who share the same opinions, forcing people into each their own camp.

    I mean, as if America wasn't fragmented enough, this really is not going to help

    • Live and let live unless you want to oppress a marginalized group then fuck off you piece of shit.whatthefunk
