What is Woke or wokism? How do you define it?[/QUOTE]Wokism is irrational equity politics practiced by those whose hatred of the society they live in transcends all other emotions. It is the revenge of the few against the many. It is the installation of power for the few against the many. They are not interested in equality or fairness for all but in severe punishment for those they disagree with, for those who they hate and that hatred knows no limit. Wokeism demands obedience to its insanity and if that obedience is not given then destruction is the punishment for those who dare defy them. Wokeism is the cancer of these times. It is everywhere, in our schools, in our churches, in our corporations, and in our political systems. It is a malicious, malevolent mindset, practiced by angry people with murderous motives. It must be defied and it must be defeated, otherwise the America that most of us with common sense know and love is gone, destroyed by those who despise her and us by extension.

What is Woke or wokism? How do you define it?[/QUOTE]Woke or wokism is a perjorative term used by those who wish to erase history and its effects on current events and status quo. It is not used by those who it is directed at. It is often used by the subjects to dodge accountability or be dismissive during debates by invoking logical fallacies. Calling someone "woke" is typically used disarm the target by invoking the logical fallacies of the straw man argument, the bandwagon fallacy, the false dillemna, hasty generalizations, anecdotal evidence fallacy, the personal incredulity fallacy, and MOST COMMONLY THE AD-HOMINEM FALLACY.

Been there done that. Their position will often times will be one of "it doesn't exist". The above statement is a great example!

It's whatever right wing media needs to rile up impressionable bigots at the moment to keep ratings up.

You can distinguish them from totalitarianists as they always go straight to name calling. No logical argument, just use of vernacular to dehumanize others (originated with Lenin's tactics related to political correctness I. E. You may only think one way, our way). They are not open to any agenda, but their own.

With all due respect gentlemen. It boggles my mind that a platform who's"sole" intent is to help mongers share information about the hobby, that a thread like this would be needed. The old Hells Kitchen philosophy in bars. "No politics no religion". I say this humbly and without animosity. Be safe and monger on!!

I not only vote trump, but also Red across lines in GA. I'm a conservative and have been called "woke" on many occasions for speaking facts about history including slavery, war, and religion. "Woke" goes beyond the binary of left / right demo / repub bullshit politics.

Hypocrite much?[/QUOTE]Ad hominem attacks, commonly called "name calling" is the telltale sign of someone who likes to call other people "woke" in a pejorative manner. It he typical of the type of people who cannot actually address the issue / argument at hand with education. It is really low vibrational, sometimes low IQ, and generally dishonest. These type of people should be disengaged because you are just wasting your time throwing pearls before swine.

Imagine a world where all the other media outlets pulled these kind of shenanigans in the name of truth and justice and promoted levels of violence unseen in modern history and then justified and downplayed it. That would be truly awful and almost unimaginable.
[QUOTE=DocHolliday35;6627027]Was there a month ago, it was all owls. If a girl tells you she's 32, she's really 45 brother.[/QUOTE]I wasn't born yesterday brother. Gave me a copy of her passport so she could travel with me.
A month is a long time ago and one day does not mean anything. I encourage others to disregard and give it a try.
