Yes, one stupid person means everyone thinks that. All leftists want communism, don't you know. Don’t be obtuse. It’s far more than one person. It’s a standard dog whistle for the Republican Party. imdb1.freeforums.net/post/277785/threadwww.vanityfair.com/news/2023/03/gop-silicon-valley-bank-failure-black-lives-matterWhy do you think a leading right-wing voice in the US, wrote a book about so-called ‘woke culture’, and couldn’t explain what woke is? She couldn’t explain it, because the word has a different meaning to those who use it as a dog whistle. She didn’t want to say her definition of woke. Why do you think that is?

Your generalisation is as impressive as hers. I don't believe something simply because someone - who clearly has an agenda - says it.

I define it as stupid Leftist garbage. I'm not gonna monitor every thing that comes out of my mouth just to accommodate some Leftist with their phony grievances. And their pronoun dictionary. And their attempt to rewrite history. And their attempt to demonize people en masse. Communist/Leftist have always employed this tactic going all the way back to the Soviet Union days of the 1920s. It's the same tactic. The words and targets of ridicule have change. But the tactics haven't.

Yes, one stupid person means everyone thinks that. All leftists want communism, don't you know. I don't see any difference in the color of the bandages. They both look the same to me. The only difference is in the packaging. What this actually is. Is a subtle way to bring segregation back through the back door. It's a variation of the separate but equal that was so common before the Civil Rights Acts.

A simple definition is ‘ridiculous pandering to minorities’. That actually is the best damn definition. That sums it all up.

Since Bethany Mandel's embarrassing response to Briana Joy Gray it's become a topic. I love Briana, IMO she is one of the last real journalists and Mandel is a stupid hack. It's not the first time she has been stumped speechless and if you're going to write a book on wokeness you'd better have a definition. Anyhow if you're going to use the word, be able to define it. I have a short and long definition: Woke: 1) weaponized victim hierarchy 2) Misuse, misrepresentation, exaggeration or invention of social prejudices to gain personal advantage or advantage for a group, or to attack a group you hate. That might be your dream of the new right wing insult, and you are righy to try to define it, but usually it is used differently. Woke = liberal. And "Liberal" is a hijacked word. It is used by the Left to hide behind and garner respectability for the social engineering schemes. And they always make sure their schemes never applies to them.

Band Aids with different complexions have been around at least 30 years. The difference is, today they give them an exclusive name, "our tone".

The term is used because it's real and has a definition. And Bethany Mandel isn't a leading right wing voice. You'd probably never heard of her prior to this.

That's why I started this thread on how to define it. Be ready for their attacks.

No one is interested in the genuine fights within it, they just look for the extreme few idiots with ridiculous agendas and make news stories out of them (media) Daily Mail in a nutshell. Plus that twitter post above. The Mail is a pure clickbait factory. Works very well for them sadly, to the point where everyone else is desperate to copy it. Bodes very poorly for the future of genuine journalism which more and more is becoming more "niche". May well end up only in weeklies rather than dailies.

Why would anyone complain about plasters of different skin tones? The reason they were designed with the colour they have been for so long (lightish pink or so) is so they are inobtrusive on a white person's skin - where the market for this stuff started way back whenever. They have skin-tone baked into their design - so why not many skin tones? Seems totally sensible. Anyone complaining about it is a bit if you ask me.

In recent years I've heard some black people and their white saviors pretend that light colored band aids are some bigoted conspiracy against dark skinned people, but options for various skin tones have been around at least since I was a kid. Maybe much longer. That's the aforementioned "misuse, misrepresentation, exaggeration and invention" I talked about.

Nobody is complaining such band aids exist, it's the description of them as "our tone", promoting racial identity... for certain people. Normie conservatives keep pretending that "We're all just people and who cares that we have different complexions" but they clearly do care, and celebrate it and openly flaunt their skin tone identity in your face.

It's not bad. I feel like something is missing in your definitions. I'll need to think about it. I look forward to hearing your input.
