The peak woke thread (Part 1)

I could care less what you think about the source. So you’re comfortable with the content of the article? Just going to ignore it, eh? I’m not.

You also refuse to read the NY Times, don’t you?

Yes, I ignore the Washington Examiner and other obviously biased, agenda filled news sources.

I think you should burn that book frankly, and throw its author in a lake and see if she floats or sinks. If she sinks, wokeness has taken over.

Cause and effect @McNulty, you get that a virus from China and calling a virus from China will increase racial hatred and result in violent attacks against Asians by small minded people.

Where do you think non stop decades long of portraying white people as racists and countries that are predominantly white as white supremist ends. Yes that’s right, violent attacks by small minded people.

Are you justifying attacks on Asian Americans?

You spent four years making excuses for violent attacks on Americans from a small minded regime. Tell us something we don’t know. Not doing the white people self pity act thingee here.

No, I generally don’t choose to, but I don’t outright refuse. Why, do you have an article from it?

It’s been shown to you. Make your own choice, but I consider it tacit agreement.

It’s not, by any means, but you can and surely will consider it what you want. I consider it a rejection of obviously biased media sources.

I’ve sent you many articles in the past from far more credible publications you’ve ignored outright. So pots, kettles. If you have an article from a legitimate news publication I’ll read it though. Even better, we could read the book itself instead of starting from angry, paranoid critiques of woke culture in blogs.

Well, you’re simultaneously refusing to read it and attacking me for posting it, so I think my assumption was warranted. Fair enough, but if you find your way to examining the quoted and referenced material in it, let me know what you think. Until then, maybe you can leave me to post what I like without extraneous commentary.

Not sure what you mean. Anyway, the short version here is that I didn’t invite you to read this. I simply posted it for anyone who wants to read it. If you don’t want to you will normally get no argument from me, but we should not have ended up having this conversation in that case.

Here are some protests due to a hoax apparently:

Or a maximum sentence of 8 years and no prison time.

You didn’t just post an article, you described ‘woke’ culture as a religion, and another poster called people mentally ill. I replied this sort of bashing of ‘woke’ culture has become its own sort of religion, ironically.

Yes, explicitly based on the content of the article which you refuse to read. You have no idea what I was talking about, but you continue to attack me over it. Case in point, really.

Somebody is playing some major Pavlovian mind f-word games on those poor kids.

Yes. The reason wokeness is a religion and pointing out examples of religious wokeness is not a religion is not irony, it is self evident. The question for me is, why are you giving a zealot your time with so few lols in evidence?

I’m confident McNulty will see the sense of what I’m saying eventually!

Hmmm, this sounds like religious faith to me.

I think that’s the funniest thing I’ve read on Forumosa for a good while.

Well, he’d only have to admit he should probably read what I post before attacking me over it :slight_smile: Baby steps!

When I didn’t know better and it was said that CRT is an empty chair, I put in an honest effort. At this point, I’m confident that the problem isn’t just a lack of understanding of the topic under discussion…

The infuriating thing is not just how demonstrably biased some posters are (accidentally or otherwise), but how much they refuse to acknowledge it when it is irrefutable and from sources that they otherwise endorse (be it Fox, or the NYT), In this case, here is one that is obviously not a RW blog:

If only you’d understand I never ‘attacked you’ in the first place. Take the ‘baby step’ of posting from credible publications first and I’ll gladly read whatever material you post. Or even better, quote from and share the source material that nobody here ever reads! :slight_smile:

This can’t be serious, can it? You wrote this and meant it?

Yep, I won’t post just anything. It’s a perfectly good article IMO. I prefer to post the first article that made me aware of a story, when possible.

Of course you did, and continue to.

Choice is yours, as I said.

Choice is yours. It’s right there if you want.
