Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[LostLegend]

This is something I meant to bring up earlier. The concept of and 'Wokeness' and the people who throw such phrases around not actually knowing what it means.

Essentially, people who have ideals or beliefs that are not compatible with a modern society will often throw the word 'Woke' at anyone seeking to challenge them on their behavior.

Call someone out for being racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or sexist and they'll call you woke.
It's not though, really. Calling someone out for being any of these things is being a decent human being.

They may also throw the term 'snowflake' at you. This coming from the same group of people who are offended by teabags (LINK) and shout at the TV because they think there are too many people of colour in todays adverts...

Look at the state of that. When people complain of freedom of speech being taken away but 2 poultice like that can be broadcast chatting away whatever insane nonsense that comes into their heads.

Are there better grifters on the planet than tele-vangelicals?

Taking great joy in being 100% right about this.

What a mental country we are to fall for this.

Great isn't it, I've be banging on a year about this and I'm finally proved right.
