Current Affairs Intolerance….

"Why do the people we have shat on for over a decade, keep calling us naughty names?"

"The world is less tolerant now, mate. It's nothing to do with us"

It's everybody else's fault... I'm alright Ja....

Wouldn’t people being tolerant of intolerant viewpoints be paradoxical?

That definition is as old as the hills mate.

The swastika was once upon time recognised as symbol of religious divinity...

What is the 'new' definition of woke, then?

Some nerve kicking this thread off.

They weren't slaves you know.
They came to take up well paid employment.
People of colour UK have a totally different history to fellow people US.

You're a child. misusing words you've heard from grownups.

Certainly events like the Scottish independence vote, Brexit, the demise of Labour over this period will have played a part, but I’m sure in real life people treat others in a more tolerant manner…or maybe they don’t….

I wouldnt tolerate you for more than 30seconds in real life.

So you get vastly more leeway online.

Been reading some of the threads and posts back in 2017 when we started this part of the Forum. It is quite noticeable how more tolerant and even handed posters were back then. No following the crowd or groupthink, just views and comments from individuals as people saw them. A pity we’ve lost that as intolerance seems to have taken over every debate…..

What does being woke mean, to you?
