It doesn't exist in the sense that those are results that are temporal in nature. If you ask someone born in the southern part of Spain under the Moors about 'white privilege', he laughs at you.

The problem is privilege, which lacks a color.
I certainly agree that racism is a mechanism by a privileged class to subjugate the non-privileged. But in the USA over several generations it has been white privilege at the expense of blacks. To be sure, things might have been different 1000 years ago or in a different location but I don’t think that is relevant to an African American living today, 50 years ago, or 150 years ago. To them it’s always been white privilege, not black privilege.
 
Well summed up.
Honestly what a pair needy rich bastards they are.
I don’t know if I could dislike them more than the rest of the Toffs but there’s something particularly offensive about they way they go about things. If you are that virtuous give your money away to the ones that need it most or shut up and crawl back under the rock you came from. How they can’t see what disgusting pigs they are is beyond me. The fact people lap this crap up is equally sickening.

Damn right, they should follow his uncles lead...
 
They certainly do (and always will do to an extent) but what are the left genuinely doing about it my friend ?

Instead of pushing for better education for those in deprived backgrounds, giving them more support and financial assistance - they seem more concerned with debating gender pronouns and talking about white privilege which is why I cant take them seriously anymore.

We can knock up a vaccine in less than 12 months against a novel virus, put a man on the moon, create nuclear weaponry/fusion yet cant put a few quid more in peoples pockets ?

If the Left made everyone financially secure how many faux middle but really working class would start voting Tory as a result ?

If the Right didn't scaremonger people into thinking dem foreigners are coming for their jobs how many working class blokes would continue voting Conservative ?

Everyones having their kecks pulled down and cannot see it. I've transcended past the point of politics I'll never vote in another election again be it local or general until the left/right axis is no more.
It's a bit hard when they're not in power.

Do you believe 'The Left' to be one huge hivemind entirely focused on the subjects you mention? Their are thousands of 'left' groups that spend considerable time and effort pushing for better education, support and financial assistance for people from deprived backgrounds and really don't focus on gender pronouns or white privilege.

It's like saying I can't take Spirituality seriously because every single one of them is ringing them little finger bells, chanting and then setting up sex cults. For all your talk of being open minded you seem absolutely desperate to pigeon-hole political leanings into ridiculously narrow cliches.

I actually feels sorry for them so self obsessed, they can't see the damage they are doing to themselves.
Why didn't they just go away if that's what they wanted.
Pop up in the odd magazines. Talk show earn a few bob and just plod along with live a nice life .
There have dived right into a cess pool of there own making.
Not really bothered with Royals either way,
they are there like cornflakes in the morning they exist , i see them quite a lot,
but I don't give them a second thought most of the time.

I just struggle with the amount of paedophiles they hide in that palace. Just doesn’t seem right?
 
Being Woke inevitably you have to hold liberal ideals but being Liberal doesn't mean you have to be extremist which the woke are.

Its like a centre right Tory voter being labelled the same as a full on right wing Tory indoctrinated Rees-Mogg. Yes both will have shared beliefs but they're not the same thing.

Its not your fault though as society/the media has brainwashed you into thinking left = good, right = bad or vice versa - It's not all black and white.

As a centrist I personally believe in both left and right ideas/policies but in moderation as too much of either side doesn't create equality.

An example of that is I agree with some things Jeremy Corbyn says and some things Nigel Farage says however both turn me off in the fact that they're both too far down the rabbit hole on their respective sides to ever convince me they could create a better, fairer society.

Until Liberals realise that sharing some beliefs with the Wokeys doesn't mean you're one and the same these extremists will continue to damage their image/message at the polling booth.
This guy satires.

Top notch.
 
The sheer term WOKE is comical, it alludes to being enlightened and aware AND active on the genuine issues that matter most in the world.

Nearly everyone who thinks they're woke are clueless most are inactive besides a couple of posts or an updated picture on social media but hey it makes them look informed or caring or enlightened - very few are any of those.

So called WOKE agendas are by and large driven by special interest groups or off times big corporations or NGOs.

The anti WOKE agenda is similarly a great way to distract from things that actually matter a hell of a lot more to the vast majority of people's lives.

What WOKE originally meant doesn't actually matter in reality it's what it means now and how it's used which is of relevance.
Everything has pretty much been turned on it`s head as George Orwell wrote.
Antifa are fascists.
Hope not Hate are divisive.
Anarchists are the establishment on the streets.
etc etc
 
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
