Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

I always try my best to be a critical thinker. As I said, it has been weaponized and feel it's doing more damage than good.

Shouldn't the people weaponising it be the ones to push back against and not those it helps protect?

I believe all political extremes have weaponized it, not just far-right. Cancel culture and condemnation of whites are just some of the way I feel the left have weaponized woke. Wokeism is a complex issue. It's divisive. It divides people, which is why I'm no longer a supporter of it.

I thought you were very subtly taking the pish earlier. I was wrong.

It really isn't an 'ism'. It is just about staying alert to injustice. Some idiots went too far with it granted but not people in power like the GOP have weaponised it.
When the choice is right wing extremism or hearing people being called out for not using a pronoun as over the top as that can be I know which side I'm on.

I have never felt condemned as a white man so I'm not sure where you get that from tbh

I'm not on any political side. I'm on the side of people. If more people had less of a proclivity to be one or the other, then I know we would be in a much better place.
I dislike discussing politics or religion, so I'll take my leave.

Totally irrelevant whether ancient Romans did the salute or not. More relevant is that this 'Roman salute' has been popularized in modern culture, as it has on popular TV shows depicting ancient Rome. Personally, I think Musk was trolling. He is deliberately provocative. He knew what he was doing.

Did you use the wrong account to respond to this?

So which side are you? The ‘be kind to people’ bishop or, the ‘minority hater’ trump??

That is a specific example! The bishop clearly, I really do not agree with deporting USA citizens by birthright

Took them less than a week to get the ball rolling on this one. Naturally, it’s been carefully worded to make sure Obama isn’t eligible to run again.

Obviously it won’t ever get ratified by the proper Constitutional means, but if SCOTUS rules to allow him to alter the 14th Amendment by executive order, all bets are off.

Matter of time that, Trump is a power crazed lunatic. The only thing that will stop him is mortality.

When you say it divides people, what you mean is, it separates those that want equality and fairness for all (the ‘woke’) and those that don’t.

The fact that you have fallen for the ‘woke is evil’ narrative is quite sad.

Have a look who is really being decisive and preaching intolerance and you might have a bit of a shock.

Glad you found it funny. At least it wasn't in vain.

Cheers.

No thanks. I'll stick to my opinion. Free thinking is a wonderful thing isn't it.

Cheers.
