Woke Culture: Have We Had Enough?

[Khandro]

Oxford Union debate just now, enjoy!

[tomus42]

Has anyone watched that video? If so, get a chuffing life. Khandro, you seen like a decent person. Just argue the point yourself is all I'm asking. Stop posting links to things.

[Arksided]

For smegs sake... I'd at least have a laugh at harry's book.

[Khandro]

tomus, //Stop posting links to things.//

How dare you tell me what to do ! If you don't like videos, don't watch them, - creep!
Videos do not infringe in any way Site Rules, in fact there have been thousands posted on AB & I refuse to give a synopsis of mine for the lazy & simple-minded.

Khandro, I am neither lazy nor simple minded, but I come here to read and to respond to what I read. If I wanted to watch videos, I would go elsewhere. Posting videos is fine but providing a synopsis with them is a simple courtesy - and generates greater response.

[Khandro]

naomi: Both those videos are entitled; 'This House Believes Woke Culture Has Gone Far Enough'.

Is that not a sufficient synopsis of what they might contain? Both are about 10 minutes in length & if you, or anyone else is not interested in the subject, then don't watch it, - simple.

[naomi24]

You're the lazy one, Khandro.

Can't a bloke catch some zzz's 'round here?

[Khandro]

Remember, Kiskin's speech was here on AB first if you wanted.
It has now officially "gone viral" with more than 50 million word-wide hits.

Offered to you, it received on AB from those who refused to listen;

"A bunch of over privileged toffs debating modern culture."

"You need to stop posting links to stupidly long things that nobody's got neither the the time nor patience to listen to. Just make your point yourself."

" students of Oxford university aren’t generally representative of the vox pop."


"All I know about Konstantin is that he's not the Messiah..."

And all this in AB's 'society and Culture' categories.

Wither AB ?

Isn't "woke culture" just another name for political correctness? And isn't that just another name for treating others decently?

[andy-hughes]

I have just watched Toby Young's contribution, and again, he presents a very powerful argument that the 'woke' generation do themselves, as well as their causes, more harm than good because of their strident condemnation and aggression, which does nothing to persuade the silent majority of the rightness of their position

[andy-hughes]

sandy - // Isn't "woke culture" just another name for political correctness? And isn't that just another name for treating others decently? //

It's not that people would argue with the causes of the woke culture - the desire for fairness and equality and the eradication of prejudice and hate - no-one on their right mind would argue that those are anything by desirable objectives.

What sets the 'wokes' apart is their insufferable superiority and condescension - the unassailable arrogance of their 'canceling' and their scorn and hate poured on anyone who dares to question them.

That is why the consistently fail to secure a proper hearing and a chance to listen to what they have to say - because they are too busy denying those simple rights to anyone else, ironically, since that is supposed to be the root of their ideology in the first place.

“Woke culture” is what the far right currently call what they used to call “cultural marxism” or “cultural bolshevism”…. which was a conspiracy theory used by nazi propagandists…

it’s just a method of rebranding far-right ideas and getting the population to believe in them… and it has sadly been quite successful
