Is Wokeism The New Religion?
91 Answers
There are many terms and dogmas associated with, '' Wokeism,'' and I don't profess to completely understand them all.
Some of them are :-
Diversity, Integration, Equality, (D.I.E.)
Virtue Signalling.
Gaslignting.
Subconscious racism.
White privilege.
Victimhood.
Phobias of all colours and hues.
Intersectionality.
Mysogyny.
Homophobia.
Transphobia.
My simplistic understanding of all of the above, which is not exhaustive, is that the major problem, is the white, ''privileged,'' (whatever that means), male.
So, without me supplying more information, what do you think?
Has, ''Wokeism,'' become the new religion?

//Blacks shouting racism every time it suits their purpose to gain an advantage.//
Theland, you aren't doing yourself any favours here...
If you are referring to positive discrimination, (something I never agreed with, until AB educated me).. . You must realise that the idea is to reduce favouritism, not increase it. If not, can you give examples of where non-white people, say, have a genuine advantage? I think you are seeing it about individuals personally, while ignoring the rest of the picture? But I will wait to see how black people in general have taken over "the advantage" ...

"Technically, going by the Merriam-Webster dictionary's definition, woke means “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)”, but today we are more likely to see it being used as a stick with which to beat people who aspire to such values, often wielded by those who don’t recognise how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact."

Positive discrimination, is racist.
We should be aspiring to equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome, so if ethnic minorities aspire to fulfil their ambitions, then being colour blind should be a contributory and helpful factor, and anything remotely racist is a hindrance.
The chief executive of the John Lewis partnership is a black woman. She attained that position purely on merit, and is a shining example of strength and independence of spirit without the need for discriminatory help.
On the other hand, the BBC and the police, have both engaged in positive discrimination and favoured blacks over whites, which is clearly unfair on white students who have worked hard to gain a degree, and have their ambitions thwarted because they are white!

Looking at that Guardian article, I am disgusted at the inference that actor Lawrence Fox is anything but a decent upright proud British patriot, when in fact he has clearly been a victim of the Wokism that is pervading our culture.
One of the reasons he has launched a new political party called Reclaim, not with ambitions to form a government, but to remind the Conservative party that votes are loaned to them, conditional on them standing up for our values, and standing against the Leftism, like Antifa and the Globalists who are such a threat to us.

Leftism and Wokeism go hand in hand.
Diane Abbott and Dawn Butler along with David Lammy are mouthpieces for disgruntled black culture, whether it was the riots following the shooting of the violent black gangster Mark Duggan, stop and searching black gangs because of black on black murders, or complaining about the numbers of blacks in the justice system, who have gone to prison, of course having gone through the apolitical courts.
Rather than allow the justice system to unfold without interference, these noisy representatives see it all as racism in action, and I believe, undermine respect for the system by continuously looking for racist motivation in everything done by the authorities.

'' You must realise that the idea is to reduce favouritism, not increase it. ''
Pixie - Regarding the quote from you above, then first of all how, in any enterprise, do you know there is favouritism?
And if favouritism is identified, then those showing favour are not doing their job and selecting on merit, and should be removed themselves for not selecting talent in favour of skin colour.
It is a thoroughly bad idea, embraced of course by those on the left, whose drive is always for equality of outcome rather than opportunity.
It is also a very divisive idea.
My family is multi racial, and the prevailing ethos is for recognition of merit, not favours based on skin colour.

G'afternoon Theland........I realise that at the moment you are probably still in bed. You spent a few hours last night composing and typing your spiels for answerbank. Well it was a way of wasting time whilst waiting for POTUS (not Godot).
Anyway, now to answer your 02.53am communication.
I am unable to read minds and, if I could, yours would present great difficulties. Strange you should suggest reading Gas Meters because I never failed to establish facts from them in years gone by, unlike the supposed words of God which you read and believe are true in the Bible.

The suffragette movement aspired for both, but still required the approval of men. And even then just those women who met certain criteria. Box ticking?
I suppose that was a woke movement that you disapprove of or do you just write your garbled cow crap mid sleep?

Fear?
I think not.
As this is an anonymous site, I am completely free to speak from the heart without embarrassment or hindrance, (I would so speak anyway anywhere anytime), I can tell you that the only fear I have is what will happen to my family when I'm gone, (they rely on me quite a bit).
As far as I'm concerned, my future is assured, without fear.
