Title: WOKE
Post by: hugh on February 19, 2022, 04:22:09 PM
Woke a word commonly used but where did it come from, and its meaning. From what I can gather it started in a university by young extremist trying to block freedom of speech. Twisting what some one says into something completely different. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Politically correct rubbish. Hijacked word for an invented expression so progressive types can self-justify their obvious moral superiority..

They destroy the careers of those they disagree with though. Look at the business with JK Rowling. She couldn't attend the 20th anniversary celebration of her own character. Many have found themselves cancelled. It needs stopping.

as long as those who should be against this rubbish - university staff, politicians, even the police continue with their spineless acquiescence there is no chance of stopping it
