A Thoughtful Reflection On Our Community.

So what is the "correct" definition of "woke", Dave?

 

If I may, I don't know what Daves version is but here is the true version by Victor Davis Hanson.

Wokeism Is a Cruel and Dangerous Cult: News: The Independent Institute

 

From a few minutes of searching definitions of "woke" or "wokeness."

“It comes out of the experience of Black people of knowing that you have to be conscious of the politics of race, class, gender, systemic racism, ways that society is stratified and not equal.”
chiefly US slang
: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
disapproving : politically liberal or progressive (as in matters of racial and social justice) especially in a way that is considered unreasonable or extreme
“we can now see why the knee-jerk dismissal of something as “woke” is so nasty; it amounts to a self-righteous choice not only to insult or denigrate others but to protect one’s ignorance and support injustice.”
It is often associated with "Political correctness."

 

Who are you quoting?

 

‘Now8ng CT, someone smarter than Victor Davis Hanson.

 

I see you have dug up an alleged history professor from Hillsdale College with an article from a South African entity. Where do you find this crap?
I took Hanson’s on line course from Hillsdale College on WWII. First, this guy is boring as hell. He sounds like he is unprepared and talks in a monotone. Second, his research is stale, like from sometime in the 50’s. He should read Rick Atkinson’s trilogy on WWII and learn something new. Rick received a Pulitzer for his first book. Highly recommend them.
I find it appalling that this fossil is teaching young people with this quality of material.

I find MAGAism a dangerous cult, but I also believe they should feel how badly they have been lied to on everything. As my Grandmother used to say, if you don’t listen, you feel. I think they will feel it good and hard. Notice Trump and his mental hospital gerbils are walking back on a myriad of his campaign promises. Told you.

 

Yeah, and the New York Times received the Pulitzer for the fake story on Russia, Russia, Russia!

Talk about cheapening awards...this administration has taken the Presidental Medal of Freedom and Presidental Citizen Award and has made them about as worthless as a toy in a Cracker Jack's box!

 

Interesting comments from posters in a thread headed "A Thoughtful Reflection On Our Community."

Just saying eh?

 

Hmmmm??

And when was the last time any of these threads stayed on topic? Never...sad but true.

 

Reading your responses used to get under my skin a little. Now they make me LOL, while at the same time having so much pity for you. (I laugh first). The hatred drips from every word you write if it's someone you don't agree with. I have said many times all these people you belittle are famous. They are on TV, write columns and/or books, yet here you sit in Sun City AZ, not published, unknown, berating everyone because in your eyes they are just plain stupid. He does talk in monotone and you have bad hair.

 

Human nature. People banter, topics change.

It's sad when people can't deal with that. To me it means they never sat around a line of folding tables and chairs in the basement with 40 of your closest relatives having Christmas dinner, that included 8 Sicilian aunts, their kids and husbands all talking, laughing at the same time.

 

Trump's giving it to Rush Limbaugh did not (opinion) add to the award's luster.

 

Sorry FYI, but is apparent you have not read the committee’s report as you do not read you would learn Russia interfered.

So you think Magic Johnson, Bono, Jose Andres, Michael J Fox are unworthy for heir medals. Oh, no it is really George Soros and Hillary Clinton because the Orange felon, the Fox News , OAN, Newsmax tell you so. You ever th8ng for yourself? Didn’t think so.

I never sat around a table with Sicilian relatives as I am of Prussian, Luxembourg and Bohemian descent. I have made Holiday dinners for my closest friends and their spouses. We laugh a lot.

 

Methinks she refers to her family.

 

Yep! Usually 5 different conversations going on, hands flying because Italians need our hands to talk, and the endless line past huge trays of homemade noodles, sauce, sausage, cannoli

 

And don't forget RINO Liz Cheney! What did she and those others do that warrants receiving those medals?

Rush Limbaugh at least saved AM radio!

 

Liz assisted in exposing the attempted violent overthrow of a duly elected government by a bunch of thugs, including prez felon and his bunch of cockroach lawyers.

Rush limpballs, a drug addict and smuggler, fornicator, reactionary, racist, misogynist and just a basic dumb shit like Hannity. Rush sold out his housemaid in that drug thing using her as a mule. Definitely a most revered model citizen. Does the vacation in the Dominican Republic sound familiar with a suitcase filled with condoms?

 

Season 2 of The Bear, episode The Seven Fishes is very Chicago.

 

You are correct T9m. I was thinking of starting three different threads. The first is This Day in Stupid Trump Quotes and the second is This Day in Stupid Trump Ideas and the third is This Day in New Trump Grifts. I only hope there is enough server space to accommodate four years of this info. There will also be a daily quote on his stock in his crappy media company.

 

He won. Get over it. He will be POTUS 1/20/25. Don't like it take your TDS and move or just suffer in silence like we did for 4 years.
