the eternal 'victimhood' of Woke......that is its most enduring feature. And the selective nature that the media deal with it. its like, this video footage of a dying soul is a shocking travesty, meanwhile the other dying soul, over there, is invisible. why does Woke seem to have so little sympathy for the elderly or wheelchair-bound ? and meanwhile Woke goes off and creates other 'victims'. Victims whose only 'disability' seems to be that they are an under-represented Gender, sexual-orientation, or Ethnicity. does the Victimhood of 'LGBTQ/BLM/Women' seem to outweigh cancer-sufferers , the severely mentally ill or fellas crippled in industrial accidents ? LGBTQ/BLM/Women.....Graham Norton, Wilfried Zaha, and Liz Truss can hold top jobs and earn millions....not exactly victims, are they ? Fake victimhood seems to have mesmerized the public and floored us. Woke is the stroppy pre-teenage girl in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory......stamping her foot and having a tantrum cos she is not being treated like a Princess. But there is nothing trivial about Woke. It is the giant Octopus that is undermining and killing Western Civilisation. Its main target is the Nuclear Family and the Straight white man( the so called 'Patriarchy'). Woke has already transformed parts of Sweden into a crime-ridden hellhole. But only the mentally-deranged cannot see through the lies & hyprocisy of Woke. Women's under-representation in lucrative Boardroom jobs is decried with a screaming hissy-fit.....women's under-representation in the Trenches of the Ukraine War ? silence.

I'd strongly suggest Progressivism, or the current movement which adopts this moniker, attracts those who are already sincerely lacking in the 'brains' department. In other news, it seems that there is a 'Free Speech Chief' in academia who is now addressing certain issues - [Link] A few quotes from the BBC article include: "The stifling of free speech at English universities is a serious cause for concern, the new free speech chief at the Office for Students (OfS) has told the BBC." "He said the UK had fallen significantly in an international index ranking academic freedom in the last 10 years." "Prof Ahmed has said he would defend the right to peaceful protest, but made a distinction between peaceful and disruptive demonstrations." - In relation to Oxford students protesting against a gender critical speaker.

When woke meets corporate interests. Woke loses everytime. Speech gets controlled via economic incentives: The threat of losing career options, or being fired shapes the discourse and thus speech environment. I have very little sympathy for woke fruitcakes....However, it's always been the case that the 'truth' is what the powerful say it is....regardless of what you might think as an individual.

A good example of why universal suffrage is not the best idea
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

I hate politics in football, taking the knee or showing support for one country or another or some cause. Keep politics out of football.

Is this 'woke'? Falls within the category of entirely narcissistic, nonsensical, embarrassing, pathetic etc. so I'd count it.
