Why the GOP is obsessed with "woke" — but can't define it

Well, if that is what turns you on... have fun with it.

We'll just all be over on the other side of the thread.

Undoubtedly, she was reflecting concepts obtained through secondary sources. Unfortunately, this trait is prevalent among numerous contemporary leaders, resulting in a domino effect where ordinary individuals emulate this behavior daily on the internet.

I get it now!

Woke = pornography!
 
I'm just going to point out that we're nine pages in and Oleg still hasn't defined what a woman is.

It's true for everyone. None of our beliefs are our own. All the content in our heads is all memes transferred from somewhere else (or instinct). It's just a really good habit to continually question the beliefs we hold. That's why it's so dangerous to hang out with people who we share opinions with, or to only read news that validate our prior beliefs. It'll truly make us dumber.

This young woman is not uniquely stupid. She's just a normal person displaying the dangers of being in an ideological bubble. The journalist caught her off guard because the journalist have had a lot of practice doing exactly this. And if you think you'd have fared better when being questioned like that... lol.

Also... she's at university. The one place where we're allowed to have crazy beliefs. The place is litterally a creative workshop for beliefs. By design. Where we get to experiment and try out new (often crazy) ideas to see how they fit in our brains.

Haven't you noticed; the people who loudly pride themselves with being indipendent thinkers are always the dumbest fucks?

Well, if you disagree with the consensus, you are either a genius or an idiot. In the same way that if you buy a lottery ticket you are either a millionaire or a couple of bucks less wealthy.

It would be brave to the point of foolhardiness to assume that you are in the tiny fraction of contrarians who are geniuses. Though of course, some tiny fraction actually are. And everyone likes to hope...

Among the first economists were the Physiocrats of France. They claimed the basis of all economic systems was agriculture. All else was parasitic on agriculture. Even Adam Smith mentioned thiss theory. A young Cambodian studying in France read about this and took that idea back to Cambodia. He became a vey early member of the Khmer Rouge. The basic foundation of the Physiocrats became the economic theory of the KR. Who decided to rid Cambodia of parasites. A case of a little knowledge being a bad thing.

Not anymore, not at campuses in the USA anyway;

Stanford University has apologized to a Trump-appointed judge who faced an embarrassing protest by a woke student mob - joined by the school's dean of 'equity' - after he was invited to speak at the college's Law School. Judge Kyle Duncan, from the fifth circuit of appeals, was ambushed by associate dean of equity, diversity and inclusion Tirien Steinbach during a discussion Thursday night. Steinbach - a former ACLU lawyer who previously defended free speech - initially claimed Duncan had a right to express his views. But she then launched into an impassioned six minute speech - which she had written down - condemning his life's work.

You guys are very confused. A university isn't the place where you have absolute freedom to have crazy beliefs and create workshops for those. That costs money and resources. A university is a place where you get a degree and then use that degree in society. Getting a degree means you will have to learn some things and creativity might be a part of the education, but being a complete fool won't get you rewards or earn you a degree. You have to actually learn some of the material, not reject everything under the sun.

Now on the other hand, there is a place where you are allowed to have crazy beliefs. It's called the Daily Mail.

Also, Church, Republican Presidential Inaugurations and Twitter.

If it was common it wouldn't have made the news on an entirely differant continent.
