Of course being woke he offers no thought out argument to back his assertion, because simply saying it is enough for the wokists. This, among many other reasons, is why all genuine leftists should see wokery as an abysmal regression. I mean where would woke be without Twitter!<br /><br />Another few things to add to the list of horrors in the midst of all this amplified wokery,<br /><br />Jullian Assange literally rotting in British prison cell for exposing imperialist war crimes (clearly being fitted up, and clearly one of the world’s greatest and bravest souls). I remember a time when anti imperialism and anti racism went hand in hand on the left, people like Asquith are certainly on a mission to de-link those two! Another mission of wokery I guess.<br /><br />Staggering levels of homelessness, with a predominant proportion of those people being either black or dark skinned. Get off Twitter for a minute, stop calling people racists for no good reason for a minute and and try walking around your town centre at night to see what I mean.<br /><br /><br />BCFGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-68385639881246831092021-06-28T12:46:44.475+01:002021-06-28T12:46:44.475+01:00«quite staggering to see all this amplified wokery...«<i>quite staggering to see all this amplified wokery [...] ruling class interest are shoving it down our throats like there is no tomorrow.

This response puts the neo into liberalism. I often think the liberation struggles of the 1960’s were really about dismantling this collective spirit and paving the way for Thatcherite individualism. Still I have to admit having that liberal reaction!<br /><br />One thing to mention beside the fact that British people are not quite as flag waving as they are made out, they are also perfectly indifferent to LGBT, the vast majority literally couldn’t care less. The vast majority accept LGBT people and their rights. What the vast majority don’t really swallow is all the gender bullshit that comes along with it. Woke is permanently outraged by human frailties and weaknesses. So what someone said on Twitter 10 years ago. Woke is decidedly not interested in anything fundamental, like stopping migrants dying at sea.<br /><br />It really is quite staggering to see all this amplified wokery in the midst of a culture which is literally killing the planet, causing a mass extinction, relying on global south cheap labour to supply it with the shit they absolutely do not need and seeing refugees go through all sorts of tribulations.<br /><br />Woke is used by all sorts of unsavoury organisations and characters to give some semblance of respectability to whatever disgusting shit they are involved with. Woke is utterly retrograde and a step back into anti science, anti reason. The fact that some knuckle dragging far rightists hate it should not make us blind to this.<br /><br />So, for example, every advert on TV is now a reflection of Woke. Woke, far from being shunned by the establishment or the ruling class, is enthusiastically embraced by these elements because it allows them to further their interests (eg wars of ‘ideology’, internet censorship, draconian law and order etc etc etc) and in the process gets idiotic liberals on-board too. The Tory war on woke is a figment of your imagination incidentally. I mean Theresa May is the Queen of woke!<br /><br />So it comes as no surprise that a nauseating little jingle should also jump on the woke bandwagon.<br /><br />And mark my words that bandwagon is only rolling because all sections of ruling class interest are shoving it down our throats like there is no tomorrow.<br /><br />I always agreed with Marx on this, beware the bourgeois bearing gifts; when that happens you know something rotten is afoot.<br />BCFGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-57788080237034390822021-06-24T10:09:29.712+01:002021-06-24T10:09:29.712+01:00Not a lot of people know that this rather excellen...Not a lot of people know that this rather excellent 'Nazi' anthem...<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNMVMNmrqJE<br /><br />was written by a pair of Jews specifically for Cabaret. <br /><br />'Do you still think you can control them?'
