Gosh, I wish this was not true but unfortunately, it is! SO SAD...

You know what it is, OM, but since you feign not to know....

The tyranny of woke: CHRISTOPHER BOOKER explains how a campaign against intolerance turned into the most intolerant ideology of all.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8060751/CHRISTOPHER-BOOKER-tyranny-woke.html

Goodness, the only ones who use "woke" on this site - and they use it a lot - are the ones unable to explain what it means, even as they call themselves "based," which is pretty much the same thing yet supposed to be different.

Modda, our differences exceed our commonality. You and OM epitomize "WOKE MENTALITY". I oppose it as it is surface thinking (subjective feelz) and in no way supportive of our country or of Americans. It has come down to critical thinkers VS the mob. You both represent the mob.

Yet again proving my point, you have no idea what the term means, posting a link to the UK's worst tabloid being the best you can do, and one that sounds like a parody, at best.

You and I have NO commonality, despite you trying to appease me a couple of times in the previous two years with how we supposedly have sooooooo much in common and that surely deep down inside me there's one of yous just this close to coming out.
You refer to unimaginative generalities and overused tropes regardless who you address, and like I said in the past, the artificiality of all is more than a tad suspect, as you present youself also in said unimaginative generalities and overused tropes. It's just a little too artificial and script-like to not be suspect.

Tell Syd I said, "hi," - if my comment doesn't get cancel cultured fist for not fitting in with your............. groupthink.

You flatter yourself to say that I ever tried to appease you, Modda. I do not believe in appeasement of leftists. I think we need to defeat you with FACTS. A long time ago, I read a comment you made on some meme about your mom & dad's parenting techniques and I felt sympathetic to you as I know how poor parenting can mess up kids in many ways. That was it...the totality of our commonality...me, as a sympathetic female and you, as a victim. I believe your comment was to the effect that a cold wind was warmer than anything you had received as a child. Yes, I felt compassion for you. Horrible me but don't confuse that with 'appeasement'.

I do not accept the INSANITY from the left. I make no bones about it. It is SICK OF IT and it is PERVERSE to subject young children to drag queens and early sexualization. I am a mother and a grandmother and I KNOW the difference between RIGHT & WRONG. I know when our military starts teaching pronouns to our recruits, that is WRONG. I will not compromise my values at the alter of 'political correctness'. I wish you and OM well, but that is as far as I will go...

I will tell Syd you said, "hi"...

No as much as you flatter me, not that I fell for it.

Plus 3 of yous one day and 2 on another? Sure, lemme not fall for the 1st but will do for the other 4 while I'm at it!
Secretly chuckling at muh wit, respecting that at least I'm sooooo well informed... Will you add any new utterly sincere compliments when you try yet again the end of this summer too?

hahaha, I didn't even look at the link! The Daily Mail? UK's infamous newspaper turned sensationalst tabloid? I might go read it now for the larfs!

And stated unironically, no less.

Granted, some of the stuff about policing and PC trends in the UK are true, the rest - and those charges as well - resort to the usual buzzwords, sloganeering, and tropes we see here constantly.

Thing is, it describes trends taken into an evergrowing umbrella full of diffuse and diverse notions and movements, whereas the Alt & Far Right/MAGA are exceedingly myopic and monolithic. There simply is not even the slightest hint of divergence from the main nor would such be allowable. Any questioning is instantly demonized and ostracized.

Meanwhile, our comments will be cancel cultured in the name of............ Groupthink!

While, as in the article, "Groupthink" is oft atributed to Irving Janis in the 1970s,
it was actually coined in 1952 by William H Whyte.
Gee, wonder what trend dominated culture back then?

Irony being that these comments will be deleted exactly for that, for not fitting in with the narrative of the group. Denied, of course, by those who flag and censor here, because they never done did it.
