Grrrrr, poxy woke elite.

Penny Dreadful would be a hugely satisfying loss. I still think Rees-Morgue could well lose too, at which point I think I'll run a lap of Westminster swinging my shirt over my head.

Just posting this to get us back on politics.

Blinding idea was Brexit. Additional £145 charges for food imports have been introduced as a direct result of the UK's decision to impose economic sanctions on itself. Who'll be paying the extra, do we reckon: the EU importers, the UK retailers, or the UK consumers? If you voted for Brexit and you're neither openly contrite nor honest about the extent to which you were conned, I'm afraid you must be a fuckwit.

Oh yeah, wouldn't be the only time English takes a foreign word and puts its own spin on it. French-inspired phrases we use commonly use that are completely wrong include 'double entendre' (l'ambiguité/double sens) and 'ensuite' (not to mean 'next', rather, to mean 'bathroom adjoining a bedroom'). Sometimes happens the other way around. My favourite word in German is 'handy', meaning mobile phone. The thing is its own adjective!

Not being able to explain the words you use and what you mean by them is exactly how words like 'woke' get bastardised and misused. I'm sorry you couldn't demonstrate what you meant. Very happy to agree to disagree and move on.

Positive discrimination is transference, it’s not really progression. So, not progressive. It may be that the word ‘progressive’ is misinterpreted (intentionally or not) just as much as ‘woke’ is.

More faux rage from the Minister for *stifles laugh* Common Sense. *sigh* Dipshit.

Which isn’t fighting injustice, so that’s not what we’re talking about. You have all the labels like “progressive” and “wokist” and “left-wing” but not a single idea you can explain. Maybe this thread isn’t for you.

Explain how fighting injustice isn’t progression.

I’m woke as all fuck, but this is bollocks, as Toast said. ‘Digital blackface’ is the use of filters/editing to deliberately make yourself appear a different ethnicity to your own. It is emphatically not the sharing of memes of black people/culture. That’s not impersonation, that’s appreciation. As an aside, it never occurred to me that this thread would go beyond taking the piss out of those weird people branding everything woke in an impotent rage. But there we are. It’s multi purpose.

Confirming what we already knew about “Levelling Up”:

This is exactly why 'bland' is the worst possible sin for me when it comes to music, followed closely by 'overrated'.

But you’ve been unable to define ‘woke’, suggesting the main excess is of stuff you don’t understand.

Some news about 2024 Deathlist name Jean-Marie Le Pen? Yeah, tricky to decide which thread it goes in. Maybe, rather than this thread designated for any old dead people, you should try the Jean-Marie Le Pen thread?

All these people shit-talking Fred West forget that he did a fucking good patio.

Wokist: Alternative form of wokeist. Wokeist: A proponent of woke ideals. Woke: 1) Conscious and not asleep; 2) Alert, aware of what is going on, or well-informed, especially in racial and other social justice issues; 3) Holding progressive views or attitudes, principally with regard to social justice. Cor, such problematic people.

What does 'wokist' mean?

S'okay, you ain't the first and won't be the last

Brain Top marks for not train

Always always always glass stuff first. Then your good knives. My OH put one of my sharp-as-all-fuck Japanese knives in the dishwasher once and it lost its shine. I considered calling off the wedding.

Have added this to the OP and will continuously update, cheers. If anyone else sees any wokery being reported, bring it here. Stay angry. Stay anti-woke.
