Turning the corner on "woke"?

[bromides]

The usual suspects voted for the Soros-backed DA, Chesa Boudin... the Haight, the Castro, plus the Mission. Pac Heights was big time against Chesa. He lost the elite vote.

Now, crazy people were beating on rich people and crapping on sidewalks long before Chesa got into office, but things have been particularly bad under Chesa. Office occupancy is way down and it's as much about violence as it is about COVID. Nobody wants to risk NYC-level violence just to ride on a cramped train to get into a crap-covered cesspit where they are shutting down stores and restaurants due to rampant crime. Not even the richest SF'ites are as dumb as the elites in NYC. They elected their guy with Chesa and Gascon already well established as idiots.

At some point, reality comes calling, and woke/progressive dogma doesn't work in actual reality... just like any far wingnut philosophy. Left/Right, Authoritarian/Anarchist. I won't blame only one side for wingnuttery, but the woke-progressives are particularly bad in this era. Just because I'm to the right of them doesn't make me a Nazi.

[3catcircus]

Yes. But social role of respect is not to be sincere, but to control relations between people to follow customs and laws of given society.

But how well does respect accomplish this control if it is widely perceived to be insincere, on both sides? A police force that is not mostly sincerely respected for its own sake, for example, can only maintain order through constant surveillance and threat of force, and those tactics are not sustainable, either practically or morally. And the entire failure of the Woke project is in its attempt to compel signals of respect for particular viewpoints and groups via threat of social ostracism rather than sincerely earning it.

Hence, again, my basic criticism of any duelling culture that is not rigorously self-policed for fair fights and restrained force: responding to disrespect with excessive violence (and it is the nature of violence that it tends to the excessive) doesn't earn respect, only fear or contempt.

It can be summed up succinctly: people should just behave. In western society we *all* know exactly what this means. The problem is we allow the 1%ers to loudly proclaim bring oppressed if society (in the form of laws and law enforcement) ignore and allow this bad behavior for some rather than applying it equally to all with the allowance of discretion by law enforcement personnel who are sufficiently trained and and to use common sense.

A perfect example of this is the Chris Rock skit " How to not get your ass kicked by the police" because it addresses both bad behavior by citizens *and* bad behavior by police officers.

 But, the other issue is that *most* in western societies have been educated just enough to be indoctrinated but not enough to think for themselves, resulting in situations where they can't or won't see the unequal application of the law - brainwashed into thinking it's ok for rioters to burn down small businesses because a felon hopped up on fentanyl died while resisting arrest while simultaneously condemning a teen for defending himself against those same types of rioters...

In what world does anyone think that a child molester, a spousal abuser, and a habitual burglar have any moral high ground to make it acceptable to attack someone with fists, feet, skateboard, and handgun in response to that person trying to put out their arsenous handiwork?

In what world does anyone think that 5 and 6 year old children should be anywhere near a gay bar to dance with drag queens? Or that they should be encouraged by educators to declare themselves to be of the opposite sex and hide what they're saying and doing from their parents?  Or that grooming gangs should be allowed to turn parts of European and Brit cities into no-go zones? Or that bombing anti-abortion organizations and trying to kill SCOTUS justices is ok because you don't like the possibility that terrible case law was to be kicked back and made the realm of the states liked it was previously?  Or that it is acceptable for the FBI to create terrorists who would otherwise never get past the bitching and moaning stage to ever actually doing anything and then act like heroes when they stop them?

Western society is in exponentially increasing rate of moral decay.  We're literally at Robocop levels of societal decline.  And we're being encouraged to speed it up by people who have been corrupted by Marxists and communists in foreign nations.

We desperately need a large cleansing of the house - there is literally no way to fix this shit without burning it all down and going scorched earth on everything that exhibits a hint of wokeness.  It needs to be a not one inch approach.

I was referring to the corporate/government corrupt incestuousness whereby you have corporations dictating government policy rather than elected politicians doing their citizen's bidding.

If it were *just* the lawless maniacs, I agree that it's way worse than in the movie.  "Can you fly, Bobby?!!!"

Yeah, given everything that’s going on with respect to the policy arena and executive actions at the moment, it’s hard to argue that “wokeness” so to speak isn’t on the rise and being legally institutionalized. Add in the gradual demographic shifts towards the left both generationally and as regards (as a result of immigration and birth rates) the racial/ethnic population proportions (though Republicans are slowly breaking ground there, as with Hispanics, and folks within these demographics can admittedly be more socially conservative than one would at first think), and it’s hard not to see a longer term trend that way as well. I suspect a corner may not actually be being turned on woke, as it seems to be on the rise in legislation at the moment and in the population in the long run. Also, some of the stuff y’all have found out is going on and posted here genuinely shocked me.

I think the progress being made by Republicans with Hispanics and Asians recently has to do with the Woke spearhead, dominated by academics, blazing to their bloody ideal of a utopia at warp speed while de-emphasizing daily life issues such as education and crime. If over the long haul more Hispanics and Asians vote along conservative/libertarian lines that would be fantastic. If this is just a short term reaction against the Woke before falling back to some kind of reality-based liberalism, I’d be satisfied with that as well as long as the wackadoodle Woke lost their power and influence. Several left wing pundits have been sounding the alarm on the damage the Woke could do to the Democrats, but they’ve been mostly ignored. With some of the recent losses, recalls of the Woke in San Francisco, and what’s looking to be a red wave in the midterms I think there’s a decent chance that the Woke may get thrown under the bus in terms of electoral politics. On the other hand there’s also a good chance that after the red wave the only Dems left would be the Woke from the ultra progressive strongholds, and their ideology would compel them to double down on their faith.

In terms of the big picture we need 2 or more major parties that are sane and in good shape. Currently, the Republicans seems split on Trump as a personality cult, and just don’t seem to be sure what they stand for. The Democrats are so fucking down the rabbit hole of being Woke they’re telling us it takes a biologist to tell what a woman is, and you can be sure if that biologist gives the badthink answer they’ll be run out of their field as a bigot.

Radical thought here: could this whole 'woke' issue be a big manufactured crisis meant to distract stupid (I.E. most)  people from real issues and the  fact most of the real crisis facing the american people are created by the American oligarchy?

We see rightard politicians crusading against 'woke' and fighting to pass 'anti woke' laws while people are dieing from lack of healthcare, people are losing their homes, people can't afford for and medicine,  runaway inflation while corporate profits are at record highs are destroying american homes and lives.

Meanwhile josh tinyhead Hawley is bragging about his anti woke political jyhad.

Sadly vast numbers of Americans are stupid enough to fall for this constantly....

No.  When the "woke" are in my workplace demanding that I say and demonstrate the right things or I will lose my job because of a "lack of shared values" (not an exaggeration) this is not a manufactured crisis.  It's just as dangerous to my ability to feed my family as inflation is.

 And when you keep doing shit that people perceive as dangerous to their families....you will eventually get a pretty strident response to that constant threat.  I think this gets missed by the idiots pushing bullshit like that.

I mean, I feel like woke trends are also a real policy and legislative threat. Look at semi-recent efforts by the Biden administration to distribute aid to all black farmers regardless of income level while ignoring poorer white farmers solely on the basis of race. Critical Race Theory likewise, at least in some of its forms, advocates that... "The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." (Ibram Kendi) So unless we want to enter a never-ending carousel of discrimination, could be maybe we shouldn't be teaching future voters that this is the case. Likewise, it could be argued having the discussion focused so closely on the highest profile endangered minorities means that individuals who are endangered but aren't in one of the high profile minorities get totally neglected. (ex: Let's say you're in a bad position but are a straight white male. Maybe uneducated or rural, so people care about you even less.) Or that woke values and culture translate into specific policies, which can be evaluated on their merits and are not always super positive. Heck, let's talk a bit about how often when people fight for equal rights for men under the law and societally they're called mens rights activists but this is also somehow supposed to mean male supremacists, which is a faction the woke is allegedly against. But yeah. Most of the homeless? Men. Most of suicides? Men. Longest and hardest work hours? Men. Expected to seek out rather than just having to wait for courting? Men. Legally expected to die for their country in a crisis, and most likely to die in general? Men. Highest education these days? Women.  Having the option to stay at home and have a spouse provide for you? Women. Overall largest wealth amount when legal right to wealth under a divorce is taken into account? Women. Actually a protected class under the law? Women. So who has unilateral monopoly on privilege again? That's right, men, somehow. Actual "privilege" as the woke like to call it being contextually dependent and often a mixed bag. Fixating aid only on the most perceivedly marginalized demographics ignores the marginalization within other demographics. So there are real issues that the woke buries by existing, or propagating its views, and they are not themselves flawless producers of political content through their beliefs. Which means maybe they ought occasionally to be called out on it, I feel, just like any other major political/societal movement. I feel like we don't always lose just by taking such things seriously.

That said, yeah, politicians are also virtue signaling and trying to distract from deeper issues within our political system, while holding onto oligarchic power. That's kinda what they do, I guess.

"Wokeness" started with the so-called anti-racist movements like BLM. 2020 saw murders, parts of cities burning and sometimes taken over by "woke" groups. So no.

That's not correct.

That's not correct.

I'd say it is 100% correct, but please explain.
