      The term woke has been appropriated by the right. It was originally a term used by black people who could see that there are still prejudices against blacks from whites in this day and age. Even Lee Hsien Loong is not using the term by its original definition here, just it’s twisted form.
      And yes I agree with Lee Hsien Loong, “wokeness” has gone too far. And I’m not an right winger, I’m more of a centrist if anything.

    I feel like we want "progressiveness" rather than "wokeness". We need to respect others, yes, but perhaps the number of standards may need to be taken into consideration.
    In fact, the bar can be set at baseline tolerance, acceptance and inclusion, and the people still won't be too insecure without you having to go above and beyond.

      Exactly, there's a degree of "reasonableness" that is necessary, but quite honestly most people are reasonable, it is the few that shout the loudest that are not. I've only met a few that are actually like this, and even less that are militant about it.

      This is ridiculous, 'wokeness' became a pejorative because right-wing media use it as such. So they can be 'anti-woke' instead of whichever prejudice they hold. Why should they get to set the narrative? We Singaporeans should strife to be woke and progressive. Woke is progressive. You can't be one without the other.

    As a Dutchman I can say that he is 200% right. The worst thing is is that our govt actively supports all of it. People worry about petty issues such as 'pronouns' and 'not offending' or 'indirectly offending' others while forgetting about the real issues. They feel that having a 'victim' identity gives their life a purpose and right to make trouble on the streets. Wokeness tears our society (and much else of the West) apart. Luckily not everyone goes along with it.

      In other words wokeness is extreme left wing which can be disgusting to opposite spectrum. Singapore and East Asia (Japan, Korea) in general are ruled by extreme right wing, China’s Xi is going right wing. Europe and the West embrace left wing politics which is very close to communism (Fairness in society).

  • @dalfvideos
    @dalfvideos 2 месяца назад +1

    This is true for more than just “Woke” culture. I think social media has exacerbated this issue a lot, because you get content recommendations that already agree with your point of view to encourage your engagement- ex if you start having “woke views” you get recommended RUclips channels that share that way of thinking, and you go into a self reinforcing loop. People that are extremely conservative experience the same. So later it becomes harder for both groups to understand each other, because their perception of reality is warped by what they consume- the woke feels apocalypse is coming whenever someone mentions republicans, the conservative feels attacked when anyone mentions anything about gender, both groups become almost a parody of themselves.
    The only REAL solution is to force yourself to interact with people from different cultures and ways of life in REAL LIFE. We might not agree on everything but we all have things we share. Ex I’m not even American, but I love American comics, I’m sure there’s plenty of woke and conservative Americans that love them too so cool, there we have something to bond about…
