  • In the US state of Florida, the Republican governor Ron DeSantis is on a mission, some say to become the next US president, he says to fight the woke agenda. He broadly refers to 'woke' as the extreme left-wing progressives who he says are intent on smoking out America's innate social injustices --and if you dare to disagree, you get cancelled. With politicians like DeSantis declaring a 'war on woke,' America's politics seem as polarized as ever.

    It’s always interesting to hear on outside view on American politics. I 100% agree with the last point, that American politics has turned into a reality tv show, where we are 18 months away, and people have already started to campaign. It kinda maintains the political divide longer than it needs to. Tensions are always high around election time, but now it almost feels like its always election time. Polls show that the majority of Americans dislike both parties, and are tires with the constant stream of political theatre. I wish politics wasn’t such a big part of American culture

    Schuelke seems to be trying very hard to minimize the cultural impact that is so prevalent that multiple polls have identified it. Woke encompasses more than just 1 issue, its gender politics, Critical Race Theory, cancel culture, safe spaces and much more. It is a mindset that determines life choices as priorities by a handful of political elites, which shifts on a regular basis - often conflicting with current and past ideology. IF you don't think its real, watch She-Hulk or Velma, read the tweets and reviews on Hogwarts, remember the words of Kamala Harris about FEMA in Florida or Biden justifying a new focus on diversity in Government above all other criteria. See how terms are being redefined to accommodate Leftist ideals. Count the number of local politicians and teachers apologizing for being born the wrong color. DeSantis and others aren't being vague, Woke is vague and constantly shifting. To not acknowledge that is a disservice to Americans and international audiences.

No specific reason, just because I was white. People often told me about my white privilege. My paretns were born in Poland to poverty. Escaped communism. Build a living for themselves by working construction and housekeeping. 10-12 hour shifts. Minimum wage. Please, have their white priviledge. I was working since I was 16. Finished college, got a job. Minding my own business. Yet, the blue haired mob in my company will tell me I'm guilty of slavery, ssytematic rasism in the 40's and a homophobe.

    • @eufrosniad994
      @eufrosniad994 Год назад

      @@CarShopping101 The reality is that there has never been such a thing as a truly moderate group. What you so disparaging identify as extremist religious right used to be the position of a majority of the people in the land. The different view of the majority today is not the result of some sudden epiphany. Rather, the left would take an extreme position, and then argue that we should compromise and reach a middle ground. The next time, the same argument would take place with the left going even further as we reach for a new middle ground and so forth. In this way, one gradually arrives at the far left position and the majority ends up being conditioned to think society had a natural evolution to this new point. What was once extreme had become the norm and what was once true and good ends up becoming the extreme.
      Anyway, it’s worth noting that controlling peoples attitudes and behaviour IS a natural part of society. It is precisely because we left it untouched that we ended up in this disastrous mess. When people are left unchecked, they take a deep descent into whatever whims and passions they have. What we see before our eyes is the end result of leftist aspirations. The liberal left is one of the movements that completely degraded the human condition to what we see today.

    Claiming that "It's okay to be white" is not okay is extreme - why no focus on that? You spent a lot of time focusing on DeSantis as being extreme, but absolutely no time on looking honestly at how scary it is that there is such a common attack on whiteness in the US, and the broader West.

      @@VieleGuteFahrer I don't understand what you are trying to say. What difference does that make? My point was that there is no "attack on whiteness". And this is true, regardless of the level of immigration in my country or area, and also regardless of whether the majority ethnicity considers themselves 'white' or not. At least that's what I've seen over here so far.

    I'm a decent person so I'm gonna come clean, conservatives and right wingers coined the term "woke" as an inside joke amongst ourselves. The fact that so many people tried to adopt it as a badge of honor is just icing on the cake. 🍿 I never thought it would have gone this far 😂

      Arizona has about 34% registered Republicans and 30% registered Democrats. I live here in AZ but used to live in FL as well. There are some really wonderful people both on the Right and Left and all across the United States. Instead of getting all political, maybe just think more along the lines of whether you like the beach or the desert.
