The Left Wants to Turn “Woke” Into a Slur-And Shut Down All Debate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2023
- There has been a debate about the meaning of the word “woke.” Progressives have long insisted that conservatives cannot define the term, but the Left’s most virulent racialists, such as the commentator Touré and Washington Post columnist Damon Young, are now arguing that “woke” and other commonly-used words are a secret code for the “n-word.” This is absurd-but also dangerous, as it’s the latest gambit in the Left’s long-running campaign to suppress all criticism of its racial ideology.

Woke: a colloquial term used to describe the growing culture that rewards and incentivizes narcissism
"Woke" is being kind to others, and not punching down on the young, the weak, the vulnerable, the minority. Christians Who Vote Republican hate that.

Synonyms: Degeneracy.

Spot on
When you can’t win the argument, ban discussions.
the gameplan of the left.
I prefer to call it cultural Marxism anyway.
How dare you! That is so racist! No, wait, I mean Marxist... no, I mean... wait...
🤣
Then you should watch Slavoj Zizk own Jordan Peterson's ass for using such an Orwellian term.
Call them Woke, because that's what they are. They're too embedded in the interests of private corporations to be Marxist.
When you do that, they deflect by calling it a Nazi Conspiracy Theory and refer you to the reworked Wikipedia page.
@@Biggiiful They call everything Nazi, like the dumb elements of RWers calling everything they disagree with Marxist.
Neither side know what National socialist or Marxist are... They mean the same thing "I disagree with you, so you're evil, therefore, I can do evil shit to you".
@@Biggiiful At some point, you're going to have to stop playing by the rules the Left contrived because those rules make it impossible to even name the enemy, let alone defeat them.
The popular idea that someone uttering "nigger" while quoting Mark Twain or James Baldwin is a racist, while someone who advocates explicit racial discrimination is an anti-racist, is lightyears beyond stupid. It's a joke people want to punish you for laughing at.
Ima keep laughing 🤣
Time to stop laughing and time to start pushing back.
I seek to communicate clearly and precisely whenever possible which is why n**ger is in my vocabulary. When a person is practicing certain actions and values,(crime, violence, claiming to be victims because of their ethnicity, etc) they are, by definition, a n**ger. Actually, n**ger was NOT in my vocabulary until obama started showing his true colors shortly into his administration. His true colors being an extremely deep hatred of whites, Conservatives, Christianity and Christians and anyone not a Leftist, to name a few.
I tell my ex wife who is white to use the word knigger all the time and I use it to describe a backward black person. By the way I am not white
Hard R, bro? Seriously bro? You racist, bro?
jk
@@sergeantkozi Not a bit.
They tried to turn "woke" into the next "What Is a Woman?" The problem is, both are relatively easy to define.
I thought they were the same thing. I mean, they both sit down to pee.
"Word shaming" doesn't work for me. Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke.
Lol how has everyone apparently forgotten that the term "woke" was *invented by the people it describes* ?
doesnt matter , they change the rulez on the fly
They don't care about consistency, logic, rationality, reason, morals or ethics. They want control over us and the power to do what they want and they will, obviously do whatever they want, lie however they can, censor, cancel and kill whoever they need to to obtain to their goals.
This is not funny. This is literally deadly serious. Every other time in history this has happened, tens of millions have been slaughtered.
As C.S. Lewis put it, "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
We, the people, are weak, complicit, compliant, lazy ... and we have let this happen. We, the people, are the only ones who can stop it. Wake up and wake up your friends ... please. Cheers!

YUP.
After all, the Humpty Dumpties *are* our _masters_, are they not?…
And what it now describes, with all its new connotations, which reflect a very oppressive phenomenon, is not good.
My neighbor in the sf bay area had a perosnalized license plate that said Woke in 2016. It was their word until it got used against them.
WOKE: Putting on blinders and yelling “I SEE!”
They don’t want their ideology to have a name. That way it’s not an ideology, it’s just ideas that normal people think, and anybody who thinks differently is a horrible person. Just like they deny that ANTIFA is anything more than the idea that fascism should be opposed.
Yes, they will also actively resist having it defined as an ism as secular religion status may follow, which would risk banning it out of all institutions, according to current laws. It is a rather clever and effective cult that zombifies the flock (the virtuous) and disarms the shepherds (people in authority)
ANTIFA isn't supposedly a thing, but they're awfully well organized...

Ha.. it hid my comment above.. like I proved in the comment! I talked about Nancy P
i said all dictionary words, and just mentioned a few names including Nancy P and Hill ary... and it literally hid the comment with all dictionary terms.
Point proven of what Mrs. Hancock just said ☝
(if ya go to sorting comments button at the top of these.... switch that to the 2nd option.. because that is used to find and bury topics and names.. aka, Nancy P like I 100% proved above.

Be very afraid. Wake up. Wake up your friends. Only we, the people, can stem the tide of this evil. No longer can we be complacent, complicit, lazy, ignorant or weak - that is what allowed them to get this far. Cheers!
You nailed it.
As much as I'd like to counter your warning with platitudes, I don't have it in me, they'd be empty anyway..so I try to quell my fear with knowledge & faith. But I know about the millions who have suffered, in the same world where C.S. Lewis graced us with his wisdom & understanding of "the problem of pain", yet here we are..more mired in the abyss than ever. The pain is coming, you're right; as this unfolds, I'm astounded by our failure to learn from the past, therefore, doomed to repeat it. Every day is a punch to the gut; shocking proof of our amnesia, from "women" with penises, to crumbling institutions & cities; vengeance, blame, outrageous, overt corruption, as diabolical schemes unfold, closing in on us, why do only a few notice? I wish I were crazy; much easier. It's too big for most of us, what are we gonna do? I've never been one to relent to fear & defeat, but I feel this to my core; it sticks to everything, everyone feels it. It's heavy. I'd like to believe that the opposite must be true, too..why wouldn't it be? There's light..gotta try to stay IN it.

"The right can't define woke" and the left can't define gender, sex, man, woman, capitalism, liberty, constitution, etc I think we can bang out a definition in about 5 min, but the left needs to get to work on defining the above.
One problem is the constant “left” or “right” generalizing. Another big problem is both sides are using completely different definitions .
@@brianmeen2158 There is nothing wrong with the terms Left and Right. If you were to try denoting every nuance of people's political beliefs on every issue you'd get nothing done. And my point of definitions was the left injects subjectivity into so many things you can't have solid definitions.
Let's check the thesaurus: Believe in "white privilege," a "racism pandemic" of 2020, "internalized misogyny," that the USA invented slavery, and the like.
Never, ever, use the post modernist lexicon. NEVER "unpack" anything other than your luggage. If you adopt their language, you have already lost. You are grossly complicating the process of language destruction. George Orwell articulated this process and it's purpose in 1948.
Yep, control over language is control over thought. Double-plus-ungood

Facts
Just stopped by to say "Woke, woke, wokety, woke".
Woke, wokesters, wokeism wokewokewokewoke!!!! Or would they prefer "fundamentist religion", because that's what woke is!!
Remember what George Carlin did with the “F-word”. (honestly, I would say it but don’t trust the censors)
'Woke' has followed a similar linguistic path to 'PC' (or 'political correctness' when it became 'PC'). Left-wing professors in my youth (1970s and 80s) used 'politically correct' quite seriously and without irony -- it was something they really wanted. It was taken over entirely as a critical term by the Right after D'Sousa's book Illiberal Education and no one dares use it now.
I have a friend who is innately left-winged. Funnily enough, back in the 80s, she was rolling her eyes at the term “politically correct” while it was being used by her own side. She is still left-winged. And still criticises what the Left does and says.
Very true, it became something to be mocked- things like changing the term “disabled” to “specially abled”, this was the late eighties
The definition I use is:
An ideology which holds the best way to view society is through arbitrary lenses, such as race, sexuality and sex/gender, attaches 'value' to them, and aims to create social hierarchies based on the same through which society can then be organized.
The problem there should be clear, as that description also works for "Bigotry".
Yes, brilliantly exposed.
We need to diagnose Woke as a new kind of religion and treat it as one keeping it out of our parliaments and schools.
Why are they looking for a ‘shared meaning’ with people who do not engage in debate? What is wrong with these people? You have a decade of censorship, cancelling, riots, and someone still says ‘please let me know what word I should be using?’ The conservatives should man up.
I'm personally not that offended when someone uses the dreaded n-word. I don't have the time, energy or inclination to police other people's language.
Christopher, thank you for being our mouth piece.
I admit, I use Woke as mockery. Mea Culpa. 🤣
Don't stop. If the grown-ups are too scared to say no, then we have to send in the clowns, jesters, savants and the kitchen sink.
Me too, but it's the upper-crust, over-educated, indignant, insufferable white liberal women who get their panties in a bunch. Oh, the "transwomen," too. 🤣😅🤡

The Fuzzies
Beautiful. I'm an 'old labour' guy in the UK - so basically happy with capitalism but think if I'm working I should be paid a reasonable wage to lead a reasonable life - and this ideology does not represent all of us on the left in the slightest. So thank you for noticing that in your closing address and yes, I completely agree with you. I would only add that I feel this ideology has done more harm than good. The sooner we shut this down the better.
Cristopher describes the intellectual dishonesty of the social madness that is woke very well.
To be woke is to be unreasonably suspicious of others.
They're paranoid because they know they don't have a leg to stand on. They fear blowback. They fear the slightest breeze. They fear biology. They fear physics. They fear facts. They fear common sense. They fear reason. And they know they are in a losing position. Mother Nature won't be fooled.
They're perfectly aware that a word is defined by its advocates' behaviour and would do everything in their power to hide the fact.
Actually the word "woke" frames the debate in the left's favor - that's why they coined the term. It gives the impression that their idealogy is somehow awakened or superior, when it's actually the opposite. This is a good opportunity for the right to change the terminology and reframe the debate.
It's their own self applied label. I have come to regard it as the pronoun of CRT Marxists.
And you would be correct. As others have said they don't want a precise name for themselves. They want to keep their ideology very hard to pin down; for it to be gaseous, if you will. Something you can't get a grasp on.
@@highlightning6693 Words are power. The "conversation" game that these people play is not about the exchange of ideas. It is about the display and application of power. The exchange between Winston and his interrogator in room 101 comes to mind. The question is what the sum of 2 and 2 is. There is no correct answer. The game is about breaking the will. They seek to nullify you, bit by bit, through an endless struggle session.
Once you are broken, you become nothing more than a fixture to them. You are to be used and discarded as a cautionary example.
@@ivermec-tin666 thoroughly agree with you.
Hey, I'm ok with just replacing "Woke" with "Whacked" - no "secret code" issues eh!
Woke,woke,woke,woke I will say any damned word I like!
The point made regarding everything being treated as a dog whistle is scarily valid.
I have a large group of former friends that went "woke". They started willfully taking projected offense at what they wanted to believe I "really meant" behind the "dog whistles". They seemed to forget that I'm a conscientious engineer and was actually just being literal and precise in my use of language, and they gave zero paths to dialogue about facts in any way that diverged from their highly binary narrative (i.e. our side good, other side evil, no exceptions).
On the up side, my mental-emotional well-being has improved since they stopped talking to me, so it turns out sometimes there are silver linings.
So, being called "racist", or a "white supremacist", or a "nazi" isn't offensive? It works both ways.
So well spoken.
Wokeness is a power-centric ideology that interprets every instance of unequal outcomes as an instance of oppression.
Wokeness divides the society into “oppressors” and “the oppressed,” and casts every role in this great political drama based on race, sex, age, fitness, and religion.
Wokeness assumes that everyone who succeeds within its host society does so through dishonest means or through capitulating to the “oppressors.” If there are any honest gains which can’t easily be attributed to deviousness, wokeness presupposes that it’s a bug in the system, not a feature.
Wokeness seeks to dismantle or otherwise reconstitute the “oppressive” foundations of Western society into the three pillars of wokeness: Diversity (what you’re allowed to do), Equity (what you’re allowed to own), and Inclusivity (what you’re allowed to say).
It is interesting to watch them coordinate in their approach to the different issues. I have to admit that I am impressed by their organization, thoroughness, and zeal. Like a group of ants swarming certain topic threads and always showing up here and there to troll. "You don't know what it is." "It doesn't really exist." "Well, it isn't your personal experience, so what do you know about it?" They attack and question your understanding of meanings, while they redefine words and hold you to the meanings they are trying to promote. They will then turn and label you with terms that make you question yourself or your actions. They use terms that they know are triggering to distract or turn you toward self examination. This is just brainwashing and demoralization. It's just psychological gas lighting and manipulation. If you've ever dealt with a narcissist, this is familiar. Which is why they demand that truth be subjective and like shifting sand. And they are the shifters. We must refuse to shift or to be afraid. We must use the words as we know them, and we must not buckle to their condemnation or willful pretend misunderstanding. And be CAREFUL what terms we are willing to adopt. TRUST in the truth that you know. Do not allow for the deception. Everyone knows what NO is.
Rufo is right. This is a precursor to the type of controls that we have never experienced in the U.S. This is deadly, and we had better take it seriously. The current administration is not averse to forcing us into electric cars or into getting vaccines. They aren't unwilling to take children from parents who don't agree with certain agendas. They have demonstrated that they will lock up or unfairly go after people for their politics. It I'm any judge, this is going to get much worse. We must not be afraid of the bullies.
Read about socialist language techniques. You are witnessing Maoist Marxism and you must stand up to it at every stage. Otherwise you are gone. It is not about being ‘nice’ or being seen as ‘nice’ it is about speaking the truth.
They don't want their ideology to be critically examined. Why don't we just ban language altogether!!!???
Which is ironic because the postmodernist ethos is to critically examine (and thus deconstruct through "problematizing") literally everything. More of "It's okay when WE do it, not YOU."
Speech suppression leads to physical suppression.
This is a very dangerous movement.
Thanks for continuing to bring such issues to light-and with such keen insight.
Mao himself liked and promoted the idea of "magic" words
Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke. There I said it.
Hahahaha, "be respectful for people who aren't like you" - people like Christians, conservatives
One of my favorite linguistic tricks is the relatively recent substitution of "white supremacist" for "racist". Rather chilling when you know what those who engineered this are up to.
"its a beautiful thing the destruction of words"
Simes, outer party member 1984
Whatever word they use to describe themselves will turn into a slur, because they are a slur.
Like a slurry of pig poop, which by any other name is still stinky pig poop.
Lol...good luck with that. As I remember it, THEY were the ones that originally started calling themselves that - they ALL used to have it in their Twitter bios.
You’re a brave man Rufo. A modern hero frightening the hordes of the evil. God bless you.
They allow themselves to use any epithet against basically anyone, but no-one should be allowed to label them in any way?
These people are scum, no further definition needed.
I love how the very people who constantly change the definitions of terms try to use defining terms as a tool.
You can define woke as political correctness taken to the absurd levels that it originally had when PC first appeared back in the Soviet Union
I am not even right and I say it about their most extreme....
Pay what you owe, 40 acres and a mule.
Excellent. Thank You Christopher.
People who tell the truth do not need to censor their opponents.
“Woke what? Woke, please.”
Doesn’t really roll off the tongue like the gamer word.
Honestly, "woke" is a slur, just not how the woke think it is.
Start asking: "are the Bill of Rights of the Constitution compatible with Communism?"
In the UK hate speech is that which offends the hearer irrespective of the intent of the speaker. You can actually commit a hate speech crime. There is even such a thing as a non-crime hate speech incident, whichbthe authorities record. The British police waste their time prosecuting people for hurty words while real criminals (burglaries, knife crime in the big cities, drug gangs, child groomers) go largely unapprehended. Long may the USA preserve the right of free speech!
The first time I remember hearing the word “woke” in the modern context was the song “Redbone” by Childish Gambino, released in 2016. Its actual meaning is being “awoken” from the Marxist notion of “false consciousness”.
Ironic considering that Marx was merely advocating for the dominance of his own version of a false consciousness.
@@hugovandyk9918 “The iron law of woke projection”, as James Lindsay would say.
I recall the controversy about the word "urban" in the UK a few years ago. The offending Newtonian politician was required to educate himself on the slang meanings of words as used by minority groups. I then looked into it and found that the Woke (" Be Kind" on the outside, but authoritarian and unhinged on the inside) have been altering the dictionary definitions of words and expressions. Wikipedia has been updated in this regard, as well as Merriam-Webster. I recall that the Woke also find the word "uppity" offensive. Shut the front door!
Are doors racist yet?
I guess the ultimate bad person is an uppity adult human female.
Wikipedia has fallen .. I’m
Guessing the question is - how to prevent organizations from falling one after another?
Remember the "Ban Bossy" campaign a few years back?
Spot on. They play language games, by redefining words or multiple definitions to play the Mott and Bailey game
We need a term for the process of an ideology hiding itself.
Good, because I mean it as a slur.
I love how your conclusions and closing-lines always bring the fire and rally the fight--- with adamantine stance & conviction. Damn-good work!
Teach people the sticks and stones rhyme.
Woke is gnostic hate, this century's personality science is very clear.
Trying to shut up any questioning or debate that upsets the left too bad
"Woke" is a term originally used by the Left to suggest an enlightened insight into sociopolitical issues, but eventually appropriated by the Right to point out excess and hypocrisy within the ideology.
In contemporary usage, the term woke could be seen as the equivalent on the Left to a term like "red neck" on the Right, in short a way to describe a mindless and extreme pantomime of a political position.
Activists should be mocked and despised.

if the definition for woke never changed it would be a word for the people resisting against wokeness of today
I’ve never used it as a compliment that’s for sure. My mental picture of woke is a white college aged chick with a guys haircut. I use antifa or blm when referring to woke black people
I define it as over-the-top political correctness. I am not right wing and reject the idea that not liking wokeness means I am.
Love your conviction for standing with the truth. Thank you for speaking out on this topic and exposing these manipulative patterns that far-left is using to suppress discourse and debate. I appreciate your courage.
I think it’s perfect. If there is no name then the idea is nebulous and cannot be grasped and so cannot be exterminated.
Stupid should be redefined to actively holding conflicting desires and doing nothing about it.
Well done..as usual
I observe that the use of double meanings is a demoralization tactic to confuse us about true and false, fact and fiction. Gradually we are taught that we are not allowed to validate the understanding that we hold through our own observations. At the end state of this linguistic maneuver, we are unable to make decisions without expert opinion to tell us what we should think.
That is exactly what the Woke believe. You can not self validate, you must always consult the expert. Talk about “dog-whistle”.
Woke is hate as hate is woke. So obvious we're being gaslighted, time to bring out the gas?
Bravo ... Keep up the vital work Christopher - for the sake of Western Civilization indeed! I'm not being hyperbolic here .

When Mao and the Chinese Communist Party won power in 1949, they were determined to create new, revolutionary human beings. Their most precise instrument of ideological transformation was a massive program of linguistic engineering. They taught everyone a new political vocabulary, gave old words new meanings, converted traditional terms to revolutionary purposes, suppressed words that expressed "incorrect" thought, and required the whole population to recite slogans, stock phrases, and scripts that gave "correct" linguistic form to "correct" thought. They assumed that constant repetition would cause the revolutionary formulae to penetrate people's minds, engendering revolutionary beliefs and values. "Linguistic Engineering: Language and Politics in Mao's China". This is Maoist thought reform 101.
I highly recommend everyone read "Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of 'brainwashing' in China" by Robert Jay Lifton. Yes we absolutely should reject THEIR redesignation of words and vocabulary. Don't back down an inch.
Wow! Someone who knows a bit of history. A rarity these days. Very few even know about the Meowist Cultural Revolution which was the outgrowth of the linguistic manipulation you describe.
