Isn't 'woke' just another name for 'political correctness' which is another name for good manners?

It's hardly communism.

It might have been initially.

But now, the common interpretation of the term 'woke' is attitudes and behavour that are far in excess of reason - taking an unsustainable moral position, and then vociforously criticising anyone who disagrees with it.

That's being pompous, not good mannered.

12:24 Good manners? Perlease! You're having a Turkish. Ask the MP who's had to hire security because she has some "unnapproved" views! Perlease I sometimes wonder what's going on between your lugs me old china!

[sandyRoe]

I'm going to continue to think of woke as good mannered civility.

 

If I'm out of step with modern usage, so be it.

[ToraToraTora]

I thought you were going to ignore my posts anyway sandy, what hapenned.

[sandyRoe]

No, I'm not having a  🦒, far from it.

It's not truly woke people who threaten others because of their views.

[sandyRoe]

You answered some of mine and I thought it would be very unwoke to ignore you after that.

[ToraToraTora]

oh really, not truly woke? Right oh!

[ToraToraTora]

12:37 yes but I never said I was going to ignore yours. You had a hissy fit:

Since when was political correctness 'Good Manners'?

I'm not sure I would go so far as to class wokeness as communism but it certainly is dictorial.  Believe in what I say or its the high jump for you.  Come to think of it that is a good part of communism.

[sandyRoe]

Let's agree to differ and let bygones be bygones.

If you ignore my hissy fit I'll ignore your attempts to talk cockney.

Deal?

You're scraping the barre if you're relying on Elon Musk to argue your case. Maybe you can back it up with a message from Kanye West?

[ToraToraTora]

12:45 no deal, ignore me if you want, your choice as it is mine to post how I choose. If the site doesn't like it they can ban me. They haven't up to now.

I guess the worlds richest man (or maybe not this week) wouldnt have a clue.

You on the other hand......
