Revising history for the Woke Era.
Just so we're clear, Hamster:
When I see a post that uses terms of bigotry or racism, basically any term that reduces a group of people, I will not bother to read further. Terms like woke, appropriated sarcastically, are functionally the same as any other term of bigotry. If there is, in actuality, some reason we should not value being awakened to the past effects of racism and its present reverberations, then make that argument. If you think a traditional view of history is the correct one, and a revision will be false in some way, then make that argument.
I sure Ham will get back to you OC.
But to be clear.
OC did you EVER laugh at a racist or sexist or any type of prejudicial joke which today we might find racist/sexist/prejudicial?
Did you ever do anything in your past, anything, let's say decades ago, which changes in society made you re-examine your behavior?
I have.
But I try to moderate my behavior now and become a better person.
But should I be hung for laughing at a red-neck joke, or a dumb-blonde joke? Or dating a dumb blonde?
Is there a statute of limitations for behavior decades ago?
I think that's the woke line most reasonable people start to balk at.
I've used examples here of the intolerance of the woke.
Pointing their fingers at others, who weren't smart enough to erase posts or tweets or photographs or any other evidence when they were young and dumb.
I read a few weeks ago in this forum some fucking moron compared Hugh Hefner's treatment of women to Hitler's treatment of Jews.
Can you believe that open anti-semitic trope would be allowed in Elba?
Hefner just as bad a Hitler?
And with all the woke motherfuckers in here, I was the only one to question the offensive comparison.
How fucking asleep did that moron have to be to make that comparison?
How indifferent to the extermination of millions of people by a monster did that moron have to be to even draw that comparison?
The fucking hypocrisy is astounding.
WAKE THE FUCK UP.
