Civilization is at stake. Girls being raped in schools by biological men, and then woke school boards blaming the victims. Terrorists killing innocent people, and woke leftists blaming the victims. Meanwhile, someone uses the wrong pronoun, and woke idiots play the victim.

On a policy level, it's leading to fuzzy headed appeasement of Iran, a ridiculous withdrawal from Afghanistan, broken cities, appeasement of Venezuela for their oil, while reducing the ability to drill for oil in America.

The damage from woke garbage is no longer confined to the teachers lounge, it's turned into policy, policy that treats our liberal democracy the same as barbaric dictatorships. And that equates awful, criminal everyday behavior with imagined oppressions by people with identity crises. Enough is enough. Heightened sensitivities to perceived slights and has led to tolerance of real ones.

We need to stand up for civilization. The climate cult, pro-terrorist cult, pronoun cult, BLM cult, the COVID cult, and we-need-a-cause-now cult are causing real damage. If you want to wear a mask outside, protest the weather, and cheer on terrorists, expect your candidates to lose. The rest of us have a responsibility to stand up to this garbage.

Are you even remotely aware what the term "woke" means?

Like ... almost nothing you listed in your rant has anything to do with "woke-ness." If you don't like leftist stuff or democrats, then that's your prerogative, but not all leftist stuff is "woke-ness." If you want to rant against leftist stuff or democrats you could at least title the thread, "We Really Need a War on Leftism," or "We Really Nee a War on Democrats."

All this ranting against "woke" stuff by the right has become utterly meaningless. It amounts to just rants against whatever you don't happen to like, and then calling it "woke."

They're too lazy to look up what the word "woke" actually means so they just throw it around and use it for any random thing they don't like.

What we really need is a war on the misuse of the term "woke."
You've been watching too much MSM 'news' my friend. We all know exactly what wokism is and what the origin of the term is. The left is frantically trying to bring it back to the original meaning which was simply to be aware of racial and social injustices. That is the origin of the term, however, the term has evolved to encompass the current 'woke' mania cult like movement.

Quote:
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial justice, sexism and LGBT rights.

Just substitute the 70's term "Shuck and Jive", meaning "I'm going to throw as much bs at you and pretend it makes sense"

We need a counter-culture, like how when South Park first premiered it started the anti-PC culture of the 90's.

Most people don't get is that woke is just a tool used to disrupt society by the Marxist crowd. Too many things are happening too fast for this to be an organic movement. This is being pushed by the far-left crowd that wants to reshape every facet of society.

I missed the news stories on this. Can you give us links to some of these outrages?

Or did you just start your rant with an outright lie?
