More woke BS...*sigh*

[hollohas]

I'm generally a nice guy. I try to be polite and not do anything outright offensive. But the more they tell me EVERYTHING is offensive, the more I have the urge to be offensive just to spite them.

It's awfully hard to fight off the spiteful attitude all this nonsense is giving me. I don't want to be that way, but damn.

A woke conundrum?

How will these young woke people be able to go Dutch on a date and be equal without being offensive to the Dutch?

[JohnnyDrama]

Won't be able to talk about or describe anything without somebody getting their feels hurt.

...but that's what the lefties want. Just shut it all down. No dialog. No discussion. No dissent. Just acceptance and adherence.

Someone wrote something along that thought a while back.

?Don?t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten.?

Won?t be long until Black Friday is done away with as well.

It will now be known as "A Consumption-Celebration Late-Weekday Of Color"

[Gman]

I'm offended by conspicuous consumption, so the celebration of it is particularly vile and upsetting. Why does it have to be late weekday when it could be pre-weekend or post-holiday? Let's just leave color out of it.
