Woke Culture: Have We Had Enough?

[Khandro]

Oxford Union debate just now, enjoy!

[Zacs-Master]

Just what we need. A bunch of over privileged toffs debating modern culture.

You mean like The Pythons?

I'm sure Cleese would like to have his say, yes. Always going on about how awful it is to be cancelled, in interviews that remain relentlessly uncancelled.

[Zacs-Master]

Exactly the opposite actually, Doooogie.

You need to stop posting links to stupidly long things that nobody's got neither the the time nor patience to listen to. Just make your point yourself.

[royfromaus]

I have the time and the patience.

To say that ABers don't have the time (10 minutes) is ridiculous.

How is the speaker, 'over-privileged' ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Kisin

[ichkeria]

Is it the whole debate or just one person who agrees with you :-)

[Zacs-Master]

I didn’t say Kisin was over privileged, Khandro. One person does not a bunch make.

[Khandro]

Zacs-Master: //I didn’t say Kisin was over privileged, Khandro. One person does not a bunch make.//

Then what exactly are you saying?

[ichkeria]

I’d be happy to spend more than 10 minutes listening to an actual debate: I’d also be happy to listen to Kisin doing his stuff. But I’m reluctant to give my time to yet another conspiracy theory about “woke” culture. Just as I dislike being told by that leering idiot Dan Wootton that GB News doesn’t talk down to me … as he does exactly that constantly :-)

[naomi24]

I haven't watched the video - but yes, I've had enough of 'Woke' culture. My having had enough of it won't change it though. The lunatics are running the asylum.

[Old_Geezer]

Any reasonable person had more than excess of "woke" as soon as it reared it's ugly head.

[Zacs-Master]

What I’m saying is, students of Oxford university aren’t generally representative of the vox pop.

[Khandro]

Zacs-Master; Two thoughts occur to me when I read your posts;
(1) You are a stranger to academia.
(2) You may have been inebriated when you wrote that 'privileged toffs' post last night.

[ichkeria]

Zacs it isn’t only students who debate at the Oxford Union.
I’m a little surprised at your reaction tbh

[Zacs-Master]

All I’m saying is the rarified environs of Oxford Uni don’t really engender a balanced world view.

[douglas9401]

All I know about Konstantin is that he's not the Messiah...

[mibn2cweus]

I fail to make a distinction between caring for myself and caring for others. I don't find having enough to feed myself a legitimate excuse to become obese or throw food away.

[fitdarren]

I've had enough of woke culture, I know that much!
