50 People Share Their ‘Woke’ Opinions They Fear Others Won’t Agree With

Why do you think they are so against "woke"? They want people to be ignorant, believe their lies, and do what they are told. They don't want protests, editorials, or comments against their agenda. People might actually try to change the political landscape to reflect actual benefits and enforce rules of law.

Being asleep. Literally sleeping through the worlds problems and prejudices because you can't be bothered to educate yourself or you feel it doesn't concern you.

They are taking funding from the best universities for not being willing participants in their farce. The maga morons win either way, as they either have sheeples or they have less educated people.

The woke, have made anti-semitism mainstream again. The woke have made identity politics a thing, in which access and opportunities are literally based around your s*x, sexuality and race. The woke have brought segregation back to universities. The woke, in one breath will say a 10 year old is too young for a tattoo, but more than old enough to decide to change their s*x. There's a lot of ignorance on the woke side of things, and that ignorance is engrained into the ideology, because as soon as facts prove assumptions to be incorrect, those pointing it out are labeled the enemy.

Actually, the "Woke" happen to be the most bigoted, intolerant hypocrites I have ever encountered.

Woke is also just a term being used and misused all over. Not everything being labeled as woke is actually open minded either. If it meant as described in your message to try and understand others, learn more and become a better human I'm pretty sure no one would object. It's the problem that in every day culture it's now a certain bunch of political views (mostly far left) and if people disagree with those views they get met with rage as well.

Woke is used to mean pandering to the minority at the expense of the majority - eg one person complains about something, so they remove it or change it; or requiring everyone in a company to add their pronouns even though the whole company is binary. It includes renaming Christmas parties to "Winter lunches" to avoid offending non-Christians, even though in my office the most avid putters-up of the decorations were two hijab-wearing Muslim ladies and weren't in the least offended. It's political correctness and virtue signalling that annoys the silent majority.

And they did

Like Trump, yes

Conservatism is a form of dementia, so yes.

Yes, but....supreme court here also said the owner of Hobby Lobby was personally having his religious freedoms harmed by an insurance company providing benefits to Hobby Lobby's employees that included birth control. Oh, and that other one out of Colorado where a person's religious freedoms were found to be actually harmed because a hypothetical business they might want to open would be penalized for discriminating against the public on the basis of *checks notes* religion! So you see, the US is a place of diverse people and application of laws. 🤣

Lots of people, I would say most people still push their religion on their children. Nevermind that they've never had the chance to explore, understand or have even ever heard of any other type of religion or system of belief that exists in the world. Nevermind that they have no idea what committing yourself to an ideology means. A good parent can still practice their religion and educate their age appropriate children about other systems of beliefs and religions. You can explain to your child this is what I believe and this is why I believe it but other people have different beliefs and reasons for those beliefs. When you're old enough and have the life experience to form your own opinions you can choose what you believe.

Precisely one? May introduce you to Islam?

They have a school for that, it's called Sunday School. They can read it there for whatever reason they want to. Keep that nonsense out of actual school.

Agreed. I have accreditation to teach Catholic RE and there are units on all faiths withing the Australian Catholic curriculum and it is my favourite part to teach. I am not Catholic, nor do I actually teach RE.

Soup kitchens and welfare systems paid for by the employeed class through income tax, while those with private jets pay minimal tax.

Soon to be a lot fewer soup kitchens

The upper age limit is when you die, or become so senile you can't do the job. The other end is more structured. I haven't seen any 6-year-olds running for office, but there are plenty of 20+ year-olds getting involved.

I wonder what would be more damaging. Not having a minimum age ir having a maximum age. In theory, both should be resolved by people not voting for an inappropriate candidate. Sadly, people would vote for a toddler for $hïţś and giggles.

And you need to stop electing politicians to represent you when those politicians have lived apart from you for so long they know longer have genuine knoweldge of their constituents. Twenty years is a good absolute maximum for members of parliaments, senates, judges, and other elected bodies. Twelve years for heads of government and heads of state.

That's why the RCC tried to prevent the translation of the bible into native languages. if they couldn't read it, then they wouldn't know they were being lied to by the person in the pulpit.

Very much so

Well, there's a yes-no answer there. Some religious stuff makes sense given when they made it (for example, the fact that Joseph marries Mary because she was having baby, at the time it would have been much worse for non-married couples to have a kid, though I have a cousin whose parents currently aren't married)

Those countries that have age-appropriate comprehensive s*x and relationship education in schools have lower rates of teen pregnancy, lower rates of teen STD rates, and higher age at the time of the first sexual experience. They also have more young people being happy with their first experience (as opposed to regretting it, or feeling co-erced or not ready and rushing into it). S*x education works-there's a lot of evidence and data showing that.

People conflate life with capable of independent life or complex life. For me, the fact that many pregnancies don't make it through the transition to the second trimester means that biology itself is indicating a pregnancy can be terminated at any time until then. And late miscarriages aren't uncommon either, so... People should have the right to make reasonable choices about their own bodies

It may technically be alive yes, but it's still just a small clump of cells and tissue. It's completely unaware of its surroundings.

Yes, a cell is a living thing....but that cell, or bundle of cells is not capable of sustaining itself outside it's mothers womb. That's the point. A fetus isn't viable until around 22 weeks (yes some handful of cases have eeked out marginally prior to that point, but generally 22 weeks is even a stretch for survival) An egg is a living cell, so is s***m. You can argue for the same potential for life, but it doesn't change reality. Regardless, no one should be forced to become a parent. For that matter, many people who seek to become parents probably shouldn't be allowed.

Can you really not see the difference between a living clump of cells and a living being?

i think we should just keep religion out of the discussion as a whole in any way, shape or form

The Catholic Church used to say that exact same thing. Recently though, they've changed their minds. It was about the same time that laws were being passed giving women more rights and protections. Equal pay for the same job really made some of them mad. Makes you wonder.

True, but it also takes place thousands of years before they invented it.
