> The study found that British people were just as likely to see ‘woke’ as being a compliment as an insult, with a plurality of people unaware of what the term meant at all.
Does anyone who is genuinely worried about “woke” think they could clear up what they think it is, and why it’s worth worrying about?
The problem is that the most vocal far left twitterati activists still seem to be the subconcious mind of Labour.
So long as they keep feeding the Tories open goals like “what is a woman?”, it’s hard to say the Tories are fighting a culture war, rather than just shooting fish in a barrel to make easy political hay.
I’m not sure it’s a culture war, rather a “I’m a lying cheating scumbag and no one really likes me” war.
Boris Johnson – preceded by the British newsmedia who’ve been attacking “woke” for years.
I mean it was the left wing who started it, he is merely trying and failing to fight back.
The sad thing is how well it works. Any thread on trans people posted here gets thousands of comments, many in support of trans people but more than enough transphobia from people who seem to want this culture war. He can fans the flames because he knows his supporters will happily join him against his bogeyman of the week. Someone will die as a result of his words but he will not care and claim people are making too big of a deal over his comments. He does not care about the power and influence he wields, he just wants to rule over us as PM.
