Can't believe woke is a thing now. Like I'm pretty sure it was a joke at one point, that if you were woke you knew that the twin towers never existed and the illuminati is recording your voice as you sleep to pick up psychic transmissions

Nothing to declare is trash but it's very funny seeing people repeatedly asked if they have food in their bags and it's a big fine if they say no and it's found still say no and the bag is opened and is entirely fully of food

It was referring specifically to being aware of prejudices and injustice.

The term 'woke' is useful insofar as any article where it's used unironically indicates that the author is an irredemible tool and you're safe to stop reading immediately.

"woke" has become like "pc" or "liberal" or "communism" where chuds use it to mean "anything i don't like" and couldn't tell you what the actual meaning is. see that racehorse owner blaming his horse pissing hot on "cancel culture."

there's technically a distinct sense to "woke", but yeah it's the new "politically correct" in the sense that it gets used in most mainstream press

wokeness originates from cultural marxism but it is not identical to it, i think if one is willing to make some very generous allowances, the right-wing culture warriors do have a reasonably coherent and occasionally interesting view of the history of the western world since the post-war period. it's entirely unreasonable, but a lot of the jargon is actually talking about real stuff which has some level of purchase in society and motivates people to a certain extent - most of the people talking about "cultural marxism" are probably talking about the Frankfurt School tendencies of the thirties, especially represented by Actual CIA Asset herbert marcuse in yankeeland and still extant in every "critical X studies" programme, for instance. this is a real thing which has real influence over contemporary ideology, especially as it's been neutered through filtering it with some of the french post-structuralists, in particular lyotard, which robs it of its practical orientation and gives it a firm introspective bent. this in turn becomes a sort of moral/mental hygiene project, which is what they call wokeness and which includes calls for censorship of certain ideas, deplatforming as a regular strategy, change of street names and public decorations are critically important, consumer boycotts (even individual boycotts) become a matter of public pride etc that this sort of thing is generally restricted to the children of higher education seems fairly irrelevant. in the UK, it's completely bizarre as the frankfurt school never got the sort of purchase that marcuse did in the US and the higher-educated/lower-educated culture war is much less pronounced and so it's filtered through a deeply americanised view and you get these odd second-hand notions where nobody really understand what the terms mean, but they know which team means what and so you sort of go through the motions. i see this all the time in debates in my own country and it's maddening

have people in the UK started talking about "critical race theory" yet. That seems to be the new "cultural Marxism," while woke is more analogous to PC.

redleader posted:once a spook though yeah that's what i was alluding to, marcuse was disquietingly comfortable with working with the US imperial agencies even after the war was over and this should be a part of one's assessment of the man and his motives, whether one considers it an excusable blind spot or something more sinister

They're going to capitulate to every demand Australia makes in the trade deal because they're so desperate to have something positive to announce post-Brexit. Australia is negotiating a trade deal with its 2nd-largest trading partner - the EU. No way they're going to jeopardise that by giving favourable terms to Swamp Island.
