Theses on "Woke"
Some "Woke" Gals
13 I'm not up on the current "hip kid lingo", so what exactly does "woke" mean?1. "Woke" is pretty much the same as what the old-time Marxists called "class consciousness", i.e knowing that the human race is divided by economic class and that the "proletariat" class needs to overthrow the "bourgeois" class in order to establish the epitome of human perfection, the world-wide communist state. 2. The Marxists also had a term they called "false consciousness." I think it means something like this: you know what "class consciousness" is but you reject it, because you know it's bullcrap. 3. I once heard erg use this term to describe ace. 4. Don't know if there is any comparable term like "false woke". Maybe sleepwalking? 5. Anyway, the point is, "woke" is a concept that was basically lifted from rat bastard commies. 6. Eventually, as blue vs. blue conflict increases, we're going to start seeing "woke fights." 7. They won't be called that, but that's what they are. 8. At some point, the various factions of woke will start making distinctions between "woke" and "woke woke." 9. And these woke groups will be all "woker than thou" to each other 10. To a "woke" person, the only thing worse than not being "woke" is being "woke", but insufficiently "woke." 11. These blue-on-blue slap fights will be hilarous to watch. 12. Even better with popcorn 13. "Woke" is just a way for the in-group kids to communicate their bona fides to other in-group kids and to signal the exclusion of the out-group kids they don't want to let in to the in-group. 14. Yes, we're all living in one big high school now. 15. And "woke" people don't like the new principal. 16. By the way, this is all thanks to progressive politics. 17. A "woke" person's life is consumed by progressive politics, 100% of the time. 18. For example, when he takes a dump, the "woke" guy worries that his poo is opressive to women. 18a. i.e. fart rape. 19. I would not be surprised if they did a survey of "woke" people and discovered above-average rates of mental illness. 20. The opposite of "woke" is normal. That is, if you're not "woke", that means you're a normal person living a normal life.
It sounds stupid, so I am guessing it is not something achieved by hard work and discipline.
Posted by: moki at March 09, 2017 02:22 PM
21. The founding fathers would not have considered "woke" to be an especial virtue.
22. Even if it was their kind of "woke", and not the progressive kind, which they undoubtedly would think was lunacy. 23. The government they implemented is designed to function without everyone having to be "woke." 24. And that's a major selling point of the American system. 25. You know who else was "woke"? Hitler. 26. Also Stalin. And Mao. 27. You don't have to work hard or achieve anything in order to be "woke". 28. You just have to have the proper attitude about things progressives care about. 29. For example, Anita Sarkesian's "wokeness" is what got her on Twitter's Committee For Public Safety where she helps decide who gets censored and who gets banned. 30. In other words, being a "woke" internet loudmouth was pretty much her only qualification. 31. "Woke" people tend to be very adept at this, i.e. worming their way into positions of decision-making authority. 32. Telling normal people what to do is what "woke" people like doing best. 33. And normal people just want to be left alone. 34. But what not many normal people understand is that while they may not be interested in "woke", "woke" is very interested in them.Comments

As a 'woke' supporter, is it possible to get a pink crocheted headcovering with both cat ears and a 'pouch' behind it that fits my man bun?
It would make dressing appropriately so much more comfortable while I'm out actively supporting the cause, and, incidentally, hoping to impress some ladies.

Funnily enough, while "woke" and "red-pilled" have essentially the same meaning - ie, becoming aware of reality - they are in diametric opposition to each other.
"Wokeness" really started with BLM, and was all about "waking up" black America to their structural oppression. It's since gone on to be adopted by other identity groups, like feminists, trans-advocates, etc.
"Red-Pilled," on the other hand, had its genesis in the Men's Rights movement, where it was used to describe men shaking off the feminization of society to embrace a more traditional masculinity (that's a super simplistic definition). It's since been adopted by other anti-PC groups. The recent pewdiepie non-troversy on YouTube had a lot of people talking about how Pewdiepie had effectively "red pilled" 50+ million of his followers to the biased, malicious manipulation of the media.
I honestly think it's fascinating that these two concepts with similar meanings could emerge in parallel, but in opposition. If I were a researcher I'd research it, but I'm not so instead I just bloviate on Twitter. ^_^

I've been trying to think of a good catch-all term for this ideology that's been coalescing over the past decade or so. It's not really Marxism, it just uses the methods and trappings of Marxism. It isn't left or right, to the extent those words have any meaning. It's not Progressiveism, which though alive and well, is not what I believe we are witnessing.
Your post makes me think that Neo-Gnosticism is the word i've been looking for. I don't know if that's ever been a thing though for which that word is already taken. Too lazy to google it.

It's the weight of the door that's the problem, without spring assist.
Which reminds me. Years ago we had a split level house. The garage was actually a drive-in basement, and was directly under the master bedroom.
One morning, around 3:00 a.m., there was loud *WHANG* *CRASH*. Startled the hell out me as I was woke by it.
Turns out that one of the garage door extension springs had picked that moment to fail. Which was good, because they did not have safety cables strung through them, and might have ruined my day if I had happened to be standing there when it went.

The predecessors of the white faction had done a fine job of farking everything up, and the presumption was that the reds would only fark things up in a similiar way - so your average peasant had no dog in the fight.
Of course that ended up not being true...as the peasants would find out after the reds won...

Yes, didn't work, even tried Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair, still the door sits, quietly mocking me. Fortunately, the repair isn't too horrible, a little over 200 smackers. Last summer I had to replace the logic board when mine shorted out. It worked well, but the wiring got caught in the chain, and then I had to go get 18 gauge speaker wire to rewire the logic board to the sensors. Took a little work, but not too difficult.
This year, a broken spring.
Next year I expect the entire garage to collapse on itself.

The springs for my door are 3 feet long with coils that are 4 inches across. nasty mofos. When one of them broke it was at night and it sounded like a tank hit the garage.

9' garage door isn't much of a problem to replace an assist spring on.
Knowing the weight of the door is helpful, but not absolutely necessary. All springs are color coded for capacity, so simply matching colors solves that problem.
I ALWAYS use a safety wire through the middle of the spring, having seem what a chunk of spring coil can do to drywall.

There actually is (or was) an Amazon subcontracting service where you could (depending on the area) put in various service calls through the website. One of them was people who would bring goats out to your property to trim overgrown grass. If they manage to combine lawn goats and drone delivery, I think that would be the coolest thing ever.

Good question. In Iraq, the IED's were almost exclusively artillery or mortar rounds, and I remember hearing an estimate that there was more ammunition in Iraq than in the United States. They had these massive Ammo Storage Points that were as large as little cities.
Afghanistan they dug up mines and repurposed them, but also created ammonium nitrate explosives for IED's. Somehow they had access to PETN to build suicide vests unless they were coming from elsewhere.

Buy it as a complete assembly: with the awning already installed on the tube and the springs in and wound. Buying all the parts separately and then assembling them is a massively time consuming task and it's very easy to tear/gouge the awning fabric when sliding it onto the tube. Plus you have to deal with winding the springs. You're looking at about two hours of frustrating work with two people. By getting the thing factory assembled you just have to unbolt the old tube from the tops of the arms (being careful of the spinning springs!), bolt the new roller and awning assembly on, and remove the cotter pins from the springs. 15 minutes, tops.

Ellison's "Invisible Man" --- IMO the best novel written by an American black and one of the best US novels period --- deals with the subject.
In the end the hero rejects the left because he realizes he and his people are just being used --- which is why the novel isn't assigned nearly as often as it should be, I'm sure.
I re-read it in 2008 and, with it's portrait of the Chicago Left, it gave me chills.

Someone needs to dub that show with dialog from "Fawlty Towers" or some other show that was actually funny.

Especially fun to use recently outdated slang (like "boo" and "yo!") and pretend to be cool.

I over emote in a "look how fucking ridiculous this is" way. I also ask if they can give me the etemology of a current phrase. If you insist on discussing some stupid slang over dinner, they fear using it again because it might set you off.
Of course, I do find parenting via "over discussion" works better than punishments for male children. Works on husbands as well.

Funny, there are so many ways to divide "Them" from '"Us" there are now far more "Them" than "Us". If "Them" ever got annoyed with "Us", well, it would not be a very long fight.
Rise up my fellow "Them"! You only have your annoyance with "Us" to lose!

I can't for the life of me figure out how that show lasted even 1 full season. And before anyone says "bewbs", yeah well the internet is full of bewbs if one can't view them in real life. That show is the single worst show I've ever attempted to watch--I lasted a full 2 minutes of one single episode before realizing that there was absolutely NOTHING compelling about that mashup at all.

The point is that the "races" ARE being used. Even in Native Son Bigger Thomas knows he's being used but the point was that it was OK that he be used for the sake of the collective. It's not like the information on their plan isn't out there, but with the dumbing down of the population along with the triggering they've taught themselves, they can't even look at it.
It's as if the culture taught the population the trigger words (as Ace discussed a couple of days ago) so that when met with any fact that is out there showing what the communist/left/globalist/soros elite plan and want they can't see it because they've all had panic attacks.

God has no "society". So if God is any "gender", "gender" is not a social construct. So few people know when to say "corner case" and shelve the label they're trying to make fit.
God is what he is. (Or as He might say it "I am what I am".) In my belief sexual role is a limitation on God. However, in the Christian tradition, he clearly defines himself as "husband" of Israel and "groom" of the Church "bride". And the "Son" of Man refers to him as "Father" (born of "the Father" and Israel).
All the same, I believe it's a mistake to use "masculine"/"feminine" dichotomy/dynamic of pagan mystics too closely. There are clearly human roles in Christianity that are neither "masculine" nor "feminine", even Jesus praises "eunuchs" (or people that have functionally "emasculated" themselves) "for God".
The whole identity as "transgender" takes it too far, and is mostly arguing in the context of sex as idolatry (as I find it). Thus the more a society promotes as the one sure pleasure, the more those people who feel less natural in any broad sexual role are going to feel at unease matched up to those stereotypes.
So there is a thread of truth in that idea, but not enough to be helpful. God is not "gender-fluid" or "intrasex" or anything that self-concerned about defining himself by his perceived harmony to gender roles. He created men and women. He created what testosterone and estrogen does. He doesn't really on the social mirror that we read to decide our role/identity in life. He just is.

So they created "woke" and so, "Wokers Struggle!".
It sounds close enough to the Marxist-communist "Workers Struggle!" when liberalsplained (what the rest of us call screeching at the top of their lungs) so they're going with it.

One other thing: lube the rail before you slide the awning in (where it attaches to the camper). WD40 works, but I prefered using Remington DriLube. Also, whichever end you're sliding it in from, bend the lips slightly outward so the edges don't snag and tear the awnign fabric. Just bend them back when it's in place.

I feel the same way about "woke" as I do when I hear "sheeple". These are people who typically feel very strongly about sweeping changes to complex systems they don't understand.

The thing about sleep, is that you can't have a reasonable conversation with somebody who is sleeping. They won't respond to any good argument about their snoring. So it's just another way to characterize somebody who is annoyingly disagreeing with you.

I have the same issue. No friends I could call on though so I used the floor jack to prop it up about a foot high and the garage door opener was able to lift the door with a little help from yours truly.
Yeah, when the spring broke I was right under it-thought I was a goner.
