The Pride thread 🌈

[the phantom menace]

Deary me... woke woke woke woke woke? Nope, I'm not feeling it's a great shorthand for anything meaningful, other than within the simpleton conservative media brigade.

That aside, it still doesn't rescue the four sentences you wrote from being piffle, and not providing any solutions to the issue raised in the article, or to contribute any alternate ideas to the betterment of Pride (the subject of the thread discussion).

Thanks for your concern though... I do understand the gays, and Pride, and all the things this thread is about.

When gump led his contribution with terms like "woke", it was clear it was just the work of an AI chatbot parroting shit they'd heard or seen in the conservative media.

It's ok to admit you didn't understand the put down.

You are just showing yourself to be a smug dismissive f**kwit. Why not argue this issues at hand?

What issue or argument? Gump didn't raise anything coherent to respond to....

As per the article, the education didn't work within the entrenched rugby culture, and so needs a new approach - one where people are challenged to reexamine the assumptions they have been raised with and embraced.

There - I probably agree with him, but did it in one sentence, without needing to repeat the brain dead 'woke' shorthand term three times, or indulging in extra sentences of irrelevant ChatGPT waffle around the edges.

Since the problem is your frustration that the people you despise refuse to genuflect to the people you like, I'd say the solution to the issue is self-evident.

Maybe you need to challenge your assumptions?

Except you've avoided the key point about the white middle class trying to compel their lessers to adopt their values.

what the f**k is Gump? ..... you blurt out some rant about simpletons, then come up with something called Gump ..... ironic?

He's goosing himself deluxe but still smugly thinks he knows more than anyone else.

It’s OK to admit you don’t understand something.

If you dont understand something just ask Dr Mushroom.

Terms like ‘woke’? You know that’s how they self-identify? I used to be woke myself, until I went back to uni in my late-20s.

‘Woke’ is a great shorthand. We all know what it means. We just disagree on the usefulness or internal consistency of the ideology.

I only heard of the word in the last 12mths. Prior I thought woke was about being asleep and getting up. "I woke up"

This is what annoys me about conservative people. The way things where 75yrs ago where terrible. And back then many accepted it as ok. How women where treated and black people was foul. Even in the 80s it felt like bullying was fine and a way to toughen up.
So trying to fix some of the wrong is part of evolving. Unsure why people don't understand this.

I think you might be reading much way too much into posts on a forum, and getting too upset - none of the above words are even occurring or are relevant.

Ah yes, you just want people to be kind, right? Such a harmless ideology! 'Punching down' is wrong! Except when the targets are people of lower socioeconomic status. Working class Polynesian Christians are obviously terrible oppressors. They must be reeducated to challenge their assumptions!

Not sure. I was raised to never trust a man with purple legs. Your parents didn't teach you the same?
