[Politics] OUT OF 10 how woke is NSC

[BadFish]

Parents aren't infallible this is true, they do however have the right to expect that their children can go to school and not be indoctrinated into a teachers political, sexual or personal views.

Many of the programs that some of these people would implement do nothing but confuse the crap out of young children who cannot in anyway process the adult concepts these teachers are trying to push onto them in the name of "education".

Now this one I may have to confess too.

There is a fair chance that there are a couple more Brighton fans running around Geelong than there were before I started teaching.

I think you misjudge the world kids live in these days, or their capacity to understand it through teaching.

Oh of course , most kids i see in friends and clients houses are glued to some sort of device or other , i'm not disputing the environments for todays kids are completely different , my wife's nephew is 14 and has savings of nearly 6k from crypto and gaming , how he's done it i don't know as you need to be over 18 legally but his parents don't mind as it keeps him occupied. Im sure he is able to access all manner of material whilst on line .......is it good for his brain...?? time will tell.......i have asked him how these games, nft's and trading bots work but he can't explain it to me ......unfortunately

I suspect the physiological workings of paracetamol on pain receptors also can't be readily explained by the users of such analgesia, but that does not mean they are dangerous / a myth / etc. You don't have to know the ins and outs of everything to make use of it.

that is a very good point but there is a lot of material on line that would be regarded as unsuitable for 8 or 9 year olds but they have unfettered access to it , i mean 3 clicks in to the daily mirror page and your looking at a dribbling boner....!!

That, we'll be prepared to take your word for

By that twisted logic, there is a lot of potential evilness out in the wide world that your example child has access to. Why, I live not 3 minutes walk from a train station, and a 9 year old could leave my house, jump on a train and be large'ing it up with a load of London gangbangers within an hour. My question to you, is who should I be shouting blame at for this event?


I'd like it put on record, that I don't have a 9-year old, so any that head from mine into London should not have been here in the first place.

Plenty of people who would have once been considered left leaning are now considered right wing Nazis by the ultra woke.

This is the ridiculousness of these groups of people.

JK Rowling a perfect example.

Not sure people are obsessed with them, it's more when they try to bully regular people into believing what they believe.


They are the modern day versions of the Evangelists of the 60's/70's who tried to force everyone to believe and think like they do.

just so i've got it straight in my head; woke is good, ultra woke is bad, and you are woke, is that right?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You're right. It was a word used mainly in online sloganeering when first coined by the American left. People displaying perceived unawareness of the disadvantages suffered by others were encouraged to 'get woke'. It suffered the oft repeated mistake of left wing politics in haranguing people rather than trying to win them over.

As they often do, the right then adopted the word as a belittling stereotype that allowed them to attack the straw man rather than address the, usually valid, political points being raised. Its since become a common ad hominem that is used to dehumanize opponents in the culture wars. As a result, it is now seldom used by anybody to self identify.

The thing that always irritated me was the pointlessly incorrect usage of the past perfect tense instead of the present contiuous. The term should not be woke. It should be awake. However, I'm a middle class English white bloke, educated in the English education system, and should perhaps be more awake* to the fact that the standard idioms that comfort me are not the common vernacular of the rest of the world's English speaking peoples. Or as Reg D Hunter put it:

Nathan Barley was a work of genius and I echo your encouragement to anybody who hasn't seen it to watch all of it. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/nathan-barley


*- Here was an opportunity for me to use 'woke' instead of 'awake'. I just couldn't do it. I'd feel like one of those posh people who insist on pronouncing foriegn language terms with an over-exaggerated accent.

Cheers mate. That all makes sense.

That Reginald D Hunter clip is hilarious

The problem with woke is it leads to lesbians with penises and guff like white privilege.

Seems like the poll thinks that NSC is woke who would have expected that
