Big statement.

Load of old bollocks, is what I was thinking...

In my quest to get inside the mind of the Dingo, I stumbled upon this article https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=13968 It seems to touch on some of the ideas @Crawley Dingo has tried to express and the author also likes the word immutable. Does this piece chime with your views, Mr Dingo?

It overdid it with the hyperbole imo. This was a more interesting read https://www.cieo.org.uk/research/how-woke-conquered-the-world/ though she also over-eggs the pudding somewhat. I get the impression our antipodean canine friend may be a fan of Joanna Williams.

I was wondering where he was cutting and pasting his horse shit from.

 

[Machiavelli]

Social mobility never existed in Britain - it was an illusion created to give the semblance that people's lives could improve. The improvements that did take place were not because of 'social mobility' but because the trade union movement fought tooth and nail for any and every improvement in wages and conditions.

It absolutely did. It only lasted for a relatively brief period, but I think you'll find that not only was there social mobility in the UK between 1945 and 1979, but inequality decreased too. It's the only time both of those things have happened. Maybe we could all reflect on that.

Those articles should be prescribed for insomnia. They could even put glass eyes to sleep.

Same for the USA and we know what happened next in both countries.

Yeah well no-one wants any of that socialism nonsense!

…ooh, go on, do tell…

It was a joke about a club owner, implying that he was untrustworthy in his actions, but did include a nosh related analogy

I’ll just tag this onto the woke thread rather than start another binfest thread about the snowflake brigade.

I remember seeing that and instantly thinking it was staged. As so many of these type of videos are...

I guess he was a bit of a woke snowflake the way he reacted to her comment about his age but I've seen worse.

Social mobility existed up until around 2000. Yes peoples lives did improve, they have got easier due to technology and its falling cost.

 

[Crawley Dingo]

So in your view ideas can be labelled woke but not people?

Trump could be accused of holding fascistic ideas but not of being a fascist himself?

And to be clear, wokeism destroys meritocracy but meritocracy is a flawed ideology?

Lastly, the judging and rewarding of which "immutable characteristics" would lead to the UK becoming a kleptocracy?

No,Yes, Yes yes, Race, sex and sexuality.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Social mobility ended in the UK around 2000. But they create more winners as well. I'm going to leave it here now and go and laugh at some Chelsea fans I know.

What happened in 2000?

I always thought grammar schools were a driver for social mobility. Obviously the Labour Party thought differently in the 60's though.

Don’t ruin it for him FFS! I bet he was enjoying being triggered!

I read most of the first article and its correct although a bit tangent in parts to my view.(I will come back to read the other thamkks)

I come here for football and maybe drop a few political posts. I neither want or have the time to chew that for days on certain issues, especially ones I am not directly interested in.

Not being rude here mate but wind it up soon K?

 

[Crawley Dingo]

What happened in 2000?

Blair, mass immigration. Standards of living and quality of life began falling around 2000 as well. There may be other things causing those indicators to go south and am open to suggestions.
