    So that's what the word means to you? What if I told you that I like millions of others have no problem identifying as "woke" and yet almost none of us belong to any such organization at all? You are creating boogeymen.

    Now it makes sense as to why you are so defensive on this topic.

    I thought you said woke doesn't mean anything? Lots of people call themselves Christians and don't belong to any church. I didn't create anything. Just pointing out the woke cults and cultist behavior. If you have the wrong opinion according to general Woke people on what ever social media platform you want to, they will attack you to try enforce their group think. That is cultist behavior. It doesn't necessarily mean you specifically are a card carrying member of Rose City Antifa or any organized wokist cult.

    Woke doesn't have a structure or a leader. It is not even a little bit cult like. It does seem to have inspired a counter culture which seems to have a distaste for and a fear of it.

    It's not one single structure just like Christianity isn't one single structure. And neither have one single leader, instead multiple leaders. Rose City Antifa https://rosecityantifa.org/ is a woke cult. There are many of these woke cults here in the US. Some use the Antifa name, some don't.

    Do you have a wide stance?

    Is that the Oregonian way of asking if I am from Texas? I just moved out of Texas recently, but lived there for over 20 years. Jumped mostly at Skydive Dallas, (now Spaceland Dallas, still forget it changed hands).

    Good Lord. Everyone know that "woke" has no meaning anymore other than "something that upsets conservatives and makes them want to belittle others".

    Obviously I don't agree with that.

    Woke has it's roots in Marxism > Critical Theory > Critical Race Theory > Gender Theory. And appears to be mostly driven by Online Social Media.

    Just my observation.

    That’s even less reasonable than saying that anyone who disagrees with a specific interpretation of woke is a Nazi racist who enjoys oppression

    Not sure which is weirder the Nazi post from a Moderator or the post about MK-Ultra

    No, you didn’t. Why would you think that? Because I answered you? Because I’m female and we get our feelings hurt easier? Because I’m apparently liberal and therefore a snowflake? I’m not aware of anything in my response that indicates emotion, just disagreement with your premise

    Wendy P. 

    I don't know anything about you. Other than apparently you are female based on your picture. I had no idea you were liberal. I apparently miss read your response. This online communication is really poor. Much of the unsaid part of communication is missing. I apologize for misreading your response.

    Let’s try that again. Same applies to Christians, with some saying others aren’t real Christians, or that they’re doing it wrong. Especially if you ask online (in some venues — like, for instance, a Baptist college discussion board, or maybe among the Amish or Mormons).

    Easy, eh? It’s a big world, why not let different groups have different shades of meaning, just like you probably accept among self-proclaimed Republicans (if they caucus with you) or second amendment advocates, even if you disagree on some of the details

    Wendy P. 

    I see I must have hurt your feelings. I get it you don't like the definition I submitted. "why not let different groups have different shades of meaning"  Nothing I said stops anyone form having a different opinion. It's funny how people get upset when faced with a dissenting opinion.

  9. Part of the reason that Woke is hard for people to define is that what the Woke consider appropriate or part of their doctrine changes pretty quickly. While the previous definitions were at one time correct, if you were to talk to those who consider themselves Woke today, you would get a lot of different definitions, many probably wouldn't even be able to define it. Especially if you asked online or in person and depending on what social media platform. What seems to unite the Woke is their fear of being attacked by their fellow Woke online. Just try and define what women is online and see how many Woke attack you.


  10. I think the following is the best description of what Woke means.

     

    It is the modern left/liberal culture created by algorithms on social media. It is characterized by cultlike adherence to rapidly changing ideological foundations rooted in various leftist theories. -- Tim Pool


  11. Nice try but I think my analogy is much more accurate.

    Podesta having his email password as p@ssw0rd is the internet version of leaving the keys in the car.

    Hillary using a private server for government business is also similar and very stupid as she would be a very high profile target. Her losing her phone so many times is just plain stupid also. It's so stupid that it's pretty much a certainty that her server was hacked. If you are going to be that stupid then it is like leaving your keys in your car.

    You can disagree if you want. I will just have to leave it at that and agree to disagree.

    Hillary is a corrupt slimy piece of shit and deserved to lose. Unfortunately Trump isn't much better.

  12. I think they would rather blame Russia then blame themselves or an insider ( which is pretty much the same thing ).

    Even if Russia did it, it's still their own fault for not securing their email. Especially Hillary since she didn't follow standard security protocol.

  13. Who do you blame for leaving the car keys in the car and it getting stolen?

    Insurance companies blame the owner.

    Hillary, DNC and Podesta all had very poor security for their emails. They only have themselves to blame.

    It makes far more sense to me that they are blaming Russia because they are a convenient target and politically they hate them.

    I think it's unlikely that Russia was behind it.

    ********* No evidence has been provided to support this..



    Just because the US intelligence community chooses not to divulge its methods and technical capabilities to YOU, terrorists and hostile nations, doesn't mean no evidence exists.

    They do provide evidence to the relevant committees of both Senate and House, members of which have security clearances.

    Sometimes we just have to believe that even Republican congresspersons do their jobs.

    I don't think they have provided any evidence to anyone.

    Just because you THINK that doesn't make it true.

    Just because you say so doesn't make it true.

  16. Well logically the Republican party was torn apart by Trump. Many of them opposed Trump and still do. And many of them are more then happy to demonize and blame Russia.

    Both parties have a lot in common but everyone focuses on the few differences.

    I find it unlikely that Russia did the hacking. I think it's more likely an inside job for the DNC. Podesta's email was too easy and could have been done by anyone. Hillary was dumb ass for using her private email server which made it easy for competent hacker to hack.

    All of this blaming Russia is more because they hate Russia for the fiasco in Ukraine and the absolute mess that was created in Syria.

  17. Podesta's emails being hacked was his own fault for being a dumb ass and having such an easy password to guess that any teenage hacker wannabe could guess it. A brute force attack would have it cracked in seconds. Blaming the Russians for that is just shifting blame to anyone but themselves.

    Like I said this whole thing is just silly. It's just the Democrat's shifting blame and Russia is an easy target. They have been demonizing Russia for so long it just fits with their agenda.

    His password was p@ssw0rd

    How stupid can you be to use a variation of the word 'password' and then blame the Russians!!!
