Or just talk to someone from Poland, Hungary, or Ukraine that was alive in the 50s or 60s.

I don’t think he came here to shite on the U.S at all, but there are plenty of things to shite on at current. He just asked have we recently visited any places outside the U.S where the woke bs wasn’t noticeable.

He’s actually questioning if other places in the world are currently as woke as the U.S.

To answer, I have not, but my mom went on a South America trip and she said “none of that bullshite was there, and it was glorious”

The woke bs is really bad in our country right now & it’s sad you’ve got to go out of the country to get away from it.

You're half right...but it's LIBERAL America that creates and exports the woke...which is why the people you're laughing at for whining about it are mostly conservatives...cause they hate it too

I'd have thought you would be able to make the connection...but I guess not

No idea what you’re talking about. I’m talking about conservatives who think modern some ideology is the creation of somewhere else (usually those damn Euro socialists) - a prevalent belief

They have real world shite to worry about in places like that. We have what’s called first world problems and it’s going to eventually drive us to third world problems if they keep having their way.

If you are actually curious about the origins of American 'woke-ism' listen to this:

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 56

The ideology that is most conveniently identified as "Wokeness" is much more accurately described by the phrase Identity Marxism. That is, Wokeness is a Marxian approach to identity politics for similar aims to those Marxism has always touted. In this regard, Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism; Critical Gender Theory is Gender Marxism; Queer Theory is Gender, Sex, and Sexuality Marxism; Fat Studies is Fat Marxism; Postcolonial Theory is Postcolonial Marxism; and Disability Studies is Disability Marxism. All together, working intersectionally, they are one new species of Marxism: Identity Marxism. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay walks the listener through a history of the various strains of Marxist thought to make the case that Wokeness is best thought of this way. Indeed, it must be understood this way. In so doing, he elucidates what Marxism really represents as a broad, overarching philosophy (or, religion) and indicates that the various species of Marxism, including vulgar, Cultural, neo-, and now Identity Marxism, are all essentially the same project in different guises. Join him for a penetrating discussion that frames Wokeness as it really is.

You have been conditioned beautifully, like a virtual tranny (no balls).

I wish I could virtue signal like you, so stunning and brave to not care as the country is run into the ground.

I trust if you are white you will volunteer your kids to pass up their dream careers for the sake of DEI. I hope they have to do it.

Humans need drama. We need some type of stress. When we have none, it gets manufactured. And when that happens, all the people missing it but nothing realizing they need it will flock like a moth to a flame.


People in other countries don’t have that need because they have legit 3rd world problems

There are probably obscure, worse ideas coming from random places even now, but I don't think anyone is exporting bad ideas as successfully as we are. And the bad ideas we're promoting are really bad.
It's hard for me to wrap my head around the support for Ukraine. I get it from a democracy standpoint and all the politics behind it.

But the U.S. is basically paying Ukraine to have their people killed simply because our politicians hate Russia and love war. It's fricking sickening.

I really hope we get someone new in the Whitehouse. Biden is shite, Trump has his turn and made an arse of himself just as Biden is doing now, although in different ways. We should want forward thinking people in that office. Not all these old fricking dinosaurs who are completely out of touch with the reality of the country.

We, as a country, should be embarrassed that our last 2 elections were Hillary v Trump and Biden v Trump. We have got to do better. That's a fricking joke.

USA is the crazy billionaire grandpa that everyone plays along with because they want his money.

I don't doubt for a second that if and when things get difficult all of our so called allies won't hesitate to throw us under the proverbial bus.

This. USA is the greatest country in the world. We have our faults. But just try to get decent health care or education or even consistent electricity in some of these “non-woke” countries.

Or hey, why not the Middle Ages? And by the way, guess who was allied with and supported, the regime that took over those countries and controlled them in the 50s and 60s.

Not this human. Daily living with family, kids and work is enough. This manufactured bs is for folks with too much time on their hands.

I'm ready for the day when the only stress I have is getting the grass cut before it rains.
