It probably has very negative connotations as far as most people are concerned.

A lot of projection there

Its almost like you're not what you claim to be, and are in fact a troll LOL

You remind me of this

Eh? You're the queen of logical fallacies, extravagantly indulging in them in almost every response to anyone with whom you disagree, and yet regularly enjoy accusing others of the self-same thing.

Try constructing a thought-out, reasoned, cogent argument for once.

Agreed. If they are mentioned it just puts me off reading, particularly in social media or forums as when they are used it's normally someone on a mad rant or someone who has to throw out these terms to avoid debating with any substance

A good rule of thumb alright. If woke, political correctness etc. are mentioned, it is nearly certain that the writer is a twat.

Woke is basically the youth/privileged white kids of today who are offended by everything they are social justice warriors who cry out at every opportunity against people who have a different view to them using violence if needs be a bit like Antifa.

What part of anti-racism and social justice do you have a problem with?

I don't think any right minded person has a problem with social justice or anti racism. What gets a little tiresome are people who are offended on other people's behalf.

Also the concept of cultural appropriation or whatever, is a bit of a nonsense in my view. Two incidents that come to mind was the apparent controversy of a white guy with dreadlocks or a little girl dressed as Moana.

Also it was a little bit weird how much abuse JK Rowling got on twitter lately. 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

I'd be a bit less worried about some Twitter abuse aimed at a billionaire author than about the very real abuse heaped on trans people which that same billionaire author contributed to with her dog whistling

Slight bit of a power imbalance there

And again it was telling that Rowling resorted to fake victimhood because she couldn't defend stupid opinions

It's quite a popular medium. Maybe you should try it out.

Do the quotation marks suggest you doubt its existence? I'm not quite sure.

Do the "anti-woke" loonies complain about the vicious abuse dished out to prominent women of colour such as Diane Abbott, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar?

Did they complain about the constant vile misogynist threats against Hillary Clinton in 2016?

Did they fook

They lapped it up and they lap it up

Clinton was totally right with her "basket of deplorables" comment

The whole of right-wing politics is deplorable

I'm very familiar with YouTube, thanks

Strange that you think I wouldn't be

I've no idea why you'd post a YouTube link with no context as some sort of imagined rebuttal though 

Maybe you forgot to write "Do ur own reserch" and "lern to tink 4 urself"

What's clear about you from your posts is that you are a very strange individual who has very little to say yet is also unhealthily angry, and at me for some reason, a forum poster who until recently had never even interacted with you

Great to know I'm not being ignored, at least

Given what you posted last night I think you'd be best off taking a break from the internet and doing some reading instead, because it's clearly not healthy for you

Was this murderer right with her 'totally obliterate Iran', 'we came, we saw, he died' or her misspoken (lying) 'we landed under sniper fire' comments, as well?

What a sh*tty set of views you hold. Your perspective on the world, like those you hold dear like Clinton, et al, are completely vile.

As if you give a sh*t about racism and misogyny.

Utterly laughable.

There's a great deal to be angry about. And it's very healthy to kick against the pricks who think the sh*tty status quo is just dandy.

And evidently I'm one of the very few people on here who does actually read.
