Why not post the article in full where many fans ridiculed the article

I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

What should we do to balance out this thread. The thread title is offensive. Do we delete the thread or or start up a thread to counter it. Maybe we call it ' dumb fascists'. MODs, your call 55

It's taken over seven months for this thread to offend someone.

I'm sorry. I must try harder.

I didn't say I was offended, I said the title was offensive as it was intended

You could always be offended on behalf of someone else if it helps

Call it what you like, it is a term used by right wing individuals to vilify people with progressive views. Typically as a simple insult where the person uses the term as a catch all, often used without providing a counter argument. What do we call this term?

Vilification, ridiculing, belittling? Probably all of these

You aren't offended personally but suggesting earlier that the Moderator may be interested in changing the title as it is "offensive" is being a wee bit woke, no?

If it honestly does offend you, there are literally thousands of other threads that you can chose to read and contribute to.

I would probably be considered as having "progressive" views, but I certainly wasn't offended.

In fact, I thought at the time that it was quite a clever "headline". 👍

Meghan and Harry use the term 'woke' and they're not right wing. Well, Harry might be, I've seen pictures of him sporting a swastika armband,

To quote my hero Donald Trump .... MAGA

EVERYTHING WOKE TURNS TO SH*T

I watched a few episodes of Little Britain recently ..now banned by the woke brigade .. what has happened to the world where many of the old great classic comedy series are now deemed offensive .. they werent offensive all those years ago to my mother n father but are now to all these soft cock self righteous, screwed up trans fookwits who were born into the wrong body WALOB .. add on racism and bosh bang goes the gollywog off a jam jar and the Blackwall tunnel being lobbied for a name change.

The world has gone mad and getting madder by the day ... i for one will not toe the woke line and continue to say WTF i like to who i like when i like tuff titty if they dont like it. (can i say that) :shock:

If you look at M&H they explained their us of the word, not about slamming progressives but in the context of racism and feminism.
