Lead Belly knew anti racism and class consciousness were stronger together. So when we take up the magnificent Kathy Burke’s war cry, “I’d rather be woke than an ignorant twat”, we join with Lead Belly in forging that awareness in the fire of class consciousness.
Probably about time we had a single thread on this as the conservatives have been making efforts to launch this the last few months and are really stepping up with the assault on heritage bodies and unis rumoured this week.
I don't really know what woke is. What I do know is that every time I see someone declaring war on something (that's not actually a declaration of war as in shooting and dying) its been a total and embarrassing loss. Utterly routed in every regard.
I see no reason why this also won't end the same way.
"The British war on woke is an intensive ideological campaign against social justice movements that is mobilising far-right tropes and conspiracy theories within mainstream British political discourse. It sees itself in a battle of good versus evil, reason against the dark forces of pre-modernity, ‘Cultural Marxists’ and a ‘globalist elite’ intent on ruining ‘western civilisation’ and replacing ‘white’ British culture with woke multiculturalism. The authors examine this campaign’s discourses on various digital media including magazines, blogs, news sites and Twitter, and used search engines and a media database to capture a network graph of a community waging its war on woke. Using the graph metric of ‘betweenness centrality’, they isolate and visualise a small densely inter-connected homophily of political actors who share media platforms and cooperate with think-tanks, campaign groups, and ‘educational charities’. Using van Dijk’s concept of the ideological square, they explore the conceptual logics driving this campaign to its extreme positions, often justified on the basis of representing the interests of the British white working class."

Complete List of Woke Companies (Updated July 2024) - Dave Seminara
A couple years ago, I wrote a piece for The Wall Street Journal lamenting how companies I patronize have turned increasingly political and woke. Many speciously echoed Democratic Party claims that Georgia’s recent voting law is racist without specifying how so. Others have been woke for a long...daveseminara.com
Woke (noun) : a sociopolitical idealogy characterized by the manipulation of noble goals (such as equity, inclusion, social justice, and environmental stewardship) by tyrannical left-wing zealots for the purpose of controlling and destroying American society
1: it's an adjective, akshully
2: even this dingus admits it has noble goals
You'd think that if 450 companies, most who are global, and the reason for most of these companies to be 'woke' is making more profits. This person might just have a think to about whether they are right or not.Goodreads (please read about how these dirty rotten scoundrels cancelled me and my books here!)

Tugenhut wibbled something about "the role of the armed forces is to kill the kings enemies" - pathetic macho posturing - dont think ive ever heard them desctibed in this way. Unless their has been a change in their role and the likes of meghan markle, martin bashir and piers morgan are about to be taken out by the SAS.
The war on woke is overwhelming the armed forces this week.

"We need to stop making white people feel guilty for being white. Critical race theory, white privilege and unconscious bias should be constantly debunked as Left-wing militancy.
