War on Woke: Conservative Cultural Campaigning

[8ball]

Nice bit of inter-generational conflict

Yeah, I don't think many older people are going to really give a shit about youngsters taking account of their friends' dietary preferences.

Pretty sure that extremely anti-woke Christians have criticized Jesus or the New Testament for being SJW and woke.

Ahh... the old "nice Jesus" versus "fash Jesus" thing.

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (for depicting other faiths as being “outside of God’s grace”) and Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending (the clergy have been sent a link to research suggesting the second verse contains “problematic words” by stating Jesus is the “true Messiah”).

I've never heard either of these

I suppose there is Good King Wenceslas who gives some lazy povvo food and wine at Christmas and the carol's woke suggestion that those who help the poor will be blessed.

To my list from earlier this year we can add:

Sandwich fillings liked by young people
Milk that isn't full fat
Swearing (because the BBC's 'woke' 'Great Expectations' - see below - had swearing in it)
Being interested in history
Healthy food
Talking about feelings
People of colour existing
LGBTQ+ people existing
People of colour being cast in anything (See 'Great Expectations above)
LGBTQ+ people being cast in anything
Women being cast as the leads in anything
Working from home
Hybrid working
Civil servants
The armed forces
The police
The British Establishment
The National Trust

Some contributions from the railway forum I frequent, which is mostly populated by men of a certain age:

• Train announcement in regional accents;
• Centrally locked doors (as opposed to the old school ones where you had to lean out of the window and turn the outside handle).
• The new names for the overground lines.

 

[Cloo]

Oh yes, mustn't forget the Overground line names, gosh can't they just name things after dead white men like they have for the last few hundred years!!!

She's probably thinking of Once In Royal David's City, in which an economic migrant enters a country so stuffed with people they're sticking them in cowsheds, where she births another bloody mouth to feed, the foreign hussy. And then it does that classic libtard trick of pointing out how many benefits these people supposedly bring to society. I mean just look at this leftie drivel:

His shelter was a stable,
and His cradle was a stall:
with the poor, and meek, and lowly,
lived on earth our Savior holy.

Peace on Earth and goodwill to all sounds like some hippy commie nonsense

 

[Cloo]

Yes, that was NOT the message of Jesus at all. He just wanted a good return for shareholders.

Just got back from Christmas Mass where that was one of the carols we sung, though I also remember it from school carol services about 50 years ago.

This woke nonsense has obviously been going on far longer than anyone realised
