A great thread at Not The Bee.

Post your favorites or tell us about your own woke breaking point.

Pronouns.

"You need to refer to me in the plural."

"OK everybody, when referring to Jim in the future please say they used to work here. Thanks."

I've already figured out that if my pronouns are demanded I will say that I haven't decided yet.

What can they say to that?

When they stole all the elections

Being told I wasn't black enough growing up (I don't look it at all)

Then watching the country embrace a 1/2 black president as black.

You ain't a brother if you're diluted...unless your famous.

See Markle, Meghan

When they tried to make business owners bake the gay cake.

when being conservative is the equivalent of being a nazi or a terrorist

Early '60's when I came into the world.

Probably `cultural appropriation'. Along with pronouns. CRT just pushes it over the cliff.

When black people, who are on the whole the most racist demographic in existence, started blaming everything bad in the world on white "racism." That was probably 15 years ago.

FIFY

When I saw a feminism thread on another forum drove out literally every single biological woman and was entirely composed of 100% trans. It was incredible to watch it happen over the course of a single year.

I was in college (1995) and the LGBQ (I think that's all that was part of the "alphabet" group at the time) organization on campus decided to put up signs across campus about Gay Pride week and how you could show support by wearing jeans that week. Jeans? In Texas? Come the **** on! That was the beginning of my "woke" awareness. I was already a fiscal conservative thanks to being smart, living in reality and also listening to Rush Limbaugh at work, daily.

I thought the jean wearing to support LGBQ was hysterical when it happened at A&M.

So many khakis were worn that day

Funnily, I had a few gay friends, and even they thought it was dumb. We were in Texas, where people wear jeans because...well....we wear jeans.

Racist

When the company I work for provided us with an alternative company logo. Instead of a single color, it was rainbow plus black and brown stripes. We were not required to use it but ridiculous nonetheless.

This, I have withstood a lot but I identify and support feminism and the TERF-accused. Trans women as a population can be toxic and invasive of feminine spaces that need to remain feminine, to include sports and domestic abuse shelters.

That was my beginning of my change from libertarian to ultra far right.

When I was in school in the late 70s most of my gay friends wore khakis, loafers and Lacoste polo shirts. They were usually the best dressed guys on campus. LOL.

How many of your Gay friends found out it was easier to come out to their conservative friends as Gay than it was to come out to their Gay friends as conservative?

It happens a lot.

They stole every election? Lost seats in the house and only squeaked a tie in the senate, seems like they didn't steal anything.

With the tiebreaker going D. They didn't need to win big. Just win some.

True. Besides, the narrative such as it is is that even the Nov 4 chicanery was ad hoc. Carried out hastily because conditions exceeded expectations. There was no time or interest to fool with small fry. Some of the Senate outcomes were a little sketchy anyway.

Being told what that I have to support every crazy woke concept or I am a a bad person.

Woke? Probably Ferguson.


The last MF straw? Kavanaugh.

You either get the proper pronoun or "it" *****. You're welcome.

The Woke Breaking Point

Good read.

Quote:

---

Almost everybody has a Woke Breaking Point. A point of Peak Woke. Or, at least, they should.

There should always be a line that, once crossed, signifies to someone that the ostensibly good or noble thing they currently support has soured or, as the case may be, gone completely bad. We all know the history of the twentieth century (or, so I delude myself into believing). Certain features of the Woke ideology, even if only on its extreme fringe, show shocking potential for being a totalitarian nightmare unfolding before our eyes, especially because so many good and decent people so vigorously (and viciously) support it all of a sudden. Even the rapidity with which it is spreading is disorienting, and thus alarming.

I realized the importance of establishing a "Woke breaking point" the other night while discussing the bizarre defenses of our current era with a brilliant friend. We were talking about the people in our lives who have hit their Woke breaking points and those who haven't. It struck me that many of the people in my life who remain sympathetic or outright denialist about the excesses of the Woke (Critical Social Justice) movement haven't grappled with the possibility that it isn't quite the noble and necessary cause that it sells itself to be.

What I realized is how very helpful it is for people, rather than becoming confrontational, to encourage their Woke-sympathetic friends to start identifying and naming what their non-negotiable lines will be. People's lines willand shouldvary, but as things get increasingly extreme, they will also get crossed more and more certainly. Knowing the line has been crossed, however, takes knowing there is a line and where it is.

The question to pose, then, is simple enough: What would it take for you to say that the Woke movement has gone too far?

When Obama used a legitimate police situation to create Beergate and get the snowflakes bought into the lie that there is systemic racism keeping the black man down.

Did anyone actually say this to you? Were you actually "told" this?

Wondering how much of this pain and stress you guys feel is self-inflicted. Probably 100% of it.

Well that's a different question. All the history erasing and anti-Western Civ stuff is pretty much that line. That's why quite open to Texit now if that crap keeps getting pushed. A government and media of that bent is useless.

When people started kneeling fir the national anthem.

F that.
