    Back in the 70’s I was a van driver delivering ladies sanitary products to supermarkets in north of Scotland . On my first day on the job at my first delivery at the store back door I was greeted by the manageress who shouted to her staff HERE’S THE LASSIE WI THE MANHOLE COVERS. Sanitary towels 🤦‍♀️ Billy is 100% correct here. Nowadays such an exclamation would be deemed outrageous among these offended woke creatures who will never enjoy their lives. I’m 74 now and like Billy, absolutely sick of of all this woke and “I’m offended shit” 🤨

      Lol, that’s a funny story and her saying out loud the manhole covers, lol too funny! And I absolutely agree with you very much, I’m offended that they even use the word “woke”! I’m Mexican-American, a Latina but now the young millennials want us to say, Latinx. Most of my Mexican family over 30 years old laugh or just roll their eyes because to us it’s so ridiculous, it’s either Latino or Latina. When I had to check into the ER department when I was really sick, the guy behind the plexiglass with a dry attitude, named Polo, asked me for information and my husband was next to me, I’m in pain and the guy keeps asking questions then a question that was never asked of me, “Are you a male or a female”?…. Before he could ask if I considered myself anything, and I was in pain with a gallstone attack, I was losing my patients with Polo, “I’m a woman, do you want to see my… my husband stopped me before I got explicit, my husband said, she’s female, trust me! lol.. but Polo just gave me this dirty look. Lol. I know it’s his job to ask questions but I guess I just was never asked those kinds of questions before, this as just four years ago! I have a lot of young nieces and nephews, I really worry about their future, at least my siblings are raising them right and good.

      @Krasbin 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you for writing that. I first thought it was "bayesiist" (from bayesian, as in "bayesian statistics").
      Mind you, bayesian thinking is basically constantly updating with new data (when done properly), which would make a "bayesiist" akin to an empiricist, someone who mainly cares about the data. The only way that would be bad, is if the data is collected to uphold some bureaucracy. And in that case, they would also be "beigeist".

Only the product of a beigeist education would think that their possession of a historical tidbit or normal understanding would make them better than others.

You should ask yourself how stupid that way of thinking is for a person who wishes to be thought of as woke.

People for whom the old system has favoured will naturally be more resistant because they fear what they will lose. This has been the way of humanity.

It's actually about being aware and considerate of others, and giving equal rights to people, as was the goal of abolishing slavery. For example LGBTQIA+ people aren't less deserving of human rights than anyone else. Calling people what they want to be called and other basics of human respect is really not that mad or scary.
