'Anti-woke' caller tries to explain what the phrase means... It did not go well | LBC 

It's always psychological projection. Always.

@@antediluvianatheist5262 You mean like that one MAGA dude who called all liberals p*dos only to turn out to be one himself?

that is exactually what todays woke idiots do.

Always...@@antediluvianatheist5262

@@antediluvianatheist5262 I used to think that was just pop psychobabble, but the last few years have convinced me otherwise. They always accuse the other side of the thing they did, are doing, or will do. They seem to be unable to help themselves.

That’s what poorly educated people do.

People tend to afraid of what they don't understand. This is perfect example.

@@absolutechadd8895 Yes, willfully ignorant people are afraid of things they don’t know. Whereas intelligent people seek out information on things they don’t know.

He can. He just won't because he knows he'll paint himself as a bigot.

hes been told to be

He’s not the smartest and doesn’t express himself well at all but I see where he’s coming from. Of course he could say but he doesn’t know what the consequences of saying it are. I don’t know what he was wanting to say so it’s hard to argue whether correct or not but that part does sort of prove his ‘point.’ If he was more intelligent and articulate he could have made it a more even argument, instead he got demolished.

I noticed that. You can't make this stuff up.

@@aljones75 The argument can never be even. Wokeness is simply being well-informed of social problems such as racism and social inequality. You can't be against that unless you happen to be an overall bigot. This person is not as inarticulate as he came across to be. He simply couldn't come up with anything that would not make him look bad. That's what he really meant by, "We're being silenced!": We can't insult anyone we don't like because you will make us look like the jerks we are.

@@Arcadia61 Excellent! Couldn’t have said it better myself!👍🏾👏🏾

@@aljones75 ​ You are obviously trying to give this guy a pass-Mary Ann Borg told you everything you needed to know. Sigh..

Which is irony that woke is literally being against social injustices. So those against that are in favor of hatred and bigotry, having lived a life of pure privilege and upset that the way things were is factually wrong.

it means pure fascism

Why don't you inform us" "It's don't want to quote examples, really" "But you brought this up" "I think you know what I mean" "I have no idea. Please tell me" "I have been cowed into silence by you lot"

patiently being the key word, this guy is being **charitably** patient.

@@valueriewhat’s that supposed to mean? 😂

They’re angry about whatever they’re told to be angry about even if what they’re being told to be angry about isn’t even defined! They’re being moved about like mindless cattle by whatever their masters tell them.

You just described American and British conservatism.

@@StevenEveral they are really just about he same aren't they. My cousin living in Australia said the same thing about conservatives in Australia.

They wait to be told what to be angry about. One day it's Bud LIght, then Target, Disney, and now North Face. It's drag queens and whatever else they're told to be upset about.

He knows what he's angry about, and he knows that he's in the wrong. He just doesn''t like to be called out on it. Putin's propaganda machine, through social media, and people like Trump, Boris Johnson, and right wing media have convinced these bigots that they need to fight back against our western social values, like equality and general human decency.

Exactly, it's lovely

Doesn't always work but it's always amusing to see them fumble after you ask for an explanation

And then they say: 'Oh, you know what I mean. No, come on, you know what I mean! That thing we both dislike because we're the same. We're the same, you and me!' Then you can shake your head sadly as they collapse into the vortex of their own intellectual cowardice. I grew up in Essex, so I know an annoyingly large number of people like this. 😞

Ask them what the official, concensus definition of Woke is.

For me , i Unterstand woke as performative progressivism, People who do not really care about the betterment of society as a whole or groups of people in society. People who grift of movements use heavy words to appear as allies of movements and hinder real discussions and change. I would also add people who just involve in progressive politics for their Own Social stamding.

😂 But my rights...

because, if he even had anything on his mind, he knows those things are hurtful and bigoted and people aren't crazy for being offended

I think I have an idea of what he "can't say anymore" and it's slurs.

Maybe he meant it literally

Well he can’t say what he can’t say anymore, and that might be the problem he means.

Maybe don't call in if you don't know what you're talking about?

I mean... Net positive outcome.

I think what he means to say is that he feels as though he can not express how he truly feels for fear of being harshly judged, and rightly so.

@@birdtarmac Yeah, sounds about right. Unfortunately he could not express that in an elocuent way.

​@birdtarmac that's really at the heart of being "woke" and it's why bigots hate it so much.

A few things about your statement to consider: When you say someone has lived their "entire life in privilege" I'm assuming that you mean a white person living in a western society. My feeling about this notion is this: if you are white and of middle or upper class, then you have privilege. If you are black or brown and you're upper class, you have privilege. "Privilege" has much more to do with class than with race. If you are white and of lower class and your parents were ignorant, poor, perhaps suffering with substance abuse and/or mental health problems, then you don't have "privilege" in society. When compared to a person of minority status in the same situation, your edge or advantage in competing in society is negligable. And there are waaaay more poor white people than rich white people. So the notion that absolutely all the white people are walking around with "privilege" is a fiction. Lower class whites know this. They rightly reject to notion that they're in any way privileged. So when they see educated and successful black or brown people pointing fingers, criticizing the society that they've thrived in, and going on and on about being "oppressed" by whites, lower class whites sit there and say to themselves, "What the heck are you talking about? I'm privileged and you're oppressed? Really? Look at you!" I think this is much of where the resentment around "wokeness" comes from. Of course, there is flat out racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia associated with this resentment...those are all real things. But to me it's more about poor whites being told they have something that they really don't have: a signifcant edge to competing in society.

@@jaydubya3698 you ignore so many things to come up with this flat wrong statement.

Boom

​@@jaydubya3698white folks flat out have privilege beyond imagination. The problem is alot white folks are scared and reluctant to admit it, because they know what they inherited is from a life of privilege, so the privilge continues, note, inherited, not what they worked for. Look up the FHA ACT of 1934 and learn how 34 years of privilge helped multiple generations of white folks get a head while others did not.

I came across that phrase several times this week and it is so true!

😂

😂😂😂 He is an embarrassment 😂

almost.. i know i have white male privilege and as a german i live in a stable society. So I don't think my privilege is no problem. Guess i am just woke :D

Spot on. Those are the people that don't understand BLM because they never had an officer pull them over for "driving while white".

No, that is called selfishness.

Eg a woke activist who thinks that censorship on the university campus isn't a thing to be concerned about.

@@Gary_oldmans_left_nut when the censorship is about ppl claiming something is "wOkE" I am perfectly fine. When it comes to human dignity we should never under no circumstances argue against.

His “ anti woke “, is not wanting to hear about black, brown and other people that he feel is beneath him and therefore his interest in learning about them or their customs is zilch , nil , none. That’s why he was “frightened” to go down the rabbit hole. There I put words in his mouth , coming from an “ aware “, black woman. Who don’t hate people , just despise unkindness ,

What I don’t understand is why “woke” people need a white straight male’s approval so badly. Like if he said what he wanted to say… why would they care? Why are they so weak and insecure where their happiness hinges on what other random people think of them?

Belated self-awareness and shame.

Exactly, "woke" is a convenient pejorative to demonise having empathy.

@@andybeans5790 if someone needs my empathy or if they need me to be “inclusive” of them… then they are weak.

...being asked to express himself and actively refusing to.

What they call “wokeness” is everywhere , it’s very real and it’s harmful. And then idiots like this guy pretend like it doesn’t exist.

And was literally asked to.

Now you understand the hilarity of right winger 🤡s constantly whining on various platforms to millions of people about being silenced and censored 🤣

Lol

CelynBrum Hear Hear 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The caller has got an over inflated opinion of himself and should have been stuck to the old saying " A bit of quiet on your part would be highly appreciated "

It’s like something straight out of Flying Circus.

I m dying

That was brilliant.

What a wondrous web we weave when we practice to deceive.....this quote applies so much to this guy..literally dug such a huge hole for himself...it was amazing to hear!!!

Because he knows the consequences of saying out loud what he REALLY means. He's tired of being asked to care about anyone else.

@@twistysnacksit’s because he’s got no idea what he’s on about really

​@@twistysnackswe should as a society care about each other

It's political correctness gone mad Stu

Can you imagine having an instagram account dedicated to being “anti woke” sounds strange to me

It's because he was probably being blatantly dishonest and didn't want to talk about them because he knew how it would come off

Yep he was lying. He's anti council or public sector for some reason snd thinks that his bin men and the blokes who fix our river banks are on these courses. I'm sure they're not. When he says self employed I think he .means as a government artist, he draws the dole.

I'm from the US, and it sounds like he was talking about diversity training, which isn't much different from what kids are taught on Sesame Street about getting along with people who are different. I don't know why that angers people so much.

@@daeviant well people tend to seek offense where it doesn’t exist as the caller explained

"I'm just really offended by these people who get really offended over nothing". So what was the couses about? "I can't really say."

I'm not sure these people have enough brainpower to make that realisation.....

this is a profound statement that would give the average trump supporter a brain aneurysm trying to understand it.

Oh, I love this comment. I will be repeating it.

They know that their side is right and the other side is wrong, they just can't put their finger on why exactly.

Hardest thing for anyone to do, is admitting they have an issue. This gentlemen, when saying the quiet part out loud is realizing just how hateful his point of views really are.

When it comes down to it you can almost hear those rusted and dusty gears finally start turning since 4th grade, as they realize that to voice “their views” would put them in bed with the objectively dumbest and worst of the entire world’s population. A position with zero academic support and makes them sound exactly like a Saturday morning cartoon villain. Its like for just a moment they actually have a little shame.

"HELP, I'm being silenced for my views!" He said with a microphone purposely given to him by the opposition literally begging him to explain his views.

Hilariously enough, woman's football is legitimately more enjoyable than men's football, because it's not as overpaid and dramatized. No rowdy fans constantly chucking stuff at the field, no double backflips because somebody stepped on your toe, no teams that dominate the league because the sponsor could afford throwing more millions at the player market. Just teams of eleven players doing their best to get a ball into a goal.

⁠@@AlblakaChelsea have won the Women’s Premier League 7 times out of the last 8 seasons. It’s further from a level playing field than the men’s game.

@@michaelberry5955 thats exactly what man city are doing lol

@@Alblakaagreed. Womens rugby too, you see the passion in the players a lot more. Also it’s really cool watching local games of tag rugby when the women wipe the floor with the men!

i just like looking at a woman for 90min instead of a man. same reason I always choose the woman character in video games, its just easier to look at for long periods of time.

or in their personal lives. How many of these "anti-wokesters" had loved ones grow tired of their bigotry and stop associating with them? how many of them are estranged from their children because of their bigotry? they obviously lack the introspection to understand that they're the problem, so they go on to blame "wokeness" for the fact that their family refuses to see them anymore.

Yup.

It begs the question: why is it such an excruciating, intolerable loss to not say bad things to/about other people anymore?

@@DurgenheimI agree, but you mean “raises the question” not “begs the question”

That's exactly what it is. There is also some overcorrecting that has happened as a result but for the most part, just act like u got some sense at work and u will be fine. It's work, it's not a sports bar. There will always be some overcorrecting when money and livelihoods are at risk. It's like when I worked at Kroger. We had to ID everyone for alcohol. That's bc we don't want to leave the discretion up to each individual, potentially idiotic employee. Everyone's line is different. That's why we have to have a common line that covers most instances

This is so true

Explain what it is to them and see how they react. Probably with their stock of deflections, false equivalencies, and armies of straw men.

Anti-woke is what my 11 year old is when it’s time to get out of bed and go to school.

The way I see woke, based on the way people use it as an insult, is it's people accepting of other people regardless of how zany their beliefs may be to them. With that definition, anti woke is people who don't like those who are accepting of other's beliefs.... Basically anti woke is crying about people that are okay with stuff 😂

​@@simplekid4328 to be fair it is the same argument people use against religion, you can be as accepting as you want but you don't get to decide for everyone what is or isn't acceptable for everyone else. ("You can play with your toys all you want, you can't come over to my house and make me play with your toys"). No one seems able to articulate that argument though, what springs to mind when I see it is South Park's "rabblerabblerabble" during mob scenes 😂

I think it's equally important to note here that it's not necessarily his fault he failed. Capitalism is designed to make people fail. It's why your electronics are designed to become obsolete within a year of coming out, your car is designed to break down sometime shortly after it's warranty is up, your rent continues to increase while your wage continues to decrease, and you have no reliable way to feed and house yourself without selling your labor to someone else. Now granted this particular individual likely had a pretty solid gig driving busses which he likely squandered by his own actions judging by how he described the classes he took, and that is certainly his fault. But we aren't telling the whole story if we don't also admit that he's living in a system designed to keep him subservient to the ruling class and actively prevent from achieving the sort of financial success that he's envious of that would free him from that societal prison that's causing him so much grief to begin with. This individual, and many others just like him, are only taking out their frustrations on the wrong people. They place the blame on others partially because they don't want to own up to their own actions, yes. But also partially because they've been thoroughly brainwashed into believing the actual root of their problems *aren't* actually the problem. They're misled into projecting their anger at others in the same boat as them so they don't, rightfully, turn their attention towards the yacht full of the people who are actually causing his problems

What got me was: “We’re in an echo chamber” (or something like that, I couldn’t understand what he was saying there and the CC conveniently decided not to work at that bit, only word I understand was “echo chamber”) “Do you know what that means?” “No I don’t but you’re gonna tell me” Like bro you use a word you don’t even know the meaning of!

​@@justarandomhorrorfan7899 I think he said "echo chamber" which is a phrase for when talking about a subject everyone is saying the same thing and agreeing, so like an environment wherein all people hold the same beliefs and no one disagrees with those beliefs- he doesn't actually know what the phrase he used means.

Gotta blame SOMEBODY ammiright?

It's very ironic that someone uses a term like "echo chamber" and doesnt understand what it means, he literally did the "echo chamber" thing right there xD

It's quite fascinating. Why would being fair and just to people who are historically oppressed make someone angry? I think part of it is that a lot of people who are anti-woke are working class whites. They feel disenfranchised and the idea of other groups being recognized but not them feels unfair to them, even though it's not. It's not rational. These are typically people who feel their way through life and hand over rationalizations to authorities they identify with (priests, pastors, politicians, pundits). Disclaimer: I'm not an expert. This is my humble observation.

​@@hettfield spot on

Probably a bit a both. He asked if was in an echo chamber without even knowing what it ment. So he's not above using words or phrases he has no clue what they mean. He knows the people he's told he's against is woke so that's all he needs to know

I’m going with option 2

That's was it was when I was "anti-woke." As much as I believed I was right, I also knew, in a deep part of my unconscious, tbat I was wrong. Fortunately, it was tapping i to that unconscious side of myself that got me out of conservatism.

I'll explain how. They have a system, a structure, a routine in their life. It's partly caused by their work structure but also by social climates. They were likely raised among average people doing average things, not as a diminishing comment but as an unfortunate set of circumstances. When something new and different happens, they get curious. However, due to not experiencing much of this change, they get scared, rather than intrigued and fascinated. It has thrown out their routinely thinking lifestyle. It scares them. This fear turns into anger, anger that is echoed by certain people in high society, which only validates their feelings so they think it's okay, especially as this person is in high society and therefore "made it", like they want to be. Like they've grafted for decades to try and be. In summary, it's often people who followed a route which they were led to believe to be correct, however when something new (and often generational) arrives & is successful, or on the brink of success, it annoys them because it should be them. And personally I think it probably should be them, however they've been held back by various things, whether people higher than themselves creating an ego-trip by keeping them on a certain level or by them internalising everything incorrectly and turning it into a psychological Yellowstone, only holding back their own evolution.

@@bladerunner3314 Ne, ist schon in Ordnung. War auch eine kryptische Botschaft, um hier nicht gegen die Regeln zu verstoßen. Ich bin einfach nur genervt von dieser bedingungslosen anti-Regierung Bewegung in Deutschland, die klar aus dem rechten Lager kommt und den exakt selben MAGA Unsinn redet. Trumpism mitsamt seinem Projektionismus ist verdammt gefährlich (z.B. Minderheiten unterdrückende Gesetze einführen und gleichzeitig die Demokraten als Gestapo bezeichnen). Auch hat dieser Kult geschlossen seine Haltung bzgl Covid mehrfach widersprüchlich vertreten. Es ist ein riesiger Kult, der mit Covid zockt und Deutschland muss auf beide Viren aufpassen.

" I called in to speak about something that I can't speak about. " Lol.

Thr chump is too used to talking to himself. And he obviously agrees with himself on everything.

Looks like he was the only one stifling rational discussion and debate

@@sirius1696 I think it was because he was in a one to one debate. I think he's more at home mass debating.

It was a sincere question. He really didn't know if he was in an echo chamber.

Caller: "well, just stop them progressing in their career..." Host: "so they were teaching you how to stop progressing in your career..." Caller: "not me personally..." Host: "I suspect you don't need any lessons..." ... I'm dying x))

@@JamieBykovBrett it wasn't sincere. He was using it rhetorically to try and make a point about having to repeat himself. He only later admitted that he didn't know what it meant making the rhetorical question pointless. If he had just said "What is an echo chamber?" or "Is this example of an echo chamber?" then you'd have a point but that's not how the question was framed

@@BuIIetBiII you’re clearly very confused. The caller asked if he was in an echo-chamber because the host kept asking him to clarify, but the caller refused to clarify and just repeating the same dumb point and thought he’d be cheeky by asking that dumb question. The host was sincere in his question because the caller obviously had no clue what an echo chamber is since it’s a metaphor for the state of being surrounded by only people who agree with everything you say. He’s right. You’re confused.

In other words, an 'echo chamber'.

Like most people on Twitter tbh

"....... a room full of people who think like himself." Think, hmmm?

exactly. and they cant make fun of them for existing without being shamed. they dont like being shamed.

Always has been.

I think its that other people want equality that they have a problem with

​@@tramdr yup. That's exactly what it is. Period.

Why do woke people need the approval of a straight white male so badly?

And he's quick with it. Love people who can quickly think on their feet!

this dude couldnt string two shoelaces together

Imagine if he was an American. Serious fragility

LOL Articulate? Hardly able to string any discourse together! White Van Man articulation 🤣

And he didnt even realize it either lol

So much so that he left and created his own room ... of one person, so he'll never have to face reality again.

Maybe, kind of hard to tell because there's not much information to go on. Maybe he's just making stuff up but he's really bad at it. Or something completely different. We'll never know.

@@InfectedByEli which is ironic considering he doesn't even know what an echo chamber is

Astounding. He was given ample time to put into words the answer to the question being put to him, starting before he decided to ring up.

"sent on a diversity course". Exactly. Thing is this has been something corporations have been doing this for decades. This IS NOTHING NEW.

There are plenty of fine journalists and interviewers here in the state, J. But it is amusing that in the comments of every single one of these RU-vidrs' videos there's at least one guy saying the exact same thing.

As an American, I can say that we don’t have enough people speaking out.

Check out the Majority Report with Sam Seder. It's basically this, but American.

​@AntiWoke are you the one who couldn't answer the question in this video?

Just thinking that!

If this wasn't from the UK it would sound like the typical MAGA in the USA.

@@mmi16 I mean there's parallels to be made in a certain sense, and I imagine many look to Donald Trump and would say he's a Great Leader. That he's very admirable. ALSO: Conservatives are conservatives. An a guy like this would be DEEP into Conservatism

@@davidpaz9389 Dude it's not that serious, it's a self fulfilling prophecy and a world that you create yourself just by being involved with it. Not that there isn't some truth to what you're saying, but there's no use in pretending that both sides aren't participating in the same cancel culture bs. The ones making the biggest deal about it are usually the worst offenders themselves and actually do want to cancel everything they perceive as being "woke". It's really not as big a deal as you make it out to be, it's not even a big deal for the left, but the right won't shut up about it, therefore making it an even bigger issue than it actually is.

I'm so glad! Tell more Americans!

American here. Love this channel!

Just be aware that not all the hosts are like James O’Brien. His politics are pretty much Progressive, but another one of the hosts is the polar opposite - N!gel Farage (ugh), former UKIP leader/politician whose politics are far right, and whose party helped take the UK out of the EU, (much to our economic detriment). The rest of the hosts are somewhere in between.

@@MercurialRed9 I don't think Farage is on LBC anymore. Pretty sure they got shot of him a while ago.

@@MercurialRed9 I encountered one of the right- wing hosts in my recommendations yesterday. He was about as bright as the guy as the caller on this clip😳

Oh wow! I had to pause the video at that moment because I couldn’t stop laughing

He even replied, "no I didn't need any lessons!" 🤪

Let’s just savor for a moment the obvious. He is no longer in that job (stop people from advancing in their careers) and is now self-employed. I want to know what he said or did that stopped his progression.

@@pats8219 I want him to get his own spot on GBnews, that would make that show just perfect. One more nutjob & they will be shown on comedy Central!

That one flew right over him. Ha

yeah and he's probably of average intelligence, 50% of people are even stupider.

Yes, but only 1 vote!

I agree. But he also has prime time slot on LBC!

He also worked for a local authority..with that loss of brain power,how did they ever cope!

EXACTLY

"You know what I'm talking about." "I might, but I'm not sure you do."

I'm guessing it was a post-George Floyd/BLM related course of some description.

Tbh whenever someone says something like that I really get JQ vibes

This is the UK so he's got a fairly short list of items we can guess from - I say this as someone from the USA. He is talking about any non-white and/or non-english citizen or inhabitant of the UK. Same thing in the USA except we have a whole crew that's really proud about their ignorance.

Definitely BLM

@@Ver5587 Why can you not ask a coherent question?

@@mimcduffee86 why so woke/LGBTQ people need his approval.

It's either he doesn't understand and he's scared by the "other", or he does understand, but knows saying that he hates the courses because they make him feel bad for using racial slurs as a joke, or calling LGBT people all paedophiles.

It’s more he didn’t want to expose himself for being a garbage human.

Absolutely hilarious too!

So much second-hand embarrassment at this!

Plus, he thinks "curtain-twitchers" are woke. I'm telling you, before ambulances and warning labels, there were fewer people like him.

@Lincoln D the right has dedicated echo chambers like Parlour. Studies have also shown a disproportionate right bias in reposting of articles on social media like Facebook, Twitter, and RU-vid. So what's your point here? By all means, be the dissenting voice of reason, please feel free to explain the issue with woke values utilising a sound rationale.

@Lincoln D avoiding questions better than Boris 🤣🤣

Just thinking in general by the sounds of it.

It's not many peoples strong points

He probably prefers strong pints in a notorious pub chain where he can air jab unchallenged

Drop the critical

That goes for the vast majority of the west.

Just give them enough rope to hang themselves with

O'Brien's specialty.

James O'brien is like Tai-Chi. With the least resistence, and heroic tolerance he allows these fools to "load" from their diapers to their socks, On National Radio.

And keep in mind that the caller rang in firmly convinced he had an argument. "I know, I'll call JOB. He will tremble before my astounding intellect."

@@olmostgudinaf8100 Exactly!!! Great post!

"All I know is all I need to know"

It feels like he might have been a policeman and he was referring to the horrendous george floyd incident

In summary: The caller doesn't like to be reminded to not be prejudiced and resents it when he gets sent on courses reminding him not to be prejudiced.

I have my issues with the wokosos. not because it's bad to be nice to people or give them equal rights, but because they are insincere in what they do.

@@antediluvianatheist5262you’re the problem.

@NO CASH: There you go, you managed to explain it and it didn’t take a torturous 5 min phone call. But, to be fair, you haven’t been “cowed into silence” like our poor caller. ;-)

And it made it into Oxford English in 2017. “originally: well-informed, up-to-date. Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice”.

if that is true that is pretty impressive well done.

I can visualise it as a flying circus episode

To be fair, he was trying to say it's not worth spending tax payers money sending him on a course to be nice to people when he's already decided he doesn't need to be - the guy is trying to save the country money; he is austerity made flesh!

@Lincoln D thats an absolute lie...

@Lincoln D name a few....

@Lincoln D to be "woke" is to be informed or alerted to injustice in society, especially racism. whats wrong with being made aware of social injustice, especially racism if youve lived your life unaware of what others are experiencing in their lives ?.... or would you prefer to remain ignorant about them, simply because it doesn't affect your selfish attitude and life ?

@Lincoln D 1. WHO are "they" ? 2. Name a couple of "their horrific acts"...

@Lincoln D I'm still waiting for my membership card to come through the post.

As of now, you have 69 likes. Let's keep it that way.

Lol

Irony is often lost unless is woke to the idea.

@Lincoln D what do you think woke means .

This works great for things like religion too. So much of that is just hardcoded responses and flowery language meant to distract. If you ask them very simple questions and ask them to explain things _in their own words_ while asking clarifying questions about each poorly defined word they use, it all breaks down incredibly quickly.

@@bass-tones my faith is all I need but let people come to Christ on their own don't indoctrinate them!!!

An example of how that quote is wrong maybe.

It’s up there with the guy who couldn’t explain what Marxism was despite the fact he was sure it was responsible for all the evils in the world The Socratic method proves itself once again.

So are you saying "woke" agenda doesn't exist?

@@xjinit Irony is dead.

Those that were offended by statues of Churchill etc being toppled are the ones complaining at other people being easily offended.

Conservatives are ALWAYS projecting.

The irony...

All hateful people are actually just hating themselves.

Caller had it bang on. Lefty wokeists are professional at being offended

It depends if it's fair treatment or special treatment. Fair treatment is I try not to offend you, you try not to offend me. Special treatment is you can offend me but I can't offend you.

@@shaunhunterit342 What? Sounds like you just want the right to offend people to me. As if not being allowed to offend people with no consequences is somehow infringing on your human rights

While the caller is an idiot, it’s a bit more subtle than that. I have to take such courses and some of them make sense, while other are very harmful. E.g. in one course I was told literally “if you feel like you are offended by someone it’s always their fault because this is your “lived reality”. “ The slide even said that if you are unsure whether or not offense was made against you, you should NOT consult your other colleagues, because it could cause doubt. So if you feel that someone has offended you, they owe you an apology, always, full stop. And never ask for anyone else’s perspective.

@@pavelshliaha1706 My guess that the management are probably out of touch, very privileged people who don't understand what they're talking about. A lot of corporate diversity courses are terrible because the people designing them don't understand what discrimination is and don't bother to actually consult LGBT people, people of colour etc who know what discrimination is and can identify what subtle biases people have and whats taking it too far.

@@shaunhunterit342 But who was even talking about "offense"? Where even did the topic of "special treatment" come into it? THis is your projection.

I know, I'm like, what is he talking about? This guy confused the he'll out of me.

A billion different things!

@@Blue_Star_Child why do you need his approval so badly is the real question

I’m assuming he meant George Floyd and anti-racism seminars - since those sparked protest outside the US too - but you’re right, it could have been a training about soooo many topics.
