Flyers Fan isn't a MAGA Trumper, never has been.

 Yeah .. not even close to being one.  People fling that around ... comical.

What a person's skin colour have to do with the price of chicken?

What are you talking about?

Every so often you might find a black person on TV use that phrase 'woke' in 
an old fashioned way meaning to be aware of racial injustice.   But the vast 
majority of people know t hat phrase is far-left ideology now.

[FlyersFan]

Now we are screaming words in block capitals.

Well done.

I suggest you might need to calm down.

  I'm not upset.   So you can stuff your suggestion.

This ridiculous back and forth isn't worth any emotion at all.

I put one word in capitals to emphasis it.    

Deal with it.

I wondering why you suggested, "Oh you might find a black person here or there who will pull up the old lingo."

Again wokness is not about colour.

So why did you go there? 

"Woke" as you claim to know, originally meant being alert to injustice.

It was not a political label.

And certainly not only about colour.

Its co-opting by media and critics doesn't erase its roots...

What are you talking about?

I said you might find a black person here or there to use the term.

And if I had said 'find an odd black person here or there' ... don't you use that phrase?

That means unique, non-conforming, or distinct.   An 'odd person out'.

What are you faux-shocked about ?

Good night,  sleep well.

[FlyersFan]

As to the "vast majority" agreeing, are they in the room with us right now?  

Actually yes.  A few pages back.  I gave the online dictionary definition of woke.
It has 'far left ideology' right there.  Nothing about your far right claim.

Well, you sound rather miffed.

But hey'ho.

As to dealing with things.

I direct you towards far right wokness, and the fact that you apparently refuse to recognise its existance...

Maybe a little swing of your own medicine may be in order.

Ridiculed? This is how people discuss a sensitive topic.

Ive been called MAGA and Ive never voted for the orange SOB, and I let it slide, because it makes you feel special or something

I suggested you dance around the extremes, whereas Im more in the middle.

Describe where it is you dance around?

If it's not extreme, it sounds pissimisitic with a capital PISS. To my naive, ignorant ears

Would you prefer pessimistic? concerned? legitimately worried?

Ive said numerous times I'm optimistic AF and remain so

Ive also repeatedly said there are millions of ways it can go south.

Some of which were describe with vivid detail...

Probably with a faraway glazed look, and a little spittle dribbling down thier chin.

You're not MAGA

okay...

You didn't vote for Trump but ---
You support his policies to Make America Great Again 
You defend his speech and actions
You use the Cultish repetitive phrases (OMB, TDS)

If that's not MAGA I don't know what to call it ?


And it's not pessimism 
It's confidence 

As in, I'm confident the world is going to experience "disruption"

I'm not worried about it 
I've been waiting for it

[andy06shake]

Actually yes.  A few pages back.  I gave the online dictionary definition of woke.
It has 'far left ideology' right there.  Nothing about your far right claim.

So, people online here at DI constitute the vast majority. LoL

You need to get out more Mrs...

Tell me what the examples I gave are if not the epitome of far-right wokeness?

[FlyersFan]

I wondering why you suggested, "Oh you might find a black person here or there who will pull up the old lingo."

Because you might.   I've seen a couple of black people on tv pull up the old lingo.   No one else has.  Everyone else uses it in the modern way.

"Woke" as you claim to know, originally meant being alert to injustice.

   "Claim to know" .... just stop.   I'm the one who posted that information to begin with.

Its co-opting by media and critics doesn't erase its roots...

The evolution of the word erases it's roots.
The roots are now irrelevant.
That's not how the word is used anymore.
