Oh go suck an egg. How did the Vietnamese people threaten you in any way? Fuck Americans and their warmongering, brainwashed crap.
You're an idiot veggie, sorry but females can be idiots too, case in point!
Typical wokie response. They are the chosen ones and as such are above such banalities as intelligent counterarguments :roll:
Fortunately the wokies are not the mainstream of the left. It’s just that unwokies like Veg like to portray them as if they were.

Have you EVER seen me refer to them as 'the left'?? They are not the fucking 'left'.
PC, or 'wokism' is a completely separate concept unto itself, far closer to a religion than a political movement. Akin to hard core nazism (in fact a modern equivalent--just wait for the book burnings), but far more insidious because they use the facade of 'niceness' to intimidate anyone who doesn't agree with them. They exploit the natural human desire to conform and be considered a decent person by others.

I know plenty of wokies and believe me, when there's no one around to impress they are anything BUT 'nice' people. And yes, they say exactly the same things in private that they attack others as 'racist' and 'xenophobic' (blah blah) for publicly.
I've never been able to fully work out what exactly motivates them, but they must have some sort of mental illness that makes them....bah! I give up. I don't have a clue what motivates the moronic arseholes.

That's the trouble with categories. Racists love them. It's the heart of prejudice and bigotry.

Wokies love them. Wokies are hypocrties by definition. They also have no self awareness and are oblivious to their own innate hypocrisy. That's how arrogant and conceited they are.
It's simply not possible to not categorise humans. We categorise humans because humans come in different categories--otherwise we would all be the same. We are NOT all the same. Every time we so much as mention a person's colour/ethnicity/religion/gender/political persuasion/age/nationality....we are 'categorising' them.
You only have to read the comments of our 'friendly' resident wokie to see how hypocritical wokies are. They constantly categories humans. In fact their entire religion is based on categorising humans and putting them in certain protected boxes.

Are wokies being equated to racists or are racists being equated to Veg? That’s the trouble with labels—they just don’t make sense.

And nor does that. Of course he's trying to call me a 'racist'. That's what wokies do. They call people 'racists'. It's their thing, and it's known as projection in certain circles. Projection and deflection.

No one exhausts a label. You can be woke and a fascist, you can be agnostic and still be fool enought to go to church.
But people like to keep it simple and put people in tidy boxes so they can more easily pour their hatred, blame and poisonous insults towards them. It's called prejudice.
One expects that at a Trump rally but it not acceptible, one would hope, on a site claiming to be a philosophy discussion page.

See what I mean? No self awareness whatsoever. Duck/back/water....

Hint. If you object (publicly) to 'nasty' labels then you must object to 'nice' ones too :roll:

You can't be a moderate wokie any more than you can be a moderate nazi. They are both fanatics by definition.
Wokies are of the 'if you aren't with us you are against us' mind-set. If you don't adhere strictly to their manifesto then you are automatically a 'racist/xenophobe/homophobe/transphobe blah blah blah...' They are insulting, intolerant, judgemental fuckwits and highly OFFENSIVE.

Don't bother. Nothing more than Nazi polemic. God help Henry if he is exposing is febrile mind to this garbage.
It's full of this sort of stuff...
"Despite a laughable impeachment case concocted by House Democrats and clear evidence of corruption tied to the Democratic presidential candidate whom the impeachment effort was designed to protect, Romney nonetheless supported the removal of Donald Trump from the White House."
Trump was impeached on a matter which was admitted publicly; bribing the Ukraine president to invent dirt on the Biden family. The only thing laughable about it was the sycophantic republicans that were to scared of reprucussions from Trump to do the decent thing and convict that cheat and liar.
