America survives despite hypocrisy and Rupert Murdoch. A few of the greatest universities in the world are American. America has many heroes like Rosa Parks, and also like the more obscure girl who made a video of a policeman murdering a black manvegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 9:34 pmIs that a joke?

Re: The Left Destroys EVERYTHING It Touches
Just the fact that Rosa Parks is even a 'thing' is pretty telling. There was also a young girl before her called Claudette Colvin who got no attention at all for doing virtually the same thing.Belinda wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 11:54 amAmerica survives despite hypocrisy and Rupert Murdoch.

From a report in the Guardian.https://www.theguardian.com/society/202 ... rosa-parksIt was a spring afternoon in 1955 when a teenager’s spontaneous act of defiance changed US history. Why did it take 40 years for her to get any credit?

Actually there are some symptomless illnesses that people die of. Syphilis is symptomless for most of its duration of infecting someone. High blood pressure is sometimes called the silent killer. i daresay there are other symptomless illnesses.henry quirk wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 11:34 pmhttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/lane ... t?s=08#%20henry quirk wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 2:29 pmThis one is for B...

There is also at least one illness that is symptomless in some carriers of the infection but can be lethal when it infects a vulnerable contact.

You must remember this, a kiss is still kiss...even when it spreads herpetic leprosy (another family-friendly, gain of function, asymptomatic (till your lips rot), product, from the fine folks at Wuhan Labs!).Belinda wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 11:51 pmActually there are some symptomless illnesses that people die of.

I found a new coinage that is absolutely irresistible: people now speak of "The Woking Dead."
Beautiful. And so justified, when one thinks about it.
What are the "woke" dead to?
They're dead to their nation. They just think it's a welter of injustice.
They're dead to history. They think everything in it is lies, all self-serving, all fake.
They're dead to law. They think it's bound to be tyranny, and cannot be otherwise.
They're dead to culture. They think the most important thing about a work of art is its hidden "racism."
They're dead to thought. They have eliminated critical thinking and substituted their own tiny-minded, hidebound orthodoxies.
They're dead to the family. They think baby murder is virtuous, fatherhood is unnecessary or even evil, and the State can raise all children.
They're dead to suffering. They really don't care how many "black lives" and "black neighbourhoods" are destroyed by their revolutions.
They're dead to facts, to reason, to science and to data. They think all these are just artifacts of "whiteness."
They're dead to indviduality. They think everything is a collective. Everything has an agenda. Everything only represents "something else."
They're dead to responsibility. They don't want to be responsible for anything; they want it all taken care of by government paternalism.
They're dead to freedom. They think practically all speech is hate speech.
They're dead to free air. They want everybody stabbed, masked, passported, controlled and restricted.
They're dead to the future. They call for the destruction of everything, and have no strategy for the creating of anything.
Most of all, it seems, they're dead to happiness. Yours, mine, and everybody else's. Look at them. Is there any joy in their parades and "peaceful demonstrations"? Is there anything they are grateful for at all? Is there anything they don't want to pull down, destroy, remove, cancel, deconstruct, diminish, eliminate and otherwise debase?
In a way, you have to feel sorry for them. They are miserable, sad, spiteful, small human beings. Anyone can see it. It's on their faces, in their voices and in every twitch of their debased and crabbed beings as they complain of yet another "injustice" until we are all wearied of their convulsions.
They're the Woking Dead.
I can't think of a better metaphor.

Re: The Left Destroys EVERYTHING It Touches
No. The word comes from African Americans trying to push the idea that Marcus Garvey, among others, had awakened people of colour from the sleep of political passivity; calling on their bothers ans sisters not to fall back to sleep. The threat came not from the unconscious conservatives, but from the conniving White Supremacists.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 8:13 pmThe idea the Left was trying to push was that "we are awakened (sic: "woke") to the realities of the situation, and you conservatives are asleep, unconscious, unalert to how things really are."

Re: The Left Destroys EVERYTHING It Touches
None of whom we can even locate today. Oh well.
The current use of "woke" is by the Left, as self-description, lauding themselves, congratulating themselves on being "awake" to things their opponents are not. It's not a label any "white" conspiracy put on them: they have been proudly parading it.
For example:
