    This is nothing new. We have been through this before.

    Half these kids will be limousine liberals or even Republicans in 25 years.

    Versions of this happened in the 1960’s…. 1920’s and before that.

    A lack of respect for authority is nothing new.

    It's a good thing in many cases.

    Judges and law enforcement are peak "demand respect, not earn it" professions.

    He knows his audience. 65 year old men who vote Democrat but lecture the gas station clerk about their life choice and how they are a failure because the clerk didn't greet them nicely (my dad essentially).

    I can’t decide which of these three videos portrays more complete nonsense

    That can be true.

    Those that are part of or have benefited from the white male patriarchy are more likely to be appalled by lack of obedience or innate respect for these institutions.

    He’s liberal
    But he doesn’t like woke lunatics and fat people thinking obesity is healthy

    Does he?

    For what it's worth, no one has removed Lincoln's name off anything.

    It's funny when people are asked to define "wokism" they can't.

    Now I know why Maher won't bring in actual intellectual leftists. Dude's brain is fried full of platitudes now. Any person slightly intellectually curious on this subject would just expose Maher of that person was a guest.

    Original meaning: Being real, aware of what is going on around you. People will take advantage.

    The whole "Woke' culture is an invention of Right Wing/Conservative media. A way to invalidate social injustice (white man=small penis). They can't handle people different than them or that don't believe in CONSERVATIVE values.

    And it's not polling so well..

    I predicted this when it started, by the time election day comes around they will have dropped this woke stuff. Most people DGAF that Velma is black in some random HBO show or that there is a gay elf in LOTR. You're not winning national elections on this stuff.

    The GOP and their social policies and ideology is just not popular.

    Woke means you want diversity and inclusion
    Except you won’t tell that to your Mexican cartel supplied drug dealer for your cocaine and fentanyl

    exactly - once again - I love it when the woke defenders say you can't define what being woke is... well. It's obvious when I step in dog poop. .., I don't have to define it -Except poop is a sensical byproduct- you just posted three videos where I could not honestly decide what was more nonsense.

    this is exactly what woke involves and it's simply nonsense

    woke is a battle for who is the biggest fake victim
    Case in point
    Coffee shop endorsing LGBGT and hiring LGBGTQ employees have an employee revolt claiming the owners should redistribute the business to them cause they are not woke enough
    They were participating in anti black ness (none of the owners or employees are black)
    Lol

    To be a real woke means you are never satisfied, even being majority woke is not good enough if it doesn't go full tilt nonsense...This means to be woke you have to keep pushing the boundaries of absolute nonsense -

    The heckling and shouting down of speakers is nothing new and happened when I was in CAL. I witnessed it first hand. I find it ironic that many who decried when Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckled Biden or when others have disrupted school board hearings over stuff like teaching CRT are now defending heckling of speakers at Stanford Law.

    Leaving aside the issues of basic respect the more concerning issue should be the refusal to even listen to an opposing point of view. Law as it is practiced is adopt debate and mediation between opposing views. As such lawyers are going to be frequently listening and reading things that they not only disagree with but it is their job to oppose. Just shouting down refusing to even acknowledge an opposing viewpoint will not work in court. What they should be doing is listening politely and then figuring out how to defeat that argument.

    Another issue is the idea that areas of learning should be just about hearing messages you agree with. Obama made this same pint when he criticized the idea of safe spaces.

    I will also point out again that this is a problem that spans the political spectrum. If you’re bothered by the idea of Stanford students shouting down a speaker then you should be bothered by school boards and city council meetings being disrupted by people ranting about CRT or wokeness. Be especially bothered by politicians using the force of law to try to stop teaching things that makes people uncomfortable.

    The problem is that they aren’t teaching kids anything useful
    Like a kid in china probably learns things like physical fitness and martial arts
    While the fat kids here about drag shows and bathrooms
    So when a kid from China has to fight a fat trans kid in America
    The kid from China will win , academically and in a fight
    You find out you are a dude when you get kicked in the nuts
