It's hilarious how we have gotten to a point where the word "woke" is so overused it has literally become meaningless and if anything it has just became a dog whistle for the Karen's and Keith's to express their frustration every time something doesn't resemble 1930's Germany.

Oh calm down. I don't know why some people have chosen to see this discussion as racist. Who mentioned black people? It's a car ad with no car in it. They've changed to logo from a jaguar to kindergarten letters. It's stupid.

Here you go... from Urban Dictionary:

Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion.

Interesting. A silence that says a lot :smug:

When you learn how to speak to people, perhaps you'll get a proper answer to a post. Keep going the way you're going and you'll be talking to yourself.

No, not unable. Unwilling. Maybe serious debates isn't for you...

Or you just realised that you can't answer the question without sounding like a racist so you thought it would be a better idea to scramble and deflect in any way you could. A serious debate is had with serious people, not people who whine about "woke" because their precious selves are triggered by an advert.

I want to let you know that when someone puts you on ignore they can't see your posts anymore and don't get a notification that you've replied to them.

Bye.
