The thread title is "Wokery" so my video was spot on.
All it proves is that you didn't read the OP

Is that the best you could come back with?That's the best you could come back with?
The thread is about "Wokery"
This forum would be a strange place if all you could discuss was the OP.
If you can't see the much larger health issues with obesity then I think you're deluded here, you couldn't even address the point earlier, want to attempt it or are you just going to vent a little and present no argument?

Its a rock (ok not rock) band ffs. Just get on with it or even better get spotted with a couple of fit girls and a mirror with coke on it. People take wayyyyy too much notice of the Twitterverse. Both extremes are as bad as each other on there.

Reminds me of a kerfuffle thats going on in a certain gaming community someone quite prominent has been discovered saying things that are shall we say, not exactly woke, anyway he's been pilloried and cancelled from reddit groups etc basically he's now a pariah.
Keep your professional and your private life and opinions separate, people. Me, I always use an alt...

See also the new line that critical race theory doesn't exist anywhere except for some lectures for grads in law school....
or the original: "no-no, that's not real socialism, real socialism has never been tried"
People need to stop being fooled by the brand names that these radical left wing groups give themselves in order to evade criticism.. "Antifa stands for anti-fascist so you must be fascist to criticise them" and "if you criticise Black Lives Matter then you don't care about black lives and must be a racist".
Ahh, good to see the right wing PR campaign is cutting through. No sheep here, just free thinkers....
That Mumford & Sons post is really powerful. Things like that make me so sad, it reminds me of the death of August Ames, which could have been avoided had she had the right support, and who effectively killed herself because a Twitter battle was the final straw. Social media can be a terribly poisonous place.
Ironically I guess that is a bit sheep-like, if you've not heard of this stuff before until Trump and GOP types started rallying against it then just decide to criticise criticism of it on that basis you're not really thinking for yourself are you?
Lots of people don't think about policy, they tend to see an idea then see what people on their "team" support, this is a naive way to look at politics, basing a stance on something not on the merits of the thing but on who supports it.
To then project this on others is an additional mistake on top of that, the assumption that people critical of say CRT (or rather applications of it) are critical because of some right-wing PR campaign is also naive.
The clever thing about PR, or 'propaganda' as much of it is, is that you can counter it with information, or 'PR', of your own.
I don't take enough interest in such things to know if CRT is right or wrong, but I know enough about PR (having worked nearly a decade in the industry, albeit not as a PR-tist myself) to know that making people aware of the explicit strategy to poison the well, from these right-wing think tanks, is enough to get genuine free-thinkers (rather than actual 'sheep') to take a more critical view on what they're being fed on the subject.
See that’s the issue, you don’t know anything yourself but you’ve just taken a position anyway. What does this have to do with PR?
Perhaps that’s another blind spot, you used to work in PR so now you overemphasise it’s importance and attribute views to PR etc..
Never have truer words been said.
