We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Now it's just a nebulous catch all term that doesn't mean anything
In reply to: Geo 's message, "The origins of woke" on 09:24 15/05/24 Wed

It's woke to judge Israel for what it is doing in Gaza, but it's also woke to judge Middle Eastern Communities for how they judge LGBTQIA+ people, it's woke to recognize white privilege, but it is also woke to ignore the adverse effects of DEI and diversity hires on low socio economic white communities.
It's woke to be anti racist, but it's also woke to be anti semitic.

Anyway, it's a term that doesn't really mean anything anymore.
At one point it could be used to describe a believer in communism, in another it could be to defend and condone fascistic behaviour
