Now adopted to insult the zealots of identitarian thinking.
No. They’re all individuals...Are snowflakes woke?
.... but "gammon" is ok to be used to offend people who are considered overly right?"alert to injustice in society, especially racism."
Sadly it's morphed via Twitter and the right wing media into a term used to offend people who are considered overly left.
In reality we should all be "woke" and proud to say so.

or more accurately"alert to injustice in society, especially racism."

Did you have to look that up or have you read Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities? So am I but couldn’t give a shit. I prefer bald northern bastard as my wife calls me.I'm white, I'm anglo saxon and I'm a protestant
Wasn't aware I'd entered into a debate. Just asking a question based on the opposite side of the coin.It's a derogatory term yes but it was mainly used as an insult to those opposing Brexit and it's use was hardly used on the scale "woke" is. In fact you only heard the term "gammon" for a couple of months during Brexit.
I wasn't intending to enter into a debate over it - just answering the OP's question. You can do your mind numbing and utterly pointless arguing with someone else.
Being from the north west most of us probably aren't as Anglo Saxon as we think, more of a south east thing isn't it?Anyone proud to be a WASP?
The terms been around for as long as I can remember.Did you have to look that up or have you read Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities? So am I but couldn’t give a shit. I prefer bald northern bastard as my wife calls me.
Fook me too.I'm white, I'm anglo saxon and I'm a protestant
Just sayin' likeGive it a rest hippy
Same as do-gooders."alert to injustice in society, especially racism."

Don't think that a year ago I'd heard of either term. And I'd guess I heard of "gammon" before "woke".So is it better to be WOKE or Gammon. He's confused
'do-gooder' has been a recognised expression, in it's current form, for around a century.Same as do-gooders.
Because the evil-doers are so good for society
Doesnt make it right though'do-gooder' has been a recognised expression, in it's current form, for around a century.
I have nothing to addor more accurately
"Perceive themselves to be.....alert to injustice in society, especially racism."
or perhaps.... "justify their own personal prejudices through a pretence of being alert to injustice in society, especially racism."
or maybe even "shutdown free speech and reasonable debate by claiming to be .... alert to injustice in society, especially racism."
Make what right?Doesnt make it right though
No place in our society these woke idiots.Make what right?
The English Language is absolutely littered with similar types of expression. The meaning and phrasing is a legitimate way of describing individuals who are essentially under a naive misapprehension that they are ‘doing good’
Any society probably needs a good balance of personalities and opinions to function. I’m sure Woke people play their partNo place in our society these woke idiots.
They're destroying our way of life and freedom of speech...they have no place in our society.Any society probably needs a good balance of personalities and opinions to function. I’m sure Woke people play their part
I'm not sure that's true really.... I just think they are misguided and a bit fascist in the way they try to impose their will on others.... Society has dealt with people like that before and they never win.They're destroying our way of life and freedom of speech...they have no place in our society.
I don't think it's restricted to any particular group or profession really....Who usually calls out the do-gooders for being do-gooders, what's their part in the story?
Have they got a name, maybe they were slum landlords or sweat shop owners.
Trust me... That way of thinking is most certainly NOT restricted to right wing individuals...Depends if you’re left wing or right wing.
If you’re left wing it means you’re “woke” to the fact that the great grandparents of a lot of the people who are lording it over us currently made their money and acquired their power as a result of slavery.
If you’re right wing it means you’re “woke” to the fact the world is actually controlled by a Satanic worshipping group of paedos who have infiltrated every level of government in every country in the world (aka The Elders of Zion or something like that).
One of the above is true. The other is a fantasy created by a lot of headcases. I’ll leave it to you to decide which is which.
You make the Wild accusation that all wealth was created on the back of slavery....if you are a true Marxist then that would be your belief (all workers are slaves) but I’m guessing you’re not a Marxist so I’m saying that’s totally incorrect.......you are aware there are others ways to make money than slavery, in fact most of the ways money is made doesn't involve slavery ........yes?Depends if you’re left wing or right wing.

But I‘m a Tory (voter) and I worked as a Carer (for about £4 an hour after travel costs) for old folk with dementia providing full personal physical service..wiping backsides, showering, dressing as well as shaving, dressing, talking, resassuring, calming, putting to bed etc etc.......but by definition I have NO COMPASSION?.......just explain your comment to me please?Compassionate. It's a dirty word in the Tory lexicon.
Wild accusation!!!!!!!You make the Wild accusation that all wealth was created on the back of slavery....if you are a true Marxist then that would be your belief (all workers are slaves) but I’m guessing you’re not a Marxist so I’m saying that’s totally incorrect.......you are aware there are others ways to make money than slavery, in fact most of the ways money is made doesn't involve slavery ........yes?
