Gender pronouns 'the new woke battleground' over discrimination
1 October 2021
Gender pronouns are "the new woke battleground" over discrimination, says Sky News host Cory Bernardi.
"It's not just Twitter trolls that are deeming misgendering as a form of hate speech," he said.
"The academics have got in, and the institutions are now getting behind this newest way to trigger the crazy left."

This is why western civilisation is so sick, it is why the CCP is winning. We are our own worst enemy with all of this wokeness. Scientific community influenced by ‘political wokeness’ on COVID29 September 2021 Most of the mainstream media and parts of the scientific community compromised their principles in order to dismiss any discussion that COVID-19 could have originated from a lab, according to former China advisor to the US State Department, Miles Yu. In February 2020, eminent medical journal The Lancet published a letter signed by 27 leading scientists which said COVID-19 originated from animals and argued that anyone claiming it was from a lab was guilty of spreading “misinformation”. Subsequently, more and more scientists, including some from the World Health Organisation, have said it is possible that the disease originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Speaking with Sky News host Sharri Markson as part of her exclusive documentary, ‘What Really Happened in Wuhan’, Mr Yu said many researchers were unduly influenced by “wokeness.” “It is a sad story of unprincipled compromise in the face of an authoritarian regime,” he said. “It’s also a sad story of political wokeness because the reason many scientists sign on to that kind of rhetoric, to accuse anybody who is seriously interested in the possibility, not the certainty, but the possibility, is simply racist.” Sharri Markson's book 'What Really Happened in Wuhan' is available for pre-order from Booktopia at bit.ly/3kNQ3q7 and from Amazon at amzn.to/2XAg1om.

What is this hyperbole Matt? “Biggest threat to society” bullshit. ASIO disagrees with you and identifies far-right extremism as the greatest threat to society in a report called “Director-General’s Annual Threat Assessment”. Not a mention of anything “woke”. Others might argue that the COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest threat to society. I might also put up there alongside the anti-vaxxer demonstrators and those who flout public health orders and thereby spread the virus the abject failures of the Morrison government to keep Australians safe from the virus through their stuff ups in ensuring an adequate vaccine supply during this year, their destructive role in helping to spread doubts about, and undermine confidence in, the one vaccine that we did have plentiful supply of since it was manufactured in Australia. Do you call that keeping Australians safe?

Not all right are fascists; not all left are tolerant keepers of the peace. Watch closely what happens to the unvaccinated, as the left starts instituting 'regulations' the left once dismissed as conspiracy theories. "Papers, please!" -that is fascism.

Yes yes, but this is about the disingenuous propaganda, and indeed the lie, contained in Matt’s thread title. The official report to the Australian Parliament of the Director-General of ASIO which is the Australian equivalent of your CSIS - Canadian Internal Security Service - giving the Annual Security Threat Assessment does not contain the words “woke” or “left” or “woke left” anywhere in the document, but it does identify far right extremism and religious extremism as real and present dangers to society. Was the Australian guy - whose name I refuse to utter or type, following the lead of the NZ Prime Minister - responsible for the massacre in Christchurch (NZ) of 51 innocent people and the wounding of 41 more “woke” or “left”? He learned his politics of hate right here in Australia. The anti vaxxer rioters in Melbourne who took up police resources and whose stunt constituted a super-spreader event for the virus … “woke left”?
These turkeys are a far greater menace to society than some aspect of the school curriculum that Matt doesn’t like because he heard some shock jock talk show host on Australian Murdoch-owned tabloid TV ranting about it. Speaking of Rupert Murdoch, now there’s a real and present danger to society whose appointment with the Hereafter is long overdue.

My oh my....how they forget the planned insurrection of Feb 6th...no doubt Matte regrets the fact this Trump proto fascist coup d'état failed. The RW are arses to be sure. To call it a 'coup d'etat', is a misnomer. A coup detat is: “an overt attempt by the military or other elites within the state apparatus to unseat the sitting head of state using unconstitutional means.” The perpetrators were not agents of the state, such as military officials or rogue governmental officials. In this scenario rioters appeared to be civilians operating of their own volition, and were not state actors. It should also be noted that Trump tepidly told his supporters to go home as the violence escalated. You'd be hard pressed to connect the violence at the Capitol to Trump or his supporters. You cannot condemn the whole on the actions of a few. Stereotypes don't stand as evidence.

A coup, a putsch … it was a violent attempt to frustrate and overthrow the normal processes of government. Let’s not quibble. It was an attempted coup. A failed coup, granted, but a coup nonetheless.

Feb 6th was planned by Bannon and Trump to overthrow a legitimate government...which is a coup...they were hoping that the military would intervene in a coup d'état ...it failed as the military did not turn up, as was the plan. One can nit pick over a failed coup but remains none the less it was planned and orchestrated by Trump and his cronies who still refuse to accept the election result as legitimate despite numerous attempts in the courts to validated his claim which also failed.
Trump’s coup attempt has not stopped – and Democrats must wake up

The former president’s attempted coup is not stopping. He still refuses to concede and continues to rile up supporters with his bogus claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Tens of millions of Americans believe him.
Last Sunday, at a Republican event in Franklin, North Carolina, Congressman Madison Cawthorn, repeating Trump’s big lie, called the rioters who stormed the Capitol on 6 January “political hostages”.
Cawthorn also advised the crowd to begin stockpiling ammunition for what he said was likely to be American-versus-American “bloodshed” over unfavorable election results.
“Much as I am willing to defend our liberty at all costs,” he said, “there’s nothing I would dread doing more than having to pick up arms against a fellow American.”
On Tuesday, Texas Republicans passed a strict voter law based on Trump’s big lie – imposing new ID requirements on people seeking to vote by mail and criminal penalties on election officials who send unsolicited mail-in ballot applications, empowering partisan poll watchers, and banning drive-through and 24-hour voting.
This year, at least 18 other states have enacted 30 laws that will make it harder for Americans to vote, based on Trump’s lie.
On Thursday, at Trump’s instigation, Pennsylvania Republicans launched an investigation soliciting sworn testimony on election “irregularities”, scheduling the first hearing for next week.
Even as Trump’s attempted coup gains traction, most of America continues to sleep. We’ve become outrage-fatigued
Arizona’s Republican “audit” will report its results any day. There’s little question what they’ll show. The chief executive of Cyber Ninjas, the company hired to conduct it, has publicly questioned the election results. The audit team consists of Trump supporters and is funded by a group led by Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
The Republican chair of the Wisconsin state assembly campaigns and elections committee has begun “a full, cyber-forensic audit”, akin to Arizona’s. Trump’s first White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, says Wisconsin Republicans are prepared to spend $680,000.
These so-called audits won’t alter the outcome of the 2020 election. Their point is to cast further doubt on its legitimacy and justify additional state measures to suppress votes and alter future elections.
It’s a vicious cycle. As Trump continues to stoke his base with his big lie that the election was stolen, Republican lawmakers – out to advance their careers and entrench the GOP – are adding fuel to the fire, pushing more Americans into Trump’s paranoid nightmare.
The three top candidates to succeed Richard Burr in North Carolina all denounced the senator’s vote to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial. The four leading candidates to succeed Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania all embraced Trump’s call for an “audit” of election results.
A leading contender for the Senate seat being vacated by Richard Shelby in Alabama is Representative Mo Brooks, best known for urging the crowd at Trump’s rally preceding the Capitol riot to “start taking down names and kicking ass”. Brooks has been endorsed by Trump.
Yet even as Trump’s attempted coup gains traction, most of the rest of America continues to sleep. We’ve become so outrage-fatigued by his antics, and so preoccupied with the more immediate threats of the Delta variant and climate-fueled wildfires and hurricanes, that we prefer not to know.
A month ago it was reported that during his last weeks in office Trump tried to strong-arm the justice department to falsely declare the 2020 presidential election fraudulent, even threatening to fire the acting attorney general if he didn’t: “Just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the [Republican] congressmen.”
The news barely registered on America’s collective mind. The Olympics and negotiations over the infrastructure bill got more coverage.
A top Trump adviser now says Trump is “definitely running” for president in 2024, even though the 14th amendment to the constitution bars anyone from holding office who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the nation.
Federal legislation that would pre-empt state voter suppression laws is bogged down in the Senate. Biden hasn’t made it a top priority. A House select committee to investigate the Capitol riot and Trump’s role is barely off the ground. The justice department has made no move to indict the former president for anything.
But unless Trump and his co-conspirators are held accountable for the damage they have inflicted and continue to inflict on American democracy, and unless Senate Democrats and Biden soon enact national voting rights legislation, Trump’s attempted coup could eventually succeed.
It is imperative that America wake up.
