My paternal grandmother, Amy Foster was the daughter of Charles Haynes who was secretary of the railway union and she once told me when she was drunk, she was a communist.
Politics is an EXTREMELY boring subject and watching turkeys carving up definitions and putting people in pigeon holes is even more tediously boring.

Well done on your school history results. I’m pleased you got good marks. But what are you saying? That this makes you some sort of authority on socialism?
I repeat: Hitler could call himself “socialist” as much as you would like him to, but that doesn’t mean that he was a socialist. Matthew 7:21 can be applied to all sorts of philosophies.
In point of fact Hitler extolled his “Deutschheit” , or “Germanness” rather than any claim to “Sozialismus”.
Wenn Du willst, dann können wir dies alles auf Deutsch argumentieren.

Even this North Korean defector thinks the west is heading down the wrong path: ‘Even North Korea is not this nuts’: Defector slams ‘woke’ US schoolsBy Mark Moore and Mark Lungariello June 14, 2021 NEW YORK POST A North Korean defector said she viewed the US as country of free thought and free speech – until she went to college here. Yeonmi Park attended Columbia University and was immediately struck by what she viewed anti-Western sentiment in the classroom and a focus on political correctness that had her thinking “even North Korea isn’t this nuts.” “I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think,” she said. “I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying.” FULL STORY: nypost.com/2021/06/14/north-korean-defector-slams-woke-us-schools/

What does his sexuality have to do with his academic success? It was totally inappropriate to throw that into the speech. Go talk to a psychologist about that stuff. Spare the audience from your victimhood. I am so grateful to the Lord that there are still sane people who are willing to call this stuff out. Some examples can be seen on the comments section of the Facebook post: / NJ valedictorian’s mic cut after speaking about his sexuality: reportBy Jess O'Niell 26 JUNE 2021 NEW YORK POST A South Jersey high school valedictorian said school officials cut his mic after he began speaking about his LGBTQ identity at graduation. Bryce Dershem’s speech at Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees last Saturday touched on his experiences with sexuality, mental illness and disordered eating, according to Philadelphia’s NBC 10. “After I came out as queer freshman year, I felt so alone. I didn’t know who to turn to,” Dershem said — before the audio was reportedly cut. [...] Dershem told the outlet that administrators warned him not to mention his sexuality and personal problems, telling him that graduation was not “his therapy session.”FULL STORY: nypost.com/2021/06/26/valedictorians-mic-cut-after-speaking-about-his-sexuality/

The above post from Matte of dishonesty in the media.
An elective high school subject on humanities that has a section on white privilege turns into “wall to wall woke” identity politics' hysteria for conservative folk that read the Telegraph Murdoch media.
Conservatives are more interested in feeling outrage than being educated about truth and fact.
Students can well decide their own opinions, what is important is that they are given the facts to make determinations from.

Oh? This Sky News « woke » word is cropping up again and here’s Matt with his Sky News megaphone fulfilling his little self-appointed role as the mouse that roars? Sky News must feel a distraction is necessary. From what, I wonder? Could it be from the shambles of the vaccine rollout? More Sightings Of Wild Deer Than Prime Ministers Since Sydney OutbreakNew data released today shows that people contending with the lockdown in Sydney are more likely to see a deer than they are the Prime Minister of Australia. While encountering a deer in Sydney is considered very unlikely, it is still more likely than seeing Scott Morrison during a crisis. Animal behaviour expert Judith Ramolia said sightings were rare. “Generally when it encounters a threatening situation like that it runs away and hides. Deer will often run away too,” she said. She said the behaviour of the animals was fairly easy to predict. “We’ve found that when there is a plague or a bushfire – something of that nature – they will immediately flee their habitat. Whereas deer are a little more resilient, which is why you might still see one in the wild”.

Maybe because the spectacle of a rattled Prime Minister out of his depth in a crisis is not a desirable strategy in the months that remain before the next federal election and an urgent distraction is needed, so Sky News tries - with increasing desperation because clearly the strategy isn't working - to raise the spectre of "the left", sorry, the "woke" left. Problem with this confected hysteria is that they're just fine words that butter no parsnips. Meanwhile where's Scott Morrison? Can't find him? Hmm, must be another crisis happening that he can't handle ... A rattled absentee prime minister is resorting to a failed playbook of political tricksIs Scott Morrison actually prime minister or simply an onlooker-in-chief who has nothing to do with managing the pandemic?Bernard Keane June 30, 2021 www.crikey.com.au/2021/06/30/a-rattled-absentee-prime-minister-is-resorting-to-a-failed-playbook-of-political-tricks/How Scott Morrison's name is being used on social mediaScott Morrison’s failings as a national leader are once again on display, just as they were earlier in the year. And his response is the same: treat everything as a political problem that can be addressed with announcements and spin. The outbreaks across the country at the moment — the one that has locked down Sydney, and the one that has locked down the Northern Territory and sent other states into border closures or precautionary lockdowns — are the direct result of the failings of Morrison’s government. Failure to get even a substantial minority of Australians vaccinated months into the rollout, failure to vaccinate staff in aged care and residential disability care — the one area where the Health Department had full responsibility — and failure to establish an alternative to hotel quarantine nearly a year after being warned of the weaknesses of relying on tourist facilities to accomplish medical goals. Worse, Morrison is starting to be called on it — by the NSW government, by normally loyal media allies. Thus the mild but unmistakable whiff of panic emanating from the Lodge where Morrison remains isolated following his not-quite-triumphant G7+ trip. It’s an apt symbol for a prime minister who appears unwilling to, and perhaps is unable to, provide any leadership. His response, instead, has been announcements. Thus Sunday night’s sudden reversal on AstraZeneca, the vaccine that Morrison, in the face of warnings at the time, bet the house on last year. He encouraged people under 60 to get it, subject to medical advice, without consulting with the states or medical authorities, and in the face of his own expert medical advice. A characteristic of Morrison in panic mode is that he doesn’t focus too much on the long-term impacts of what he’s doing to fix the short-term political problem. Anything that comes to hand will do to get him through the answer to a difficult question, to the end of the press conference, to the end of the parliamentary week. Thus it was yesterday: the queue of state medical authorities, health ministers and health groups lining up to say they didn’t agree on AZ was damaging — not merely to Morrison but to the credibility of the vaccination program. Should you get AZ if you’re under 60 or not? “Go see your GP” is the answer from Morrison, who has extended the vaccine indemnity scheme for GPs. And what happens when a young person, encouraged by Morrison to get AZ, gets blood clots, as the numbers say will inevitably happen? Meanwhile the disaster of the aged care rollout continues, with national cabinet belatedly mandating vaccinations for all aged care workers. Remember when they were all going to be vaccinated by the end of March? The possibility of one of the current outbreaks getting into a nursing home is still a plausible nightmare scenario that will represent a colossal failure by the government. Health secretary Brendan Murphy, who has already worn the blame for the disastrous “not a race” rhetoric from Morrison, is now the target of leaking to government-aligned media outlets. Murphy will be a handy scapegoat for a rollout gone wrong, but who wears the blame for the stolid refusal of Morrison to consider expanding the Commonwealth’s quarantine facilities until last month? The announcements are designed to give the appearance of action when, in fact, Morrison is doing nothing. There is no acceleration of the arrival of non-AZ vaccines. There is no mechanism for ensuring all aged care workers have access to vaccination. There is no movement to take pressure off hotel quarantine facilities. Morrison seems to float above the governing process — a prime onlooker not a prime minister — with plenty of commentary to offer on events but sadly divorced from the mechanics of government and unable to do anything, stirred into movement only when imperiled by the political consequences of his failures, and then merely to announce, declare, enunciate and outline his achievements and how lucky we are to be under his benign oversight. Tony Abbott used to goad Malcolm Turnbull by accusing him of being in office but not in power. Scott Morrison at the moment seems to be absent from both, leaving the governing of Australia to premiers who have some acquaintance with how to actually get things done. It’s an awful lot of power to hand to a group of men and women unlikely to surrender it easily.

American wokism infected us or could have started in the UK somewhere like Scotland. I remember the Scottish were removing 3 year olds from Kindergartens if they uttered a "racist slur"....lol What do you expect allowing Americans to infest Australia with their fucked-up values.
