what does this have to do with the thread?

It’s literally part of the thread

There’s politics in linguistics.
Using “woke” in a negative connotation is anti-Blackness.

Sounds trustworthy. And how dafuq does foreign minister equal leader.

Yup. I first started off reading the article like , but then after like the first two paragraphs it was clear as hell that this is nothing but a Chinese propaganda article. Like I said, I could see China collapsing a lot sooner than the U.S.

Gotdamn, good post. Oddly enough I was chatting with a patient today and she’s big on Asian policy and she was saying how the US doesn’t understand China and how it’s a problem. How we are a young country and see things through that lens, but China has more history than us because their nation/culture has existed much longer, so they view their interactions with other nations through that lens. And how although we are a young nation, we still represent the West and are grouped with European nations (which have been around a lot longer than us, as well).

Even got into the concept of “flat Whiteness” (although I admit I brought that up after she mention the idea of being “American” and people not drawing on the cultures of their home countries)— but she agreed!


Crazy timing.

Sounds like your friend was doing a lot of babbling

Yeah. After he started talking about "wokeness" i checked out lol. His prediction about the US dollar is way off the mark too. It'll remain the reserve currensy for decades to come as there's no other reliable currency available at the moment. Euro and the yen arent as reliable as they used to be.

This is veiled anti-Blackness

Naaaaah… I feel you, but “woke” has been disassociated from Black folks for a MINUTE. So much so someone had to interview Badu and point out that a Black woman created the term— most Americans have no idea that she did.

“Wokeness” is associated with being super liberal. E.g. the acceptance of transgenderism, LGBTQIA having huge voice/presence culturally,
promoting hookup culture, individualism, etc. Basically all the reasons other cultures hate the “West”.

So funny how these enlightened worldly foreigners love telling us how ignorant we are by showing their own ignorance

Woke isn't disassociated from Black ppl...when ppl say theyre anti woke, part of it means they don't want a focus on anything non white

context matters, and in this case, it’s illogical to think the former PM. of singapore is using “woke” in the same way those among the american right do.

he’s referring to the decadence, hedonism, and moral subjectivity that has erased a sense of community and patriotic kinship in america.

A few fundamentals, but other than that there are blind spots galore.

Why is he using the term "woke" in that context?

Man fukk China..US too.

Theyre trying to control economically and militarily weaker nations through debt traps and mass migration of chinese to these countries.
