So every single japanese person is woke?

What does woke actually mean to you?

You are so tightly wound you cant even spot sarcasm any more.

bro.
take a breath man.
it’ll all be okay!









or it won’t.
but hey, there’s not much whinging here will do about it.

 

[Worried2Death]

We’re NZ not Japan. In a NZ context it’s sandwiches and fruit.

Woke is making illogical/ biased decisions that are more expensive; with less uptake and more waste to appease a minority.

So in a NZ school context Sushi is woke, even though I like sushi!

In what world is rice "woke" tho, that's the kind of rhetoric that makes him look a fuckwit.

just being himself makes him look like a fuckwit.

It’s not the rice, it’s the whole woke decision making process that got to rice.

We’re in the boorish political phase that all new govts use by blaming everything on the last one - ‘poor economic managers’ or ‘woke’ or ‘9 years of neglect’, etc.

Winners use the opportunity to write the history of the previous lot.

All just a game and so predictable…

Agree with all that of course, but what's the Woke decision making about kids eating rice? I grew up eating rice, was my mum a wokester?

Exactly. I listened to Luxon yesterday saying that Mitchell was doing a wonderful job even after he fucked up the presser.
If that happens with a Labour political he would be calling for him to be sacked

Wokes a recent term. Was it hipster back then?

Trend here:

Govt announces rule change to make water rates 20% cheaper and focus is negative around interest cost.

Govt announces huge investment in prisons and the focus is negative based on a press conference.

Govt announces extension of free lunch - more for cheaper, and the focus is negative about sushi being woke.

Lots of depth to our media… meanwhile the govt is starting to do some good stuff in the real world that’s going to make NZ a better place to live

I think it was eat your rice or go hungry you ungrateful little shit.
No one claims be be Woke because there's no such thing, it's a term used by assholes who resent people caring about the environment, inequality, bigotry, human decency etc.
On other hand there’s the cookers who claim to be Awakened to the conspiracies no one else can see. Politicians like Seymour and Peters are scum for appealing to them imo.

They have been talking about good stuff but nothing has changed yet.
IE Do you think that Mitchell has improved anything yet.
He has continually said he will follow the Western Australia process in dealing with gangs.
Western Australia has had a few charges and the last time I checked no convictions.
They just simply move to another state.
Not a viable solution

Is wokeness any different to calling people boomers or millennials?

Speaking of which, aren’t avocados the height of wokeness? I hope none of the new sandwiches are avo Sammie’s!

 

[Worried2Death]

The discovery of the antimony reserves in Reefton could be our ticket to mineral wealth extraction, albeit very dangerous to handle.
Watch the contracts go to internationals who strip the profits offshore while the average kiwi gets no benefit. A few dodgy local individuals in the shadow kingdom will get wealthy off our natural resources no doubt.

Those are generational categories, avos are a fruit last I heard

You mean like those poor Australians living below the breadline while their country is stripped?

More akin to the low wage Cantabrians struggling to pay first home mortgages while their water is shipped to China at 3c a million litres. Call me cynical, but we're more corrupt than the aussies.

All this concern is touching, but I'm really okay, thanks for asking though. Quite relaxed.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Those are generational categories,

Radical, neoliberal, socialist, libertarian, greeny, capitalist, populist, wokester, etc

All just labels to help us figure out who on which side

Right (unintentional but I'll take it) up this government's alley

Except none of them are very accurate and it's all divisive propaganda to get elected bro. After that it's business as usual, pretending we can do anything about international economic trends.
One major exception, if China cuts off our trade we are truly fucked.
