It seems that if one expresses an opinion that isn't the official woke line , then that gives the "holier than thous" permission to destroy your life.( Of course they are all so " without sin" that they should achieve sainthood). I thought that here in the West we had free speech. I was obviously wrong! Not anymore!

Yup 👇🏽
You know, I've wondered what "woke" means. I don't even understand the word the way it's used today. As for free speech, I've gotten into trouble more than once for expressing my opinion about that orange creature, who's name cannot be said or at least I can't say it. (Late Joan Rivers: "Gag me with a spoon!") But yeah, I don't even know what woke means and I live in the U.S.
It is sad how things are now and days. If you´re a person that´s accepting, tollerant, understanding, passionate, pacient, compassionate, or just a decent person you´re called an idiot or other things that are worse. It´s sad that as human beings we keep electing people that are like that. Obsessed with fame, power, money, and violence. Were have the decent people gone (especially when it comes to polatics.) It seems that there really aren´t too many decent people that are politicians.
I have haddifficulties with expressing my opinion because i grew up getting shut down whenever i voiced it.
When i did not have the same opinion as the others and allowed myself to say something, there were suddenly at least 4 others telling me i was wrong.
Me being a libra (and while i normally dont believe much I this stuff) and me being italian means that i love harmony but that i also want my voice to be heard. For a long while, living i peace and harmony was more important to me than voicing my opinion. But i am at that point in live where i ask myself... if I live by other peoples opinion... how true am i being with myself... so i stopped that. Cost me a couple friends in the last 2 years but those who i love, love me back still and that is what is important
So.. voice your opinion @Marina - be as woke as you can be - people who love you wont turn away just because you have your own opinions and people who do.. arent worth the time
Good opportunity to ask this question. Does anyone know: what is free speech called in Europe and the rest of the world? I heard it was called freedom of expression. That makes more sense, because it's a broader term that includes things like art and symbolic speech. But places like the UK and Australia don't have a written constitution.
Many people are afraid of the truth, and those obsessed with power can take advantage of this. Meanwhile, these "holy people" commit much bigger and more disgusting crimes. :( To hell with all demagogues.
Trump called Letitia James a racist monster. That is wokism at its lowest. Does he own a mirror?
The unmitigated gall of that one.
Marina!! Don't get me started don't get me started don't get me STARTED!!!
What I do know, is that "woke" has been mischaracterized and misused by the rightist and weaponized into proporganda. It is coded language now.
Based on the real and true definition of "stay woke," you Marina are very awake. The rest of these jokers are the sleeping sheep.
I know exactly what you mean, Marina. I've had my life threatened b/c I expressed an opinion and then I'm told "This is the internet. People treat eachother like shit. Get used to it or get off." It's horrible how divided humanity has become. I just want people to treat each other with kindness and respect. And I just want to help people and make people happy. But apparently that's wrong too (or so I've been told over and over; both online and in real life). It's truly disheartening.
No one has the permission to destroy anyone's life! And we must fight to keep freedom of speech.
What are you referring to, dearest Marina, need I worry about you?
No civilized person should want to destroy another person's life because they exercise their right to think freely. I'll never understand that. And if Jesus himself said that he who is without sin should cast the first stone, and not one stone was thrown, then the holier than thou crowd needs to put their stones back in their satchels right now.
