Something extraordinary is happening in America

Before President-elect Donald Trump has even taken office, incredible things are happening not just in America itself, but around the world. Opposing sides in wars are realising that they have to start talking because if they can’t make peace themselves, peace will be imposed upon them. At home, woke-ism is disappearing before our very eyes. No new woke measures are being announced. It’s all gone very quiet. We are about to witness a revolution and a resurgence in the American spirit. A golden age.

Please no more of this bullsh*t. I am PROUD to be WOKE. As for peace breaking out, one of Gump’s top military advisors said he is the most dangerous man on the planet.
Golden age ? Have you actually listened to what the man. says in his rambling speeches?
The crap just will not wash with people on here and I wonder if you would be better off with a sandwich board.

Be as proud as you like but eventually you will have to adjust to the fact that a decisive majority of american voters rejected your values and philosophy.

I see no evidence of that, the war criminal Netanyahoo is still killing children daily, his mate, the war criminal Putin, is still destroying civilian lives in his colonial war to rebuild Catherine the Great’s empire.

Meanwhile the Orange escapee is planning to kit America out with the most unsuitable appointees to run that sad country.

Still, I’ll admit you have the thread title about right. :smiley:

I agree that there are some signs of hope in America.
But what has possessed Biden to authorise the use of U.S. supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine (i.e. Nato) to strike even deeper inside Russia, making the US a party to the conflict, instead of putting a stop to it all.

At least a third of the threads here have nothing to do with France.

I think it’s a sign that people, wherever they live, have varying opinions on the huge geopolitical changes that are taking place. And on their so called “leaders”.

Which would make Americans no different to most folks in the Middle, Near and Far East.

Isn’t that a reasonable balance? We discuss a large variety of topics, from music to film, tv, astronomy, cars, motorbikes, cookery, humour and so on.

The balance is fine, just merely pointing out that there’s multiple geopolitical threads already and SF hasn’t caught fire.

I’m going to move this out of General Discussion and into Politics - not everyone wants endless threads on the USA or world or UK politics on the site.

Please keep political discussion to the relevant part of the site.

Woke is what I did just beore lunchtime. It also means to have awareness of social injustices and systemic discrimination and to actively advocate for equality, inclusion, and the rights of marginalized communities.
Explain the problem with woke for a simple soul like me.
