Am I a Victim of Psychological Warfare? I’m Woke!
I’m feeling bruised and battered this week. I made the mistake of attempting to reason with a bunch of right-wing nut-jobs on Facebook. I was attempting to research the accusations of being “Woke” and find out more about how so many ordinary and friendly people I knew had been labeled as such by those on the right and the usual UK Newspapers.
As far as I was concerned, quite ordinary people were in danger of being scapegoated for all the ills in society under some title designed to create fear amongst the wider voting public. The Tory party in the UK has been doing it for years, trying to make the left appears as scroungers on welfare or generally of a weak disposition, soft on crime, etc. They use minorities as the enemy of society.
What started me down the rabbit hole of looney toons was when I just commented on a post that said, “We’ve kept Wokeism from taking over. It’s failing. Stay, Hold the line.”
I commented on it, saying, “What a BS Post! I’ll bet none of you can define what woke is even.
That was when I got the full barrage of invective, of so many wild conspiracy theories that were so laughable that I could not help but carry on winding them up, so I trolled them until I was so tired and very sad that there are so many like this around that I’d class as clinically insane.
