surprised you can breathe considering how far you are up your own ass.
Tell you what, let me know what you're doing personally apart from getting triggered on here and we'll compare notes eh?
I pay all my taxes, I use my single vote each 4/5 years (this current lot are nothing to do with me), I treat every individual as an individual .... what else should I do? Go glue myself to the railings of an energy company headquarters like you?
If you want real change then maybe stop voting Tory or Labour. Start voting for the independents. Canvas for them. Throw some f your money behind them to get rid of the 2 party system we have.
Or continue to be a keyboard warrior. Your choice fella.

When you say you have no impact or control, isn't that a choice?

My choice is to help those I know who are struggling.
Jesus, you lot really are turning woke. And yet none of you is doing anything significant either apart from play keyboard warrior on here, and every 4/5 years still vote in the same old bag of sh*te government.
You could ask your saviour for some help too ... where is he when the poor need him the most?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Now, publicly pontificating about how much you care just to look righteous is bad but I don't really see people doing that here.
You have no idea what people are doing in their communities or in other ways - charity work, altruism, whatever. You just assume everyone else is as self-centred?

Originally posted by d000hg View PostWhat a nasty piece of work you're showing yourself to be. 'Woke' simply means being aware of issues in our society affecting groups who are routinely overlooked or badly treated. It's a silly word but it's nardly the insult you seem to think to care about maligned demographics. Rather the opposite.

You may well do some stuff in your community, and I applaud you for that, but most on here seem to be whingers jumping on the next bandwaggon.
And it's the choice of 'woke' that I find funny on here - get upset about certain demographics being treated badly because of something they 100% cannot control (like BLM, no one can control the colour of their skin) or those trying to escape genocide from their home countries and you're shouted down as 'woke' because those groups don't deserve help (according to the likes of the wail)
But mention that some people have made life choices that have had a direct influence over their current situation, and it's all tears and wailing (see what I did there) because their skin colour or background fits those we're happy to help.
As I said, I help those I know when and how I can. I didn't however vote for this vile government and their policies so damned if I'm going to be made to feel guilty for how they treat the less well off when I didn't put them in power.

You seem to be the one calling others woke, I thought?
