And btw, just like woke is sarcastic slang for progressivism, “based” is sarcastic slang for “based in reality”

Which is why you’ll never hear the left calling the right woke, and you’ll never hear the right call the left “based”

Your point was that the military has not become more woke/progressive, and I pointed out proof how it has

It’s pretty simple. I know you don’t have it in you to ever admit being wrong, so ignoring the article I posted, along with the proof I mentioned regarding their policies towards LGBT now vs back then, and continuing with personal attacks of me being some “drunk” is the best your brain can manage
Buddy my point was that worrying about how woke the military is... isn't the real problem with the military.

However, your reading comprehension sucks and you do love to prattle on like a loudmouth at a bar so you go, girl.

I know it's a text based forum, but do you fellers ever think Ben Garrison has to label everything in his comics because his consumers are imbeciles?

Because that's what I think. Maybe I should label things with "sarcasm" and "nuance" so mister unsunghero understands me better.

Your best bet is admitting you are too naive to understand that woke is slang for progressive

That’s your only real defense here. Tying to help you look less incorrect, I’d take the suggestion

Also, Rob, what’s so negative about women that me being one is some sort of an insult?

Let’s explore this a bit. Is it a bad thing if I believe I’m a girl? Or bad to be a girl?

You could try to say “no no that’s a compliment!”. But then I wonder, why do a compliment right after two previous insults of being a loudmouth and having no reading comprehension

It sure seems like me being a girl is another insult. What do you find so negative about women?

Definitely think republican leaders are trying to re-energize their base anyway they can but during the midterms they questioned the voters and GOP voters really didn't care about what was termed 'woke.' They care more about the bordered, something the older generation had heard enough times and understood.

Q: You know that some Republican lawmakers have been attacking various efforts on the diversity inclusion front in the military complaining about the stand out order earlier this spring.

Some have started a system on social media for active duty troops to file complaints about the so called woke media military. What is your observation or comment on that?

MR. KIRBY: Well, and these are members of Congress, Jennifer. We respect their rights and their responsibilities. We certainly respect the oversight that Congress provides. I'm not going to comment on any specific one initiative that members of Congress might be doing. I think that's more appropriate for them to speak to.

What I can speak to is what we're really focused on here at the Department and that's defending the nation. And that means putting in place the right resources, the right strategies, the right operational concepts to do that, around the world.

And that – you saw – you want an example of how seriously we're taking that. Go back to Friday when we laid out the budget for you and the kinds of capabilities, the kinds of systems that we're trying to purchase acquire, modernize and improve to be able to defend this country from enemies and adversaries.

And that's where the Secretary's head is. Now, in order to do that, you need good people. The – the – you can't – warships, aircraft, systems, some of them can be unmanned but most of them are manned right now. Most of them have crews, they have people servicing them, keeping them in the air, keeping them in the seat and you need good people.

And the Secretary has been very clear and fairly unapologetic about the fact that we want to get all the best talent that we can available from the American people. If you need the standards and you're qualified to be in the military and – and you're willing to raise your hand and serve this country, we want you to be able to do and we want you to be able to do it free of hate and fear and discrimination.

We owe you that if you're going to raise your right hand and volunteer to serve your country. That's the very least we can do. And there's no apologies for that. No apologies whatsoever for wanting to create that kind of a working environment. And it is a work in progress.

It's not the kind of thing that you can just say on one day and walk away. You got to keep focusing on it. It's about leadership and it's about how you treat people and how people should be expected to be treated when they – when they wear the uniform of this country.

So again, we're focused on defending this nation. That means the capabilities, the systems, the programs, the things you guys covered on Friday. But it also means the people, the sons and daughters that – that American parents al throughout this country are helping support and helping encourage to come – to come wear the uniform.
Sure sounds just like a buzz word in a lackluster means to get younger republican voters on board.

There's no such think as a woke military. Don't be a petty drama queen.

I’ll read that eventually, but you don’t have to get so deep

Let me explain. The reason the sarcastic slang term “woke” exists is all due to the ongoing battle over language. It exists because it’s more effective

Think of the alternative. Is it smarter to attack the word “progressivism”? “Progress”? That thing that motivates us as humans to achieve. The only thing that keeps most people playing MMORPG’s like P99?

No, it’s not smart to attack “progress”. So the right has created a slang word, attached a negative connotation to it, and intelligently chose to attack that instead. Some still will attack “progressivism”, but it’s a fewer than prefer to replace the word with woke

It’s all about language manipulation. Sort of like the left’s use of “moral panic” and other things meant to deride and mock things the right gets passionate about. Because attacking the thing itself like “parent’s knowledge of what their kid is being taught in school” doesn’t look as good as attacking the newest “moral panic” over transgender theory

Twisting language has a purpose and can be effective, although thanks to people like me spelling the tactics out, hopefully more people can recognize it and see through it

Lol tell me you don’t understand the meaning of the word without saying you don’t understand the meaning of the word

Keep up the attacks on women, do you generate this dislike of them due to some dynamic with the wife?
