I watched this earlier and recommend it whatever your party political persuasion. Joe Rogan does some great long interviews. Watch the first 10 minutes at least. I'd urge Jim to watch too and see how normal people rationalise things and discuss them. I've now watched about the first hour but I don't have good internet connection here so have to do it in stages when I have connection. It's been good and very interesting and I will watch the rest as and when I can. thanks for posting it (to be honest never heard of him or his guest before) Me neither, I arrived at Joe Rogan via Titiana McGrath / Andrew Doyle. I watched the Elon Musk one too, he's a very interesting character. And the Brian Cox one. Edward Snowden next...

But you obviously wandered in here last year, and decided to stay. Everyone is free to speak here, which is why it is infinitely better than CWDF and why I defend this forum, and occasionally become irritated when some ex CWDF members turn up and use their newly found freedom just to be disruptive. Sadly some merely like to be antagonistic and provocative, knowing others will bite ... and these rolls can be reversed on occasion. But I am sure you'll agree this is NOT political discussion. There are many more threads which avoid such nonsense, and I'm sure you'll be unsurprised to learn, they're my fav's. Rog Why are you continuously disrupting this thread which was intended to enlighten anyone interested to the very real threat of WOKE to our freedom? If you don't like political threads just don't read them but if you must why post 4 times to disrupt it? I had a pop at Jim because he doesn't discuss anything. I do my best not to be party political but have my equally negative views of all parties. I would love the labour party to concentrate on money not on WOKE. WOKE is crippling the USA as we speak, it's become deeply ingrained in the Universities where you can and will be sacked for not supporting equal outcomes politics. It got a foothold via a law that was merely intended to ensure equal financing of mens and womens sport at universities, now it's taken over and nobody dares to stand up to it - if they do they are sacked. Watch the video, this is not alarmist nonsense, WOKE is going to make an un-woke opinion a criminal offence and if we follow the USA, which we DO, "hate speech" intent will not have to be proved. All that will be needed is for someone to feel frightened by someone expressing an opposing view. Is this what we want? In the state of Florida I hear it is legal to shoot someone if you feel threatened by them. Some aspects of the USA really appeal to me. But the right to freedom of speech has led them down some interesting paths - one of which is the KKK's right to exist and march down the main street. This is why I find this forum so interesting - founded on the same principle, the same issues crop up. And here's another clip from my favourite TV show:

No, not really. Here's a funny thing John - I hadn't encountered the term 'woke' until a TB member spat it at me in a particularly vitriolic outburst. I presumed it was the most potent insult he could imagine but I had to look it up to find out what he meant. Is it an acronym because suddenly everyone is using it in capitals?
I'm sorry if I've given you the erroneous impression I'm negatively criticising the forum. But I do see it as a very interesting and possibly unique space.

On the "woke" term, it is a fairly new thing for me as well .... I have seen woke in action (without the name applied) for a while .... and despaired at those promoting it. My membership of this forum is a direct result of my strong rejection of censorship, even when I find those censored opinions repulsive. When CWDF turned into a version of a fascist state I objected, mocked, and begged for the status quo to be retained (previously a fairly light touch) they invented a new rule that I had "broken" ..... fomenting dissent ...... and banned me for life ....... so you see I have a lot invested emotionally in Thunderboat, so possibly I can be ......... defensive ?

You never get 'told off' for your posts about life in Finland, your photography, your rare but occasional expressed opinions to be fair naughtyfoxIt is the other stuff that people complain about ... not that you take any notice ... and of course this is thunderboat ... we proudly defend the right of everyone to post offensive bollocks ... and the right of everyone to complain when we do. Rog PS Who's in front now ... me you or JohnV

When Thunderboat was first formed I kept it alive by making many posts one after the other, to keep the flickering flame going. Now I get told off for making a few posts in a row. Theres such a thing as moderation..its your cut n past verbal vomiting that gets to me

PS Who's in front now ... me you or JohnV Well, I have been trying to get on with labelling my photos today, and should have made fewer posts. Quite interesting that Donkey counted today's posts, I haven't seen that done before. Unless he's lying. Wasn't lying...
No idea who is in the lead now - could even be Lollygagger... If I get even more bored later I might have a new count - get your posts in before 10pm though!

Yes, please have a count - no-one has done that before (except you earlier, of course).

This belongs on the WOKE thread: "And the award for biggest woke hyppocrite of the year goes to.. Emma Thompson! Emma Thompson abandoned new post-Brexit life in Venice after just four days and flew back to isolated home in Scotland when Italy's lockdown took hold Brexit critic Dame Emma Thompson has quit Britain for Europe after describing the country as ‘a tiny little cloud-bolted, rainy corner of sort-of Europe, a cake-filled misery-laden grey old island’. There you go Italy, she loved it when it suited, but will she support you when you need it? Bloody hypocrite! Didn't take her long to run off to hide in Scotland. I wonder how many tonnes of carbon she has generated in her lifetime flying everywhere First Class. IMITATION ECO WARRIOR. Another celebrity hypocrite telling us what to do, then doing the opposite So her loyalty to her new found preferential euro country of choice lasted... four days"
