in other news... what is "woke" supposed to mean? (I see it used a lot, for different things) Woke = an extreme version of left leaning adherence to political correctness. A good example of woke nonsense in play; The woke support BLM riots and in the face of flames and mayham, insist they are "peaceful protests." So 'woke' really is a rather inaccurate and unfortunate term.
Baizuo 白左, (/ˈbaɪˌdzwɔː/, /baɪˈzwoʊ/; white left) Chinese neologism and political epithet used to refer to Western leftist ideologies primarily espoused by white leftists (per google, wikipedia).
The urban dictionary is more explicit: Baizuo (pronounced "bye-tswaw) is a Chinese epithet meaning naive western educated person who advocates for peace and equality only to satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority. A baizuo only cares about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment while being obsessed with political correctness to the extent that they import backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism.
The Chinese see the baizuo as ignorant and arrogant westerners who pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours. Browsing international news commentaries you learn about surprising different perspectives on the reality we're informed of in the US. Surely, who tells the truth? How do you know?
Baizuo "advocate inclusiveness and anti-discrimination but cannot tolerate different opinions."

So 'woke' really is a rather inaccurate and unfortunate term. your example is based on lies and you've stated it that way because of the propaganda you've been subjected to and influenced by but hey! I hear book burnings are making a comeback... all in the name of wokeness what have you heard about 'critical race theory'? CNN was ridiculed for a video caption Wednesday night that read "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting" during a report from national correspondent Omar Jimenez in front of a building engulfed in flames during protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis. Critical race theory? Sounds like you're actually well-aware of what 'woke' means, after all, and you were just playin' dumb..? What for I wonder? |

What for I wonder? that's a funny caption given the timing and juxtaposition of that reporters appearance.. but it would be dumb to 'ridicule' it (unless you were motivated by an agenda to link the lawless riots to the peaceful protestors) |

It has different meanings depending on who you talk to. Ergo the opening salvo. |

Whatever I know about the word has no bearing on my asking for other opinions. I see people on Twitter use it a lot and I'm pretty sure there must be multiple definitions.. Who springs into action when you see a question mark ? |

No, that's not the reason. He denied because all of them who are standing against him were his brothers. Saying 'he sees himself in the other' is completely different from they are his brothers. If they were not his brothers, he would have proceeded the fight so easily.
Nope, that's not true either. Krishna instructed him that all the greatest warriors standing against him were already killed by me and you Arjuna are just a puppet who are going to execute what I have already done.
You always half read the story no matter whether it's bible or Bhagavad Gita and started writing from there. Please don't do. Someone among the crowd like me will find your fault.
 technically speaking, you are correct, no doubt. Arjuna sees enemies who are not his enemies. You're right, the story plays that out with familial relations, but the point is, Arjuna can't bring himself to fight people who he loves. The Christian version of Satan has an interpretation which has morality factored out of it: simply, the opponent, simply, the other. So, we could also say, for example, that Arjuna could not find Satan on the battlefield that day.
You'll have to show me the exact translation where Krishna tells Arjuna that he's a "puppet". The moral of the story is that in transcendent terms, the battle has already happened, but in personal, linear time, it is a life or death struggle. This is the true nature of reality. If you dismiss reality as nothing but a dream you are just as lost in the dream as if you think that your dream death is an existential death.
Where can I read more on Arjuna? |
