Konstantin Kisin: Woke Culture HAS Gone Too Far - 7/8 | Oxford Union

[@mattyjay8896]

As a conservative from America, I can assure you that the point of view Konstantin is presenting here, is precisely how we also see wokeness. Which is exactly why common sense, and logic will always dismantle woke ideology. Well done sir!

[@andreashahner2956]

That is exactly the point why the world goes to waste. People who think logic is their fortee but it is not. Just dreams and hopes that someone somehow will find a solution for the problem isn't logic, it's not even an opinion, it's just laughable. That's why a professional comic is presenting it. I don't have any hope left for mankind if jiokes are taken seriously by the most of the people. You don't want to change so your grandchildren will spit on your grave like you spit on their future.

If every nation hides behind their small percentage of responsibility and waits for others to address climate change, no progress will be made. The advancements in technology and society that Konstantin Kisin benefits from were all initiated by individuals and nations who took the first step. Climate change requires a collective effort, and waiting for others to act first is a recipe for inaction. Each nation, regardless of its size or contribution, must lead by example to inspire global change.

I went on about healthy this and healthy that. 10 years later, poverty stricken with a lousy husband, with a toilet outside and a bucket for my children to bath in, I was grateful for food and wood and medicine. I was 29 years old and no longer full of woke. (As if generation z invented it. What a joke.) I was a mum of 3 and living in a foreign country with a foreign husband. I couldn't speak the language and didn't have friends. Food. Heat. Medicine. That was my pyramid. So many woke kids don't even know what Maslow's hierarchy of needs (pyramid) is. The west is falling at a rapid rate. I returned to Africa in 2022 after 30 years in Europe. I don't want to freeze nor go hungry on the alter of wokeness. I didn't see a doctor since 2019 in the UK. Came back to Africa, saw a doctor and discovered I have an autoimmune disease which is ravaging my body. The doctors in the UK hid behind a screen for 2 years. So much for western civilisation. Fear riddles them. Here in Africa we still talk to each other without a screen. Here in Africa climate change isn't even a topic. Food. Heat. Medicine. Bringing up their children.

@DontTreadOnTeachers I studied Critical Studies at the University in Birmingham in the UK, Sociology and Gender Studies modules, some CRT. I applied Marxist and feminist and postmodern theory to texts for my Contemporary Literature module in the English Department... The answers to climate change are not coming out of these departments. Leaps forward for society are not coming out of these departments, I'm afraid. These departments are trying desperately to make society think they are useful or valuable. They have very little utility, and actually do a great deal of harm from what I've seen. The Critical Theories have resulted in a denial of reality in favour of standpoint theory. The feminist theory I was taught is now used to put men in women's pri /sons. No, you can't "identify" as a scientist if you are not qualified. So no, STEM is not just another identity. If you want to discuss Critical Theories further, and why postmodern q weer theory project of "q weering" categories is not useful to tackling climate change, but actually actively dismantles and corrupts every other discipline it comes into contact with, we can have that conversation. "There is no such thing as "hard sciences." " -- hope you tell them that the next time you need to travel by airplane, or you're in hospital being kept alive by people who actually learned something valuable to society, taking practical steps to keep you healthy or alive... While you type your reply on a phone/computer, a device no one in a Gender Studies or English Lit department would know the first thing about creating.

I'm from South Korea, and in South Korea, too. This country was one of the poorest countries when my parents were born in late to early 60s. Now, it is economically doing pretty well in the world. The development, economic prosperity, was achieved by building and running A LOT OF factories where people to work and earn their living. This is the exact same path that China has taken since the 80s, Southern East countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia have taken since 90s or 00s, and India is taking now. "You are not going to get them to stay poor", DECLARED by Konstantin is the exact message that the developing "global south" wants to convey, and is conveying, to the "global north". The global south understands that environmental protection is important, but not at the expense of hindering or sacrificing economic development. So whatever Greta Thunberg or World Economic Forum blathers, Konstantin is right. Climate change does not depend on the global north. It is the global south that will determine the course of climate change, and the global south will prioritize economic development.

This is so true. I work in an industry that takes climate changes very serious.

Yes the problem is that project climate change is a western project. The rest of the worlds doesn't care. I fear the way we handle the problem with the climate is going to set us all in a disadvantage because we are focusing on the wrong things. And now I know why I have this thought. We are focusing on the wrong things. We need to solve the problem with clean energy and we are not doing that. We also need to have cyclic thinking about materials meaning how to reuse things in stead of dumping them. We are doing that to a degree but it should be a core value. In stead we have a growing army of bureaucrats creating ever complicated survaillance systems to monitor the usage of carbon creating a whole new sector that need to be fed and paid by consumers. Making everything even more expensive. And I'm part of that army because I have to spend time surveying regulations, talking regulations and controlling regulations. Somebody has to pay me for doing that and that person is the consumer. I didn't have to do this work before and there is no other workload that I got rid of. No way China, India, South America and Africa is going to follow that example from the west. So whatever their solution to the climate is going to be, the west will just have really expensive goods that brings little to no extra value to those parts of the world.

you know why the other countries don't care? It's only partially because they are poor. Very. Go to the megacities in Asia and you'll feel like a hillybilly back in Europe.

A claimed(!) 1K warming direct by a doubling(!) of the CO2 - the rest hypothetical positive feedback loops. Like built in death traps, never observed in nature, never happened in our past. Read the Tech Reports of the IPCC. I did. I am a Physicist but you you don't have to be one to understand that there is not one single experiment where even in a lab a significant warming by GHE was shown. Not one single formula of that so called "science" made it into standard physics.

It is a good speech but very wrong point of view. Most pollution isn't done by poor people but by big companies that cut any possible corner to save a buck. Tell me how much pollution a poor person from China or India is going to create, yes he might start a business that is bad for the environment but that is in the future and in much smaller scale compared to other existing manufacturers. Right now there are many companies, factories, corporations that only care about profit and are owned or related to many of the wealthiest people of the planet but this guy points his finger at the poor people. It is the same with water problems in the US where they are doing what they can to make people less and less water because of drought yet the main problems is the agriculture of water heavy plants like avocado. Those farms are mostly owned by big companies not small farmers. So again the problem aren't poor people but BIG CORPORATIONS.

His point is that we have to work harder in the tech and science to help those countries to get to that point and then trade for their adesion to protocols for climate preservetion.

Brilliant!!! Finally someone saying it!!! I spent the last years saying the same thing to my family and friends, to just be seeing like a bad/negative person... For saying what I believe is the most simple truth of all. Time to speak up for positive and constructive REAL solutions! Thanks Konstantin!!!

This was an even greater speech. So clear, well-spoken, so positive yet very critical. What can anyone say to denye these words. Maybe even feel offended by them? I hope most students still have a bit of common sense deep in their hearts and brains. More is not needed. But I fear the WEF's work is desastrously well working.

What an amazing speech. He says so eloquently what the majority of 'normal' thinking people have known for years. It is such a shame that we do not have speakers of his stature and ability in our government, who are not afraid of 'offending' the idiotic woke minority (unfortunately growing), but rather can state what the good people of this country need to hear...and then have the courage to put it into practice with their policies.

He’s part of the problem lol!! You’re being led on.

He's presented a false dichotomy here. It's not as if we can't protest, make our voices heard, and also be inventive and create new technology and reduce emissions all at the same time. Also, it's horrific that poor people will need to front a large part of the burden in order to curb emissions, but if they keep slamming that big button and releasing CO2, ultimately it's the poor that will face much, much worse conditions as climate change's feedback loops begin to take shape and create conditions of scarcity, food water shortages, heat, and extreme weather. The solution is both for major lifestyles changes in the global south, as well as countries in the north working on new technologies and giving money and resources to poorer countries in order to fight climate change together. Woke culture advocates for this just as much as anyone else concerned about ACC.

@@VesperAegis. Climate change is NOT going to do away with this planet, God IS! The woke doesn’t seem to be too concerned about that! I’m more concerned about the sin in this country and the world than I am climate change! I tell you what, you keep screaming and protesting about climate change and I will calmly and lovingly tell you that Christ is coming back and he will destroy the heavens and the earth and we will see which one has it right. The problem is that if I am right about Christ it will be too late for so many to get their hearts right with God.🥲🙏

@@VesperAegis When you're protesting and obstructing transportation you actively waste your time, breath, calories consumed, effort to make actual work on improving your or anyone's living conditions, and then you waste all the same valuable resourses of all the people you shout at. Tell you what, Kostya and I are from the same part of the world. You wanna make less impact and go greener? You vote people that budget well and steal less, at the same time going to your dacha, or a village your family originally came from, maybe visit a granny living there with 7 cats, and there, outside of city all 3-5 months a year each weekend, WORK ON YOUR OWN GARDEN. You use glass for your many preserved berries, you get less obese without having to go to gym (though skin cancer is out to get ya and back pains and joints). You have your own chickens that are pastured in that community. You buy from local farmers and don't waste gasoline to import your avocado halfway across the world. That's what you do.
