  No it isn't. His political views have nothing to do with what he did/does. I am surprised you say that. Sadly you too fell into this trap

  It's not really a political view per se, although it often weaponizes things that have become politicized by certain parties. Saying it's nothing to do with what he did / does is as convincing as claiming "narcissism" wasn't relevant. It's absolutely relevant IMO as it's something he uses to virtue signal, to manipulate people, and to recruit flying monkeys to harass others as a way of controlling and excluding people.

  There is no "trap" here that anyone has fallen into - it's simply an observation.

  That's it's the goal of many people woke and otherwise

  There's a big difference in how people do it and why. Pretending to hold beliefs claiming you care about people is disingenuous. It's like pretending to care about victims of sexual abuse and then contributing to the sexual exploitation and human trafficking industry. The faked "concern" is a very relevant part of the story.

  I thought we were here to analyse with a critical eye Lloyd's behavior. I didn't know we were so elevate to judge and generalise the entire world. As someone who knows Lloyd very well I can assure you that him being "woke" is the least of the problems.

  It's relevant because Lloyd uses it to do what he does.

  Lloyd did what he did because he was/is "woke".

  No, like all "woke" people he uses it as a club to beat people. I don't think most woke people really believe a word of it, but they like having control of other people and the ability to silence them. That is why Lloyd is "woke", to get virtue signal points and to feed his flying monkeys their self-righteousness juice.

  I think that 'woke' was originally meant to imply that someone was alert to social injustice (itself a very flexible and politicized term), especially in forms that may not be obvious. The potential for misusing the term and using it as a political weapon should be clear.

  Exactly - and now it's used to impose social injustices. Like many causes, it ends up becoming the very thing it claimed to be against.

  Being "woke" means being an insufferable asshole that wants to dictate how everyone else lives, usually based on warped ideas. So yes, it is bad to be woke. They make the world a far worse place with their distorted outlook that ends up destroying societal norms and getting people killed.

  People like Lloyd use "wokeness" as a weapon, which is all it ever really is. It's a cancer.

  Oh, there's some comedy gold buried in here. Take this carefully cut-off quote:

  I opened fourteen nests of F. sanguinea, and found a few slaves in all. Males and fertile females of the slave-species (F. fusca) are found only in their own proper communities, and have never been observed in the nests of F. sanguinea. The slaves are black..."

  The slaves are BLACK!! OMG!!!!

  Lemme guess, the slave master ants are white, they gotta be white and have deep south accents and carry little confederate flags right?

  Well no, they are red ants and twice the size of the black ants. It's nothing todo with race as the carefully edited quote attempts to make out. Anyone know what color most ants are? They're black. But fun fact - there was never any transatlantic ant slave trade. Who knew?!

  This is just an example of how religiots lie, mislead, and twist things in an attempt to spread their filth.

  If I give evidence that evolution is untrue, it will be censored.

  Let me guess, another religiot that thinks they can "prove god", typically by vomiting a ton of random scriptures? Now you'll go off claiming that you had evidence and just didn't get a chance to share it because of that nasty man (but when you had the chance, you didn't).

  You don't even understand what free speech and censorship refer to if you believe that I am capable of censoring your or curtailing your free speech, so I don't hold much hope for you on deeper matters.

  Having read through the topic, it's clear that you are a thoroughly disagreeable person, prone to throwing out insults, making vacuous claims with nothing to support them and acting like a petulant child when someone points out the gaping holes in your ... lets be kind and call it "reasoning" (really, just blind belief).

  You obviously lack the ability to take part in any meaningful discussion, so it's probably best if you don't attempt to. We certainly don't need to listen to any more of your drivel.

  Having posts deleted is not "refuting". It is being censored.

  You haven't been "censored", claiming you have means you don't understand what that means. Get a clue so you don't embarrass yourself.

  I've explained about the ENDLESS images you keep posting, which IMO are simply designed to be disruptive and ruin a discussion, and you respond by posting more. So they are deleted.

  I love how they promote the idea that people shouldn't get formal further education and careers, but are happy to free-load those who ignored their advice or had the fortune to only join after they obtained them.

  Hypocrites.

  Canada is the same - nearly every couple in every advert is black and / or gay. There are no normal white heterosexual families ever shown, even though they make up at least 80% of the population.

  Remember kids: don't buy any crap from from commie wokesters!

  Cult speak: most exjw’s, especially when they leave, hate WT. In order to gain favour all anyone has to do is propose behaviour that directly conflicts with WT policy/doctrine and you instantly have agreement.

  There is a lot of that. It's immature, simplistic thinking. You see people leave the WTS and think they have to live "opposite life" as though it will prove the WTS is wrong or as if living a moral life will somehow mean you are not a real exJW.

  The idea that some rando on the internet is going to "take the WTS down" is also childish. It's a nice thought, lots of us might wish it, but when you start making promises and taking people's money ... well, at that point it's fraud IMO.

  Yep, his favorite word is Ad-hominin and strawman, when he is the one that does all this.

  Always accuse your enemy of doing things you're most guilty of. You see it with politicians all the time.

  These comments towards women who post these racy pics on Instagram only to advertise for their paid subscription services can only be made by this lonely twat who thinks he can date a sex worker.

  I wonder how much of his "wages" are also pissed away on only-fans and porn? Someone who REGULARLY pays prostitutes for sex likely pays to see naked women too.

  Just saw this on the Graphtreon ,com

  Aw, poor Lloyd, what cruel timing. Too bad, so sad.

  Is it his ego that makes him utterly stupid, or is actually stupid?

  I've often wondered this. He will make a claim, which suits whatever argument he's trying to make, then 10 minutes later he's making a contradictory claim. He can't keep a straight story for whatever reason - maybe it's because he lies so much (if you're telling the truth, it's consistent, and you don't need to work at remembering different things you've said). Or maybe he is actually stupid and because he can't remember the stories or see the inconsistencies he assumes no one else can either.

  If you ever try to debate him, it's like trying to nail jello to a wall. He's in full JW mode - switching topics, pouncing on the different meaning of individual words and obsessing about the slightest error anyone makes. But completely missing any coherent logical argument.

  Personally, I think it's both - it's ego and stupidity.
