Prosecution introduced evidence now where Douglass Mackey/Ricky Vaughn called Black people “the most gullible,” as in easy to deceive.
He also said women should be denied the right to vote.
Please consider this in the context of Tucker Carlson hyping him.

A jury will decide if Mackey committed a crime.
But what he said and did speaks loudly about the Trump movement.
His Ricky Vaughn account was wildly popular with Trump’s base, and this man essentially believed that non-white people and women were irrelevant, just dirt.

We also learned more about this “War Room” DM group.
Extremists coordinated to make Wikileaks and Podesta Emails-related hashtags trend, as well as disinfo schemes meant to demoralize young people, women, and people of color.
Really grim and palpably uncomfortable to read.

This is abjectly false BUT I want y’all to see what is being done purposefully:
“Woke” is being recast as an *outright threat,* which makes it-and us-far easier to attack. They’ve even added an “-ism” to make it sound sinful-like racism im or sexism.
This is intentional.

This is intentional.
When “woke” means “liberal” principles or “political correctness, casting it as “wokeism” makes it easy to attack those principles through, say, the banning of books.
When “woke” v simply means Black people, “wokeism” makes it easier to, say, suppress our votes & protest.

White supremacy colonizes for evil-including WOKE, which was bastardized after Black folks created it.
That’s why homegirl couldn’t define it & there is no central definition: because they never meant for there to be one.
It’s just a boogeyman for white identity threat.

So hey here, I’m a person w/ an actual degree in African American studies who still works in the field.
This woman is wrong.
‘Woke’ is a decades old slang term for ‘to be awoke’ to situations amongst African Americans dating back to the 1930s but popularized in the 1960s.

She’s also using an age-old strategy of white establishment members to:
1) denigrate —a said topic/person/institution (ex: The anti-woke crusades)
2) deny the existence of and/or the validity of said subject (ex: Woke is an catch-all term for things whites don’t like)

And

@IanGianni @jessgill03 No one mentioned location school rules or policies school rights property laws tort or burning Korans

@IanGianni @jessgill03 The Koran which was THE BOY'S OWN property WASN'T burned otherwise destroyed badly damaged or otherwise seriously affected
Just scuffed a bit
And HE DIDN'T do it
It wasn't against school rules or policies
He was punished for association with an incident which was "offensive"!

@IanGianni @jessgill03 The reasons a "different" example than actually burning a Koran was given
Because it was actually a real life-example & couldn't be denied
It was so trivial - minor scuffing v total destruction
HE didn't do the "damage"
Yet he was punished for being involved in the incident..

#WokeCulture has gone insane lately. They’re expecting conversations with people in specific pronouns, they’re indoctrinating kids in schools on diversity and inclusiveness as if one race is always bad and other good.
They’re expanding gender affirmative … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Riku Niemisen eduskuntavaaliehdokkuuden myötä uudelleen keskustelunaiheeksi 8 vuoden takaa noussut #blackface-sketsi on hyvä tapaustutkimus samalla tarkastella #woke-asenteiden kehitystä ja toimintalogiikkaa Suomessa. #wokehommat 1/x
Heinäkuussa 2015 Suomen Kuvalehden kolumnissa oli kriittinen sävy. Nieminen kommentoi, että hänellä ei ollut pahaa tarkoitusta, syytökset olivat "absurdeja" ja syytöksiä hän piti "sädekehänkiillotuksena". Rasismia hän ei asiassa nähnyt. 2/x
Nieminen on vuonna 2021 sittemmin pyytänyt vitsiä anteeksi Apu-lehdessä. Hän toisti, ettei tarkoitus ollut paha ja pyysi anteeksi ihmisiltä, "jotka kokevat, että blackface normalisoi rasismia", eikä ulkonäölle nauraminen ole ok. 3/x

One of the most diabolically clever notions the Left has ever devised in order to advance its Marxist agenda has been “systemic racism.”

It’s so useful that “experts” keep finding it in more and more places, and absurdity is no bar for how low they will go. Their audience, after all, is Leftists, who are already accustomed to swallowing absurd claims on an industrial scale
Todays #woke revolution has many similarities to the past socialist and communist regimes trying to change the very fundamental ways in which humans think and function.

I asked ChatGPT to tell me a joke about women.
It refused because it will not tell a joke that is “derogatory or offensive to a particular gender or group of people.”

A joke about women is potentially offensive.
But a joke about men, implying that we are alcoholics, is perfectly okay?
Nothing “derogatory or offensive” here…

Why woke corporations censor: "Because they're afraid. Afraid that the lessons they learned at progressive universities won't stand up to objective scrutiny. Afraid that vigorous debate breeds societies of citizens, not sheep..."

Every word has a variety of senses & connotations, which shift over time. The word '#woke' is a good current example.
The Right are attempting to make the word 'woke' a pejorative, while others embrace the term, in the sense of its original meaning: 'awake to social injustice'.

Language is a communicative activity, highly dependent on context, whether that of the ongoing discourse or of social & ideological changes. Work on semantic change has focused, not on results of change, but on enabling factors for change.
