See this?
This is a joke, but humour has a social function. Jokes can:
relieve tension
build freindships
create unity
Or be used for bullying.
This joke is thinly veiled bigotry. The social funtion of this joke is to test the fences to see what's allowed.
My favorite thing about this tweet is people pretending his joke is about Chilli's.

No.

The point of the joke is to claim eople with white skin lack any authentic version of that fundamentally human thing called: "culture"

And THAT is the point of the joke...
To diminish the concerns of (especially) white people whose cities are being burned to the ground. He does this by claim white people have no culture so when their restaraunts, businesses, and stores torched to the ground "nothing of value was lost that day."
In other words....
Burning white peoples institutions is ok because, being white and being a product of a worthless white culture, they have no valur and lack the fundamental characteristics of being human. Burning a white business down is no better or worse then burning a pile of weeds.
That doesn't even account for the fact some businesses burned were owned and used by what wokies would call BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). So it isn't just businesses and institutions owned or used by white people which are being burned.
It all awful...
And he is trivializing all the concerns of everyone.

Lets end this thread with this...a Black woman in NYC telling of looters for destroying the neighbourhood of poor people:

Woke "Social Justice" activists have hijacked and weaponized public health!

The CDC and the American Public Health Association made a Climate Change manual about putting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into everything they do.

The Woke healthcare takeover,

Critical Social Justice (AKA "woke") activists take over organizations in order to use them as vehicles for spreading woke ideology.

This is why the APHA and the CDC, which is supposed to focus on health, has pages focused Social Justice, Racism, Climate Change, and Equity.

So how exactly are the woke hijacking health?

Let's look at that.

The CDC has created the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), which serves as a vehicle for using CDC resources to focus on such things as Racism, Climate Change, and Equity.

The current campus protests are not actually about, Israel, Palestine, war, or any other concrete issue.

They exist to recruit members, create activists, and train leaders as part of the process of "MOVEMENT BUILDING."

Lee Staples Explains this in "Roots to Power."👇

Leftists don't pick up issues because they want to solve problems. They only pick up issues they can use todevelop leaders, train activists, and grow their "Grassroots Community Organizations."
For the left, solving the problem isn't the point....the point is to get power. Image

The forward to the book that I have been quote was written by Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven.

Cloward and Piven are long time activist/academics and have been members of the radical left since the 60's.

They are very important names that you should know because....

The ex-CEO of wikimedia, said a free and open internet is a "White Male westernized construct." Now She's CEO of NPR and is paid with your tax dollars to decide what information people see on NPR.

Woke activists hijacked every government institution.

Let's talk about how🧵

The first thing to realize is that this is not a isolated case. Let's look at some examples:

Kelisa Wing was a Pentagon official in charge of DEIn for the Defense Department’s schools. She gets paid to brainwash people with DEI while taking sarcastic shots at white people.

The Center for Disease Control decided to make *Health Equity* core to its mission, they say that means advocating for:

-Free internet access
-Free access to bikes
-Policy changes in housing

They're advocating for woke policy using taxpayer funded government institutions Image

@realchrisrufo is 100% correct.

The incentive structure of the online attention economy is optimized for conflict. As such, there is no way for a purely online movement to obtain the stability required for long term political success.

We need a new way forward...
2/
We need is a method of conflict resolution that allows us to settle disputes and also disincentivizing conflict as a strategy for engagement.

I suggest the creation of an online conservative journal, centered on online discourse, that allows factions to argue their case...
3/
The best articles about various disputes, coming from different views, could be collected and published together.

If the journal became high prestige it would incentivize excellent writing and argument over engagement farming.

I have seen the New York piece about the @hubermanlab and I want to briefly comment.

I speak here as a Christian FWIW.

The correct way to deal with interpersonal moral failings is not to publish the sin of a man in public as a form of humiliation. That isn't right.
2/
IF someone sins against you then, if it is possible to do so safely, you should go to that person directly. IF they repent, apologize, and change, then you have won the person over and addressed the matter. IF this works, you have won them over, and brought repentance...
3/

As Paul says "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over."

This is the goal. It is our job to seek repentance and reconciliation...not revenge and humiliation.

The key word to understand when it comes to wokeness is **SUBVERT**

Woke activists destroy what they don't like (truth, facts, the constitution, etc) by SUBVERTING them.

That is, the woke undercut the power and authority of institutions and concepts they don't like.
The goal is never to show that a thing is bad, and idea is wrong, or an institution is not doing it's job. Rather, the goal is to try to obliterate the social and moral authority of the idea, goal concept, etc in order to delegitimize that idea, goal, concept, etc.
What the woke do, and what the dialectical left (including Marxists, neo-Marxists, Critical Theorists, communists, etc) do is to try to win social and political fights by subverting the validity, legitimacy, and authority of any idea they don't like.

This is how they proceed.
