Next time a company fires someone for old tweets or facebook posts because they HAD to "protect their brand..."

Just remember Netflix was willing to lose money and take the heat over "Cuties" so they could pump images of 11 year old girls doing this into every home in America: Image
For people saying "it was art" smoking pot artistically still gets you high, drinking a 12 pack artistically still gets you drunk, and sexualizing 11 year old girls for the sake of "art" using gratuitous close-ups is still sexualizing 11 year old girls using gratuitous close-ups.
Someone gets shot in a movie... but the bullets aren't real.
Someone is killed in a movie...they don't really die.
Someone is a Nazi in a movie... they aren't a Nazi in real life

If you can depict evil without doing the evil that's ok, but you can't DO evil so you can show it...
I can't murder someone so I can show how bad murder is.
I can't rob someone so I can show how bad theft is.

And you can't have an 11 year old girl do the things shown in cuties so you show how bad it is, without asking them to do things which are genuinely sexual.
You can't describe your way out of the charge of sexualizing an 11 year old by saying "it was done for storytelling reasons" anymore then you can describe your way out of murder by saying "Judge, I killed a man to film it and make a movie to show people how bad murder is."
The point here is you can show evil in a movie so long as you don't actually DO the evil you are showing. You can't actually DO evil so you can film it and show it.

There is no way to film these scenes without sexualizing these girls. You have to DO the evil to make this film.
Here is an excellent thread on this. I highly recommend it:

Here is another thread on it. More disturbing footage, I urge caution, but it makes the point with a sledgehammer:

One more thing:

Jodi Foster PRETENDED to be a prostitute in Taxi Driver, They didn't have her actually turn tricks so they could film it. And, in the movie when a teen prostitute tries to prostitute herself to someone, the person won't let her.

This kind of ugly blurring of lines is brought to you by Queer Theory.

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🧵
2/
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.

I never want to hear another word from this @kkdumez about saving democracy, or cynicism in politics.

The people that she has joined with here, particularly Rick Wilson are the most utterly nihilistic, dishonest, self-interest and Cynical people in all of politics: right or left.

Let's demonstrate this with a few words directly from Rick Wilson

🧵Image
2/
Rick Wilson says, we're in a culture war, and the way to win is not dialogue or discussion: it's through the use of emotion and spectacle.

he says that when someone says they worry about CRT, you don't discuss facts, you say "they're using the N-word"

That's a direct quote👇 Image
3/
Rick Wilson was trained by Lee Atwater (video 1) And it was Lee Atwater who was responsible for the infamous "Willie Horton" ad (video2)

That's who trained Rick Wilson.

And You can see the jaded cynicism of Atwater was absorbed by Rick Wilson in the next video....
