The Woke are attacking: **ADOPTION**

Check the screenshots.

Well educated people: professors, consultants, and authors, are attacking the woman Trump nominated to the Supreme Court for adopting orphans from Haiti.

In woke-world this is normal and I'll explain why

A thread: ImageImageImageImage
2/
This is Amy Coney Barret with her family.

Keep this image in mind as we examine the horrible things the woke have said. We need to remember both who is being attacked, and who's hurting because of it. This isn't just an academic exercise, people are hurting.

Ok, Let's begin: Image
3/
We can't understand how this attack works, or what motivates it until we understand the theory motivating the attack: Critical Race Theory (CRT).

CRT is one of the most poisonous, noxious, toxic theories to ever come out of academia, and it's what's driving this attack.
4/
CRT says racism is in everything that goes on. EVERYTHING. Critical Race Theorist Robin Diangelo goes so far as to say the question isn't "did racism take place in that situation?" The question is "how did racism take place in that situation?" Because racism is in EVERYTHING.
5/
CRT teaches that Racism is permanent. Period.
No matter what you do there will always be some racism somewhere. No matter how much you read, or how hard you work, or how educated you become, you're never done. You must do "the work" of CRT every day until you die. Image
6/
CRT says ALL white people benefit from racism and perpetuate it, even without realizing it. According to CRT, *ALL* white people are complicit in racism and white supremacy. Here, CRT theorist Robin DiAngelo says ALL white people, without exception, have a racist worldview:
7/
The last tenant of CRT we'll look at today is "Interest Convergence Theory" which says white people only help black people out of self-interest, not because it's right, or they care. CRT says whites only do the right thing when it's popular or they get something out of it: Image
8/
As you can see, CRT has an attitude of scornful and jaded negativity, and a distrust of the integrity and motives of others with respect to race.

In other words CRT is incredibly CYNICAL about other people's motives, and utterly pessimistic about anything ever getting better.
9/
Only the most noxious form of bitter, scornful, pessimistic, and jaded cynicism can explain how people can possibly engage in mudslinging about the love and joy of this family:

(Again, please keep them in mind here) Image
10/
Now, one more point before we're done:

Wokeness blends Critical Theory (and it's variations like CRT) with postmodernism. So the tenets of CRT are picked up and used by wokists with a postmodern worldview, and postmodernism is every bit as cynical and pessimistic as CRT.
11/
Postmodernism says power is at the root of all social interactions in society, and every social interaction that occurs is purely about who gets power, who keeps power, and who gets to wield power. That's why wokists obsess over power.
12/
So, once you see the cynicism and pessimism built in to both CRT and Postmodernism, you begin to see how they can view everything, even adopting poor orphans, as a power play, misdirection, or dishonest move motivated by the goal of scoring political points: Image
13/
Postmodernism also uses deconstruction to blur the lines between concepts so they can apply them however they want. This lets the claim two things which are very different are really the same thing.

(A thorough explanation of deconstruction is here)
14/
Mix postmodern line blurring with CRT and the result is a woke woman claiming adopting a baby orphan after the earthquake in Haiti is similar to Nazi's stealing polish children from their parents. Of course, when she gets called out for this she denies guilt and plays victim: ImageImage
15/
Let's go through the layers of cynicism and pessimism in this Ibram Kendi tweet:
1. "Adoption" is really "stealing children"
2. Compassion is fake, it's really just a savior complex
3. He insinuates the parents think the children are inferior (savage) and used as "props" Image
16/

4. Kendi implies the parents have been cut out (instead of missing, or killed in the earthquake)
5. Kendi implies the parents are in "denial."

That was the takeaway Kendi got from looking at this family: Image
17/
Putting the images next to each other is actually kind of jarring: ImageImage
18/
Does this all make sense?

The attacks on the adoption here are grown in the soil of Critical Race Theory and Postmodernism. If you think everyone is acting purely out of self interest and has ulterior motives, eventually you'll apply that logic to everything: even adoption.
19/
And of course, because Kendi thinks everyone else is just clout chasing, acting for selfish reasons, and has hidden motives; anyone who thinks he's wrong is obviously a bot doing propaganda: Image
20/
Do you see it now?

Unless you think exactly as Kendi thinks, do exactly what he would do, and follow all of his ideas...you must be acting in bad faith and you must have hidden motives.

Honestly, imagine looking at this family and thinking "I see right through you people" Image
21/
The bitter, scornful, cynical, pessimistic thinking of the woke is dressed up as wisdom and poisons everything; even to the point where the woke attack adoptive mothers, using public accounts, where Amy Coney Barret's adoptive teenage children can find and read it.
22/
Wokeness poisons everything, and hollows people out until they are cynical, bitter, jaded, scornful, pessimistic shells of their once hopeful selves.

That's what wokeness does. Reject it.

If you hang around leftist circles enough you'll hear the "nazi bar" parable, and this explains how they think about everything.

They don't see themselves as part of being a social movement based on highly controversial and hotly disputed ideas... Image
...Leftists think their moral values, and social views are just uncontroversial expressions of what is morally right, and leftism is just what you get when everyone is "being kind" and "being a good person."

In their heads, they are the regular crowd at the bar.
They see leftism as the natural, normal, and healthy state of affairs that occurs when everyone is "being kind," they don't realize that leftism is a worldview and political ideology that is hotly contested, and that's built on a set of social values that are highly controversial

This "government teacher" doesn't know when America was founded, won't teach students the official curriculum, and teaches kids about activism, anti-racism, and Black Lives Matter.

Woke teachers took over K-12 education and the get funded by grants like these,

A Thread🧵
2/
The entire education system is full of activists, professors, and teachers who believe teaching is a political act, and Social Justice (AKA: woke ideology) should be the foundation of all learning and education.

Many of them are funded by the grants Murkowski wants to protect
3/
Let's take for example the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Murkowski mentioned in her letter.

This grant funds a school Rann Miller teaches at. Miller wrote an article defending the use of Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project in education👇 Image

The U.S. Government Accountability Office was designed to be a non-partisan watchdog that Audits government for waste, fraud, and abuse.

However, the GAO has been captured by progressives who are using it to advance to advance their political ideology.

And I have receipts.🧵 Image

2/
The job of the GAO is to hold government institutions accountable for the way they spend money and carry out their mission. That is, the GAO doesn't decide what policies get implemented, it makes sure the policies government passes get implemented, whatever those happen to be.
3/
In other words, the GAO is supposed to ensure that government institutions are actually using the funding they get from congress to implement the policies congress has actually passed, rather just implementing the policies that the bureaucrats themselves prefer.

In March this guy farmed 11 million views and 20K RT's by saying an "RFK blackmail story is breaking from multiple angles," while vaguely insinuating the CIA and Pfizer were involved and regurgitating widely available information.

And he hasn't tweeted about it since march... Image
2/
His whole game is to take widely available information dug up by other people and use it as a pretext to suggest that various events are caused by powerful interests who "pull the strings," and then make vague and unfalsifiable insinuations regarding who the string pullers are
3/
This is how he posture as a brave truth teller whose doing his own research when all he's really doing is regurgitating readily available information read through a cynical and conspiratorial lens, while engaging in wild speculation about "whose really pulling the strings."

I don't think the left realizes the degree to which giving puberty blockers and sex-changes to kids who wanted to change genders was a test of moral and intellectual integrity, and that test utterly destroyed the moral and intellectual credibility of everyone who failed it.
The people who went along with gender ideology didn't just end up on the wrong side of public opinion, they demonstrated for the whole world that they had no intellectual integrity, moral fortitude, and no ability to stand up for the truth or think for themselves.
The people who went along with gender ideology showed that they have no intellectual or moral anchors of any kind, and that they will pretend to believe anything and go along with any ideology in order to preserve their social standing and the esteem of their colleagues.

Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.

They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in.
They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.
They think they have transcended the cultural programming and are now able to influence the culture, to move culture forward because they are critically aware (or have critical consciousness) which lets them see the development of culture and the source code of social reality.
