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.

A medical journal published in 2019 claimed there is a 3 years old patient among Kaiser Permanente's gender affirming care patients.

In 2023 CBS reported a 3 years old trans patient was mentioned in Kaiser Permanente employee training: Image
Image
3/
Kaiser Permanente has a gender-affirming care policy which states in explicit language that they are willing to perform gender change surgeries on person under the age of 18.

What's worse, is that there is no absolute age-limit in the policy. Image

Centene is a $155 Billion Dollar Healthcare corporation. They specialize in administering government healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

Centene runs their entire business using DEI, ESG, and "sustainability" frameworks created by progressive activists

A thread🧵 Image
2/
Centene uses and ESG framework to run their entire business. ESG is a framework that makes it easier for companies to get capital (loans, credit, etc) if they have policies that align with the "Environments, Social, and Governance" priorities of the ESG score creators. Image
3/
The creators of ESG are all-in on Climate Change and DEI, and accordingly the ESG framework that Centene uses reflects those priorities.

Because of how ESG works, If Centene doesn't do all of this, they will get a low ESG score and have a harder time getting access to capital Image

Conspiracy theories are the rights' version of Critical Theory

Critical Theory says hidden/unnoticed systemic forces (discourse, capitalism, racism, etc) control people - Conspiracy theorists say hidden/unnoticed cabals of powerful people control people

It's the same structure
In both cases there is some hidden or unnoticed thing that is controlling people in ways they don't realize, and is operating against the interests of the people being controlled.

And in both cases the solution is to "wake up" and learn to see the forces that are controlling you
Both critical theory and conspiracy theories use a large dose of "connect the dots" sort of reasoning to make their case, and they both invoke a very high degree of cynicism towards mainstream explanations that don't appeal to hidden forces ("That's what they want you to think!")

UnitedHealth Group is a *$379.5 BILLION dollar* healthcare corporation that's gone completely woke:

-Sex Change surgeries for minors
-Hormone Therapies for teens
-DEI programs and training
-Employee groups segregated by race

Let me show you how deep the rot goes

A Thread🧵Image
Image
Image
2/
Let's begin with sex change surgeries for teenagers.

UnitedHealthcare's Gender Dysphoria Treatment Policy allows Sex Change Surgeries up to a year before a person turns 18, if the person has 1 year of hormone therapy.

That means starting hormones at 16 and surgery at 17 Image
Image
3/
It gets worse.

UnitedHealthcare has different Medical Policies for different states. In states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the medical policy has *NO* explicit minimum age requirement for sex change surgery.

I repeat: *NO* explicit age limit for sex-change surgery. Image

Trinity Health is a $20 BILLION dollar healthcare company with a DEI program which tells employees that society is systemically racist and racism is a "public health crisis"

They might be the most woke healthcare provider in America. Lets see how deep the rot goes

A Thread🧵 Image

Trinity Health is a HUGE not-for-profit corporation.

They have $23.9 BILLION dollars in revenue each year, and they have gone all in on "Critical Social Justice" (AKA: woke), as evidenced by the fact they implemented DEI across the entire company, including all services Image
Image
3/
Trinity Health is also going all-in on "Health Equity."

In Critical Social Justice/woke "equity" means "Adjusting shares so citizen A is equal to Citizen B." This means that they are going to try to "fix" social inequality by giving resources to groups seen as oppressed. Image
