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.

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....

"The very people in charge of disseminating education and challenging young minds have completely abandoned that task and are now wholesale focused on promoting this ideology."

@joerogan is right: woke activists hijacked education so they could indoctrinate kids.

A thread🧵

In his book "The Critical Turn in Education" education professor Isaac Gottesman explains how leftist activists brought Marxism into universities and radicalized the field of education in the 70's. They wanted to put Marxism into the foundation of American education.Image
3/
In his book "Teachers as intellectuals" education professor Henry Giroux said his goal was to use Neo-marxism as his framework for how to do education, and that his goal was to use education as a vehicle for leftists social transformation.

He says this explicitly: Image
