This guy says anyone who doesn't agree with him is just dying to say the n-word.

Professors like this destory their fields of study because if ever a colleage disagrees with them, they accuse that colleague of hidden motives and arguing in bad faith...
If you're a moderate like me and have to take a class with a prof who acts like this, avoid getting noticed and avoid unecessary contact.

You don't need his mentorship or connections. There will be other mentors, I promise. He can't help you, and even if he could he won't...
he would just destroy your reputation with rumour and innuendo. Enforcing absolute political agreement and making sure everyone is as woke as he is is is first priority; medieval history is a very distant second place.

There are people who care deeply about medieval history...
And Medieval scholars are some of the most generous, caring, and capable mentors. Find one of those scholars. If you have to take a class from @prof_gabriele (or someone like him) tell him what he wants to hear so you can pass, and keep your personal and professional distance.
Don't let a guy like that ruin your education experience or career by getting in a mentorship or other situation which will only end up hurting you.

There are plenty of other professors you can learn from and be mentored by.

🙂

 To understand why Social Justice (woke) advocates think the way they do, you need to understand that they have been completely poisoned with cynicism.

This is why they act like they "see right through your bullshit" even when you are being 100% honest.

Let me explain:
2/
 When I say poisoned with cynicism, I mean that woke people have adopted a worldview that says that the words and actions of other people are not to be trusted or taken at face value: Image
3/
 This means that the woke view every conversation or discussion with a person who disagrees with them like it is a conversation with a dishonest car salesman, and the goal is to unmask the "real motives" of the other person.

The existence of hidden motives is assumed...

 The woke are trying to take over every business.

Companies like Coinbase and Trader Joes that reject wokeness thrive; companies like Yelp and Spotify that don't face backlash and woke employee revolts.

So, resisting woke take over tactics in your organization,

A thread🧵
2/
 The first thing to realize is the woke want to take every institution we have, whether it is a school, church, business or non-profit organization, and turn them all into vehicles for spreading wokeness.

They want every institution in society to preach their ideology.
3/
 The woke want wokeness to be baked into every single bit of culture that gets produced. So every movie must have a woke message, every song a woke theme, every church a woke sermon, every school a woke curriculum, and every sports league must have woke messages in the arena.

 Trump caught COVID-19:

The same diagnosis
The same medical reports
The same updates from the same doctor
The same videos of Trump
The same photos of Trump
The same available facts...

Two totally different conclusions

Let's talk about why

A thread🧵
2/
 Each side has a story they want you to believe. So they take the available information, slice it up and edit it into clips, soundbites, and images; then they cherry pick the bits they like and reassemble them in a way that tells the story they want you to hear
3/
 Editing allows them to add or remove information, change the context, and decide which facts they want to FOCUS on (IE: using closeups to show one thing while leaving other things out of the frame).
This is how the same facts can be used to tell two VERY different stories

It's postmodernism mixed with critical theory. The only thing it takes directly from Marxism is conflict theory.

Wokeness/Social Justice is not Marxism. The only thing it takes from Marxism is conflict theory. The rest comes from Critical Theory and Postmodernism. To say Social Justice is Marxism is like comparing the current Ford Mustang to the 1930's Model T, or a computer to an abacus...
We are dealing with something new, abd acting as though we can treat it the way we treat Marxism is a huge mistake.

Social Justice and Postmodernism will eat us for breakfast if we do that.

 The woke are not trying to win the culture war against liberals intellectually, they are trying to win SOCIALLY.

The woke don't fight academically with evidence and reason.

They fight SOCIALLY using power moves to take over institutions and bullying tactics to shut us up.
2/
 The woke do not want to merely participate in liberal democratic society; allowing their ideas to be carefully scrutinized by our academic, cultural and democratic institutions.

The woke want to SEIZE POWER in those institutions, and mutate them into institutions of wokeness.
3/
 So the tactics adopted by the woke were developed for seizing institutional, cultural, and political power, not for discovering the truth. If it works to send social media mobs after people to get them fired so woke people can take their jobs works, then that is what they do.

 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

These terms are everywhere, and they do not mean what most people think they mean. These terms are loaded, and I'd like to show you what under the surface of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" initiatives.

A Thread: Image
2/
 When most of us hear "diversity," we might think: "make sure our group has people with different ideas, perspectives, and viewpoints, so we can look at whatever problems we face from many different angles."

This is *NOT* what Social Justice means by diversity.
3/
 Sometimes people hear "diversity" and think: "make sure not to discriminate against people because of what they look like; if you do you'll end up rejecting good people and leaving 'talent on the table'."

Again, this is also *NOT* what Social Justice means by diversity
