The Girl Scouts made a nice tweet about Amy coney Barret, then got mobbed and had to delete it.
This👏 isn't 👏about 👏free 👏speech
This is about Discourses.

The "discourse" refers to the discussion that occurs around a topic or idea. This includes the words used, how the ideas are conveyed, and the ways in which various points of view gain traction in the conversation and become dominant or become the "default" view.

So included in the idea of "the discourse" are:
1. the words, signs and symbols used in a discourse
2. The ways in which ideas are conveyed and communicated
3. How particular ideas are used in a given discourse
4. The idea that certain views come to dominate the conversation

So, legal discourse includes the fact there is specialized legal language, particular ways lawyers use ideas, the fact that there are ways the law is talked about both formal (court rooms, legal texts) and informal (TV shows, twitter), and which legal ideas currently hold sway

Why do the woke focus on the discourse so much? Because the discourse includes both the language we use to build ideas, and the ways those ideas are communicated and shared. If you control both of those things you have control over ideas in society...

And if you have control over the language, ideas, and communication in society you're getting really close to controlling thought, which is basically the game the woke are in: they want to control thought.

So, to use the legal example, if you control the legal discourse, you can control how legal language is built, which legal concepts are used, how those concepts are used, and which arguments hold sway. At that point you can basically control how people *think* about the law.

Because the Woke think that the "discourse" is what controls us all, we are all held captive to the ideas we have access to and the ways we are trained to used them in line with which ideas are dominant, they want to control the discourse.

So the woke want the discourse about AOC to revolve around how she means well, how smart she is, how cool she is, and why you should trust here. They want the discourse around Amy Coney Barret to be that she's a religious nut coming to steal your birth control and abortions...

For this reason when AOC gets on the cover of Vanity Fair, they want AOC to eat up every drop of clout she gets from that. On the other hand they don't want the "discourse" around Amy Coney Barret to include the idea that women can see her as a role model.

So what do they do?
They say "YAS SLAY KWEEN" to the AOC Vanity Fair cover, and then mob the girl scouts for saying a nice thing about Amy Coney Barret. This is done to control the discourse, to take over the discourse, and impose rules of wokeness on the discourse

The point being that if you control how ideas are built, how they are communicated, and which ideas win out in society, well then you are a hair's breadth away from thought control. And that's what the woke want... to control thought. They are totalitarians. Simple as that

Understand that and you understand why the woke always try to influence, limit, and otherwise control what people say and how they say it....
They want to control the DISCOURSE. See through them, and don't let them do it. Speak your mind openly, honestly, and carefully.

Do NOT let the woke control the discourse, determine what is off limits, or decide which ideas will hold sway.
Fight back and think clearly and honestly for yourself without letting yourself get bullied into compliance.
