-Trump wins the most non-white voters by a Republican since 1960
-A possible Biden win
-11 new Republican WOMEN in congress

If you think any of that ends wokeness let me introduce exhibit A.

Eddie Glaude dresses up racial guilt as humility and pours it on everyone:
2/
The woke are NOT going to stop with the racial gaslighting. If anything, it may receive less media coverage in terms of news stories, but takes like this one claiming Cubans are "white' not hispanic are going to continue.
3/
People like Nikole Hannah Jones still have their positions of power in places like the New York Times. In light of all the Cubans and Venezuelan ex-pats who voted for Trump, they will pump out content that claims people aren't "really" Latino unless they vote the right way:
4/
They are going to say the Cuban- Americans and Venezuelan-Americans are race traitors because they voted for Trump and call those people sell-outs
5/
And they will continue to lean into the identity politics even harder then they already are. The racial scape-goating of white people and the attempts to make everyone who is not woke feel stupid and ignorant in an effort to undercut their moral authority will continue.
6/
They will claim that in light of the election result what is needed is more focus on race, not less. This means more racial hot takes, more articles meant to guilt people, and more media gaslighting
7/
They will begin to claim that any gay person who voted for Trump does not really count as gay, or is not a trustworthy person.

Just more slander to erode the credibility of anyone who disagrees with wokeness.
8/
They will expand the definition of whiteness to include anything that they disagree with, and will claim Black people who do not support wokness either aren't really Black, or "think of themselves as white."
They'll call them oreos: "black on the outside, white on the inside."
9/
They'll say women who voted for Trump can't think for themselves and are puppets controlled by their husbands.

They'll do this to ignore what those women actually think and claim those voters don't have the ability to make their own decisions and thus have no moral authority
10/
They will continue to engage in disgusting smears against black people who are not woke enough. Here Joy Reid calls Sjpreme Court Justicd Clarence Thomas "Uncle Clarence." She is hinting at the term "uncle tom" a racial epithet used to refer to a self hating black person.
11/
So this is NOT over. The woke have burrowed deep into our institutions, and if you think they are going to let them go without a fight you are mistaken. What is FAR more likely is that they will, under the guise of "sensitivitg training" try to make institutions MORE woke.
12/
And if Biden repeals the executive order against Crtitcal Race Theory they will sweep in dressed as "diversity training" and IMMEDIATLY begin to quickly and quietly spread wokeness throughout the government, and turn government agencies into woke spreading institutions.
13/
The Republicans have rejected wokeness.
Many Democrats voted against wokeness (the dems voted Biden, the least woke candidate!!!)
Everyone hates wokeness, but it is in the institutions and it will not stop.

So get ready for what's coming because...
14/
In the same way the devil comes dressed as an angel of light and fascism comes wrapped in a flag carrying a cross; wokeness comes wrapped in compassion and empathy while preaching Social Justice.

So get ready, be on your toes and do your prep work because...
15/
To quote the now cancelled Winston Churchill: "This is not the beginning of the end, it is the end of the beginning."

Now the real fight starts

Let's go.

@roderickgraham claims @HPluckrose and @ConceptualJames" lied and took advantage of an honest process" when they got several papers, which argue for absurd positions, published in respected journals. This is a dishonest redescription of what happened...
2/
First I'll explained what happened, then I'll show how Rod bends the truth to make an unfair insinuation.

What @HPluckrose @ConceptualJames and @peterboghossian did was claim, very publicly, that there was a problem academia, namely academic journals were publishing shoddy...
3/
scholarship using methods which were not rigorous. They wrote public essays about this long before it was revealed that they had gotten absurd papers into academic journals.

Here is one of their essays which speaks about this issue explicitly:

AOC is on the cover of vanity fair and no one says a word

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.

A THREAD🧵
2/
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.
3/
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

Wokeness is deeply postmodern.

Most of you have been told postmodernism contradicts other key elements of wokeness like critical race theory, neo-marxism, and standpoint epistemology, which means wokeness can't be postmodern.

This is wrong, and I'll explain why:

A thread🧵
2/
We need to understand the objection before we can show why it is wrong, and show just how completely postmodern wokeness is.

The objection revolves around the idea that postmodernism is relativistic, nihilistic, and skeptical of meta-narratives. This needs unpacking...
3/
A meta-narrative is a theory that tries to give a comprehensive account of how the world works, and how society works and functions, by appealing to universal truth or universal values. So a meta-narrative appeals to absolute truth to try to explain "the arc of history."

When I do a thread about why enlightenment liberalism is better than critical race theory Image
"So you see, Critical Race theorists accept the postmodern worldview, but deny the skepticism of meta-narratives, and they think that gets them off the hook for their postmodernism" Image
"This is why they think they avoid the charge of relativism. Isn't that right @ConceptualJames ?" Image

The woke: "tHeRe'S nO PoStMoDeRnIsM iN cRiTiCaL RaCe ThEoRy"

Critical Race Theorists:
Hello philosophy Bro's and CRT people:

The point here is to show Critical Race Theorists have absolutley made use of postmodern ideas and tools even though many of them claim a commitment to liberalism, and have been aware and discussing the tension since the early 90's
This shows CRT has been trying to figure out how to use postmodern theory for a long time.
And, as it turns out, intersectionality was how they brought postmodern theory and politics together. From Kimberlee Crenshaws essay "mapping the Margins":

I mean, dude, it's right in your own quote. Mills likes what postmodernism does politically and he says so in the highlited portion of the bit YOU quoted. Also, he seemingly accepts large portions of Postmodernism via postcolonial theory (hence his focus on deimperialism)....
2/
Yes, he rejects the move of some of the postmoderns to be skeptical of all meta narratives.

But postmoderns did away with the "incredulity toward meta narratives" since Kimberlee Crenshaw wrote "Mapping the Margins" and she states explicitly that....
Intersectionality a
Is a “provisional concept linking contemporary politics with postmodern theory."

So yeah, they don't accept the postmodern conclusion that doubts all and every metanarrative. They do accept many other aspects of postmodernism and he says so...
