🚨🚨🚨🚨

ATTENTION!!!

Woke activists demanded @target stop selling Irreversible Damage by @AbigailShrier because it doesn't agree with woke gender ideology.

Target gave in and removed the book.

The activists explicitly said the goal was censorship.

We need to push back NOW.
This is censorship, and we can't let this go. If we allow this to stand it sets a precedent that woke activists get whatever they want just by tweeting. We MUST push back and make this a PR *DISASTER* for @Target
This book @target removed is by @AbigailShrier. Woke activists have tried to censor her before.

When Spotify threatened to strike unless they could censor the @joerogan podcast a couple of months ago, her appearance on his show was the reason why:
Push back **NOW**

This must be met with a demand that the book be reinstated and that @target to stand up to woke activists or lose our business.

WE MUST NOT DEMAND ANYONE BE FIRED, OR THAT TARGET CENSOR OTHER PEOPLE.

We only want @target to stop choosing sides.
If we let this stand it will become permanent policy. So raise hell amd don't set foot in @target until they reverse this decision
And, I never say this, but please tweet to raise awareness and RT others raising awareness

I feel the need to say this:

I think Biden won. Unless something comes out of left field (any thing can happen in 2020 I suppose)...he won.

I understand the media double standard. I do. But the answer is not to adopt their tactics. We can't do that.
2/
Let the legal process happen if there is one, but don't delegitimize elections without evidence.

What the media does is a problem. That they let certain people cast doubt on election results is bad. I know. I really do. I totally get it.

But...don't adopt those tactics
3/
It hurts. I know, I've been there.

And I know many of you are afraid to watch wokism sweep through the government bureaucracy. In understand. I do.

But the solution is not attacking the electoral process.

-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:

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:

@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
