 I'm Pleased to Announce:

@Counter_Weight_ is here!

Led by @hpluckrose, counterweight seeks to help those who may not have the platform, knowledge, or skill set to confidently oppose Critical Social Justice (wokeness) and assert their own values in opposing discrimination
2/
 @Counter_Weight_ does this in three ways:

1. We focus on the individual with limited power.
2) We help people understand Critical Social Justice so they can resist effectively
3) We help people push back from within their organization in the way they want to.
3/
 By helping people understand Critical Social Justice and how it operates, and providing insight about how to oppose CSJ, Counterweight empowers individuals with limited power to push back on an illiberal CSJ takeovers of their organization, institution, or workplace
4/
 In addition Counterweight will also be providing original essay regarding various aspect of Critical Social Justice and the movement it created.

The first essay "10 ways woke ideas spread and stick" comes courtesy of @BlogUnwoke, it can be found here:

This account always lies.

@navalny was poisoned by the Russians, which we know becsuse they admitted it on tape. You can find an article on that with the embedded audio here:
This is not happenimg because @navalny is not a threat.

For what it's worth, Russia's elections are rigged. As you can see here:
The claim that the commujist party is very popular and what the Russians *really* want is communisim is absurd.

Opposition candidates who are a threat usually get disqualified for political reasons which is how communists pick up seats.

 One thing we never talk about with Cancel Culture is how Cynical it is.

Most of the time, people don't actually care what someone did, They just want to *use* cancel culture to take out a rival or get back at someone they don't like.

So, cancel culture as revenge

A Thread🧵
2/
 Cancel Culture started when people realized they get social media mobs to shame people for doing things they didn't like.

Now, people see they can get someone cancelled and are using it as a tool to destroy people either because they don't like them or they want revenge...
3/
 So people are using cancel culture as a weapon, and this is particularly true among young people.

Jimmy Galligan saw a 15 year old girl use a racial slur when she was 15, held the video for *4 YEARS* and then released it after she graduated to get her kicked out of college...

The issue is not Biden himself. The issue is woke Social Justice activists will burrow into every area of government. When that happens people will be "held accountable" for not being woke enough. Wokeness will become the moral paradigm.

Unity will not be possible.
Wokeness is utterly intolerant of anyone thay does not see the world EXACTLY as they do. They see anyone who think differently as "complicit" in racism. Once they have power they will ruthlessly drive anyone who is not fully woke out of society.

They can't abide conservatives...
Their ideology won't let them. It will be using the levers of government power to spread their ideology as much as they can, and using the levers of social power (public humiliation, cancel culture, and social shaming) to get what they can't get through government

Finally...

This person is lying.
We'll go through some of her thread via screenshot (she's blocked me) so people can see the dishonesty.
2/
 In pic 1 she says O'Toole said he would "fight for Canadians" which makes him like Trump as Cruz, Hawley, or Trump would use that Rhetoric.

In pic 2 Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's furthest left party, says he will "fight for Canadians"

She's just lying...
3/
 The phrase "fight for Canadians" is a common one in Canada. Justin Trudeau uses it in the screen shot here.

This woman is lying to make O'Toole look like Trump and hoping no one will check. Too bad for her I did.

 Time to talk Trumpers.

This is Cori Bush's bill to expel from congress anyone who supported election challenges yesterday.

Yesterday was Jan 6.

The bill is dated Jan 5.

*SHE KNEW YOU WOULD PROTEST, LOSE CONTROL, AND GET VIOLENT. AND SHE HAD A BILL READY FOR WHEN YOU DID*
2/
 You guys are going to take the "L" here and quite frankly you deserve it. Cori Bush is going to eat your lunch every day until Biden is inaugurated and there isn't a thing you can do about it.

So....

Let's talk about how to make sure this never, ever, happens again.
3/
 How did Cori Bush know you guys were going to have problems and violence?

Because she was trained in the lefty protest movement. Lefty organizing are what she did for years, that's her area of expertise. So she knows just how quickly and easily protests go off the rails...

 I've lost 300 followers today. I had added 200 this A.M. but I'm down by 100 on the day, so 300 must have unfollowed.

Good.

 I am not here to lie to anyone.
I am not here to cheer-lead
I am not here to get famous
I am not here for clout

I am here to try and tell the truth as honestly as I can. As most of you have seen this week when mess up I apologize.

I am being as honest as I can.
3/
 For that reason there is absolutely no circumstance under which I am going to allow my credibility to be destroyed by someone else.

If I ruin my own credibility that's on me and I'll own it. But it will be cold day in hell before I let someone else burn my credibility.
