This is transparent bad faith. He takes his own reading of the politics of America amd then just says "translation" to insinuate something was said that was not said.

I hope he doesn't take the same approach to scripture

He then dishonestly claims that the "center" of American politics is synonymous with "Christian Nationalism."

This is a lie.

More false insinuations.

If this was an even vaguely plausible reading of what was being said I would leave it. But it isn't. Ot's a deliberate attempt to paint something in the worst light and pretend it says something it does not.

Now we get to what he's after

He wants to smear anyone who says "we don't agree but we can take the steps we all agree with in the meant time" as being on the side of evil unlike the man who has it completely right: @phil_woodson

Of course he adds some bargain basement Christian wokeness by declaring, yet again, that everything is white supremacy.

"If you think Christianity creates American exceptionalism you believe in white racial superiority" is a completely dishonest thing to say...
He might redefine white supremacy as an unconcious systemic force and then say people who conflate Americam exceptionalism with Christianity are "complicit."

Same boring trick they all pull: using complicity as a catch all to link anyone they don't link to white supremacy.
It's a smear job.

Don't you ever let any of these people ever pretend that they are honest.

They make no effort to give people a charitable reading and thennuse uncharitable reading to justify smear jobs. Do not forget this.

It says use a dictionary to define communism, but as @realchrisrufo showed in *the next tweet* kids had to simulate a Free Angela Davis rally. She's a communist. It's easy to infer the kids were primed to give a favorable definition of communism...
2/
Greg also ignores that, these *5TH GRADERS* are being taught about *checks notes* Black Communism in a unit where Angela Davis, who once said people in Soviet Gilags deserved it, is painted as nothing more then an academic and activist.

Again, these kids can barely even read.

And we are supposed to pretend there's nothing to see here.

It's willfull blindness.

So @scott_m_coley wemt after @DennyBurk on twitter. He accussed Denny of operating bad faith.

Here are screen shots of the screed, amd he even pinned the tweet saying it was a subtweet and gave a hint. Telling us who he was attacking.
Scott attacks Denny's character. He says there is no evidence of Denny's "work ethic and ability" then says that Denny is not just wrong, but also that Denny cares more about his own power then he does about truth.

Any way you slice it those are character attacks.
note that Scott uses the term "raw ability." That means the natural intelligence to do the work. He isn't going after Denny for not being trained, or properly educated for the task. Scott is attacking Denny's intelligence.

Don't be fooled, that is EXACTLY what that is.

now....

The reality of biology in a single clip:
Transwomen are women
I'm not being a jerk, I'm making my point with a sledgehammer.

Pretending differences between men and women don't exist is utterly absurd, and people keep saying it. This ACLU lawyer quite literally says "Women and girls who are trans are biological women and girls."

Yesterday we found out @ginacarano was fired from Star Wars over Social Media posts

Lots of people talk about cancel culture, but so far no one has given a serious account of exactly what cancel culture is, where it comes from, and how it works

So, Cancel Culture

A Thread🧵
2/
There's a lot of confusion around cancel culture both because cancel culture is a new phenomenon, and because some people have dishonestly and cynically misused the term in order to score political points. So let's try to get clear about EXACTLY what's cancel culture is.

To begin, I need to say something about "free speech."

Free Speech is not *only* a legal principle. It is that, but it isn't *just* that. Free speech is also an enlightenment liberal **VALUE**

Read that last sentence again because it's the beating heart of my thinking here.

IMPACT NOT INTENT!

The idea is that it doesn't matter what you meant to say, all that matters is if someones feelings were hurt.
This idea from woke academic literature is destroying our ability to communicate; to fight it we must understand it.

Impact not intent

A Thread🧵
2/
The conceptual machinery that created "impact not intent" has 2 parts

1. The collapse of the use/mention distinction

2. The "Death of the Author" thesis that says the person who says/writes something doesn't get to say how it should be interpreted

I'll explain them in turn
3/
I'll explain the use/mention distinction, give an example, then show how "woke" academics attacked it.

The use/mention distinction is simple. Lets use "cheese" as an example.

You can *USE* the word: "where's the CHEESE?"
You can *MENTION* the word: "How is 'CHEESE' spelled"

By focusing on immuteable characteristics (like race or sex) and making someones identity about those things wokeness, critical theory, and critical race theory ends up justifying, defending, and spreading racism and bigotry.

By dividing people into groups based on...
2/
things that are totally outside of someone's control (IE: nobody can select their skin color)
Wokeness/CRT makes things totally outside someone's control the central focus of their identity, even if a person doesn't want their skin color to be the foundation of their identity
3/
For example, I'm Jewish, white, male, and straight. I don't want people to judge my character based on any of those things. I want those things to take a backseat to who I am as an individual.

I want to be judged by what I say and do, not by things I have no control over.
