It’s actually worse than this.

1. US bans gain-of-function research (GOR)

2. Bureaucrats, through the Charitable Industrial-Complex, funded it abroad in a lab in China

3. Global pandemic occurs, beginning in the same Chinese city with the lab

4. The media LIONIZES Dr. Fauci
5. The bureaucrats AND the leading scientists collude to make the lab leak theory untouchable in science journals and the media, and anyone who discuses it, RACIST

6. Dr. Fauci denies funding GOR research in Congress (see Rand Paul exchange)
7. The lead bureaucrat who facilitated the actual funding of GOR research is appointed by China as part of the investigative team on the ORIGINS of Covid19

8. He dismisses the lab leak theory and drums up new hypothesis that virus origins came from FROZEN FOOD imports
9. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SUBPOENAED

10. The media is still not doing its job
11. NIH admits that EcoHealth (the non-profit group in question) failed in its reporting duties about its pathogen enhancement work in Wuhan. So it acknowledges that GOF research was indirectly funded by the NIH

12. Then this nonsense:

These Asian kids’ stories of discrimination by the “new and improved” Boston Exam Schools admissions process is heart-wrenching to see.

For the past 30 yrs till the pandemic struck, admission to the 3 prestigious public schools was weighed equally btw GPA & the entrance exam

🧵
result. But this year, the committee drastically altered it in the name of diversity & equity, such that 20% of all students citywide with the highest GPAs would be admitted, while the remaining 80% of all seats would be allocated based on...ZIP CODES.

This may seem on its face
to be racially neutral, but it’s not.

This is where these immigrant children who live in Chinatown come in. Chinatown’s median income is lower than Mattapan’s ($38K vs. $55K) but yet, its number of seats was slashed from 24 to 7 (a 40% decrease) while Mattapan’s *increased*

I was never interested in this story. A heated exchange at the local park between two Coopers became a national incident, absorbed into a meta-narrative about the systematically racist ether that animates all our lives.

But I *am* interested in how

narratives take shape and become established truths, mostly because what becomes collective truths affect policies and actions.

Looking at the world through this racial lens means that every person is reduced to a racial avatar (with inherent moral worth) and the storyline then
molds itself around the characters.

This is not journalism. And this is not the first time.

A woman has lost her job, her dog, and now lives in hiding, in part because this neighborhood fracas exploded out of proportion and the account presented by the mainstream media was

If anyone cares for the plight of Hmong Americans, rather than using their ethnicity as a pawn to further “the narrative” (see below), they’ll naturally oppose affirmative action.

Because penalizing Asians in college admissions *hurts* the Hmong more than any other group.

🧵
The Hmong (a group from Laos, many of whom were settled as refugees) underperform academically and in terms of median income compared to other Asians.

So yes, they are “obscured” in that sense. But considering that a below-average Asian student has a 6% chance of admission into
US medical schools while a similarly-qualified Black student stands a 56% chance of acceptance, this discrimination hurts the Hmong who are penalized as if they are in fact, privileged.

Of course elite mainstream discourse, instead of promoting meritocracy to help the Hmong,

Guess it wasn’t enough that the @expensify CEO emailed all 10 million of its customers last year to tell them how to vote (title of email was “Protect Democracy. Vote for Biden”).

Ignoring the huge breach of trust, now it’s doubling down with this new email!

I don’t doubt that
some of funds will go to good causes and actually help people.

But this bit about donating 25cents for every dollar paid to a white male employee?

There’s a subtext here isn’t it? It generalizes entire demographic categories and weirdly implies a mathematical relationship
between a white male employee and whoever they think they need to be compensating for.

It also begs the question: why don’t they just hire whoever it is on top of the oppression matrix to replace white male employees at Expensify then? How about the Board?

The gulf between the Asian-American celebrity + Instagram activist class (most with fancy degrees) and working class immigrant Asians is HUGE.

At this point, the former’s interest in advancing its ideology & activism is antagonistic to the latter’s.

This tension between the progressive, utopian, luxury beliefs of an elite class is coming to a head with reality on the ground: crime is skyrocketing, as are homelessness, mental illness and drug overdose rates, and old vulnerable Asians are bearing the brunt.

The old trope
that a conservative is just a liberal mugged by reality seems to be highly reinforced by the political experiment that is San Francisco.

This article doesn’t even examine the other ways that progressive policies are red-pilling average Asian Americans - CRT in schools, the

In light of Psaki’s admission that the White House is flagging posts that “spread disinformation” to Facebook & that the guilty should be banned from all other platforms, do you think our media would vigorously oppose this the way they opposed Singapore’s “online falsehood laws?”
Because when POFMA - Singapore’s anti-fake news laws - debuted in parliament, pretty much every mainstream media (and Amnesty and Hunan Rights Watch) criticized it.

So why do they recognize the dangers of the govt in cahoots with Big Tech when it comes to foreign countries but
Not their own? Why the double standards? Why the inconsistency?

Either this is government overreach and a dramatic curtailing of free expression, or it’s not.

The answer of course, is that they are just partisan hacks with myopic blinders. Their tribe is doing the censoring,
