Most woke activists have exactly one move:

To claim anyome who disagrees with them is a violent racist.

Canadian Truckers drove to Ottawa to protest border restrictions, and this guy claims the convoy is "violent" and call it a Kkkconvoy.

Because he has exactly one move...
2/
Woke activists operate through reputational destruction. Their strategy is to accuse you of being violent and doing harm while tarring you as a "racist," "sexist," "bigot," "homophobe," or "white supremacist."

They have no good arguments, so they attack your character.
3/
Another tactic is to have a double standard in regards to judging a protest.

They insist woke protests be judged by the best intentions of the most articulate protestor, and non-woke protests be judged by the actions of the worst person who happens to show up at the protest.
4/
The goal here is to say: "if you disagree with me, I will tar you with all kinds of smears, destroy your reputation, tear down your social standing, and verbally spray you with a sort of social stink so people won't want to be associated with you."

This is their goal.
5/
They can't win on the merits of their position, so instead they try to win by playing SOCIAL games.

Rather than winning the argument on the facts, they instead try to intimidate, threaten, coerce, shame, and other wise generate social pressure to force people to give in.
6/
They will try to make their smears "stick," by doubling down over and over.

Do not try to make them "take it back" because they never will. In their eyes, it is better to use even the most trivial reason to double down than to admit they were using dirty tactics...
7/
The thing to do is point out their tactics.

Make it overwhelmingly obvious that they are using social pressure, bullying, smears, insinuation, and guilt by association. Once the people see the tactics, then they will see through the tactics.

That is your goal...
8/
Finally, I support the what the truckers are saying: Vaxx passports need to end.

The CDC now says Vaccines do not stop the spread of Omicron. The vacvines reduce the severity of the symptoms, they don't prevent infection or transmission.

Fwiw, I'm double vaxxed.

Woke education activists have decided that during math class *5th graders* should learn to, and I quote: "challenge the hegemonic structure of marriage."

It's not just Critical Race Theory, they're bringing woke gender theory into k-12

Gender theory in k-12:

a thread🧵
2/
This comes from a paper by Christopher Dubbs, education professor at East Stroudsburg University.

Dubbs wants k-12 teachers to use queer pedagogy (teaching methods) and to engage in "Queering Mathematics."

The key words for the paper are, of course, "equity" and "diversity"
3/
I will explain everything going on here so you can understand exactly what's happening.

Most people think the goal of a math teacher in k-12 is to teach math: to teach students how to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

That's now how woke professors think

I know most of you aren't Christians but in this argument between @DennyBurk and @bethallisonbarr, beth provides a perfect example of "linguistic sleight of hand."

Beth goes after @DennyBurk for saying she denied "inerrancy" (the idea the Bible contains no errors of any kind) Image
2/
@bethallisonbarr claimed @DennyBurk was not being honest (pic 1) so Denny came with receipts and explained why he said she denies inerrancy.

This is where the *sleight of hand* comes in.

NOTE THAT THE DISAGREEMENT IS ABOUT **INERRANCY**

That word *INERRANCY* matters here... ImageImage
3/
Because look what she says next:
-commitment to biblical authority
-the bible is divinely inspired
-it's is God-breathed
-it's useful for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness
- she beleives it
- she affirms the gospel.

You know whats missing..

**INERRANCY** ImageImageImage

Attacking the definition of terms and obscuring their meaning is a common move done by the woke and their sympathizers.

Here's a great example. This guy claims even the term "Critical Social Justice" itself is "made-up" and "doesn't mean much".

This is obvious nonsense
2/
"Critical Social Justice" (CSJ) was clearly defined in the book "Is Everyone Really Equal?" by Ozlom Sensoy and Robin Diangelo. That definition, and it's explanation, are in the screenshot below.

saying CSJ a "made-up term" that "doesn't mean much" is simply false.
3/
The authors of that book are not unheard of either. Robin Diangelo is a tremendously influential scholar whose book "White Fragility" spent at least **97WEEKS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST**, and her work has been cited thousands of times by academics:

Hi Matthew, since you follow me, I know you'll see this.

I have a few questions about the thread quoted below where you claim "the anti-CRT propaganda machine" attacked city Grove college over a 6 minute video.

This appears to be, how shall we say, not the whole story...
The Parent of mixed race student was upset that the Dean, Justin Rose, apparantly spent the RA training time talking about white guilt and, says thebstudent, his wife admitted she was a racist and said others should do the same...
Another parent says there is a "Diversity Council" pushing the book "Reading While Black."

While a third parent is concerned about making Irbam Kendi's book "How To Be Anti-Racist," central to an education class.

My problem Matthew, is that you didn't tell the whole story...

🚨🚨🚨ATTENTION!!!!🚨🚨🚨

WE NEED TO PUSH BACK ON THIS RIGHT NOW.

If this pilot gets fired it further entrenches Cancel Culture and emboldens woke people to go after other people's jobs.

We need to let @AmericanAir know that punishing these pilots is unacceptable.
Further, we need to bring blowback against the woman who is trying to get the Pilots Fired.

It is not enough for the pilots to keep their job, this cancellation attempt needs to blow up in the face of the woman who tried it.

It needs to backfire so she doesn't do it again...
These people need to learn that this will cost them something. It can cost their reputation, goodwill, getting ratio'd. Anything (so long as we don't get them fired...we can't just cancel back cause that makes cancel culture worse) what matters is that it blows up in her face...

The cynicism of the postmodernism sees through everything, and thinks all values are the arbitrary privileging of one value set over another to benefit the dominant group in society.

Nothing is inherently valuable, and nothing really matters, things are only "privileged"

so...
Nothing ever gets to be lifted of as being objectively, universally, absolutely, "true, good and beautiful."

Nothing can ever become valuable enough to get escape velocity and get outside and above the cultural milieu. Nothing ever gets to "transcend" the culture. Everything...
that might be seen as objectively valuable gets deconstructed and torn down because anything that gets valuable enough to transcend the culture will become a powerful symbol and end up being "privileged" in a way that inscribes, or re-inscribes, unequal power relations...
