3/ Basically, someone edited together a video of @joerogan saying the N-word in his podcast.
The account that did this is acting in bad faith. We know this both because they edited out the context, and because that account supports Joe Biden, who also said the N-word on camera:
4/ In that video, Joe Biden is quoting someone else for a senate hearing, which is why he said it.
Context matters.
The fact that the context of the Rogan video is edited out is all the proof we need that this video was created, and circulated, in bad faith.
Now...tactics...
5/ The woke use a very simple, yet powerful, set of socail pressure tactics to get their way. They are done by different people, in different arenas (business, politics, media, etc) but they always use those tactics with the same goal:
Advancing wokeness and *silencing dissent*
6/ This is how it works
It all starts with "Power Mapping."
In their words: "Power Mapping is a tool to not only identify who holds that power, but, crucially, who holds influence over that person, and, therefore, who to target with your direct actions"
7/ Power mapping lets wokies determine who has the power to give them what they want, and how they can be vulnerable to pressure. Remember, wokies want to take power, to do that they need to know WHO to take it from and how. This is how wokies "survey the battlefield"
8/ They want to figure out how to attack, so they map the power dynamics: who has the power to do what and the weakness of each relevant person or institution.
Sometimes the target has no direct weaknesses, so you have to go after them by some other means. This brings us too...
9/ "Choose Your Target Wisely"
In their words: "You might not have enough power to push your primary target at first, but your actions may help you identify a secondary target...that can be pressured to leverage their influence on the primary target."
10/ If done correctly, wokies can determine smaller more vulnerable targets that can be pressured and leveraged to go after progressively larger targets. Like a domino effect where we knock over ever larger dominoes. (Pic 1)
How it is being used here is illustrated in pic 2:
11/ Once they pick a target they analyze the "spectrum of allies" and separate everyone into 5 groups: active allies -who fight with them passive allies -who agree but don't act neutrals, passive opposition- who disagree but don't act active opposition - who actively fight them
12/ The goal of the woke is to determine the social blocs at play on a given issue, and shift them closer to the woke position. If they can shift each group over one notch the the entire political spectrum moves, and they can shift their targets support out from under them.
13/ You see, if people mildly opposed to wokeness shut up and people who are in the middle pretend to like wokeness (to avoid cancellation) it *LOOKS* like the woke have majority support.
They threaten cancellation to shut people up and move each group one notch to the left...
14/ See how this works? They find the target, find out who has power over that target, and figure out what they can do to pressure that target.
Once they do that, they apply pressure as they see fit to shift the whole situation to their position.
That's what happened here
15/ They wanted to Cancel Joe Rogan because he has more power then the woke do.
So they tried to use Alex Jones and "Vaccine Misinformation" to cancel him. When that didn't work, they used an out of context video to call him racist, and tossed it at @TheRock in order to get...
16/ @TheRock to throw Rogan under the bus. The woke knew that the Rock doesn't want to be associated with racism in any way, and if they could make Rogan look racist the Rock would have to drop Rogan to save his own "Rock" brand.
What the Rock is doing is understandable....
17/ He has many employees depending on him so he can't afford to have his brand destroyed.
My point is that the woke know this, and they use this to their advantage. That's why Don Winslow did what he did: he wanted to force a response from The Rock.
And it worked.
18/ The woke are a well oiled machine of protest, mobbing, intimidation and social pressure. Until we realize that and begin organizing to fight back we will always be on our back foot.
Rogan needs our support, and @Spotify needs to know if they cancel him it will cost them...
19/ Nothing the woke do is authentic, organic, or spontaneous. It's all cynical, pre-planned powergames dressed up as an organic movement.
Every time they get a cancellation their power grows.
Everytime a cancel attempt fails their power decreases.
That's how this works...
20/
So take a stand now and start making these woke activists take some L's before it's too late.

2/ on racist resentment against white people and racialist identity politics, complete with the racist stereotyping.
This shows a continuity of thinking over a period of a decade, and there has been no take back, or explanation for the disgustingly racist tweets she made.
3/ Chris said he didn't care if she was fired, the point was to use her posts to force the New Yorker to choose between equal enforcement of bans on hiring racists who make racist content, or to be explicit that racism against Jews and whites is allowed...
The game being played by the "sex is a spectrum" people is to engage in a sleight of hand between the ontological question (what makes this thing what it is), epistemological question (how do we know this thing when we see it), and linguistic question (how do we define the word)
The tactic is to attack the definition by blurring the lines between the primary features that make the object what it is and define its function and the secondary features we use as proxy's for identifying the object when we encounter it "in the wild".
For example, the primary features of a pencil are the fact that it has a graphite tip that can be used to write erasable and that it is sized correctly for handwriting.
The secondary features are that it is yellow (on the shaft) and pink (on the eraser)
1/ Leftist activism uses exactly this dynamic as a strategy. The goal is to create hot-takes that generate enormous outrage (IE: Syndey Sweeney ads are fascist) which bait people into reacting by writing response pieces or by dunking on it
2/ By using the negative engagement and dunking as free advertising, the leftists is able to provoke more outrage.
They repeat this process until people have outrage fatigue, and the hot take no longer provokes strong reactions, and stating the hot-take no longer causes outrage.
3/ Once the hot-take no longer causes outrage, leftists repeat it until people are sick of it and it becomes background noise. At this point the hot-take becomes banal, and people begrudgingly accept that the hot take is now just another part of the landscape of public opinion
If you hang around leftist circles enough you'll hear the "nazi bar" parable, and this explains how they think about everything.
They don't see themselves as part of being a social movement based on highly controversial and hotly disputed ideas...
...Leftists think their moral values, and social views are just uncontroversial expressions of what is morally right, and leftism is just what you get when everyone is "being kind" and "being a good person."
In their heads, they are the regular crowd at the bar.
They see leftism as the natural, normal, and healthy state of affairs that occurs when everyone is "being kind," they don't realize that leftism is a worldview and political ideology that is hotly contested, and that's built on a set of social values that are highly controversial
The claim that it is an undue burder to ask women to put any effort at all into their relationships with men is a load bearing pillar of woke feminism.
This paper claims that asking women to interpret what men say is a form of "hermeneutic labor" which harms women.
The paper argues that hermeneutic labor is the emotionally taxing requirement that women should interpreting what men say and how they feel. It also argues that women act as men's therapists by telling men how they feel, and that women do all the relationship maintenance.
The premise of the paper is that women do all the work of interpreting how both people in the relationship feel, and then expressing that so they can both understand. The author basically says that women have been acting as mens' therapists for centuries.
