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.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
1/ The Department of Homeland has an advisor who's trying to get college funding for illegal immigrants.
As you know from yesterday's thread, the DHS has an Security Academic Partnership Council" that makes recommendations to the Secretary of the DHS regarding education...
2/ Mirriam Feldblum, who sits on the Secirity Academic Partnership Council at DHS (pic 1) is on the record in trying to get in-state tuition for illegal immigrants (pics 2+3)
3/ Miriam Feldblum goes on to further argue that funding that was made legal for DACA immigrants (those people who were brought by their parents as Children) is to be extended to all illegal immigrants.
1/ How did the woke become convinced that
-socialism is better than capitalism
-men can become women
-Hamas is the good guys
-5 year olds can change their gender?
It's because the Critical Theory wokeness is based on gets almost everything wrong
Lets talk about that
A Thread🧵
2/ According to postmodern variants of Critical Theory the bone of contention in every debate or argument is always power. In this view at the bottom of every argument is a set of political considerations and interests and those are the things that are actually at issue.
3/ If the arguments had no political consequences no one would bother to participate in the argument. It is only the fact that the acceptance of one view over another has political consequences that makes the argument worth having; if there were no consequences no one would care.
1/ This U.S. government report is the most insane thing I've ever seen. It calls for:
-Men in women's prisons
-letting boys use girls washrooms in k-12
-cross-sex hormone access for foster kids
-lawsuits to help minors get hormones and surgery
It's way worse than you think /🧵
2/ In the section on School and education on the chief concerns is making sure people "use the bathroom that aligns with their gender identity."
In practice this means letting boys who identify as girls use the girls bathroom even if they have fully biology.
3/ The report says transgender inmates should be allowed to access facilities that align with their gender identity.
In practice this will mean fully functioning biological males who *identify* as female will have a right to be housed in women's prisons.
I think Critical Theory is a lot like what Robert Nozick called Normative Sociology: "The study of what the causes of things *ought* to be"
Critical Theorists analyze problems in terms of what they *want* the cause to be, rather then what the cause of that problem actually is.
The result is that there are large number of errors because rather then dealing with the thing that is actually creating the problem, they end of trying to solve the problem by analyzing the thing that they were hoping was the cause of the problem.
A problem occurs when Critical Theorists doing "Normative Sociology" think everyone is obligated to agree that the cause of the problem is whatever the Critical Theorists say it is; and then go about morally shaming and scolding anyone who disagrees about the cause of the problem
1/ The attack on Winston Churchill and the revisionist WWII history is a the right wing version of the "everything is problematic" move the woke have been using for years.
It's a right wing 1619 project that wants to destroy the "Post-war consensus" by making America look bad.
2/ This is a right-wing "Critical Theory" of America's involvement in WWII.
The goal is to delegitimize the American order that emerged in the wake of WWII, and so the people doing this magnify America's mistakes during WWII and minimize the horror of what the Nazi's did.
3/ Doing this allows them sow doubt as to who was really responsible for WWII and this then allows them to go about undercutting and subverting the moral authority that America gained by helping to defeat the Nazi's.
They want to drain the moral authority of post-war America.
1/ Darryl Cooper is to WWII what Norman Finklestein is to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Cooper buries people in historical minutia knowing the average person isn't equipped with a deep enough understanding of WWII to properly contextualize the historical points Cooper uses.
2/ The average persons understanding of WWII does not have a high enough resolution to historically locate and properly contextualize the points Cooper brings up, so they aren't properly equipped to determine the relevance, importance, or implications of the facts Cooper presents
3/ When someone can't integrate a set of facts into their understanding of something, they can become intellectually disoriented and begin looking for a way to make sense of the new facts.
This disorientation is what Cooper is trying to create with his deluge of minutia.
