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.

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.
1/ This "government teacher" doesn't know when America was founded, won't teach students the official curriculum, and teaches kids about activism, anti-racism, and Black Lives Matter.
Woke teachers took over K-12 education and the get funded by grants like these,
2/ The entire education system is full of activists, professors, and teachers who believe teaching is a political act, and Social Justice (AKA: woke ideology) should be the foundation of all learning and education.
Many of them are funded by the grants Murkowski wants to protect
3/ Let's take for example the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant Murkowski mentioned in her letter.
This grant funds a school Rann Miller teaches at. Miller wrote an article defending the use of Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project in education👇
1/ The U.S. Government Accountability Office was designed to be a non-partisan watchdog that Audits government for waste, fraud, and abuse.
However, the GAO has been captured by progressives who are using it to advance to advance their political ideology.
And I have receipts.🧵
2/ The job of the GAO is to hold government institutions accountable for the way they spend money and carry out their mission. That is, the GAO doesn't decide what policies get implemented, it makes sure the policies government passes get implemented, whatever those happen to be.
3/ In other words, the GAO is supposed to ensure that government institutions are actually using the funding they get from congress to implement the policies congress has actually passed, rather just implementing the policies that the bureaucrats themselves prefer.
1/ In March this guy farmed 11 million views and 20K RT's by saying an "RFK blackmail story is breaking from multiple angles," while vaguely insinuating the CIA and Pfizer were involved and regurgitating widely available information.
2/ His whole game is to take widely available information dug up by other people and use it as a pretext to suggest that various events are caused by powerful interests who "pull the strings," and then make vague and unfalsifiable insinuations regarding who the string pullers are
3/ This is how he posture as a brave truth teller whose doing his own research when all he's really doing is regurgitating readily available information read through a cynical and conspiratorial lens, while engaging in wild speculation about "whose really pulling the strings."
I don't think the left realizes the degree to which giving puberty blockers and sex-changes to kids who wanted to change genders was a test of moral and intellectual integrity, and that test utterly destroyed the moral and intellectual credibility of everyone who failed it.
The people who went along with gender ideology didn't just end up on the wrong side of public opinion, they demonstrated for the whole world that they had no intellectual integrity, moral fortitude, and no ability to stand up for the truth or think for themselves.
The people who went along with gender ideology showed that they have no intellectual or moral anchors of any kind, and that they will pretend to believe anything and go along with any ideology in order to preserve their social standing and the esteem of their colleagues.
