Once again the woke attempting to cancel @joerogan

First they tried to cancel him over Alex Jones. Then they tried to cancel him for "vaccine misinformation."

Since their first two attempts failed they are now pulling out their biggest weapon: racism.

Let's talk about it 🧵 ImageImage

Here is a link to Joe Rogan responding to the various allegations.

You can have a look at that for context.

Then we will discuss the tactics in play here.

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...

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"

beautifultrouble.org/toolbox/tool/p…
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."

beautifultrouble.org/toolbox/tool/c…
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: ImageImage
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 Image
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. Image
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.

As I've said for years:

1. There is no such legal category as "hate speech"
2. You don't defeat ideas by banning them
3. Adopting a leftist frame ("hate speech" is leftist framing) is always a losing proposition.
The idea of "hate speech" was given academic backing by a group of Critical Race Theroists in the book "words that wound."

There is no way of picking up that term without legitimizing all of the leftist intellectual machinery that comes with it.

The entire literature on hate speech was created by leftists, and is embedded with leftist assumptions. There is no way to appropriate that body of work without rehabilitating and legitimizing leftist arguments against free speech and in favor of censorship.

The reason the trans-movement is so nihilistic, violent, and unhinged is because it is postmodern, and the postmodern intellectual solvent it uses to dissolve the distinction between male and female also dissolves the distinction between good and evil.
The postmodern ideology of the transgender activists believes all values of any kind (moral, social, scientific, and epistemic) are just social constructs that have been constructed in alignment with the interests of the dominant ideology or ruling class.

so...
On this view the legitimacy of a given set of values is not a matter of fact, it depends on the interests of the people evaluating those values. As such the values of a society are a determined by which group has the power to embed it's interests in the social value structure...

Repeat after me:

People who celebrate the murder of their political opponents are not participating in the marketplace of ideas, they are encouraging deadly political violence by building a permission structure to legitimize and justify the murder of those they disagree with.
My freedom of speech means I get to clearly and succintly explain to the whole world that if you call for the assassination of your rivals this is not free speech, it is a direct incitement to political violence.
John Stewart Mill gave a famous example where he said that if someone claims corn dealers are starvering the poor this can be allowed if circulated through the press, but is not allowed when shouted in front of an excited mob assembled outside the house of a corn dealer....

The Radical Left has used political violence to advance their cause for decades. What's new is the progressive left's professional class building a permission structure to justify the use of political violence

It's called Assassination Culture, and we need to talk about it
🧵
2/
To understand what's happening, you need to understand that the line between progressive-left professional class and radical left has been blurred. The extremist radical left and the socially progressive "bluesky left" are increasingly intertwined both socially and politically
3/
This is because many of the extremist radical from the 60's and 70' who advocated for, and participated in, the use of political violence have been welcomed into the mainstream institutions that are run by the progressive left professional class.

Let's look at examples:

Look at the number of pro-athletes posting condolences about Charlie Kirk, and you'll see what a huge cultural figure he was.

He wasn't just famous in conservative circles, his clips debating college students were a loadbearing pillar of online political pop-culture
His willingness to calmly and politely debate all comers on any issue (at the very moment when cancel culture was strongest and people were afraid to say what they think) made him a sort of lovable internet folkhero.

He was an indelible piece of the online landscape.
Charlie was not quarantined to the "conservative ghetto" of online content; he broke contain and became a mainstream cultural figure.

Charlie became the cultural symbol of free debate, free speech, and settling differences in public with words

What he is describing here is the deconstruction of America as an ideal. The goal is to destroy America by subverting the conception of America as a force for good which sustains American confidence, and attacking the founding narrative from which America derives it's legitimacy.
They will try to redefine America in a way which subverts the legitimacy of America as a national project. They want to erase the current American narrative, and replace it with a new one which grants them the right to inherit America's wealth, power, prestige, and influence.
They will attack America the same way they attacked Universities: by undermining legitimacy, authority, and self-confidence by asserting that the whole project is just racism, colonialism, and oppression in disguise.

John Searle explains it here:
