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
2/
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...
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"

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.

This is, again, the countercultural idea at the heart of the critique of mass society.

This version claims the "Christofascist conservative" vision requires repressive conformity, and thus creativity can only be found by those who rebel against the culture of Christofascism.
Since the 60's the political left has thought that there is a "mass society" that depends upon homogeneity and conformity in order to reproduce itself, and that the system brainwashes the masses so that they accept the repressive conformity the system demands.
Having accepted this view, the leftist countercultrual rebel concludes that great art is a product of rejecting the conformity that the system demands, and thus believes that great art can only be produced by those who rebel against the system.

This is, of course, wrong.

As Trump abolishes DEI departments, de-funds woke NGO's and non-profits, and removes woke activists from government, a large group of well trained political and social activists will watch their industry be destroyed, leaving them unemployed with no plausible career path...
2/
Activists, administrators, bureaucrats, and other credentialed members of the professional/institutional social justice left will be left without a job, and a resume that's only suitable for finding work in the very Social-Justice government-NGO complex Trump is shutting down
3/
This means the best trained and most politically extreme leftist organizers are going to be left broke, angry, and unemployed. They will have nothing better to do then street level activism where they can agitate and organize for their social and political revolution full-time

The left is demoralized and exhausted, but they are not going away and will try to maintain their hold on cultural, education, and government institutions.

This is what happened in the 80's. Reagan won, but the left took over universities, schools, and cultural institutions.
2/
The fact that the right had won a significant political victory only made the left more desperate to take over the social institutions that make up our society.

So they went about taking over our colleges, universities, public schools, accreditation boards, and so fourth.
3/
The result was that even while it looked like the right was winning, the left was putting themselves in a position to control all of societies knowledge production and legitimizing institutions.

They made themselves the gate-keepers of respectable opinion.

The left owned our cultural institutions (Journalism, televsion, advertising, Universities, entertainment, social media, medicine, publishing, non-profits/NGO's, education, government) and used them to flood the culture with anti-trump messaging for a decade.

Trump still won.🧵
They spent a decade using a vertically integrated messaging apparatus to run anti-Trump messaging in every inch of the culture, 24/7, for a decade, while censoring, deboosting, suppressing anyone who pushed back against their extreme leftist ideas.

Trump still won.
The left had complete control of the institutions of:
1. cultural production (movies, music, books, magazines, art,)
2. knowledge production (universities, public schools, academic journals, scientific journals, accreditation bodies, colleges of education)

Trump still won.

In 2012 a weird form of identity politics mixed with "social justice" emerged from academia and used social media to take over of journalism, the Arts and culture industry, NGO's, Non-profits, news media, and the government; and used that power to censor the rest of society....
Then, for the next decade, anybody who thought men and women are different, believed kids can't pick their gender, or judged people by character rather than race, was driven out of our societies institutions by mobs of online social activists screaming social justice slogans.
A group of social activists, moral entrepreneurs, and grifters, used their dominance of our social institutions and their influence online to create what amounts to a social and economic death star that they aimed at the reputation and social standing of anyone who opposed them.

Christianity began to recede because the plausibility of its claims had been degraded on multiple fronts by attacks from both postmodernism and secular humanism.

Part of what @jordanbpeterson has done is restore the plausibility of the Christian understanding of the world.
@PaulVanderKlay has been saying that @jordanbpeterson has been excising the spirit of secular materialism from the culture.

I agree with that, but what interests me is the way Peterson has done this. It isn't by providing a point by point refutation of Dawkins style atheism...
@PaulVanderKlay @jordanbpeterson Rather, what he has been doing is a revivification of Christianity by rehabilitating the underlying the worldview and understanding of the way he world works. You can see this quite clearly in his recent conversation with Andrew Huberman (@hubermanlab)....
