So, @donwinslow tried to get @joerogan cancelled for saying the N-word.

It turns out that in his books Don winslow has used the n-word a lot... and I mean a **LOT**

So here is a **VERY** long thread of times Don Winslow has used the N-word in his books.

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)....
