2. At 12:42 of the stream Ben from Meidastouch claims I said they got Neil Young and others to boycott spotify.
I never said that.
They're trying to make me look like a conspiracy theorist by attributing claims to me I never made
3/ At no point did I say they had anything to do with Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, or any other famous artist.
3. At the 30:00They claim they had nothing to do with the @patriottakes video of Joe Rogan Saying the N-word.
This is a dodge, but I'll need to explain exactly how...
4/ @MeidasTouch did not create the video, that's not the point. In my thread I said that they "had a hand in it." What I mean there is the hand Meidastouch had in that video by spreading, amplifying, and boosting the signal of that video. It wasn't just retweets. I'll show you...
5/ This is the twitter feed of Ben Meiselas (@meiselasb) of Meidastouch.
His whole feed is just tweet and RT's of Joe Rogan clips that make Rogan look bad. Ben has 162k followers. He is not just RTing for agreement...he is reaching for "saturation."
What's "Saturation" you ask?
6/ Saturation is when you make sure a message (usually an ad, but it can be any messaging) has been repeated enough times in enough places that everybody hears it.
Running an ad once won't work not enough people see it. So, you need to run it many times.
That's what Ben did...
7/ He is tweeting and RTing ugly Rogan clips over and over and over because he knows people are on twitter at different times (and the algorithm can be unpredictable) and he wants to achieve saturation and make sure everyone who might see his tweets will see an ugly Rogan clip...
8/ Thebfeeds of Jordy and Brett, and also the @MeidasTouch account are filled with tweets and RT's of ugly Rogan clips.
All 3 of meidastouch owners have more than 140k followers and the meidas touch account has more than 700k
Thats more than a Million people.
Get the point?
9/ The Meidastouch crew did not create the video, but they worked with @patriottakes to amplify and boost the signal of the video so it would get traction and go viral.
They were manufacturing virality, and they knew precisely what they were doing because they are professionals.
10/ 4. At 33:08 Ben says Meidastouch never called for Rogan to be terminated.
This is nonsense.
What they did is amplify a tweet from @patriottakes that demanded Spotify terminate Joe Rogan. and they followed that tweet up with a fundraising plea for @patriottakes...
11/ So yes, they were calling for Rogan to be fired.
And just to be clear, an RT may not be an endorsement, but if you QT a demand for Rogan to be fired and in that QT congratulate the people making the demand, and then fund-raise off that work...then yes that is an endorsement.
12/ 5. At 35:30 Ben from Meidastouch says I claimed he was part of a cabal.
I never claimed this.
6. At 37:30 Jordy from Meidastouch said @stoolpresidente "can't have a conversation with Wokal like you're having with us."
The current heat on Joe Rogan is a result of a well organized social media campaign carried out by professionals and the resulting outrage is about as organic as a gummy bear, and we need to stop pretending otherwise.

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.
