A part of this stream was about a thread I wrote.

I'm going to correct some of the things the guys from @MeidasTouch said.

1. They claim "there is no face to this account." That is false. My face is on by Twitter Banner, and I have appeared on @michaeljknowles show...
2/
While I do use a pseudonym, I'm not hiding.

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... Image
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."

That's false. I'd love to chat with @stoolpresidente
13/
I stand by what I wrote.

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.

Afew thoughts on this

The article Doreen St Felix wrote for the New Yorker was as racist as the tweet @realchrisrufo dug up; it was just more subtle.

Had she repudiated those old views it would be a different story, but that New Yorker article was doubling down...
2/
on racist resentment against white people and racialist identity politics, complete with the racist stereotyping.

This shows a continuity of thinking over a period of a decade, and there has been no take back, or explanation for the disgustingly racist tweets she made.
3/
Chris said he didn't care if she was fired, the point was to use her posts to force the New Yorker to choose between equal enforcement of bans on hiring racists who make racist content, or to be explicit that racism against Jews and whites is allowed...

The left gets away with violence because it has the capacity to memory hole and cover up all it's violent behavior.

For example, from 1971-1972 leftists carried out 5 bombings per day, every day. By the end they carried out more than 3000 bombings.

And nobody remembers... Image
Image
Image
Image
And many people who did that would be welcomed into mainstream leftists politics.

IE: Susan Rosenberg helped a communist group bomb the Capitol building in 1983-for which she was convicted.

She went on to sit on the board of the parent organization for Black Lives Matter. Image
Example 2:
Rasmea Odeh was a convicted terrorist who admitted bombing an Israeli supermarket back in 1969, killing 2 civilians (see pic 2).

She helped found "the women's march," and co-wrote a manifesto that got published in national outlets to great applause. (pic 3)

so.... Image

The game being played by the "sex is a spectrum" people is to engage in a sleight of hand between the ontological question (what makes this thing what it is), epistemological question (how do we know this thing when we see it), and linguistic question (how do we define the word)
The tactic is to attack the definition by blurring the lines between the primary features that make the object what it is and define its function and the secondary features we use as proxy's for identifying the object when we encounter it "in the wild".
For example, the primary features of a pencil are the fact that it has a graphite tip that can be used to write erasable and that it is sized correctly for handwriting.
The secondary features are that it is yellow (on the shaft) and pink (on the eraser) Image

Leftist activism uses exactly this dynamic as a strategy. The goal is to create hot-takes that generate enormous outrage (IE: Syndey Sweeney ads are fascist) which bait people into reacting by writing response pieces or by dunking on it

This spreads the hot-take everywhere...
2/
By using the negative engagement and dunking as free advertising, the leftists is able to provoke more outrage.

They repeat this process until people have outrage fatigue, and the hot take no longer provokes strong reactions, and stating the hot-take no longer causes outrage.
3/
Once the hot-take no longer causes outrage, leftists repeat it until people are sick of it and it becomes background noise. At this point the hot-take becomes banal, and people begrudgingly accept that the hot take is now just another part of the landscape of public opinion

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... Image
...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. Image
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. Image
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. Image
