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.

Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.

They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in.
They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.
They think they have transcended the cultural programming and are now able to influence the culture, to move culture forward because they are critically aware (or have critical consciousness) which lets them see the development of culture and the source code of social reality.

This quote from Chase Strangio (ACLU's transgender lawyer) is a nice example of how the woke left fully adopted the views of the 60's counterculture.
They really believe things like "being trans" are a threat to "the system," and cultural rebellion will lead to revolution. Image
2/
The woke left and the 1960's counterculture had the same underlying worldview that said the entire culture is a system of ideology that maintains power by brainwashing the masses and socially conditioning people to accept the legitimacy of "the system" and their place in it.
3/
For this reason they think things like reforming institutions and changing laws are trivial and superficial solutions because they accept the legitimacy of the institutions and rules created by "the system"

For this reason, a much deeper solution is needed...

There is no split on the right.

Almost all of the MAGA base is with Trump and they support Israel over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Mullah's.

The Israel obsessed crowd and their anti-Semitic fellow travelers are a tiny minority and their influence is a mirage.
2/
MAGA is 77 million Trump voters, almost none of them care about the ideas of the dissident right (alt-right, woke-right,) online influencers. Trumps base is not turning on him and siding with Iranian Islamic terrorists just so online influencers can own the Israeli's...
3/
Trump has his own ideas, and makes his own decisions.

The influencers, thinkers, and writers who think they get to set the agenda and use Trump as a vessel to accomplish their own agenda have no ideas what's going on. So let me help everyone out:

Trump Decides.

That's it.

The riots happening in LA are not organic or spontaneous.

They're designed to look chaotic to cover up the fact that they're well funded, exceptionally organized, and carried out by well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.

Here's a primer: Image
Image
Image
Image
2/
First, notice the protestors have shields (pic 1)

These types of shields were used by the 2024 pro-Hamas rioters (pic 2), and 2020 BLM rioters (pic 3)

Each shield takes 3 hours to make, and activists spend all day making them (pic 4) That's not spontaneous, it takes planning Image
Image
Image
Image
3/
Those shields are not cardboard signs. They are designed to *look* like cardboard signs.

They're in fact made of plywood and have metal handles (as seen in the pics below). They have a cardboard sign attached to the front to disguise the fact that they're made of wood. Image

In the Trump/Elon dispute Elon represents fiscal reality, Trump represents Political reality.

Elon knows the Unite States is headed toward financial collapse caused by its debt, Trump knows voters will never accept the spending cuts and tax hikes needed to solve the debt crisis.
Elon is correct that the United States 36 TRILLION dollar debt will eventually crush the American economy and eat it's budget.

Trump is correct that voters will never accept the tax hikes or spending cuts (especially social security and medicare cuts) needed to pay off the debt.
Elon is saying "The financial crisis is coming. Either we deal with it now or we will deal with the financial collapse of the American economy."

Trump is saying "We can only do what is politically possible. Voters refuse to elect congressmen who will make large cuts to spending"

I think society is returning to the desert of the real.

The social narratives which animated people's lives have lost their power and are dying, and the counter-movements they spawned will (eventually) die alongside them.

We are now living in a decaying hyper-reality...
Baudrillard said we're so saturated in representations and images from mass media (T.V., Movies, books, social media, etc) that images become more salient to us and matter more then the real world, so artificial representations become more "real" to us then actual reality itself.
The result, says Baudrillard is that what feel real to us, what feel immediately important, salient, and meaningful to us is whatever emerges from the ecosystem of artificial, curated, simulated, and manufactured representations produced by the vehicles of mass communication.
