On this account I unpack and explain how wokeness and cancel culturs work. I explain the jargon they use (IE: deconstruction, systemic racism, unconscious bias, gender binary, etc) and their ideology.
I also expose hypocrisy of woke people...
2/ I explain how wokeness got started, how it operates, the tactics of ghe woke left and their activists. I explain how they use social pressure tactics to take over buisnesses, colleges, universities, k-12, governments and other institutions.
I also explain how to fight back.
3/ I explain the academic underpinnings of wokeness, it's roots in Critical Theory (a neo-marxist way of analyzing society) and it's roots in postmodernism (a philosophy that challenges the objective nature of logic and reason, and challenges the possibility of objective truth)
4/ I'll show you how seemingly contradictory academic ideas were harnassed by leftist academics to create the woke ideology that says everything is racist, men can become women, and you should be cancelled and lose your job if you don't agree.
The threads can be long, however...
5/ This is needed to make things clear so everyone understands the ideas. I always cite academic sources, and anyone can read them and check to see if I am correct. I don't take the woke out of context or smear them. I explain them on their own terms, with their own sources...
6/ The woke don't like this (if most people knew what the woke really think and how crazy it is, they'd reject wokeness entirely) and so they try to nitpick at details, and pretend they don't really think this stuff. Rest assured, I'll cite their own words so there is no mistake.
7/ I am also an ethnic Jew (Jew by birth) who converted to Christianity.
Because I'm Jewish I have zero patience for anti-semitism. Because I'm a Christian from time to time I expose wokeness in the Church (wokeness tries to take over everything, including religion)...
8/ So I write about that as well.
Please comment *AT THE END OF THE THREAD* with any questions about wokeness you might have, and I'll begin setting uo a list of threads to write to explain it.
Finally, here are some people you should follow...
1/ If you want to understand influencer behavior, read Former WWE executive Eric Bischoffs' book "Controversy Creates Cash" about the inner workings of pro wrestling.
He said controversial things, regardless of morality, generates attention, creates buzz, and sells tickets.
2/ The title of the book comes from a chapter where he discussed bringing in Dennis Rodman for an event because Rodman was controversial and "controversy creates cash." Much of what is happening online, including the Charlie Kirk conspiracies, is driven by exactly this dynamic.
3/ While there is certainly more to it (parasocial relationships with influencers, foreign influencers, etc) one of the major factors that incentivizes outlandish claims and conspiracy theorizing is that the controversy generates attention, creates buzz, and drives engagement.
1/ There's a genre of woke-posting where they state their views as if they were talking to toddlers as a way of making their views look obvious (even kids get it!), grabbing moral authority (I'm the teacher!), and leveraging condescension to imply their opponents are beneath them
2/ These women are not actually trying to explain anything, the explanation is just a front for their condescending tone. The real goal is to "put you in your place" by treating you like a toddler so they can grab the social high-ground in the conversation
3/ The reason they do this is because by adopting the posture of a kindergarten teach it forces you fight through layers of snark, sarcasm, and condescending tone while being put in the social position of a child talking to a teacher.
Making the Friend/Enemy distinction the fundamental axis of politics is to reject the Aristotelian claim at the heart of western civilization that says politics is about human flourishing and pursuing the good, and to replace it with the political ideology of 3rd world tribalism.
If you want The West to turn into Somalia, tell people that the fundamental distinction all political motives and actions revolve around is "who is on my team and who isn't," and the goal is to reward your friends while harming enemies.
Cause that's how Somalia works
There are a whole lot of people running around acting like "friend/enemy" is some kind of deep idea, or profound simplification of politics, when in fact it's little more than the rejection of the grand political tradition of western civilization in favor do 3rd world tribalism.
2/ They don't do land acknowledgements and such in order to make my son feel unwelcome, they are just applying the things they were taught in college about "reconciliation." For the most part, these teachers mean well and are really trying their best, but because of the skew...
3/ of the teacher toward being both progressive and toward being women, the result is a very feminine coded social justice oriented environment across the education system. The result is that the environment is terrific for little girls, but can be difficult for little boys...
People coming from third world nations to advanced western nations bring their ideas about of how society works with them.
So they don't see electoral politics as a tool for ensuring proper governance, they see it as a way to get goodies for their clan and win tribal conflicts
This isn't because those people are evil, stupid—it's because in third world nations the primary use of politics really is for winners to give goodies to their friends and settle scores with their enemies.
The competent management of infrastructure and services is secondary.
So, rather then ask "how can I govern in a way that is best for the health of the nation as a whole, and whst is the best way to ensure competent management of the advanced systems that make society work?" The third worlder asks "how can I reward my friends and harm my enemies?"
Mamdani's win today had absolutely nothing to do with anything happening on X, nor did it have anything to do with Nick Fuentes, Groypers, or intra-right squabbles.
The Mamdani cake was baked weeks ago, this win, and margin of victory, were predicted by polling for weeks...
Mamdani won because he was able to appeal to the professional creative class demographic of NYC. The fact that Mamdani only won 50% of Muslims, but 70% of non-religious people tells you who his base was: downwardly mobile educated creative class professionals....
Nothing on X, and I mean nothing, played any role in his getting elected.
Cuomo and Adams both staying in the race despite their unpopularity didn't help (a centrist without either of their baggage might have pulled out a win) but anyone telling out that this was about...
