Hello new followers. Welcome!

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...
10/
And there are others (If I missed you I am sorry!!!!)

Ok, so now let me know in the replies to this tweet what you would like me to explain about wokeness!

Let's goooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the left is about to have a civil war.

Left leaning institutions (universities, think tanks, NGO's, non-profits, consulting firms, and the democratic party) are staffed by woke activists who see woke political goals as moral imperatives, not mere political preferences
2/
According to woke ideology, anyone who in not actively advocating for woke social and political objectives is "complicit" in the systemic oppression of marginalized groups. On this view, a political compromise with people who oppose wokeness is like cutting a deal with Hitler.
3/
The woke have a concept called the "unbearable searchlight of complicity." It's their term for constant, unending, hypervigilant searching for anything complicit with "systems of oppression" (racism, sexism, etc)

It's the conceptual equivalent of an all seeing eye of wokeness

Congress gave The National Endowment for the Arts *207,000,000*, and then told the NEA to fund projects focused on "the history of Systemic Racism"

Let's look at what the NEA did with your money.

A thread🧵 Image

2/
Congress has the power to fund agencies and tell them how to spend their funding, and Congress told the NEA to "Continue prioritizing diversity" and to prioritize increasing diversity among "NEA staff, the National Council of the Arts, Discipline Directors, and Peer Panelists" Image
3/
In 2021 the NEA said they were "centering equity and justice along the lines of race, ethnicity, gender, disability, religion, gender identity and sexual orientation, geography, poverty, and the infinite ways these intersect in everything we do"

So this isn't something new.Image

Much of what @GreeneMan6 said in our debate caught me off guard. If I looked unprepared it's cause I was.

For Example, I wasn't ready for claims like:
"The people will have the opinion that the state teaches them, we are talking about how the State will create public opinion"
2/
In the moment, I wasn't prepared for that, but I think I have an answer to that now.

I do no think that State has the ability to reach into the heads of people and re-arrange their thinking. The sort of brainwashing that is implied by his claim simply won't work at scale.
3/
The claim that he has is that the widespread practice of transing kids is due to everyone believing in trans cause of schools is deeply flawed. It was not that most people agree with trans ideology and in fact, trans ideology and queer theory are intensely unpopular...

DEI has taken over The Department of Veteran Affairs.

The VA is using Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for "hiring and position and talent management," and also created a "Gender-affirming Program with Speech" to help people change sex.

How DEI captured the VA,

A thread🧵 Image
2/
In September 2021 the Department of Veterans Affairs created an Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Action plan Pursuant to E.O. 13985 on racial equity.

This action plan is the Genesis for the adoption of DEI across the entirety of the VA. Image
Image
3/
According to the Action Plan, the VA created "an 18-member Task Force to elevate and identify strategic opportunities across VA’s vast ecosystem of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (I-DEA)."

The VA had *18 people* dedicated to creating a plan to DEI implementation. Image

Last May I said when woke dies the left will pivot to old school materialist politics (IE: Class warfare, Union Politics, economics)

You can see in leftist CEO murder discourse; it's all about income inequality, poverty, access to resources

They're pivoting to class warfare
2/
As "woke" dies, Leftists will abandon the woke "oppressor/oppressed" categories (white vs black, straight vs gay, queer vs normal) and will move back to the old materialist oppressor/oppressed categories (rich vs poor, capitalist vs worker, proletariat vs bourgeois, etc).
3/
This materialist focus will be paired with "sustainability politics" revolving around environmental issues (pollution, climate change, global warming, etc).
So, we will see two "mass line" formations emerging: one focused on class warfare, and one focused on "sustainability.

Here's a story about the role of tradition:

From 1940-1960 the British tried to teach peasants in Malawi's Shire Valley to farm. When the British taught peasants to use "ridging" to combat soil erosion, they were surprised to find Malawian Farmers saying ridging doesn't work.
2/
But there is a twist...

Because the soil in Malawi's Shire Valley is sandy, the use of Ridging leads to increased soil erosion during the rainy season, while exposing the roots of plants to white ant attacks during the dry season.

In Malawi - ridging doesn't work...
3/
The Malawian Farmers were not able to provide an articulate, clear, rational explanation for they avoided using "ridging"...only that it didn't work and that they had traditional practices that did work.

The British were wrong because they made exactly the following mistake:
