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!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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.

Woke activists bully people by using social pressure. They publicly shame and attack people to make them feel like all of society is rejecting them.

See the photo below? They want people feel like all of society is doing that to them.

So, Call-outs

A Thread🧵 Image
2/
Call-Outs and Cancel Culture are related but different. Cancel culture tries to get people fired or de-platformed as a way to punish them economically and professionally in order to silence them.

It uses economic and professional punishment to make people fall in line.
3/
Call-outs operate using a very different set of mechanisms: social pressure, the sense of hyper-visibility we feel when we are publicly humiliated, and fear of social rejection.

Call-out leverage these Social Mechanisms in order to apply pressure and make people fall in line.

The woke left thinks what is true depends who says it and which side they are on. Only claims made by "COUNTER-HEGEMONIC" people are believed

The woke right thinks what is true depends on who says it and which side they are on. Only claims made by "DISSIDENT" people are believed
People keep saying the right can't be woke because wokeness denies objective reality, and the right doesn't deny science and biology the way the left does.

That's wrong.

Once the right adopts the belief that truth is matter of who says it and which side they are on....
then it is only a matter of time until they begin denying scientific and biological truths because they are being made by people with the wrong politics.

You can actually see this dynamic in the Glen Greenwald discourse that has shown up over the last several days...

Leftists took over the culture so they could own and control the production and interpretation of *meaning*

They wanted to control culture in order to control meaning, and they wanted to control meaning in order to control thought...and that's the real goal: thought control.
2/
The idea is a pretty simple one, people interpret the world using the concepts, ideas, and frameworks of their culture, so whoever owns the apparatus which produces a societies culture decides which ideas, concepts and frameworks people use to understand the world.
3/
The left thought the reason people supported capitalism and hated communism and socialism was because evil capitalists controlled the culture, and used that control to embed capitalist ideology and ruling class values in the culture where they would be absorbed by the masses
