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!!!!!!!!!!!

Repeat after me:

People who celebrate the murder of their political opponents are not participating in the marketplace of ideas, they are encouraging deadly political violence by building a permission structure to legitimize and justify the murder of those they disagree with.
My freedom of speech means I get to clearly and succintly explain to the whole world that if you call for the assassination of your rivals this is not free speech, it is a direct incitement to political violence.
John Stewart Mill gave a famous example where he said that if someone claims corn dealers are starvering the poor this can be allowed if circulated through the press, but is not allowed when shouted in front of an excited mob assembled outside the house of a corn dealer....

The Radical Left has used political violence to advance their cause for decades. What's new is the progressive left's professional class building a permission structure to justify the use of political violence

It's called Assassination Culture, and we need to talk about it
🧵
2/
To understand what's happening, you need to understand that the line between progressive-left professional class and radical left has been blurred. The extremist radical left and the socially progressive "bluesky left" are increasingly intertwined both socially and politically
3/
This is because many of the extremist radical from the 60's and 70' who advocated for, and participated in, the use of political violence have been welcomed into the mainstream institutions that are run by the progressive left professional class.

Let's look at examples:

Look at the number of pro-athletes posting condolences about Charlie Kirk, and you'll see what a huge cultural figure he was.

He wasn't just famous in conservative circles, his clips debating college students were a loadbearing pillar of online political pop-culture
His willingness to calmly and politely debate all comers on any issue (at the very moment when cancel culture was strongest and people were afraid to say what they think) made him a sort of lovable internet folkhero.

He was an indelible piece of the online landscape.
Charlie was not quarantined to the "conservative ghetto" of online content; he broke contain and became a mainstream cultural figure.

Charlie became the cultural symbol of free debate, free speech, and settling differences in public with words

What he is describing here is the deconstruction of America as an ideal. The goal is to destroy America by subverting the conception of America as a force for good which sustains American confidence, and attacking the founding narrative from which America derives it's legitimacy.
They will try to redefine America in a way which subverts the legitimacy of America as a national project. They want to erase the current American narrative, and replace it with a new one which grants them the right to inherit America's wealth, power, prestige, and influence.
They will attack America the same way they attacked Universities: by undermining legitimacy, authority, and self-confidence by asserting that the whole project is just racism, colonialism, and oppression in disguise.

John Searle explains it here:

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

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
