Meidastouch is now trying to bscktrack and pretend they did not help launch an attack on Joe Rogan and did not try to Cancel Joe Rogan.

I already dealt with most of the claims in this thread, but let's do it again because I won't stand for this dishonesty and nonsense.
2/
Here Meidastouch asks whether or no we think they co-ordinated with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.

The problem is that I did not accuse them of co-ordinsting with Neil Young or Joni Mitchell. This is them trying to defeat an argument that nobody made.
3/
Meidastouch says they don't want to cancel people (pic 1), but
1. when Malcolm Nance said #firejoerogan Ben from Meidastouch RT'd it (pic 2).
2. When Patriottakes called for Joe Rogan to be fired Ben said Thank you! (pic 3) and Meidastouch amplified/endorsed that tweet (Pic 4)
4/
They say they never made the Rogan Clip. I said It's a safe bet they did (I never said for sure), but I'll admit I got that detail wrong. My mistake.

However, looking at the original Rogan clip that came out in 2019/early 2020 still proves my other point because....
5/
When that video was posted on twitter previously, it only got 600 RT's, and 600 Quote RT's.

The Patriottakes repost of the video got 10 times that many: 6,000 RT's and 4,000 Quote RT's.

Why? because Patriotakes had political pros (Meidastouch) amplify and boost their tweet.
6/
Meidastouch made that video national news by spreading, amplifying, and boosting it's signal. It wasn't just retweeting or posting, they were leveraging their follower count and using clever tactics to create virality the video would not otherwise have had. I'll show you...
7/
This is the twitter feed of Ben Meiselas (@meiselasb) of Meidastouch.
His whole feed is just tweet and RT's of Joe Rogan clips to make Rogan look bad. Ben has 162k followers. He is not just RTing randomly, he's trying to get "saturation."

What's "Saturation" you ask?
8/
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...
9/
The feeds of all 3 founders and the @MeidasTouch account are filled with tweets and RT's of ugly Rogan clips.

The MT founders have more than 140k followers each and the Meidastouch account has more than 700k followers.

And that's how you boost a signal.

Get the point?
10/
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
11/
Trying to backtrack now because everyone see through the game won't work.

The wanted this to look unplanned, as though the world of social media organically coughed up a firestorm as it sometimes does.

That isn't what happened here. This wasn't organic...
12/
It is one thing for a forest fire to start because lightning strikes a tree. It is another thing for a fire to start because someone gather twigs, lights the match, fans the flames, and pours gasoline on the fire.

One of those is organic and unplanned. the other is arson...
13/
And what @meidastouch and @patriottakes did to Joe Rogan was the social media and cancel culture equivalent of arson.

They wanted to destroy Joe Rogans reputation and smear him as a racist, they wanted him fired, and now they are backtracking because people see what this is.
14/
Tough beans. They did what they did, and now they can go through the backlash.

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)

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...

Ibram X. Kendi QT's a clip that makes Joe look racist. The guest says there's a theory that black people are genetically more violent.

But that clip edits out Rogans response where Rogan completely refutes his guest with an example.

Good thing I have the whole clip:
2/
See, dishonest people deceptively edit videos in order to strip the context from what has been said and make it look like it means something else.

Ibram Kendi deleted Joe's response so it would look like Joe agreed with the racist theory.

It's the twitter equivalent of this:
3/
This reeks of the thirst for power.
When someone edits a video dishonestly they are not trying to find truth. That obviously dishonest editing job coupled with the recent attempts to cancel Joe Rogan leads me to believe this is about Joe's influence and success. Not truth...

Since you asked, and I love your work, I'll tell you.

This is a professional political attack. Three waves one right after the other is not a coincidence. Good spacing, good timing, so it's absolutely professional.

But who was it you ask?

That takes some digging but...
2/
The video compilation of Rogan saying the n-word was dropped by @patriottakes 6 days ago. You see the video in the tweet in pic 1, and patriottakes takes credit for "republishing" the information in pic 2.

That they take credit is important and you'll see why shortly... ImageImage
3/
As you can see in their bio, @patriottakes is partnered with @MeidasTouch.

And this is where it gets interesting.

Who is Meidastouch?

Well, they are a professional political organization. In fact, they are a Democrat "Super PAC" (more on that in a moment) run by 3 brothers Image

So, @donwinslow tried to get @joerogan cancelled for saying the N-word.

It turns out that in his books Don winslow has used the n-word a lot... and I mean a **LOT**

So here is a **VERY** long thread of times Don Winslow has used the N-word in his books.

Once again the woke attempting to cancel @joerogan

First they tried to cancel him over Alex Jones. Then they tried to cancel him for "vaccine misinformation."

Since their first two attempts failed they are now pulling out their biggest weapon: racism.

Let's talk about it 🧵

Here is a link to Joe Rogan responding to the various allegations.

You can have a look at that for context.

Then we will discuss the tactics in play here.

Basically, someone edited together a video of @joerogan saying the N-word in his podcast.

The account that did this is acting in bad faith. We know this both because they edited out the context, and because that account supports Joe Biden, who also said the N-word on camera:
