1/ I read this essay from @DavidAFrench with great interest.
I am a pentacostal. These are my people and I know them well; I have my degree in Biblical Studies from @Estoncollege which is the College of my denomination: the Apostolic Church of Pentacost. frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/the-seeds-of…
2/ First, some things I agree with.
He is right that there are almost no elite theologians or Christian cultural commentators that have any idea what my people believe "on the ground."
He is right about that. However, this is not something that typically bothers us. However...
3/ It does grate on me when various elites sneer without bothering to understand what it is we believe.
Most have not read a single book by Simon Chan or Gordon Fee but will claim to know what we believe. (Fee gave me my Greek New Testament FWIW)
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)
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)
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...
1/ 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.
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...
