2/ Will those of you who live in the area PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take the time to go to her store and buy something and give a message of support.
I know you're busy, I know it costs time and money, I get it.
But they are going to break this business if we don't support her...
3/ So please, a single ice cream or a drink and a sticky note thst says "tell the owner we support her" will go MILES to helping her tow the line and wait out this artificially created crisis.
Second, we need to tell the world thst what @alisonmah is doing is evil and wrong...
4/ So RT this and other tweets about it and lets get that ratio to a place where people know that people don't like it.
NO THREATS, NO FOUL LANGUAGE. Be firm, but not obnoxious, we don't want to look like we're just piling on...
5/ We defeat cancel culture by making the cancellations fail and disincentivizing cancellation attempts.
The way to do this is so support the cancelled person (in this case Sella Luna's owner) and by disapproving of the person doing to cancelling.
Here is what we do:
6/ We protect the person they are trying to cancel (the owner of Stella Luna) by shopping at their store and leaving excellent yelp and google reviews, and disapprove of the actions of the person trying to do the cancelling (alison mah). But....
7/ DO NOT USE THREATS OF BE OBNOXIOUS.
If you threaten Alison Mah she will play victim and act like a Martyr and get sympathy.
Don't allow that.
Instead, express your disapproval in a firm, authoritative, clear, proper tone.
That way Alison Mah can't play victim.
8/ One tactic woke leftists use is to try to cancel othera, and then when people disapprove, the woke person who started the cancelling acts like a victim and uses the disapproval to gain sympathy.
Do not let them do this.
Firm, clear, reasonable...not cruel or obnoxious.
9/ The owner of Stell Luna needs our help.
So, go to her facebook, instagram, webpage, yelp or google review and leave a positive comment or a comment of support (don't mention the truckers, just that you support the business. Don't start a flamewar in the reviews) then...
10/ Those of you who live in the area take an hour to buy a drink or icecream and say something positive of support to the staff or manager or owner. Let them know they won't get cancelled.
If 10 people do it that's enough to swing the tide. 10 bits of in person encouragement...
11/ Will go a LONG way to helping this person hold the line.
Their srrategy it to smash a small business, get cancellation mementum, and then go after bigger businesses.
Its a domino effect like what is shown below๐
12/ If we stop them from tupping that first domino, we can keep the rest from falling.
So let's go!!!!
Protect Stella Luna because **SHE IS ONE OF US AND SHE IS ON OUR SIDE**
Leave no small business behind!

Luke, if you want to ignore the real claim being made here, that is fine and dandy. But I think I'll tell everyone the whole context whether you agree to that or not.
What David French was talking about was not what was going on here...
What James and Glenn are talking about here, and it's clear from the context, is the idea that the financial system can be weaponized and used a method of controlling people and undermining democracy by using financial control that is not accountable to democratic oversight...
For example, in Canada, where I live, Justin Trudeau has just announced a state of emergency and has claimed that he can freeze the assets of truck protestors, ***and anyone the think donates to the truckers***, without the need for a warrant or any due process.
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-ofโฆ
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)
