 Dictionaries/wikipedia changing the meaning of words in order to help the left win arguments.

A thread🧵

@Cernovich gives us our first example: wikipedia redefining "recession" to help Democrats👇
2/
 When Republicans put Amy Coney-Barret on the Supreme court the left chaged the meaning of "court-packing" and dictionary .com went along with it. ImageImage
3/
 Speaking of Amy Coney-Barret...

When Amy Coney-Barret used the term "preference" wbile discussing sexual orientation the left pretended that "preference" was offensive, and Merriam-Webster changed the definition in order to make that lie stick👇 ImageImage
4/
 The transgender people got merriam-webster the change the definition of the word "female" to include "gender identity" (pic 1) when that was nowhere to found as recently as 2019 (pic 2) ImageImage
5/
 Of course changing the meaning of "female" means changing the meaning of "girl"

(H/T @libsoftiktok) ImageImage
6/
 And of course changing the meaning of '"girl" means changing the meaning of "boy" ImageImage
7/
 We also find that vox celebrating the fact that Merriam-Webster changed the definition of racism to include purely "systemic oppression." ImageImageImage
8/
 @chadfelixg points out that google changed the definition of the word bigot ImageImageImage
9/
 The left did not like us pointing out their use of "cultural marxism" (a term found in academic literature to refer to marxist cultural analysis) so they changed the meaning of that word to be an anti-semitic conspiracy theory... and wikipedia went along with it.👇 Image
10/
 The left did not lile non-white voting for Trump...so they changed the definition of "whiteness" to include black, brown, and hispanic people.

The dictionary didn't go along with this...but the washington post sure did. ImageImage
11/
 The game the left is playing is to shift the definitions of words in their favor, and then get dictionaries and wikipedia (the common sources people use to check definitions) to do their dirty work and change the official definition to reflect what the left wants.
12/
 The left can't win on the merits so they have to play fast and loose with the definitions. They have to use linguistic sleight of hand to make it look like they're winning.
13/
 @JackPosobiec points out that wikipedia has redefined the word "definition"

 For anyone wondering, the pictures included are not mine (I won't doxx my sons school) but are just like stuff I have seen at my sons school

Also, I don't think teachers at my sons school are malicious. They're just using the frameworks and methods they were taught in college
2/
 They don't do land acknowledgements and such in order to make my son feel unwelcome, they are just applying the things they were taught in college about "reconciliation." For the most part, these teachers mean well and are really trying their best, but because of the skew...
3/
 of the teacher toward being both progressive and toward being women, the result is a very feminine coded social justice oriented environment across the education system. The result is that the environment is terrific for little girls, but can be difficult for little boys...

People coming from third world nations to advanced western nations bring their ideas about of how society works with them.

So they don't see electoral politics as a tool for ensuring proper governance, they see it as a way to get goodies for their clan and win tribal conflicts
This isn't because those people are evil, stupid—it's because in third world nations the primary use of politics really is for winners to give goodies to their friends and settle scores with their enemies.

The competent management of infrastructure and services is secondary.
So, rather then ask "how can I govern in a way that is best for the health of the nation as a whole, and whst is the best way to ensure competent management of the advanced systems that make society work?" The third worlder asks "how can I reward my friends and harm my enemies?"

Mamdani's win today had absolutely nothing to do with anything happening on X, nor did it have anything to do with Nick Fuentes, Groypers, or intra-right squabbles.

The Mamdani cake was baked weeks ago, this win, and margin of victory, were predicted by polling for weeks...
Mamdani won because he was able to appeal to the professional creative class demographic of NYC. The fact that Mamdani only won 50% of Muslims, but 70% of non-religious people tells you who his base was: downwardly mobile educated creative class professionals....
Nothing on X, and I mean nothing, played any role in his getting elected.

Cuomo and Adams both staying in the race despite their unpopularity didn't help (a centrist without either of their baggage might have pulled out a win) but anyone telling out that this was about...

 The Advisory Board of the Community Development Financial Institution Fund is staffed by leftists, and it funnels money into leftist causes.

For example: Justin Maxson, who sits on the board of the CDFI Fund, created a "racial equity lens" in his previous job. Image
2/
 Jennifer Sun works at Asian Americans For Equality which "advances racial, social, and economic
justice for Asian American, immigrant and other systematically disadvantaged communities"

Again, it's a social justice focus. Image
3/
 Maria Bilonick works at the Opportunity Finance Netowork, which funnels money into "racial equity" and "environmental justice." Image

 These Republicans are protecting the CDFI fund, an institution which funnels money into left wing causes.

The CDFI gave 173 Million dollars to the Opportunity Finance Network, and organization that is concerned with DEI, Systemic Racism, and "Racial Justice"

A thread 🧵 Image
Image
2/
 The Opportunity Finance Network is an institution that has as its goal advancing leftists ideology and talking points.

For example, the CDFI ran a post reflecting on how they were going to "operationalize racial equity" into their work.

This is just a folk version of Critical Race TheoryImage
3/
 The Opportunity Finance Network also worked to ensure that the Community Development Financial Institutions's (that are funded by the governments CDFI Fund) are bringing in DEI to their networks and business practices. Image

Canadians aren't ready for what this is going to do to our economy.

Canadian Liberals adopted smug, self-satisfying anti-americanism because they see themselves as more sophisticated and intelligent than Americans, and they think having to win Trump over is beneath them... Image
Canada's Elite Liberal class thinks that Trump is beneath them, and they think it is they who deserve to be the ones with all the power and decision making. It eats them alive that Canada needs America more than America needs Canada...
They think Trump should "know his place" and do what Canada's elites want because they are better and Smarter that him. Because of their hubris and pride, they would rather say "elbows up" and crash their own economy than to treat Trump like an equal and show him some respect.
