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.
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👇
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)
5/ Of course changing the meaning of "female" means changing the meaning of "girl"
6/ And of course changing the meaning of '"girl" means changing the meaning of "boy"
7/ We also find that vox celebrating the fact that Merriam-Webster changed the definition of racism to include purely "systemic oppression."
8/ @chadfelixg points out that google changed the definition of the word bigot
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.👇
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.
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"
Why did Pro-Palestine protestors burn an American flag at a WW1 monument as a protest against Israel you ask?
Because woke support for Palestine is actually about signaling support for anything *counter-hegemonic* to American Culture and western values.
The Woke split everything into oppressor and oppressed, and thus see America specifically, and the west generally as oppressors
According to woke theory, America and the west maintain their oppressive power through "cultural hegemony" - control and dominance over the culture...
through the control and ownership of the the means of cultural production and dissemination.
The woke think America's cultural power is very bad because it allows America to spread and legitimize American and western values on the world stage, while rejecting other values....
The woke say part of white privilege not seeing yourself as having a white identity.
The woke want whites to adopt a white identity because they think adopting white identity is the first step to white people acknowledging the "white privilege" that comes with white identity...
The woke want *EVERYONE* including white people to develop "racial consciousness," to adopt a racial identity, and to then use that identity and consciousness to locate themselves in the social hierarchy of oppression. (the woke call this acknowledging your "positionality")
The same is true of "gender." The goal of getting everyone to adopt consciousness and identity around race, sex, gender, ability status, etc, is to get everyone to play identity politics according the woke rules, and integrate EVERYONE into the identity politics narrative
1/
Want to know how Woke activists take over buildings, smash windows, trash university campuses, and still have the press call them "non-violent"?
Well, as it turns out these are well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.
Here's a primer:
2/ First off: none of this is spontaneous.
IE: The protestors in the video going around have shields. (pic 1)
In 2020 we learned these shields can take hours to make and are made by volunteers working all day. You don't do that spontaneously. It takes planning. (pics 2 +3)
3/ Here's a thread on the shields used during the 2020 Portland protests. They are well built and are distributed to those wishing to engage in "direct action" (AKA violence and vandalism).
Not all shields are built like this, but this is typical:
1/ The United States government has been completely hijacked by woke activists.
The National Center for Environmental Health, which works with the CDC has a $200 million budget, is using Climate Change to advance DEI.
Let me show you just how deep the rot goes:
2/ The CDC teamed up with the American Public Health Association, and created a "climate change and health playbook" (pic 1) which the APHA says is focused on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (pic 2)
They're using Climate change as an excuse to advance DEI.
3/ The APHA then does a definition of "JEDI" and as you can see it is just the entirety of woke ideology in the form of DEI.
Remember, this is a health care organization which is diverting taxpayer money to use Climate Change as an excuse to advance DEI.
1/ Woke "Social Justice" activists have hijacked and weaponized public health!
The CDC and the American Public Health Association made a Climate Change manual about putting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into everything they do.
The Woke healthcare takeover,
A Thread🧵
2/ Critical Social Justice (AKA "woke") activists take over organizations in order to use them as vehicles for spreading woke ideology.
This is why the APHA and the CDC, which is supposed to focus on health, has pages focused Social Justice, Racism, Climate Change, and Equity.
3/ So how exactly are the woke hijacking health?
Let's look at that.
The CDC has created the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), which serves as a vehicle for using CDC resources to focus on such things as Racism, Climate Change, and Equity.
2/ Leftists don't pick up issues because they want to solve problems. They only pick up issues they can use todevelop leaders, train activists, and grow their "Grassroots Community Organizations."
For the left, solving the problem isn't the point....the point is to get power.
3/ The forward to the book that I have been quote was written by Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven.
Cloward and Piven are long time activist/academics and have been members of the radical left since the 60's.
They are very important names that you should know because....
