 There is no attempt to "mystify" anything.

I am well aware of the rhetoric about "abolishing the white race." And I have been tweeting and explaining this for years. I am the one who dug up videos like this:
2/
 I first tweeted this video out in 2020...more than two years ago.

Check the date:
3/
 I also did threads explaining exactly what these people mean when they talk about this stuff:

4/
 I also did threads explaing the geneology of these ideas, and how the various theorists explain them, and the differences between them:

5/
 I also know Noel ignatiev (the man in video) was criticized by Analee Newitz in "White Trach: Race and Class in America" for being ambiguous about whether he means "white race" as a social construct (identifying as "white"), or as a biological group (those with white skin)👇
6/
 I have also repeatedly explained how these people view race, and how they use it to play politics...and I bring receipts every time:

7/
 I have also explained, in great detail, how and why the woke play identity politics, as well as all of the asssmuption in play and how they argue for their views:

8/
 I have also gone to great lengths to show how postmodernism (andmamy of its social constructivist assumptions) made its way into Critical Race Theory, and how those assumption were used by Critical Race Theorists.

Again...this thread is from 2020👇

9/
 I have also documented exactly how Critical Race Theory was blended with Paulo Freire's "Critical Pedagogy" and brpught into k-12 education.

Again, I bring receipts and I to show *exactly* how this was done, and how activist teachers make use of this👇
10/
 I didn't spend years doing this because I want to "mystify" what is going on, but because the truth about how these ideas captured our societies institutions matters.

If we ignore what really happened and just say "welp, I guess they're just anti-white" we're going to lose
11/
 I have also gone through the activist manuels (like "Beautiful Trouble," which explain the tactics and strategies of the woke left and how they implement them) so you can see what woke activists are doing and why...so you know how to counter them.

12/
 And finally, as a visiting fellow at The Center for Renewing America (@amrenewctr) I have worked with @realchrisrufo to create a practical manuel for people who want oppose wokeness in their school system.

It's a great document you should all read👇

13/
 I am not mysifying anything. I have researched and explained the academic roots of wokeness, how it made it's way into our institutions, and the strategies/tactics of woke activists...and used the research to give practical and effective guides for how to counter wokenss.
14/
 So I think my track record on this speaks volumes about whether or not I am trying to hide anything

 Briefly...

Pointing at a single fight and concluding that since none of those people read foucault that therefore the foucault's theories have no cultural impact, is like concluding that since most people have not Einstein and Newton they had no impact on the world...
2/
 Paulo Freire was a marxist education theorist, lets compare
his citation count to other famous Scholars for context:

Jordan Peterson: 13,381
Isaac Newton: 27,143
Albert Einstein: 131,459
Richard Dawkins: 88,079
Charles Darwin: 184,507

Paulo Freire has **𝟜𝟙𝟙,𝟡𝟠𝟘** ImageImageImageImage

 This means Freire is the most cited scholar of the group. His terrible and flawed theories are being used to run the educstion system.

Fights like the one Beattie shows are what happens when you use bad methods to run an education system.

But there is something else here...

 Wokeness has no forgiveness mechanism (you can only confess and beg for mercy while they cancel you) while also focusing on ever smaller perceived sins, slights, and transgressions (AKA microaggressions) which it treats like unimaginable catastrophes.

This is unlivable.
2/
 It means they small, everyday, social minutia and read "systemic power" into them and that makes the smile you gave to waitress an act of aggression, the handshake you gave the postman an act of patriarchy, and the off-color joke you told at the bar and act of oppression.
3/
 As such ever smaller transgressions, mistakes, awkward moments, errors and social misunderstandings will be endlessly nitpicked, analyzed, and reinterpreted as the woke look for reasons to "problematize" social minutia and cancel people for the crime of not being woke enough

 The woke often say "objective standards" are a not objective, they're a mask for racism, white supremacy, cultural biases, personal agenda's, and self-interest.

The irony is that without objective standards biases, agenda's and self-interest become *more* of a problem...
2/
 Because without objective standards to decide what is true, good, right, beautiful, or reasonable...people can hid their motives, biases, and self-interest behind shifting subjective standards.

And because wokeness has constantly shifting standards it's almost impossible....
3/
 To tell if someone is making a sincere argument, or using woke jargon to hide biases, political agenda's, or personal self-interest under the veneer of "social justice."

Woke ideology destroys the objective standards we use to distinguish good ideas from bad ones...

 This is a TERRIBLE idea.

"Woke" is the label for a very specific ideology. Dropping it to focus on individual things will cause us to lose sight of the worldview from which those bad ideas emerge.

We need a name for the ideology these bad ideas come from because...
2/
 To the average person these bad ideas just look like diffuse and unconnected phenomenon, rather than what they are: the fruit of a well developed left wing authoritarian political and social ideology and worldview.

We need a label that names this worldview and ideology...
3/
 So that we can criticize bith the bad ideas...AND THE UNDERLYING WORLDVIEW AND IDEOLOGY THST THEY EMERGE FROM.

Of we can't name and label the ideology, we can't effectively criticize it. If we can't criticize it effectively then...

 You will never defeat the left if you do not understand that postmodernism and critical theory (which the woke left use to create their arguments, ideas,and concepts) were created entirely to attack, subvert, and undermine enlightenment liberalism.

Once you underatand that...
2/
 You can begin to understand that "liberalism" is not what creates wokeness...nor is wokeness an extension of liberalism.

Wokeness as created by critical theory and postmodernism (both of which are a reaction to and against enlightenment liberalism) takes advantage of...
3/
 Gaps in the armour of the theories that support enlightenment.

As such, wokeness (the alloy of critical theory and postmodernism) is not an extension of liberalism, it is an ideological framework (or worldview) that exploits weaknesses in the armour of liberalism.

Wholly apart from the charge of gnostocism...

To say Adam felt like a stranger in this world while in the Garden of Eden is wrong. God made the Garden for Adam and Adam for the Garden...and "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."

What makes us feel like...
strangers in this world is the sin that separates us from God.

Adam was created *good* to live in a created order that was also *good.* Sin corrupts both Adam, corrupts the created order, and separates us from God, and *THAT* which the source of our alienation. We don't long...
For heaven because we were made for heaven...we long for heaven because it has pre-fall conditions Adam had at his creation: (a) is not corrupted by sin and (b) we get there we will no longer be separated from God.

What we long for is not a place (heaven) it is God....
