This is part of the culture shift @default_friend has been tracking.

The poinit this: for most people free love/hooking up **DOES NOT WORK**

Note how I said **DOES NOT WORK**.

People don't think free love/hooking up is morally wrong, they think it **DOES NOT WORK**
2/
Everyone is realizing that for the vast majority of people hooking up and casual sex introduce a lot of variables and complexity into their attempts at dating.

For that reason, people now believe that for finding a husband or wife the hookup culture **DOES NOT WORK**
3/
Why hook-up culture **DOES NOT WORK** for both long term relationships and civilization have been explored by @BretWeinstein, @HeatherEHeying, and @jordanbpeterson.

Since people want something that works, and hookup culture **DOES NOT WORK** hookup culture is being rejected.
4/
People may argue about the morality of "hooking-up" and "casual sex," but moral concerns are now being eclipsed by the fact that hook-up culture **DOES NOT WORK**

For that reason people want to abolish and reject the assumptions, norms, and expectations of hook-up culture
5/
For this reason, social conservstives disposition ought to home the point that hook-up culture **DOES NOT WORK**

Once people understand thst hook-up culture **DOES NOT WORK** we can discuss why it **DOES NOT WORK**

Then we can have a moral discussion about what does work.
6/
I have participated in hook-up culture. And, in part because hook-up culture **DOES NOT WORK** and in part because I want to get married I have rejected it.

Now, I would love to know what DOES work (this is why I watch @jordanbpeterson on youtube), but the point is....
7/
The hook-up culture **DOES NOT WORK** and that message needs to be driven into the heart of the culture...with that framing.

The moral point doesnt have the juice....you need to make the practical point and then work your way back to what works, and then to morality.
8/
So the framing that "the hook-up culture **DOES NOT WORK** for long term relationship and home building," needs to be driven into the culture over and above the libertine "anything goes" culture.

This must happen sooner rather than later.
9/
What is moral in relationships is deeply connected to what works. And since hook up culture **DOES NOT WORK** there is a deep moral issue here.

But people won't see that until they know hookup culture **DOES NOT WORK**

Make the practical point to work toward your moral point

Wokeness says racism is "privilege + power." It also says all non-whites are oppressed (they lack power) so they can't be racist.

In practice this view enables vile and disgusting racism from minorities because it lets people hide behind "I can't be racist, I'm a minority."
2/
Wokeness took over universities and school systems using an ideology built from postmodernism and Critical Theories (Queer theory, postcolonial theory, and CRT), that has a veneer of sophistication, but is in fact divorced from reality, and methodologically broken.

Now...

these politicized theories (and the creators of them insist these theories are political) now to dominate our Universities and school systems and are being taught to students as though they are just neutral facts, rather then political theories created for political reasons...

What @whatever keeps exposing so beautifully is socially liberal, woke, feminist ideology is just shifting standards that change based on whose interests are served.

Male interests (prefer thin women) = Arbitrary Social Construct

Female interests (prefer tall men) = biology!
That's literally all it is. The beliefs, argument, morals, standards, and pretty much everything else that is held by the socially liberal/woke/feminists shift and change based on who they want to support.

Their standards are all about interests...not the truth of the matter.
And @whatever continuously draws out the total and complete bankruptcy of this view by laying bare all the obvious hypocrisy and drawing out the inconsistencies and double standards.

The strength of any argument in the public square is a product of how deeply the assumptions...

The next stage of anti-racism will be:

"It's racist to deny the culture of (insert woke approved minority culture) are superior to that of (insert non-woke culture)"

The logic will be "you deny your inferiority because your racism blinds you to the reality of your inferiority."
The new line will not be "all are equal." It will be that woke approved cultural ideas, norms, mores, and ideologies (all of which will be woke approved) are superior and it's racist to think otherwise.

There will be two versions: the smart version and the stupid version...
The smart version will pathologize any non-woke culture from any race. And will dissmiss non-woke black and hispanic culture as being just internalized racism

The stupid version will be "white people are trash and their racism blinds them to the fact non-whites are superior"

YOU CAN'T DEFINE WOKE!

Those who say we can't define woke or that it's just a slur or substitute for the N-word are playing word games in order to undercut your ability to highlight and criticize their ideas.

Let's talk about how it works.

So, defining "woke"

A Thread🧵
2/
This was sparked by a Television interview where Bethany Mandel, who I consider a friend, was asked by the host Briana Joy Gray to define woke. Unfortunately, Bethany had difficulty giving a definiton, and in the moment just said Woke hard to define.
3/
Predictably, this lead to something of a pile on as a tweet of the moment went viral on twitter, with left leaning accounts claiming that when conservatives call things woke, that conservatives use as a slur. Here are just a couple of examples:

The strategy here is to undercut your ability to connect the dots of the woke worldview to "defund the police," Critical race Theory in schools, and drag queen story hour, so they can act like those are diffuse unconnected phenomena rather than the fruit of their woke ideology.
-Critical race theory in schools
-Diversity, inclusion, and equity programs
-drag queen story hour
-defund the police
-shouting down non-woke speakers on campus

All of this is connected, and it is all advocacy on behalf of wokeness. Now, a definition of wokeness:
Woke: the view that
-society is oppressive
-oppression is the result of identity based discrimination (racism, sexism, homophobia)
-which operates via systemic power through cultural hegemony
-which we are socialized into
- and the solution to this is to rebuild to whole system

This is just observing that "the failures of socialism are used to justify for socialism."

Sure, but missing the point.

The point is that the right has been getting its ass kicked for 40 years because it never, ever, understands what the left is doing.

The right *always*....
Misses the point of how the left operates.

So we end up with insights like "Social security is communism" and then the right gets its ass kicked.

The "woke" left does have an underlying structure and belief set, and it operates in particular ways which are predictable if...
we understand what their worldview is and how it operates.

Saying bullshit like "iTs AlL jUsT AnTiWhItEnEsS" is agreat way to get caught flat-footed when they shift their frame from identity politics to "sustainability."

The right has no idea how to build power. At all. None...
