A thread about a pattern of Woke infiltration, so that it might be spotted and stopped.

Woke Marxists use a suite of techniques that are called "entryism" (the art of entering) to infiltrate institutions and take them over from within.
newdiscourses.com/2024/01/how-th…
There are five basic stages in this model of infiltration:
1) Demand access.
2) Demand accommodation.
3) Demand a seat at the table (demand power).
4) Demand to run the table (demand controlling power).
5) Demand to run the room (demand total power).
The first stage is to demand access. You hear this in much of their language. "Equity," even though it means the redistribution of shares, is framed through some linguistic tricks as equalizing access. "Inclusion" is about including Woke Marxists in things.
No organization or institution or group, even under the most liberal of policies, has any obligation to admit troublemakers. Critical consciousness (Woke) is a troublemaker. The Woke therefore have to demand access to be allowed in, usually through bids that are hard to turn down
The general formula of Marxism is to operationalize "bitch moves" that polite society doesn't know how to say no to without looking like a jerk. You see it everywhere. So, if you don't give them access, they accuse you of shutting them out for a nasty reason: racism or something.
If you admit the Woke Marxist access, the trouble will begin at once because they'll factionalize your org from within. Woke Marxists, like all Marxists (and Cluster B personalities) are troublemakers. You need to realize you're under no obligation to let them in on their demand.
Once inside, they'll demand accommodation. You'll have to allow them to be disruptive troublemakers, be asked to change the rules, etc., in the name of "inclusion" and "belonging." There are entire suites of memes and cartoons describing this dynamic. Image
You let the radicals in, and now you have to bend your organization around making them feel comfortable, welcomed, honored, respected, etc., usually on constantly shifting terms. The demand for accommodation begins a process of renormalization, in other words.
Renormalization occurs when a group reorients itself around a highly intolerant or disagreeable member who won't accommodate in return. A paradigm example is a vegan teenage daughter who forces a whole family to reorient its diet because she simply won't eat anything else.
You can expect at least two things during the demand for accommodation phase: (a) they'll use the same bitch moves against any attempt to refuse (it's "sexist" not to accommodate feminist hags), and (b) they'll use the factionalization they always make to leverage against you.
By the time the demands for accommodation are presented, you'll find that a surprising cohort of your organization is already at least kinda on the Woke Marxists' side. They've been working to spread critical consciousness (Woke) and gain allies from the day they got in.
Imagine a church that lets in an envious associate pastor who goes around the congregation quietly making comments and then relationships against the head pastor in order to do an ouster. Same exact mentality, but Woke Marxism is tailored to do that process deeply and effectively
By the time they're demanding accommodation, in other words, you're already infiltrated. You have to take the hits of the "bitch moves" and remove the people demanding accommodation or, at least, tell them no policies will change and that they can accept them as they are or leave
As their accommodation grows, so will the power of their faction, and they'll begin to leverage that to demand a seat at the table. They don't demand total power; they demand a say. Their faction demands representation in the leadership ranks. You will lose if you let this happen
They will not be content with a little bit of say, a single voice on a committee. They will quickly leverage that position to use "bitch moves" to undermine the authority of the existing power structure and demand more representation while changing as much policy as possible.
The demand for a seat at the table will quickly become a snowballing demand for more seats until they are demanding to run the table. This is the phase in a company or institution where they start building a DEI bureaucracy that develops and enforces the Woke Marxist policy line.
The goal at this stage is to build a full-blown administrative apparatus that manages the entire org. If they're building this, you are pretty much screwed. (Stop hiring college graduates!) Your organization is probably toast, and most normal people will start bleeding off.
If they gain this kind of administrative power, they will demand to run and manage everything. In effect, they already are by the time they're building out the bureaucracy that will do it, but it will become explicit policy. At that point, the original org is a zombie. Image
They will mismanage the organization to do Woke Marxist goals (mostly, break things, make more Woke Marxists, and infiltrate other orgs) until its base of stolen capital (financial, cultural, social) collapses, at which point they'll blame "racism" and attack neighboring orgs.
You can see this part of the process, the secret Step (6), playing out in the wake of Claudine Gay's disgrace and resignation from Harvard's presidency. They're melting down as Harvard bleeds capital of all kinds and blaming "racism" to attack all legitimate academic work.
This is when the cordyceps fungus blooms, more or less, and spreads its spores because the bug it infected in the first place is completely and totally drained. Woke Marxism is basically the parasitic function of socioeconomic affairs. This pattern plays out repeatedly. Image
If you want to stop this process, you have to stop it early. Refusing access to troublemakers for being troublemakers and making clear that critical consciousness (Woke) means making trouble is a step you can probably make now but couldn't two years ago. People are waking up!
Refusing accommodation for Woke troublemaking is also something you can do now much more easily than you could a couple years ago, and it's easier for people to swallow as acceptable than limiting access, which can easily be spun as being discriminatory.
Once you start accommodating, you pretty much lose, though. It's really too late once you're on the "belonging" railroad. You can try to keep troublemakers out of power and from gaining power, but they've already arranged internal conditions against you, and it's gonna be ugly.
The most important thing is to set policies that prevent the demand for accommodation, which if held strongly and seriously will mostly solve the access problem automatically. Wokes don't like resistance and will, on their own, look for softer targets. RIP them, I guess.
Having clear policies that normies understand to be "inclusive" or whatever can really help in this effort to refuse additional accommodation. You are ultimately fighting a PR battle against "bitch moves," so seek to have a strong foundation in equality and good work environment

What you are seeing on college campuses is textbook Maoism. The "demonstrators" you see are textbook Maoists, and many of them know they are and are that deliberately, intentionally. You are seeing Beijing University 1966, inter alia. These are our Red Guard, and it won't go away
This Maoist youth revolt will have to be confronted, but it will have to be confronted intelligently, aware of Maoist tactics and traps. Of course, they'd most like to just get their way, whatever it is (it will change next season), but second best is provoking an ugly reaction.
In China in the 1960s, the Red Guard had the support of the government it was ultimately targeting in most of the places it erupted. In America in the 2020s, it has the support of the government it is ultimately targeting in some of the places it is erupting.

Should remind people again that Critical Race Theory isn't anti-white racism. It's Race Marxism. It facilitates and makes use of racism of all kinds, and much anti-white racism is activated in the process. It's made use of too, of course, but the purpose is Marxist revolution.
This distinction matters a lot. A Marxist revolution is infinitely worse than mere activated racism, but activated racism is most people's point of contact with the program. Misdiagnosing a Marxist revolution as anti-white racism is a fatal mistake for a variety of reasons.
Seeing Race Marxism through a lens of anti-white racism is seeing the surface without the roots; the bullets without the guy pulling the trigger that fires them. It misses the most important part. It's also a trap. It induces the very identity thinking and politics CRT utilizes.

So thanks to Tucker Carlson, evolution is back on the table of contentious conversations, but, as will surprise almost no one, we're discussing it in completely the wrong way.

We need to talk about evolution, but it's not Genesis versus Darwin. It's reality versus "New Genesis."
In the podcast premiering now on @NewDiscourses, you will hear very clearly that the United Nations has been pushing a *theosophical* concept of evolution and has been angling for decades to seize control over the evolution of humanity, human beings, the planet, and the cosmos.
@NewDiscourses The theosophical idea of evolution is completely distinct from and opposed to both Christian creationism and "Darwinian" evolutionary theory (evolution by natural selection, minus any of Darwin's less useful ideas). This is very important to understand. It's something evil.

"Women" don't exist. There's no such thing as "women."

Neither do "gays" or especially the execrable "LGBTQ+."

"Christians" don't really exist either, but at least here it's closer.

These statements sound insane, but this is going to be an important thread.
I hear all the time that "women" voted for this, or "women" believe that. "Women" DOESN'T exist.

Note the grammar.

Individuals who are women (adult human females) exist. "Women" is a class made up of billions of individual females (and zero males, we have to note). This is big.
"Women" (in quotes here) refers to a class that is not a monolith. It is a descriptive term for billions of people, each of whom has an individual mind. "Women" didn't vote for anything, even if 62% of them, say, did. Almost 40% of them chose something else.

Less accurate: Woke (CRT) is anti-white (racism).

More accurate: Woke (CRT) enables and makes use of anti-white racism such that it proliferates.

This distinction matters a lot. Woke (CRT) is something far more evil and sinister than racial animus, and racial animus is bait.
I don't know how to tell people the Woke (and especially the people making use of them) WANT white people to think of themselves as a racial class that's in intrinsic conflict with other racial classes, collectively "people of color." It's the Communist Manifesto, p. 1 of ch. 1! Image
Going from p. 1 of ch. 1 of the Communist Manifesto, finding yourself in antagonistic (racial) class identities is posited always to end either in revolution (red or white) or in the "common ruin of the contended classes."

Reject the entire destructive path! It's not the way!

The politics of compliance, as I've termed it, are designed to create what has elsewhere been termed "mass-formation psychosis." When color-revolution-level psychological active measures are applied to the politics of compliance, you get this scale of mass-formation psychosis.
The politics of compliance is an overarching term I'm using for what we might identify as "Maoism," since Mao was perhaps history's most successful pusher of the politics of compliance. You can read about the basic principles here.
newdiscourses.com/2024/03/maos-p…
The basic engine of the politics of compliance is dividing the population into two essential groups: the compliant and the non-compliant. There are two types of non-compliants: passive (reluctant) and active (refusing). The goal is to maximize the quantity of compliants.
