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:
Image
Image
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.
Image
Image
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.
Image
Image
4/
In addition to advancing DEI the CDC, NCEH, and APHA are also using something called BRACE (building resistance against climate effects). They want to mix this framework with DEI so that any climate initiative is done through the lens of DEI
Image
Image
5/
Using BRACE the CDC is allowing indigenous tribes to bring in "indigenous health indicators" as well as "indigenous concepts of health."

Basically, this the first step to allowing ideas that are not backed by western science and medicine. It's dangerous. Image
6/
Because the CDC and APHA have fully embraced wokeness, the CDC is using the "Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion" framework to get rid of women and mothers and replace them with "pregnant people."

Women are being erased by the CDC. Image
7/
All of the woke ideology is going to be baked into the Environtmental Justice Index, which will be a woke scorecard for the blending for climate change and DEI. Image
8/
Of course, the question is who are the people who are behind all of this?

Well here is your answer: the APHA has a list of people who are responsible for building the Climate Change and Health playbook that brings in the BRACE and JEDI frameworks.👇👇 Image
9/
And if it is not clear what this is really all about the game is given away when they say that devolping a climate and health plan requires a "racial equity impact assessment"

Again, they want to use these plans in the service of "equity" and as I said yesterday the means.... Image
10/
equity is not the same as equality. Equality is about equality of opportunity, equity is about equality of OUTCOME:
11/
Woke activists are using government institutions funded by taxpayer dollars to advance their woke political agenda.

The correct response to this is to DEFUND all of this and out a stop to it.

Now.

This misses the point of the question

Indigenous displacement is an idea from postcolonial theory often used to normatively criticize western nations; often using statistical demographic change as evidence of the charge.

My question is: why this doesn't idea apply to London?
2/
The point I am trying to bring out here is related to a question asked by the philosopher Joseph Heath: "What is the difference between a settler and an immigrant?"

Concepts like "indigenous displacement" appear to be neutral descriptions but are in fact normatively loaded...
3/
And the result is that they get deployed according to the normative political considerations of the person using them.

This is why Europeans who move to the U.S. are called "settlers" but Syrian refugees get called immigrants.

"Catholics would be tolerated on the fringes of society"

This sentence is why the dissident right will fail. Trad-Caths/Catholic Integralists see protestants as an abhorration of the true faith. So there's *zero* chance they ever agree to be "tolerated at the fringe of society."
The dissident right has a Protestant wing and a catholic wing.

Protestant DR types think some form of *protestant* Christianity (usually but not always some form of Calvinism) needs to be the default religion of the public.

Trad-caths think it should be catholicism...
And the trad-caths are never, evr, going to let the protestant calvinists (whom the catholics view as a heretical abhorration of true Christianity) force catholics to be merely "tolerated at the fringes."

Likewise, protestants will *never* submit to catholic rule. Ever.

Since "noticing" appears to be a thing, I'd like to say that I "notice" things as well....And I can't help but *notice* the obsession that certain people have with Israel, even though other nations (China, India, Russia, etc) impact the U.S. far more....
I also can't help but notice that those same sorts of people are obsessed the influence of wealth Jews, but have nothing to say about the influence of money from China, Qatar, Russia, India, and so on.

The Jews are, apparantly, an item of incredibly deep concern...
For a great number of people, and I can't help but *notice* that the far greater and more pernicious influence (and subversion) coming from foreign money in other countries gets mysteriously ignored, and I *notice* that Israel is held to a higher standard than every other country

Wokeness is the alloy of the political ideology and moral value framework from Critical Theory with the social constructivist worldview and epistemology of postmodernism.

As the political side of woke recedes culturally, it leaves behind the underlying postmodern worldview.
2/ The teleology of the woke project came from the moral commitments of intersectional social justice (Trans-rights, Race based activism, etc)

Those movements are being dissolved by their own incoherence and absurdity (Land acknowledgements, claiming men can become women, etc)
3/
The dissolution and exhaustion of the political movement that provided the teleology and moral value framework for wokeness leaves the entire social movement around which those things were built without any thing to serve as locus for meaning, purpose, or values.

The left created an epitemic bubble which filters out everything that challenges their narrative while promoting anything that confirms their priors

It's socially enforced confirmation bias at scale which results in the left having no idea what anyone outside their bubble thinks
The left has what @wesyang calls a "Vertically Integrated Messaging Apparatus." It's an apparatus of messaging distribution which is owned and operated by leftists top to bottom, and disseminates only the information which aligns with leftist moral norms and political priorities.
@wesyang The lefts messaging apparatus used to be the information distributor for all of society (we called it "mainstream media") but new media alternatives and the rollback of social media censorship regime's mean society is no longer a captive audience for the lefts messaging apparatus

For decades it was the progressive leftist worldview from which the norms of public life and the values of the common culture were derived. The at-large culture was the home of leftists, and conservative evangelicals were treated like unwanted guests.

Those days are over.
The culture is changing so quickly that people are about to get whiplash. It's no longer the case that the default values of public life are those of the social-justice left, (or of "progressives") and progressives no longer get to determine what is allowed in "polite company."
In other words, the progressives no longer get to simply assume that their goals, values, and priorities get to take center stage in the at-large culture.

The presumption of progressive leftists that they get to set the terms of the debate no longer carries any weight.
