Have you seen Beneath Sheep's Clothing yet? You need to. It's available now. People are saying it's a huge eye-opener. I'm going to tell you some about it.
Beneath Sheep's Clothing is a film we made to solve a particular problem: namely that Communism (in a new form) isn't just coming to American and the West, but it's already here, but people are struggling to see it. Books, articles, podcasts are great. We needed a film.
The film is the product of the admirable @JulieABehling, who traveled to Russia just after the collapse of Soviet Union and then studied Russian history and literature in order to make sense of uncanny observations she was making even back in the 90s about the US.
@JulieABehling Julie noticed that many of the things she encountered talking to people in Russia about Soviet Union, especially with regard to the Soviet uses and abuses of religion, had unsettling parallels already over twenty years ago in the United States.
@JulieABehling Eventually, Julie wrote a book titled Beneath Sheep's Clothing about it and presented an early copy of the book to me when I spoke in Utah just outside of Salt Lake City. She wanted to expose these parallels between USSR and USA religion and education.

@JulieABehling A few months later, after what seems to be some divine intervention, Julie told me there was going to be a documentary made based upon the book and asked me to participate. I was eager to help, and we got it set up so I could. The budget was a shoestring and a prayer, basically.
@JulieABehling One thing led to another, and eventually the film got some major backing from executive producer Cristhian Palacios, and the opportunity for the production quality went way up. It looked like another bit of intervention to get this message looking good and get it out there.
@JulieABehling The film is meant to tell the story of how a new brand of Communism, called "Woke" in the slang, has established itself in American and how it works here, drawing parallels to Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China and Mao Zedong. It's powerful.
This subject is unfortunately difficult, and without a show don't tell approach, it's hard to help people see what's really happening in our country. Beneath Sheep's Clothing was meant to solve that problem by showing people exactly what's happening with clear explanations.
@JulieABehling Whether it's the many nefarious ways our churches have been infiltrated by Woke (Left and Right) in order to build a one-world "transformative" religion, agendas in education like Social-Emotional Learning, raging identity politics, etc., lines draw back to Lenin and Mao.
@JulieABehling Beneath Sheep's Clothing tells this story powerfully, visually, and with a kicking soundtrack. Every single person I have talked to who has seen the film has said the same things, that it's powerful and eye-opening. It's getting people off the couch. It's moving the needle.
@JulieABehling I hope you'll check the film out. Watch it. Show it with your friends, at your church, in your organization, or at a big screen in town. America and all freedom-loving people need to see this film. And yes, I'm in it. A lot. So the sex appeal is way up.

Classical Liberalism fully embraces the concept of (scientific) universality, which I think is one of the most interesting and important ideas to repelling arbitrary power and thus unleashing peace and prosperity. It's important to understand this principle. 🧵
Classical Liberalism accept the realist axiom that the world exists independently of all observers, and the principle of universality rests upon that. The simplest expression of universality is "anyone can perform the test." That is a fantastically powerful, world-changing idea.
Because Classical Liberalism assumes realism, it assumes we have provisional and limited access to objectivity. This does not mean any given observer is objective. It means that no matter who the observer is, the facts of reality are the same and can be agreed upon.

The simplest axioms of Classical Liberalism are:

1) Reality/Creation exists objectively, not subjectively, and separately from the divine;
2) It is rationally comprehensible;
3) None of us being divine, we only have political authority over others that we can earn w/o coercion.
(1) No matter how tough or privileged your life is, reality is objective. It's external to us all. Yes, we're part of reality, but it would carry on almost exactly like it is (and with the same physical laws) without us. Truth is not a subjective affair.
That is, reality is objective, and that means it is also universal. Though our faculties are limited, each one of us has the capacity to "do the experiment" to attempt to understand how reality works, and no one's theory, no matter how great, is right by dint of anything else.

A giveaway trait of the Woke Right is a victimhood-based identity politics, just like the Woke Left. The victim groups are whites, Christians, men, and straight people, and it's roughly intersectional in how it works. Woke Rights believe in leaning into identity politics.
Of course, another couple telltale signs you're dealing with the Woke Right is them blaming things on the Jews or doing edgy Nazi memes, but there are others too. The identity politics is probably one of the most important. Focusing on "anti-white racism" is a huge one.
Like their counterparts on the Woke Left, the Woke Right have accepted as fact that there's a conspiracy against people like them and that their only real hope is to lean into the identity grouping and advocate for collective power under that heading. It's a toxic approach.

Given all the hate and excitement, I wasn't going to bother doing a thread tonight, but I'm procrastinating on real work I really don't want to do.

We need to talk about Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence or stupidity."
Hanlon's Razor is obviously a call to charity: it's a demand to think the best of people who are messing up. They're probably just ignorant, stupid, or incompetent. They're probably not intending to do bad things. Don't accuse them unnecessarily!
We should probably just put on the table where Hanlon's Razor comes from specifically before talking about where it comes from philosophically. It originates from a joke book, namely Murphy's Law, Book 2. You might want to keep that in mind when someone invokes it.

I am once again telling you Auron McIntyre is a propagandist and a fraud. His strawman is transparently stupid (he can't organize a sock drawer and is just a dipshit pawn), and he's deflecting from a real globalist agenda he doesn't want you to know about.

Regions in this stepping-stone plan are devised to cross borders and have some other features in common. They're to gain relevance over time, politically and economically, until the existing borders and laws are a burden. National sovereignty gets nullified as regions grow.
Ignorant turd or lying shit Auron doesn't want you to understand what's really happening because he's part of the program pushing for it, although he's probably too stupid and high on his own supply to know he's a patsy. Paid pretty well, though. Big platform. Image

Regarding the "Woke Right," it is also structured like the Woke Left or any other cult. It's a little more complicated because the Woke Right contains many factions, and one of them has not yet won out (the most intolerant will eventually win), but the basic structure is there.
The basic structure of cults is like three rings, where each ring might be divided up into levels. In the center, there's an "Inner Circle" who knows what's going on and uses the cult. Beyond, there are an "Inner School" and "Outer School" of members.
newdiscourses.com/2023/05/struct…
This structure is pretty clearly delineated in Wokeness, in which a single faction (Intersectional Maoism) took over. It's even clearer in secret societies like Freemasonry in which it is made explicit (1-11; 12-31; 32-33). It's diffuse on the Woke Right.
