In the 1920s, the Soviet Union pandered to its "native" (koreni) ethnic minorities that had been swept up under Russian and then Soviet rule with a program called korenizatsiya (nativification or "rootsification") in exactly this way to turn them against their class enemies.
I know I've really been harping on korenizatsiya lately and that it's a very foreign concept, but it's extremely important for us to understand. It's the fundamental basis for the DEI programs we've been running, and it's also the exact mechanism of the "native" Woke programming.
I think it's generally very important for us to understand when we're running a direct Soviet Communist import program and for people to learn to recognize a direct Soviet Communist import program, so I'm talking a lot about it. It's not just "Leftist insanity" or empathy.
Land acknowledgements are a direct ideological descendent of Soviet korenizatsiya, as are many of the other features of both DEI and Leftist incursion into reservations and with native populations, esp. in Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. It's a tactic.
The way the imported Muslim populations are being treated and handled in Europe, the UK, and Canada (eventually further) are also a form of the korenizatsiya playbook being run by modern Communists in a novel way: import the "natives" with a flipped script.
The same is true for illegal alien "migrants" in the US, Canada, etc. It is also a form of the korenizatsiya playbook being run by modern Communists in a novel way: import the "natives" with a flipped script, same, same.
Korenizatsiya (DEI + Indigeneity, cf. Affirmative Action) doesn't work. In the Soviet Union by the end of the 1920s, it became a serious source of ethnic strife. The people implementing it KNOW it doesn't work except to consolidate power and cause problems with Soviet solutions.
Korenizatsiya ran alongside the USSR's "New Economic Policy (NEP)" through the 1920s and eventually became a serious impediment to the implementation of its later initiatives and agendas by the early 1930s, so it was discarded violently, as in the Holodomor in Ukraine.
We see a similar phenomenon now. Larry Fink (BlackRock) and all the other globalist players all talk about "transition investing," "sustainability," and "inclusive capitalism" with a "stakeholder capitalism" model. These are all just rebrands of old Communist schemes.
Transition investing and "sustainability" are effectively our New Economic Policy, and Western korenizatsiya (DEI) has been a central feature of it. Now it's a liability, so they're jettisoning it to advance the NEP. ESG and sustainability continue while dropping DEI.
Stakeholder capitalism is literally a rebrand of the Worker's Soviets, which had Affirmative Action korenizatsiya representation (inclusion) shot right through them. Instead of workers' Soviets, we now have experts' Soviets, i.e., "stakeholders." It's a new Sovietism.
I'd be quaint and say "history is rhyming," but that's BS. The same bad players are trotting out the same bad playbook to create the same bad results, just with new faces and a new facade. We are heading for a bad time if we don't comprehend these moves and fight back smartly.

It's excellent that we have stood in the way of a Communist revolution here in America and may be able to stop it now, and may be able to lead the free world out of it. I'll be dedicating most of the coming year to explaining this unique Communism, which is Marxist AND Fascist.
As you've heard me saying for a long time if you follow, what I call 21st Century Communism, which derives from Deng Xiaoping Theory and depends upon our internet/social media technology, is a deliberate fusion of Marxism and Fascism. That's what we've been living through.
So in some sense, we didn't just stand firmly in the way of a Communist Revolution; we stood firmly in the way of a Marxist-Fascist hybrid revolution the likes of which the world has never seen. No Communism has ever toppled free countries before, but this one is getting many.

One of the most important lessons I've ever learned came from the skeptic community, and it's this: scientists are almost always completely useless, or worse than useless, at detecting and unmasking deception. We must be cautious, as we've learned, with deference to scientists.🧵
Understanding why scientists are frequently worse than useless, often a positive liability, in matters of deception is a matter of understanding what scientists do: they work to understand and give explanations to phenomena observed in reality.
The trouble with scientists is that they very frequently (though not always) take the observed phenomena at face value. They might eventually get there and realize deception is a part of it, but it tends to take them a long time, during which the deception continues.

So there's a pretty popular meme idea about power out there that's nothing short of propaganda. It goes like this:

The Left wants power. Conservatives want to be left alone. This is why the Left always wins. (So, conservatives should desire power.)

It's deeply wrong. 🧵
Dialectical manipulation always mixes truths and lies, and it always screws up context. In this case, it is absolutely true that the Left covets (not just wants) power, and it's generally true that conservatives wish to be left alone. Those are the truths. The rest is misleading.
Leftism could be defined, in fact, by its relationship with power. The Left and normal people (particularly conservatives) have different relationships with power. The Left covets it and, failing to truly understand it, always abuses it. Conservatives don't.

Woke is not dead. 🧵

It's very tempting to say "Woke is dead" in the wake of the tremendous victory of Donald Trump in the American election this year, but nothing is further from the truth. Those of us who understand Leftism know this and how Woke will move in the coming years.
Leftism is diabolical. It doesn't die; it changes forms and tactics. Dark arts are never defeated, though they can be blocked.

Leftism is dialectical. The dialectic never retreats. The dialectic only progresses. It takes advantage of whatever circumstances it has to gain power.
The election of President Trump represents a significant victory in this particular war against Woke Marxist ideology and Woke ideology more broadly, and it may significantly close down the federal apparatus to it's hand, or at least force it to change its appearance and form.

You've heard the saying "you don't have to care about politics, but politics cares about you." That's even more true for political warfare. You may not care about political warfare, but these days, political warfare definitely cares about you. There are psyops everywhere.
Because of mass media, the internet, and social media, at least for the time being, you live on a political warfare battlefield. You have very little choice in this matter, and whether you're a innocent bystander or an active combatant, you are by default a combatant in it.
I want you to take this description very seriously. You are a combatant in a global political warfare firefight whether you want to be or not, outside of some very difficult and narrow exceptions. That's because political warfare isn't like conventional warfare. It's everywhere.

After having given it some thought, I've decided to put a super-mega-thread of my recommendations for the new administration's Department of Education, et cetera. Given how these things go, I expect this will make at least everybody mad, but welcome to the jungle. 🧵🧵🧵
1) The Department of Education must be abolished before Trump's term ends, but there's a functional contradiction in this first priority. A department that doesn't exist cannot actually do anything, so it's unclear what any of the Trump Administration's ambitions in education would even mean.

The primary power over education the federal government has is monetary, but if the Department of Education shuts down, the executive apparatus for directing federal moneys in education disappears as does the executive power base for influencing education. Some decisions have to be made, then: federal or state control of education, and when?

Simply shutting the Department of Education down on Day 1 would be a serious mistake. The string-tied federal money in education is all authorized by legislation in Congress's purview, and the legislation authorizing that money and enabling its strings would not end just because the Department of Education ended. That all has to be dealt with.

If the Department ends with money (and strings) still authorized, other departments (like Treasury, and?) would have to pick up the slack, scattering the education functions around, across, and through the executive branch, making it harder to fix. The Department is also ideally poised to facilitate the process of Congress undoing much of this legislation.

In the meantime, the Department can use what power it has, even as it sunsets itself, to repair many of the most outrageous issues in education as it currently exists, which are numerous. This would allow a transition period in which states are pulled into better educational priorities and commitments before they're given full educational autonomy.

The only practical solution, then, is that the Department of Education must be wound down, not simply abolished. Its eventual abolition should be a priority it communicates to the American people and to Congress, who should have a bill prepared for it at the right time.

I would in theory recommend a two-year timeline to establish and accomplish its mission and close its own doors, but the midterms are a concern, meaning a three-year timeline might be smarter and more politically viable.

This approach cannot become an excuse to perpetuate the Department and "use the One Ring." A clear shutdown timeline with benchmarks should be planned and communicated from the start, and Department actions should only be taken such that they are consistent with the overall agenda of closing the Department down completely by the planned deadline.

Fwiw, I have recommended that Tiffany Justice from Moms four Liberty serve in the role of Secretary of Education as described above. She should have the patriotic honor of terminating the awful department in her tenure. She understands the assignment and represents the largest coalition of parents and their interests this country has ever known. That's big outsider energy of exactly the right kind.
2) The United Nations, UNESCO, International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), and other global NGOs need to have no influence on American education whatsoever. If you don't understand that the Woke education in Alaska looks just like the Woke education in New Jersey looks just like the Woke education in Kenya, you need to get with the program: this is a global initiative in education, not an American one. That needs to end from the first possible day.

I recommend full withdrawal from all these global(ist) education initiatives—including Education for Global Citizenship, SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in education, Education for Sustainable Development, and Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), not to mention any vestiges of Common Core–derived from the UNESCO World Core curriculum.

To effect this, not only should there be a deliberate withdrawal, etc., from official relationships with these organizations, all school districts in their own relationships with these organizations should have to disclose that information clearly and publicly.
