As Trump abolishes DEI departments, de-funds woke NGO's and non-profits, and removes woke activists from government, a large group of well trained political and social activists will watch their industry be destroyed, leaving them unemployed with no plausible career path...
2/
Activists, administrators, bureaucrats, and other credentialed members of the professional/institutional social justice left will be left without a job, and a resume that's only suitable for finding work in the very Social-Justice government-NGO complex Trump is shutting down
3/
This means the best trained and most politically extreme leftist organizers are going to be left broke, angry, and unemployed. They will have nothing better to do then street level activism where they can agitate and organize for their social and political revolution full-time
4/
Many laptop class leftists depend entirely on the Social Justice-government-NGO complex.

When you abolish DEI, defund woke NGO's/non-profits, and obliterate the prestige of Social Justice/woke advocacy, you destroy the ability of laptop class leftists to accrue social capital
5/
This leaves laptop class leftists with nothing to lose, and a whole lot of free time.

As such, they will be highly motivated to obtain the political power necessary to rebuild the apparatus that they use to access money, power, prestige, and other forms of social capital.
6/
This will result, I think, in protests, but not the sort of protests we saw 2016- 2020.

In 2020 the leftists were joined by liberal normies (your boomer democrat aunties with pussyhats) and that is why they had such large rallies during those years...

however...
7/
The rallies that are upcoming are going to be comprised almost entirely of disaffected former elites, laptop class leftists, and street activists.

This means that these protest will be much smaller, but will also be much more ideologically distilled....
8/
That is, they will not be like the 2016 women's marches where the goal is to get huge numbers, nor will they have unhinged violence as in 2020

These protests will have a very focused ideological edge, use very refined tactics, and will be more disciplined than 2020.
9/
This will be because the people attending will be trained activists, credentialed professionals in DEI fields and from NGO's, and other laptop class creatives.

These people are trained to protest in ways which are incredible disruptive without crossing into illegality.
10/
The result will be a series of protests which are intended to be maximally disruptive without being illegal, while at the same time presenting a united ideological front.

This will be a far more disciplined, organized, and ideologically focused left that will emerge.
11/
This means protests that disrupt traffic without stopping it, that disrupt work without breaking laws, stuff that gets in people faces without actually crossing into violence, etc.

It also means very focused professional messaging that will look "street" and "spontaneous".
12/
The leftists are scattered, they are losing, they are demoralized.

But this is not the end because the woke are not just going to go away, so get ready.

The left is demoralized and exhausted, but they are not going away and will try to maintain their hold on cultural, education, and government institutions.

This is what happened in the 80's. Reagan won, but the left took over universities, schools, and cultural institutions.
2/
The fact that the right had won a significant political victory only made the left more desperate to take over the social institutions that make up our society.

So they went about taking over our colleges, universities, public schools, accreditation boards, and so fourth.
3/
The result was that even while it looked like the right was winning, the left was putting themselves in a position to control all of societies knowledge production and legitimizing institutions.

They made themselves the gate-keepers of respectable opinion.

The left owned our cultural institutions (Journalism, televsion, advertising, Universities, entertainment, social media, medicine, publishing, non-profits/NGO's, education, government) and used them to flood the culture with anti-trump messaging for a decade.

Trump still won.🧵
They spent a decade using a vertically integrated messaging apparatus to run anti-Trump messaging in every inch of the culture, 24/7, for a decade, while censoring, deboosting, suppressing anyone who pushed back against their extreme leftist ideas.

Trump still won.
The left had complete control of the institutions of:
1. cultural production (movies, music, books, magazines, art,)
2. knowledge production (universities, public schools, academic journals, scientific journals, accreditation bodies, colleges of education)

Trump still won.

In 2012 a weird form of identity politics mixed with "social justice" emerged from academia and used social media to take over of journalism, the Arts and culture industry, NGO's, Non-profits, news media, and the government; and used that power to censor the rest of society....
Then, for the next decade, anybody who thought men and women are different, believed kids can't pick their gender, or judged people by character rather than race, was driven out of our societies institutions by mobs of online social activists screaming social justice slogans.
A group of social activists, moral entrepreneurs, and grifters, used their dominance of our social institutions and their influence online to create what amounts to a social and economic death star that they aimed at the reputation and social standing of anyone who opposed them.

Christianity began to recede because the plausibility of its claims had been degraded on multiple fronts by attacks from both postmodernism and secular humanism.

Part of what @jordanbpeterson has done is restore the plausibility of the Christian understanding of the world.
@PaulVanderKlay has been saying that @jordanbpeterson has been excising the spirit of secular materialism from the culture.

I agree with that, but what interests me is the way Peterson has done this. It isn't by providing a point by point refutation of Dawkins style atheism...
@PaulVanderKlay @jordanbpeterson Rather, what he has been doing is a revivification of Christianity by rehabilitating the underlying the worldview and understanding of the way he world works. You can see this quite clearly in his recent conversation with Andrew Huberman (@hubermanlab)....

Gr00ming gangs, puberty blockers for kids, and men in women's sports all have one thing in common:

Our legal, medical, and media institutions covered up predatory sexual behavior and sacrificed the safety of women and children on the altar of advancing leftist political ideology
Telling the truth about these things would have shattered Critical Social Justice (woke) narratives like "trans-kids," "Puberty blockers are reversible," and "all cultures are inherently equal."

So instead of telling the truth, they covered things up to protect their narrative.
These people don't change their beliefs to fit reality, they think reality must be changed to fit their leftist politics.

And they think that reality is infinitely malleable and society is "socially constructed" and therefore can be remade to fit their political ideology.

Today's fight shows the coalition between tech and MAGA is uneasy.

MAGA sees HB-1 visas get abused in order to drive down wages and want to end the HB-1 visa.

Tech doesn't want to lose high level talent thinks HB-1 visa's are needed.

Here's how to thread this needle...🧵
2/
For starters, MAGA doesn't trust the government or corporations on immigration

They think open borders people will game the system by handing out HB-1 visa's like candy

This concern must be addressed. To do this, the government must:

A) stop the flood of illegal immigration
3/
B) Create a robust deportation policy, rigorpusly enforced, that deports illegal immigrants (including visa over-stayers, illegal border crossers, fraudsters.....all of them)

When this is done, and is working effectively, then you can address the concerns of tech people...
