How did we end up with these massive, unreadable omnibus bills in Congress?

Let’s break it down. 🧵 Omnibus bills are huge legislative packages that combine unrelated provisions into one bill. They often span thousands of pages. Most members of Congress can't/don’t read them before voting.

Insane.

I’ve seen various content claiming that “Woke Right” is a stupid name because “Woke” just means “awakened to and forwarding critiques of social power."

Woke is much more than that. I can't tell if they still don't know that, or they're aware...

Let's define "Woke" again.

🧵 “Critical Constructivism” is the technical term for Woke. “Critical” for the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt school and offshoots (there’s a million “critical theories” now, Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory being the ones people are most familiar with).

This Woke Right conspiracy theory is a very compelling narrative based on a lot of truth that it distorts to its own purposes.

This is one of their central arguments, as I see it, presented without personal comment. Feedback welcome.

The “post-war liberal consensus."

🧵 After World War II, the Allies wanted to prevent another Nazi Germany situation. They wanted to combat the rise of one or more powerful and aggressive hyper religious, nationalistic, and ethnocentric nations.

Both the Woke Left and Woke Right destroy to build. The Woke Left aims to construct a communist future of "social justice." The Woke Right seeks to restore an idealized past of order and tradition, their own version of fascist "social justice."

They mirror:

🧵 The Woke Right targets the Woke Left, but its real enemy is Liberalism. The WR frame the WL as an extension of Liberalism. Liberalism, with its commitment to individual rights, constitutional governance, and universal principles, is their antagonist.

How Woke works in plain language.

1. Awaken to "the truth"
2. Claim Victimhood Status
3. Argue your insight is infallible because of your "positionality" within the power hierarchy
4. Demand/coerce your way to illegitimate power
5. Destroy anyone in your way
6. Utopia

🧵 1. Every woke movement begins with an "epiphany" that reveals how society really works. This truth is framed as hidden from the masses, accessible only to those who are enlightened or brave enough to see it.

Some of the clearest evidence of communism’s failures comes from countries that split, with one side embracing free markets and the other falling to communism.

There are multiple examples: Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Yemen, and China/Taiwan.

Let’s look at the outcomes. 🧵 Germany

After WWII, Germany split into East (communist) and West (market-oriented).

West Germany became an industrial powerhouse, with one of the highest standards of living in the world.

East Germany stagnated, with poverty, misery, and mass emigration.

Tyranny is rarely imposed by brute force. It's often opt-in.

Let’s revisit the Tea Act of 1773 and the Boston Tea Party to see how tyranny disguised itself as “choice.”

🧵 The Tea Act didn’t impose new taxes but kept the existing tea tax from the Townshend Acts. It allowed the East India Company to sell directly to colonists, bypassing merchants. This made tea cheaper, but the real price was this: colonial consent to British taxation.

I'm told "Woke is dead." If that's the case, what has been done about the Corporate Equality Index (CEI)?

Let’s talk about the CEI—where it came from, who created it, how it works, and why it’s a tool for mandating Woke in your business.

A thread. 🧵


The CEI was created by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in 2002.

The HRC is one of the largest LGBTQ+ advocacy groups in the U.S.

But the CEI isn’t about advocacy in the traditional sense—it’s about compliance.

Corporate compliance.

In 2017, James Damore wrote a memo titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber.”

In that memo, Damore argued that men and women are, on average, different. He was fired for it.

A 🧵 Google had recently started dropping "Diversity Reports" in 2014. These reports revealed that there was a large "sex gap" in Google's lucrative engineering roles.

Google assumed that this sex gap was caused by sexism; in personnel, in policy, in practice, etc.

Why did Jaguar do the thing?
Why did Harley do the thing?

Why is every company doing the thing and alienating their consumer bases-- bases they understand more than they understand themselves?

Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG)

A 🧵 ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. It's a framework used to measure a corporation's impact on society and the environment. Sounds harmless, right? Nope.

Ok. I asked A.I. to give me the rundown on seed oils.

Yikes!

🧵 Seed oils are vegetable oils extracted from seeds like soybean, sunflower, corn, cottonseed, and canola. They dominate modern diets, but their history, production, and health impacts are eye-opening. Here's everything you need to know.

The US Department of Education (USDOE) was established in 1979, bringing unprecedented federal oversight to American schools. This shift centralized control of education and created The One Ring to rule them all.

A 🧵 The story starts with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. This act aimed to reduce educational disparities by directing federal funds to low-income schools, effectively increasing the federal government’s leverage in K-12 education.

We need to talk about this.

The biggest issue in helping people realize how corrupt our institutions have become is language. Unless an organization comes out and says, "We're practicing Critical Race Theory," people struggle to identify the rot.

DEI is the tip of the 🧊

It was a tremendous amount of work to help people understand that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is something that breaks institutions; something that eliminates color-blind meritocracy in favor of identity-based redistribution and endless Woke accommodation.

Ten Stages of Woke "Social" Genocide.

We're in the "denial" stage now. This could have (and still could) turn material in a heartbeat.

1. Classification
Society is divided into groups based on identity politics. People are categorized by race, gender, sexuality, or perceived privilege, creating a rigid hierarchy of oppression.

Most people don't realize they're in the middle of a war. They don't realize it because they're victims of 5th-Generation Political Warfare.

The election is one week away, so let's understand 5GPW:

🧵 5GW focuses on psychological manipulation, targeting perceptions and altering reality for the targeted population. It's not about defeating the enemy on some physical battlefield but controlling their understanding of the conflict itself.

Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB informant, warned about ideological subversion as a long-term strategy to destabilize a target society. Subversion includes psychological warfare and cultural takeover. Yuri described four stages of the subversion process: Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis, and Normalization. Each stage gradually weakens a nation's ideological and institutional foundations.

In psychological warfare, the goal is to manipulate public perception through targeted psychological operations (PSYOPs) to achieve strategic outcomes. @RobertMSterling just had a great post about this.

Operation Heil Mary is in full effect. This is what it's looking like: Trump is linked to Hitler through repeated messaging. Repetition is a well-known propaganda technique that ingrains an idea in the public's mind.

They've done this to him forever, but the goal is to have this message be the last thing in the voter's mind at the booth.

Tonight, for no reason at all, it makes sense to explain desperation.

For fun, and for no particular reason, let's look at what desperation might look like for a politician losing a race.

🧵 They'll make erratic decisions.

Desperate people often make hasty or impulsive choices, abandoning long-term strategies for immediate relief.

Yesterday we covered Rules for Radicals. Today we cover Beautiful Trouble, an updated set principles for a new generation.

Here's 18 principles you should be aware of.

The election is two weeks away. Understand the playbook and keep your wits about you!

🧵 1. "Brand or be branded"—If you don’t control your narrative, others will. “If you decline to brand yourself, you leave an opening for other people — including enemies — to brand you instead”

As we enter the final weeks before the election, it's a good time to remind everyone of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

There is potential for a lot of radicalism with either election outcome. Have your wits about you by understanding the playbook.

🧵 "Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have." Perception is crucial; make your opponent overestimate your resources.

Fun fact, btw: The book is dedicated to Lucifer.

Critical Constructivism argues that knowledge is constructed by those in power. In this frame, if Jews are seen as the dominant power group, a critical constructivist epistemology would argue that modern knowledge and cultural narratives are constructed to serve their interests. Through this lens, one might question the liberal values of secularism, human rights, and democracy as constructs designed by those in power to maintain control. Liberalism, under *critical* scrutiny, is revealed as a system that ultimately steers society toward communism.
