Want to know how Woke activists take over buildings, smash windows, trash university campuses, and still have the press call them "non-violent"?

Well, as it turns out these are well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.

Here's a primer:





2/
First off: none of this is spontaneous.

IE: The protestors in the video going around have shields. (pic 1)

In 2020 we learned these shields can take hours to make and are made by volunteers working all day. You don't do that spontaneously. It takes planning. (pics 2 +3)

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:

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.

1/
Woke "Social Justice" activists have hijacked and weaponized public health!

The CDC and the American Public Health Association made a Climate Change manual about putting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into everything they do.

The Woke healthcare takeover,

A Thread🧵



2/
Critical Social Justice (AKA "woke") activists take over organizations in order to use them as vehicles for spreading woke ideology.

This is why the APHA and the CDC, which is supposed to focus on health, has pages focused Social Justice, Racism, Climate Change, and Equity.

1/
The current campus protests are not actually about, Israel, Palestine, war, or any other concrete issue.

They exist to recruit members, create activists, and train leaders as part of the process of "MOVEMENT BUILDING."

Lee Staples Explains this in "Roots to Power."👇

2/
Leftists don't pick up issues because they want to solve problems. They only pick up issues they can use todevelop leaders, train activists, and grow their "Grassroots Community Organizations."
For the left, solving the problem isn't the point....the point is to get power.

The ex-CEO of wikimedia, said a free and open internet is a "White Male westernized construct." Now She's CEO of NPR and is paid with your tax dollars to decide what information people see on NPR.

Woke activists hijacked every government institution.

Let's talk about how🧵

The first thing to realize is that this is not a isolated case. Let's look at some examples:

Kelisa Wing was a Pentagon official in charge of DEIn for the Defense Department’s schools. She gets paid to brainwash people with DEI while taking sarcastic shots at white people.

1/
@realchrisrufo is 100% correct.

The incentive structure of the online attention economy is optimized for conflict. As such, there is no way for a purely online movement to obtain the stability required for long term political success.

We need a new way forward...

2/
We need is a method of conflict resolution that allows us to settle disputes and also disincentivizing conflict as a strategy for engagement.

I suggest the creation of an online conservative journal, centered on online discourse, that allows factions to argue their case...

1/
I have seen the New York piece about the @hubermanlab and I want to briefly comment.

I speak here as a Christian FWIW.

The correct way to deal with interpersonal moral failings is not to publish the sin of a man in public as a form of humiliation. That isn't right. 2/
IF someone sins against you then, if it is possible to do so safely, you should go to that person directly. IF they repent, apologize, and change, then you have won the person over and addressed the matter. IF this works, you have won them over, and brought repentance...

The key word to understand when it comes to wokeness is **SUBVERT**

Woke activists destroy what they don't like (truth, facts, the constitution, etc) by SUBVERTING them.

That is, the woke undercut the power and authority of institutions and concepts they don't like. The goal is never to show that a thing is bad, and idea is wrong, or an institution is not doing it's job. Rather, the goal is to try to obliterate the social and moral authority of the idea, goal concept, etc in order to delegitimize that idea, goal, concept, etc.

1/
I never want to hear another word from this @kkdumez about saving democracy, or cynicism in politics.

The people that she has joined with here, particularly Rick Wilson are the most utterly nihilistic, dishonest, self-interest and Cynical people in all of politics: right or left.

Let's demonstrate this with a few words directly from Rick Wilson

🧵 2/
Rick Wilson says, we're in a culture war, and the way to win is not dialogue or discussion: it's through the use of emotion and spectacle.

he says that when someone says they worry about CRT, you don't discuss facts, you say "they're using the N-word"

That's a direct quote👇

1/
"The very people in charge of disseminating education and challenging young minds have completely abandoned that task and are now wholesale focused on promoting this ideology."

@joerogan is right: woke activists hijacked education so they could indoctrinate kids.

A thread🧵 2/
In his book "The Critical Turn in Education" education professor Isaac Gottesman explains how leftist activists brought Marxism into universities and radicalized the field of education in the 70's. They wanted to put Marxism into the foundation of American education.

1/
This is exactly correct:

Queer theory doesn't just want to destroy *some* rules, norms or socual conventions ablut what is normal...Queer theory want to **abolish the legitimacy to social normitivity itself**

This is HUGE point.

https://twitter.com/VinesMatthew/status/1762944469777752433

2/
Normativity is the idea that some behaviours are good, appropriate and proper so society should make those behaviours *normal*

As @VinesMatthew explains here, queer theory *opposes the very idea of normativity itself* and thus opposes the legitimacy of ANY social norms at all

1/
Christian conservatives often get accused of trying to force their worldview on other people.

But here Tim Keller explains beautifully how secular progressives decided to impose their ideology and worldview on society.

A brief thread🧵 2/
The problem here is a problem of values neutrality. It goes like this:

"Governments must enforce laws, adjudicate civil disputes, and keep order, but that requires set of values to determine which laws pass, how to adjudicate disputes, and what kind of order to keep."

So...

In postmodernism, the goal of news commentary is not to add context or explain how events actuslly unfolded.

The goal of news commentary is to provide the most morally satisfying interpretation of events as a way to validating a worldview by demonstrating its explanatory power. Various groups are battling over whose worldview our society will use to interpret and understand what is going on in the world.

News commentary is not about getting the facts right: it is a battle over HOW facts are interpreted and what conclusions will be drawn from the facts.

Alberta Parental Rights bill:

-Bans gender transition surgery for 17 and under, and hormone therapy for under 16

-requiers parental notification for changing pronouns/names for 16-17. Parental notification and consent required for 15 and under

-mandates womens only sports

This bill is the furthest that any bill in Canada has gone in the service of protecting children from the medicalized harms and butchery of the trans-gender industry.

That this has been proposed in Canada is a HUGE step forward and shows that the tide is beginning to turn.

The left is using a strategy called "The Real Action is your Targets Reaction."

The goal is to provoke you into over-reacting sothe left can film your over-reaction and use it to justify their next power play.

The rule here is "The first one to overplay their hand loses."

https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1751315328481599729

You are in a narrative war.

This current situation is a test of the political rights' ability to exercise self-discipline

The left wants you to do *ANYTHING* that looks scarey so they can film it, put it on TV and turn the country against you.

Do not give them this ammunition.

And Trans-cult propaganda not just on twitter/x. It's disseminated via the vertically integrated messaging aparatus. As such, todays Kids are inundated with pro-trans propaganda that's been brought into classrooms, education, books, and television shows by radical woke activists.

Not only that, but the health care system has been taken over by trans-ideology the the point where you can get diagnosed as trans in under and hour, and get a sex change surger after only 2 appointments.

Theae books all turn the exact same trick:

They seek to undermine the moral authority and social standing of conservatives by attacking their motives and destroying thsir credibility.

All of these books make that exact same move.

A breif thread🧵

https://twitter.com/JoshDaws/status/1747665252118827078

What these books all do is to cynically read conservative theology, doctrine, and moral claims through a political lens, and then conclude that all of conservative theologt, doctrine, and moral claims are *really* just a mask for the exercise of self-interested power.

The left will deny that the disasters, problems, and close calls we see are caused by using DEI to hire pilots, engineers, and air-traffic controllers.

At the same time they will use those disasters, problems, and close calls as an excuse to begin restricting air travel.

https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1746297410605756625

This is a classic move where the left implements some idea that makes a mess of things (IE: using DEI to hire pilots and engineers), and then uses the mess they created (look at the crashes!) as a pretense to grab more power for themselves in the name of "cleaning this mess up."

1/
The woke and the dissident right both accept the same fundamental axioms about culture, language, identity, and power. However, they have different value sets and axioms so they end up with radically different conclusions.

They also proceed using similar argumentative tatics 2/
One such tactic is to refuse to lay out, in any rigorous way, their arguments. They simply state a few selected facts, and then hint, suggest, imply, and insinuate that there is an obvious conclusion to be drawn, and that by not drawing that conclusion you are playing dumb.

1/
There's an element of @realchrisrufo's strategy no one has picked up on yet. It's this:

Almost nobody outside universities reads academic papers, so the papers radical activist professors write in which they defend absurd ideas don't get read by the general public.

So... 2/
Leftist acadenics are free to use academic journals to advance their social and political goals in the academy and no one notices because no one outside the academy reads it.

This dynamic allows leftist profs to make absurd claims on behalf of leftist dogma and pay no price.

1/
The issue here is that radical leftists are running a motte and bailey game with DEI.

They use the very reasonable position @mcuban outlines as their motte, and one they gain power they abolish merit hiring, use hiring quotas, and require the adoption of leftist politics.

https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/1743332724889280726

2/
Further, the adoption of particular political positions is very often made a condition of hiring. This usually takes the form of requiring employees to sign mandatory diversity statements containing loaded political language. Other times the demand is simply implicit...
