Repeat after me:

People who celebrate the murder of their political opponents are not participating in the marketplace of ideas, they are encouraging deadly political violence by building a permission structure to legitimize and justify the murder of those they disagree with. My freedom of speech means I get to clearly and succintly explain to the whole world that if you call for the assassination of your rivals this is not free speech, it is a direct incitement to political violence.

 The Radical Left has used political violence to advance their cause for decades. What's new is the progressive left's professional class building a permission structure to justify the use of political violence

It's called Assassination Culture, and we need to talk about it
🧵 2/
 To understand what's happening, you need to understand that the line between progressive-left professional class and radical left has been blurred. The extremist radical left and the socially progressive "bluesky left" are increasingly intertwined both socially and politically

Look at the number of pro-athletes posting condolences about Charlie Kirk, and you'll see what a huge cultural figure he was.

He wasn't just famous in conservative circles, his clips debating college students were a loadbearing pillar of online political pop-culture His willingness to calmly and politely debate all comers on any issue (at the very moment when cancel culture was strongest and people were afraid to say what they think) made him a sort of lovable internet folkhero.

He was an indelible piece of the online landscape.

What he is describing here is the deconstruction of America as an ideal. The goal is to destroy America by subverting the conception of America as a force for good which sustains American confidence, and attacking the founding narrative from which America derives it's legitimacy. They will try to redefine America in a way which subverts the legitimacy of America as a national project. They want to erase the current American narrative, and replace it with a new one which grants them the right to inherit America's wealth, power, prestige, and influence.

 Afew thoughts on this

The article Doreen St Felix wrote for the New Yorker was as racist as the tweet @realchrisrufo dug up; it was just more subtle.

Had she repudiated those old views it would be a different story, but that New Yorker article was doubling down... 2/
 on racist resentment against white people and racialist identity politics, complete with the racist stereotyping.

This shows a continuity of thinking over a period of a decade, and there has been no take back, or explanation for the disgustingly racist tweets she made.

The left gets away with violence because it has the capacity to memory hole and cover up all it's violent behavior.

For example, from 1971-1972 leftists carried out 5 bombings per day, every day. By the end they carried out more than 3000 bombings.

And nobody remembers... Image
Image
Image
Image And many people who did that would be welcomed into mainstream leftists politics.

IE: Susan Rosenberg helped a communist group bomb the Capitol building in 1983-for which she was convicted.

She went on to sit on the board of the parent organization for Black Lives Matter. Image

The game being played by the "sex is a spectrum" people is to engage in a sleight of hand between the ontological question (what makes this thing what it is), epistemological question (how do we know this thing when we see it), and linguistic question (how do we define the word) The tactic is to attack the definition by blurring the lines between the primary features that make the object what it is and define its function and the secondary features we use as proxy's for identifying the object when we encounter it "in the wild".

 Leftist activism uses exactly this dynamic as a strategy. The goal is to create hot-takes that generate enormous outrage (IE: Syndey Sweeney ads are fascist) which bait people into reacting by writing response pieces or by dunking on it

This spreads the hot-take everywhere... 2/
 By using the negative engagement and dunking as free advertising, the leftists is able to provoke more outrage.

They repeat this process until people have outrage fatigue, and the hot take no longer provokes strong reactions, and stating the hot-take no longer causes outrage.

If you hang around leftist circles enough you'll hear the "nazi bar" parable, and this explains how they think about everything.

They don't see themselves as part of being a social movement based on highly controversial and hotly disputed ideas... Image ...Leftists think their moral values, and social views are just uncontroversial expressions of what is morally right, and leftism is just what you get when everyone is "being kind" and "being a good person."

In their heads, they are the regular crowd at the bar.

The claim that it is an undue burder to ask women to put any effort at all into their relationships with men is a load bearing pillar of woke feminism.

This paper claims that asking women to interpret what men say is a form of "hermeneutic labor" which harms women. Image The paper argues that hermeneutic labor is the emotionally taxing requirement that women should interpreting what men say and how they feel. It also argues that women act as men's therapists by telling men how they feel, and that women do all the relationship maintenance. Image

 This "government teacher" doesn't know when America was founded, won't teach students the official curriculum, and teaches kids about activism, anti-racism, and Black Lives Matter.

Woke teachers took over K-12 education and the get funded by grants like these,

A Thread🧵 2/
 The entire education system is full of activists, professors, and teachers who believe teaching is a political act, and Social Justice (AKA: woke ideology) should be the foundation of all learning and education.

Many of them are funded by the grants Murkowski wants to protect

 The U.S. Government Accountability Office was designed to be a non-partisan watchdog that Audits government for waste, fraud, and abuse.

However, the GAO has been captured by progressives who are using it to advance to advance their political ideology.

And I have receipts.🧵 Image

Image 2/
 The job of the GAO is to hold government institutions accountable for the way they spend money and carry out their mission. That is, the GAO doesn't decide what policies get implemented, it makes sure the policies government passes get implemented, whatever those happen to be.

 In March this guy farmed 11 million views and 20K RT's by saying an "RFK blackmail story is breaking from multiple angles," while vaguely insinuating the CIA and Pfizer were involved and regurgitating widely available information.

And he hasn't tweeted about it since march... Image 2/
 His whole game is to take widely available information dug up by other people and use it as a pretext to suggest that various events are caused by powerful interests who "pull the strings," and then make vague and unfalsifiable insinuations regarding who the string pullers are

I don't think the left realizes the degree to which giving puberty blockers and sex-changes to kids who wanted to change genders was a test of moral and intellectual integrity, and that test utterly destroyed the moral and intellectual credibility of everyone who failed it. The people who went along with gender ideology didn't just end up on the wrong side of public opinion, they demonstrated for the whole world that they had no intellectual integrity, moral fortitude, and no ability to stand up for the truth or think for themselves.

Woke leftists think people's conscious beliefs are determined by their cultural environment, so whoever controls the content of the culture controls the consciousness of the masses.

They want to control culture so they can control thought, which is basically the game they're in. They think everyones views are socially/culturally determined; programmed into them by social forces of which they are unaware. Of course, the leftists never think their own views are just culturally determined, or that they have been programmed to be leftists.

 This quote from Chase Strangio (ACLU's transgender lawyer) is a nice example of how the woke left fully adopted the views of the 60's counterculture.
They really believe things like "being trans" are a threat to "the system," and cultural rebellion will lead to revolution. Image 2/
 The woke left and the 1960's counterculture had the same underlying worldview that said the entire culture is a system of ideology that maintains power by brainwashing the masses and socially conditioning people to accept the legitimacy of "the system" and their place in it.

 There is no split on the right.

Almost all of the MAGA base is with Trump and they support Israel over Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Mullah's.

The Israel obsessed crowd and their anti-Semitic fellow travelers are a tiny minority and their influence is a mirage. 2/
 MAGA is 77 million Trump voters, almost none of them care about the ideas of the dissident right (alt-right, woke-right,) online influencers. Trumps base is not turning on him and siding with Iranian Islamic terrorists just so online influencers can own the Israeli's...

The riots happening in LA are not organic or spontaneous.

They're designed to look chaotic to cover up the fact that they're well funded, exceptionally organized, and carried out by well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.

Here's a primer: Image
Image
Image
Image 2/
 First, notice the protestors have shields (pic 1)

These types of shields were used by the 2024 pro-Hamas rioters (pic 2), and 2020 BLM rioters (pic 3)

Each shield takes 3 hours to make, and activists spend all day making them (pic 4) That's not spontaneous, it takes planning Image

In the Trump/Elon dispute Elon represents fiscal reality, Trump represents Political reality.

Elon knows the Unite States is headed toward financial collapse caused by its debt, Trump knows voters will never accept the spending cuts and tax hikes needed to solve the debt crisis. Elon is correct that the United States 36 TRILLION dollar debt will eventually crush the American economy and eat it's budget.

Trump is correct that voters will never accept the tax hikes or spending cuts (especially social security and medicare cuts) needed to pay off the debt.

I think society is returning to the desert of the real.

The social narratives which animated people's lives have lost their power and are dying, and the counter-movements they spawned will (eventually) die alongside them.

We are now living in a decaying hyper-reality... Baudrillard said we're so saturated in representations and images from mass media (T.V., Movies, books, social media, etc) that images become more salient to us and matter more then the real world, so artificial representations become more "real" to us then actual reality itself.

 Woke activists bully people by using social pressure. They publicly shame and attack people to make them feel like all of society is rejecting them.

See the photo below? They want people feel like all of society is doing that to them.

So, Call-outs

A Thread🧵 Image 2/
 Call-Outs and Cancel Culture are related but different. Cancel culture tries to get people fired or de-platformed as a way to punish them economically and professionally in order to silence them.

It uses economic and professional punishment to make people fall in line.
