I wouldn't be doing this if they didn't start.
I'd be making video games or comics and spending time with my baby. It's not like I don't have "better" things to do. I learned "rules for radicals #13" because I had to, not because I wanted to. I reversed it for the same reason.
Rule 13: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. "

Target: Grant LaFleche, Mainstream journalist

Freeze it: Report was misleading, a pattern of bullying

Personalize it: Alicia is being threatened and harassed

Polarize it: Fire him.

Where did I learn this?

I recently referenced Rule 13 in this case:

Target: Mayor Dave Bylsma, Christian conservative

Freeze it: Integrity Commissioner Report

Personalize it: Ed Smith

Polarize it: The Amendments

Time for more #CriticalRaceTheory insanity! This training on "dealing with resistance" was sent out to all faculty and staff of IU. Thread.
Part2: "Microaggressions aren't quite micro in 2020"

Let's take a look at how even the subject of modern dance has been infected with #CriticalRaceTheory from this #StruggleSession at Indiana University. Part 1...
Modern Dance is white supremacy according to #IndianaUniversity dance professor. Part 2:

The Video Breakdown - #LaineyLui Confessional

(or how we can justify #LaineyGossip horrible past).

The bizarre McIntosh/DiAngelo lexicon used is intentionally meant to obfuscate and craft their own narrative.

I'll go through the video and translate what is going on...

At 1:00 pm the show goes on as "RECORDED EARLIER"

i.e. All Questions and #LaineyGossip Answers are carefully written out ahead of time.
