This guy calls himself "World's best Woke interpreter".
Press X to doubt.

In case you haven't been following me long enough to understand why his take is absolute dogshit, @The_WGD succinctly covers at least one reason here. https://twitter.com/The_WGD/status/1297631378851401732
I try not to go too hard on the IDW types because I think they can often act as a gateway to thought outside the Overton Window, but this guy bills himself as the "World's best Woke interpreter" while having at best an ignorant or at worst a maliciously bad interpretation.
Following the advice he posted is more likely to actively harm friendly normies than it is to effectively damage the enemy. https://twitter.com/CoppIsaiah/status/1297663282732503040
Or option 3: Put your head down and safely/anonymously subvert, subtly highlight fracture lines etc.
The game is rigged. There is asymmetry, and thus what works for them is not what works for us. https://twitter.com/CoppIsaiah/status/1297666732014927879

"Anti-Woke" folks have autistically dived into their ideology and pointed out hypocrisy and laid out facts... has that ever, even once, been effective?
James Damore was not THAT long ago. The left gives 0 shits about facts, hypocrisy etc. It's all Will to Power and Who/Whom.

The difference between a sherpa and a gatekeeper is subtle. But this guy not only doesn't seem to recognize the game is rigged (or worse yet, he does), but he's actively telling you to play and giving advice on how to lose faster and harder.
Reads like gatekeeper to me.

His advice is like those who tell you to facef*g. Expose yourself so you can get cut down alone. Terrible Game Theory dynamics at play.
Best off going grey, unless you can safely finesse. Telling normies to come forward is very harmful advice. https://twitter.com/parallaxoptics/status/1297675920292089858?s=20

Furthermore, if your “interpretation” of wokeness goes beyond “fuck you, pay me. White folx is demons”, you’ve already lost.
Everything past that is just fancy rationalizations. And these days it’s more naked than ever, you don’t need to expose a thing.

All the classical liberal takes miss another point: asymmetry. Woke Shit is broadly unpopular and always has been. However, it is functionally illegal in the US to be not Woke as a corporation. They own the media, the academy, the courts, etc. Convincing normies isn’t the issue.
Would anybody be interested in me expanding on some of the themes of this account?
Facts and logic won the day!
Likewise for me. Difference being that I welcome the day wokeness has no power and this account is no longer needed. https://twitter.com/humandalorian/status/1297724252750192640?s=20
Never listen to anybody giving work advice who has never had to interview or work at a real job. https://twitter.com/Blaidd_Idris/status/1297724639733354496?s=20
Mr. Rufo gets it and that’s probably why he’s been effective in the real world at stymying this stuff. Enjoyed your appearance on @TuckerCarlson https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1297724071036166146?s=20
“Martyr yourself, you coward!”
This is why I called him out, this is what I can’t let go. We’ve seen hundreds of martyrs get unpersoned at this point, it does not wake people up, rather it reminds them of who holds Power.

Lindsay et al believe that if people just stopped playing along with the Woke, we'd see a preference cascade and win.
This is what I think Moldbug might call a "beautiful lie". It sounds good, appeals to your civic-religion's sensibilities etc. But it is dangerously misleading.

If you have institutional power, you can and *should* flex like this. When Trump does something, he is a Schelling Point for others to coordinate around.
When random powerless citizen does, there is no such coordination. Get picked off one by one. Huge distinction here.

My critics appeal to your civic religion, tell your that there is no distinction between you and them if you adopt their tools or tactics. A child's Star Wars morality.
This is of course why the allies firebombed Germany with compassion and nuked Japan with reasoned arguments.

Continually cooperating with your enemy while they defect on you is losing. Losing with your principles is NOT noble, but it is religious fanatic behavior.
Lindsay would rather die for his failed religion (Classical Liberalism) than win. I would rather win.

The Geneva Conventions exist between countries who COOPERATE with the Conventions. We do not afford those protections to people who defect on them.
But even this misses the point. The war is already over, and Woke beat Classical Liberalism because only one side was fighting.

So a lot of people are saying, "Woke Cap, what do YOU recommend we do."
Well first things first, have some damn understanding of the situation. Our side lost long ago, and we don't win by donning a uniform and fighting openly, army to army.

Second, understand that as individuals with no institutional power, there isn't that much we CAN do on the macro scale.
Internal exit. Focus locally. Network. Lift. Gather resources. Get married, have kids, homeschool so they don't get indoctrinated like Kellyanne Conway's kid.

Your groups should be explicitly apolitical, implicitly political. So vet well, ruthlessly guard against entryism etc.
Win local elections. MOG the wokef*gs anonymously. Wait until conditions for victory are there. Look for income streams outside Cathedral. Make friends.

Look out for yourself and your family! You have a moral obligation to THEM first and foremost. The Woke Problem is bigger than we are. So is the solution.
Not glamorous advice, but at a minimum I feel comfortable saying that this won't actively harm you. https://twitter.com/plzbepatient/status/1297728488187793409

This is *exactly* correct. You can't reason somebody out of a position they weren't reasoned into.
We're dealing with a stronger hostile enemy religion here in a religious war. Reason has been exposed as an extremely weak idol. https://twitter.com/basedc1/status/1297882289041530880

My friend is less charitable than I am, but a good angle to consider. This is why, as a rule, I don't trust facef*gs -- a few exceptions like @scottmgreer who was doxxed against his will notwithstanding. https://twitter.com/parallaxoptics/status/1297828822352646153
Lindsay may be fine at interpreting what they're saying, but he either can't or won't see second order effects. https://twitter.com/WokeCapital/status/1297913040478904325
Ok I'm done, leaving you with this. https://twitter.com/parallaxoptics/status/1297917369805869056
