Unwoke Roundup Week 14: April 2-8, 2023
Supporter perks are at the bottom of the newsletter. Support my work to join us for private, unrecorded zoom calls, and movie night!
Some big changes came to the Substack this week, with most of my articles moving forward being behind a paywall.
If you would like to continue to access all of my content, please consider a $5/month or $50/year subscription.
If you can’t financially support my efforts, please consider sharing my work with your friends and family to spread the message. I can’t do it without you.
PAID SUPPORTER PERKS
If you are already paid subscriber on Substack, you can find your links to this week’s supporter perks at the bottom of this post - that helps me put them behind a paywall. This week’s perks are:
Movie night in the Supporter Discord tonight (Sunday) at 8pm eastern. This week, we’re watching The Legend of Billie Jean.
Two private, unrecorded supporter zoom calls on Monday evening and Wednesday afternoon.
If you are a supporter on another platform like Locals or Patreon, you can find the perk information on that platform.
What a week!
There’s so much to catch up on.
Before I jump into the content and resources I created for you this week, I want to tell you about two special events I have coming up this coming week.
Wednesday is my birthday (and the best birthday present you can give me is by becoming a paid subscriber on this site!). I will be turning 29 years old for the 14th time.
I joke that April is my month of narcissism, and this year I’m celebrating my birthday with a free webinar called “Embrace Your Inner Narcissist”
It’s totally free to sign up for…but if you want to make a donation as a birthday gift, I’ve given you that option. I’m doing this in conjunction with my site The Art of the Trigger, a satirical self-help website with real self-help. The content in the webinar is real and will help you…even if the presentation itself is a bit tongue-in-cheek.
And then the following day on Thursday, I’ll be holding my next workshop in the Unwoke Your Work series called Love Your Leadership Style.
Everyone can be a leader. This workshop will teach you about your personal leadership strengths and where you might have some challenges so that you can learn to overcome them.
This workshop is all about the psychology of leadership, with no politics allowed. It’s part of my effort to get all my industrial/organizational psychology programs online so that people can access non-woke personal and professional development resources. Learn more about the workshop and register here.
I hope that you will be able to join me for one or both of these events! Now, let’s get into the materials I created for you this past week.
If you missed why I put up a paywall on this Subtack, I explained why here. The TLDR is that I got tired of other content creators stealing my original journalist and ideas and using them to build their platforms without crediting me. If they want to steal my work, they can at least pay me for it.
I also discussed why in this video, if you’d prefer to watch instead of read.
I offered an argument for why school choice will not save the public schools, even if it’s a good first step towards the necessary end result.
I also gave you a list of talking points that you can use with your friends and family to explain to them why public school is like a prison:
I kicked off the Woke 101 series with an essay about the benefits and drawbacks of being a social media reply guy. The Woke 101 series will get you up to speed on the basics that they don't teach you when you become a soldier in the culture war.
Early in the week, we listened to Disney’s shareholders lay into them regarding the woke direction of the company. It’s amazing, you have to see it.
We also have been working our way through the testimony in the Texas House of Representations regarding the ban on gender modification surgery in minors, with some very disturbing insights gained:
I offered a, perhaps controversial, perspective that I think conservatives are going to create a Drag/Trans Floyd martyr because of the increasingly extreme rhetoric.
Last night for Socialism Saturday, we learned how socialist perceive 21st Century Fascism:
And I covered Elon Musk’s war with Substack in two different articles (here and here) to make sure people understood what was going on.
Over on The Red Pill Diaries, I gave you a peak inside the private beta version of Substack Notes, which sparked the war in the first place.
And over on Unwoke Art, I launched an Unwoke AI Art contest that you are welcome to enter! You can even win prizes.
You can see some of the earlier contest entries here. People are coming up with some cool stuff!!!
And you can head over to the Unwoke Art store to pick up some of my latest designs, including these honoring The Great Leader of the Cultural Revolution.
Whew!!!! That’s a lot.
Hopefully, I’ve convinced you I’m giving you more than enough value for $5/month or $50/year. Let’s get into our supporter perks.
