Unwoke Roundup Week 7: February 12-February 18, 2023
Catch up on anything you may have missed.
The Unwoke Roundup is a weekly summary of my work, just in case you’ve missed anything, and lets you know anything special I have planned for next week. If you appreciate what I do, I hope you’ll support it.
This month, I have a goal of getting 50 new paid subscribers on Substack. If you appreciate my work, please consider a $5/month or $50/year subscription.
And if you can’t support my work financially, please share it with your friends and family. 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.
Become a paid supporter to join us for our weekly movie night tomorrow in the supporter Discord, or our two private calls we do each week on Monday and Wednesday.
If you are a supporter on another platform, you can find the information on that platform.
What a week!!!
Is it just me or does it seem like this year is flying by already? That usually happens when there’s a lot going on in the world.
I want to encourage everyone that, no matter how crazy the world gets, please make sure you are taking the time to focus your energy on the positive.
Moving forward, I’m going to be making an effort to provide spaces and interactions to encourage optimism, empowerment, and personal resiliency. The world is so negative that we need to counterbalance it. Don’t give in! We need to discuss hard topics to come up with solutions, but that does not mean we have to let the darkness consume us.
Here’s the unwoke content I created for you this week.
We went inside a training from the Transgender Training Institute…and when they found out we were watching, they canceled their own training.
I shared with you a concrete example of you can use anytime someone tries to convince you that investing more money in the public schools will fix the problems - here is proof that is not the case.
I told you upfront that there is a group of people that are openly forming a cancel mob against me. I suspect they will try to “expose” me with tweets/clips cut out of context, as they always do. As always, I do not bend the knee to a mob, nor do I apologize for things that I did not do or that I do not believe are wrong. If you hear anything crazy about me, I’m happy to answer your questions if they are asked in good faith.
I shared the story of far-left trans activists getting upset over the trans character in the new Harry Potter video game. You won’t believe what got them outraged!
I’ve always discussed that woke exists on the political right just like it does on the political left - it’s about authoritarianism over all else. I wrote this piece to demonstrate how woke is taking over the influencers on the right, and how it’s no better just because it’s coming from a different political tribe.
I also created a podcast version of this.
I shared stories of teachers posting the crazy things they’re teaching your kids on social media as a reminder to always keep an eye on what your kid’s teachers are posting online.
I also covered this topic in a stream on my channel:
Are you getting your information from activists, entertainers, or grifters? I wrote this piece to explain the difference between the three major types of information to make sure you’re focusing on reliable sources.
I also created a podcast version of this.
I hosted part one of my Master Your Psychological style workshop. You can find the recording on demand now, and join us for part two live this week!
To prove that private schools are no better than public schools, I shared the story of a student who was expelled from Vermont Academy for his personal political beliefs:
Yesterday, we watched activist trainings from Teachers College at Columbia University for our weekly Happy Hour:
And tonight, we’re watching the Seattle Socialism Conference for Socialism Saturday, starting at 6pm eastern!
