Upon the bones of good intentions tyranny is built.

How seriously threatened? Twitter isn't real life.

Uh no the woke agenda is disturbingly prevalent in our congress and broader culture. I agree the twitter crazies are a minority, the issue is that the majority of other people are easily cowed by nice-sounding words. They hear the perfectly vague term "racial justice" and go "well sure I agree with that!", only to find out it means segregating classrooms and dorms by race. And demonization of "whiteness" IE collectively blaming an entire race for the actions of a few. It is literally going backward in terms of social progress, all while claiming to be "progressive". It's an insane circus sideshow at this point, and a complete contradiction of terms.

MSNBC, a *major* mainstream media outlet, calls larry elder "The black face of white supremacy" because he has like, somewhat conservative views on taxes and social programs or something. They just completely dismiss his free agency to make up his own mind. They lecture us about "not stereotyping" and then insist black people are all supposed to think the same thing and vote for the same party. It's completely racist and backward, and they have the gall to pat themselves on the back for being the good guys. Barf. America has never been less racist than it is today, and people pretend it's worse than ever because they live in an ideological bubble. And there's certainly a bubble on the right too, don't get me wrong. But the left's bubble is far more pernicious.

You should read critical theory before you try to lampoon it. Leave that to the Arabs.

Let me know what it says.

It has many prominent critics who all have essentially the same critique. I don't think I need to read it, although I'd be willing to.

In exchange, you should read every book by Thomas Sowell.

So they all seized upon a single criticism and you're hiveminding it?

Conservatism, folks. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
