I find this somewhat interesting. Think I might play around awhile by writing some nonsensical and non sequitar posts. What would be so different form my norm, you might ask.

Can't post anything. Didn't pay my bill or something. Guess that's it for this site. Too bad. So sad.

I agree with this sentiment - but I would have said "stupid" people

@iThink So I think they are crazy and you think they are just stupid... hmmm nah

I do agree with the useful idiots category, but please explain to me in what way is it Marxist? Marxism is it's own idiot category but how does it relate here?

@Pand0ro It's a Tool used by either the Left or the Right to promote what ever they think is in line with what they want to popularize

At the present time the Leftist Democrat are using it. I wouldn't think Republicans would use such a tool unless they were Far right White Supremist. I believe the White Supremist are clapping there hands praying the Democrat succeeds in dividing the country. Back to the old Jim Crow days.

@Pand0ro Cheryl Harris advocated for suspension of property rights, seizing land and capital and redistributing them amongst racial lines. They are pretty open about it if you pay attention.

well put

@theinterlooper Agreed, and actually it appears to be a combination of Marxist sympathizers who are also useful idiots.

@theinterlooper I haven't read that but if she is trying to make things much worse for everyone she's doing a great job. Nobody, individually or collectively, has enough knowledge to formulate a theory that foresees all possible outcomes and can control their implementation. All isms are fataly flawed and will eventually fall under their own weight. We have forgotten proper humility and have convinced ourselves of our personal infallibility.

@OutsideLooking So you are saying that anything bad is Marxism?

@dd54 So if Chinese CRT were following American CRT it would be a group of Chinese academics who are trying to get the Hans to make reparations to the Uighurs and Cantonese (and other smaller minorities) to make up for their for the mistreatment of their ancestors.

Nothing

More apt question: what's the difference between the movement against "CRT" and the segregation movement at the origin of modern conservatism in the US?

CRT is the segregation movement…

Eugenecists never advocated forced abortion, only free abortion, just like the rest of the leftists…

There are conservatives in blue states but they just don't have the vote. Unfair to lump them together with the woke.

@eschatologyguy

Oh, I'm aware that most blue states are really red states with a large blue population center, but at the end the day, they might as well be completely blue when you look at who runs the show.

For example, Oklahoma - I believe - just passed an executive order outlawing the teaching of CRT at the governor's level; I doubt you would see that in Oregon, even though it's really only Portland that's on the political Left. Because the red counties don't have the vote, there really is nothing that parents can do. I mean, look at Loudon County, Virginia; you have some very notable examples of pushback by parents against CRT, but instead of getting their voices heard, they are being attacked and doxed by people friendly to the school board and the teaching of CRT.

That's ultimately why I said that I believe only red states will ultimately give a damn.

Diversity training is just empty PR. CRT is about equality under the law. The fact that you take issue with the latter and not the former is revealing.

@WilyRickWiles

CRT isn't about equality under law. CRT assumes that equality is impossible because all inequality is imposed by those who make the rules. It's designed to look for ways to blame the rules where ever inequalities manifest. It's an eminence and emergence dichotomy through which every inequality that emerges is explained as emanating from the structures imposed through a racist power hierarchy.

@WilyRickWiles

CRT has nothing to do with equality under the law; it doesn't even address equality under the law. And I do not - for even a moment - believe that you aren't already aware of this, because I know you aren't stupid. So please don't act like you are.

Right now, the strategy seems to be to accuse opposition of being racist and ignorant of what CRT "really is."

@Alysandir

That's always first; it's become the instinct of the laity and deaconry. The priesthood tends toward nuanced doctrine, but falls back on dogma. The high priests, the bishops and living saints, they can rewrite scripture itself.

@sqeptiq

Send leftist professors to re-education camps. Send them to a farm.

The wilderness is not pass or fail. The wilderness is life or death.

Education should be objective. Mathematics, writing, and history.
