      James Lindsay, went off on TV Retweeted Titania McGrath

      This article is straight out of grievance studies, particularly the conspiracy theory branch of postcolonial theory, resting directly on the famed theorist Gayatri Spivak to make the case that fighting for LGBT rights in truly oppressive regimes is "racist" and "colonialist." 1/https://twitter.com/TitaniaMcGrath/status/1098191048025825280 …

      In some countries, being gay is a criminal offence punishable by death. Why can’t Trump respect these cultural differences? Because he’s a RACIST. https://www.out.com/news-opinion/2019/2/19/trumps-plan-decriminalize-homosexuality-old-racist-tactic …

      This pair of paragraphs explains in perfect clarity why Woke Feminism can't fight on behalf of women and LGBT who are legitimately oppressed in other cultures, e.g. conservative Islamic ones. Many run into this and cannot explain it. Here it is, straight from grievance studies.pic.twitter.com/BeSHbJkwyZ

          I wonder if the concentration camp prisoners during WW2 felt that the Allies were acting out of colonial/imperialist/patriarchal interests when they liberated them?

          Guess most of them in the camp where whiteskinned europeans so probably it was ok.

          I agree with you this current set of woke tools allows people to rationalize just about anything, but I guess I also agree with them that we should be very skeptical of the Trump administration on this issue.

          I love the "bad things aren't actually bad vibe" while seemlessly holding a "well akshually white colonialists are undoubtedly bad" view too

          One thing that strikes me about how the piece was written is that the author didn't bother reaching out to Grennell himself, instead to the original reporter. Why not? My guess is she thought she knew the exact response she would get from him and would rather talk to a reporter.

          It’s always struck me as odd that these cultural relativists conflate advocating for universal human rights with having a white saviour complex. Rather telling of their own attitudes on the subject.pic.twitter.com/5j1MjaKEHC
