This is a good quote. The analogy to CRT doesn't feel quite right, but it's useful to think about why.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1396996027429830666 …

I'm just not entirely sure if the structure of delegitimization works the same way with "popery" and CRT. Current CRT discourse sounds more like fearmongering about communism (i.e. M&E below). Popery was a synonym for (Catholic) religious tyranny.https://twitter.com/SpartanVTyranny/status/1393745263647502336?s=19 …

I think the point of Defoe's remarks is that the people mobilized against Popery don't know anything about religious tyranny or any other doctrinal issue: "popery" is just a pure bugaboo word for something alien, something not us.
