      Right, it absolutely is an academic term. That doesn’t mean it is used by experts.

      do you not consider Black people, and specifically Black academics, analysts, and historians, to be experts on racism?

      No, People aren’t experts in racism because of what they look like, historians can be if that is their expertise, and I’m not sure what “analysts” means here, so it depends.

      People are experts because they acquire expertise, just like in physics, not because they are up or down-gradient of power. That is the Critical Theory drug, it’s pretty lame.

      Hey have you thought at all about what 1984 means when it has Winston wistfully think that all hope lies with the proles (and that Party dissidents like him can never actually succeed, because of who they are)

      Did you have something in mind? In real life, I don’t think hope lies with anyone in particular, but I am interested in cultural discourse and who people see as the powerful or powerless and what some groups need to do and so on and so forth.

      MAGA thinks the country has been taken by “those people,” be it immigrants or the Welfare people or the Chinese, or whatever. They don’t have any particular moral vision, but the downtrodden ex factory worker must be saved.

      Critical SocJus thinks that everything is a battleground of power, including art, comedy, discourse, and everything else, that the privileged oppressors always act to exploit the oppressed, and constantly raising awareness to this will help bring about utopia.

      That's also what Orwell himself thought, or at least wrestled with himself about (he thought this but didn't like the implications always) He talked about this a lot when talking about other writers, it's his main preoccupation when he wrote Why I Write

      I mean you know that when he was reviewing books and stuff he wrote a ton of stuff you'd be calling "cancel culture" today "He wants to cancel Charles Dickens! He wants to cancel PG Wodehouse! He wants to cancel those boys' adventure stories in magazines!"

      (Not because he actually wanted to ban them or even tell people not to read them, of course, but because he wanted to talk about the political ideology those books represented, how they affected politics in the real world, he thought that was your responsibility as a critic)

          Read "Inside the Whale", his take on Henry Miller, it's his meditation about that struggle Like he obviously has this admiration of Miller for being able to do things as a writer he can't but this repulsion to the narcissism of "I just write what I wanna write, fuck politics"
