      Defining CRT doctrines down to "cultural change" is some first-class retreat-from-bailey-to-motte.https://twitter.com/rickperlstein/status/1405196045206835216 …

      So, "critical race theory": right-wing strategists identifying, then exacerbating, local discontents about cultural change as an organizing tool has been utterly routinized for almost 50 years. THAT'S THE STORY! Yet somehow it comes off as novel each and every time. pic.twitter.com/fR52Q8Hxwf

      There are no such "doctrines."

      Total denial that any such ideas or concepts exist is a wonderful display of intellectual dishonesty.

      Tell this guy. Before strategists got a hold of it as a tool, CRT referred only to grad-level social theory.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-pringle-critical-race-theory_n_60c9412ce4b0b0e8341f4751 …

      I see you now have at least retreated to acknowledging the existence of the academic theory. Next, you will tell me that it's pop-society formations by the likes of Kendi & D'Angelo exist, or do not exist? Depends on your mood!

      Replying to @baseballcrank

      CRT, in its academic manifestation, is profoundly structuralist. D'Angelo is profoundly individualist--even anti-structuralist: all about individual feelings. They're literal opposites, save for one comminality common: anti-racism. Do you share not that in common with them?

      Ah, back to the motte. They promote a common hostility to the very definition of racism as prejudice and/or discrimination on the basis of race, so saying "anti-racism" is itself question-begging. Of course they're not 100% agreed any more than Stalin, Mao, & Trotsky agreed.

      Sounds like normal battle of ideas to me. Maybe your side just isn't as convincing. Where does Stalin and Mao come in?

      It's an analogy. Do I have to explain how those work?

          I mean, people made arguments, powerful people decided that those people made good arguments and institutionalized some of them, and you disagree. It seems pretty banal to me. Make better arguments.

          Well, I am glad you have now admitted the original point, rather than continue to deny the existence of those arguments. Although I disagree with the assumption that everything decided by powerful people is by definition the result of better arguments.
