"Destroying civilization"? Let's see, inclusion of minority narratives, even if rather incoherent, is "destroying civilization." How could that be, unless by "civilization" you implicitly really mean white, European/American civilization.

That's maliciously uncharitable. He is speaking out against a particularly divisive and conspiratorial ideology based on shaky postmodern-style epistemology. He sees it as fuel for the fire of civilization-endangering polarization seen in the US, of which he sees 45 as a symptom.

No. He’s a buffoon who thinks culture is static, and any attempt to consciously divorce ourselves of our behaviours that excluded everyone but the dominant class is a threat to his culture. It probably is. But it needs to die.

Yes, it is polarizing to suggest that finally, after hundreds of years, we listen to any experience other than of white dudes like him. Because some people are bigots. The restbof us just get over it and move on with our lives, better for the diversity of knowledge.

This is misstatement of his position and a misattribution of motive. With charity, one could imagine non-bigoted motives to protest the spread of divisive 'critical theory' based on shake pomo-style epistemology. It is to social science what naturopathy is to medicine.

Except that isn’t what he does. When he says a woman refusing a man’s help is the end of civilization, as he did last week, he demonstrates the underlying problem is his attachment to overvalued ideas of masculinity and fear of change. He is a buffoon.

Indeed. His history provides context.
