      Calling intersectional Kendi-DiAngeloism "Critical Race Theory" was always going to fall prey to the selective pedantry of the left professoriat

      It had to become much coarser, stupider, and more propagandistic to arrive at this point where this is being taught to STEM teachers...pic.twitter.com/5Vl0a6A6UT

      But really all the fundamental errors in reasoning and proportionality were present in those articles appearing in Harvard Law Review in 1983

      People who talk like this in 2021, speaking a jargon existing in a self-enclosed system of reference immune to correction or criticism, are the weaponized superbug version of the core CRT claimshttps://twitter.com/graceisforyou/status/1386740587194327041?s=20 …

      We noticed shared rhetoric among the staff. Terms we heard often: “systems of power and oppression” “hegemony” “marginalized identities” “intersections” “centering” “deconstruct” “knowledges” “normativity” Didn’t understand the ideology behind it, started doing some reading. 5/

      But this resulting product has gone through decades of being fashioned into a blunt instrument of coercion, in chat rooms, tumblr posts, academic echo chambers, flame wars, campus and workplace meltdowns

      We need a new term to describe this vision of the world as a matrix of interlocking oppression. P People who want to analyze this sociological phenomenon without taking on the baggage of terms like "Cultural Marxism" are turning to a useful neologism: https://hedgehogreview.com/blog/thr/posts/the-problem-with-western-religions-on-campus …pic.twitter.com/Z6RdFV8eLc

      The original stuff was more sophisticated than the inane crap being taught in diversity seminars throughout corporate America. But that's really not saying much!https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1390830364063506438?s=20 …

      Finally, participants are told they must “pivot” from “white dominant culture” to “something different.” The document claims that “competition,” “individualism,” “timeliness,” and “comprehensiveness” are “white dominant” values that “perpetuate white supremacy culture.” pic.twitter.com/f4Z9LSv8Ir

      You want to avoid sounding Glenn Beck-ish or Trump Jr.-ish (or like lefties ascribing the war in Iraq to Leo Strauss) and recognize that the reason-resistant superbug that took over institutional America in 2020 is an 8th generation mutated variant

      Replying to @wesyang

      So take a newer term nobody identifies with, and the pedants never stop asking you what the hell that means and who you're talking about.
