I should point out that I have seen thousands of people by now articulate why no one understands CRT, but none of them enlighten us in why we need it or offer alternative explanation for “wokeness.” It’s just denial.

The fact that those ideas are easily absorbed relates to the current problem. These ideas have been made accessible to most people. The issue is that academics are struggling to debate those ideas without being accused of having ‘zero intellectual output’ or lacking authority.

The main issue you state stems entirely from a lack of intellectually rigorous work that converges on ideas like, “diversity is bad,” or, “women belong in the kitchen.” That you’re opposed to reading scholarly works b/c you disagree with them has relegated you to reading hacks.

I struggle enough in my own field to know better than to presume someone else’s field is simplistic. Seems far more likely that you just don’t have a grasp of field-specific axioms, debates, knowledge gaps, etc.
