      This was always their intention. Claim hegemony over an entire category of conversation by denigrating any other attempt to discuss it as wrapped up in the status quo.https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1417313212207271936 …

      Well well well, if it's isn't Kimberlé Crenshaw, founder of critical race theory, telling us that the term "critical race theory" can be "used as interchangeably for race scholarship as Kleenex is used for tissue"—exactly as I've been saying all along. 👍 http://www2.law.columbia.edu/fagan/courses/law_socialscience/documents/Spring_2006/Class%202-Origins%20of%20Social%20Science%20Law/Crenshaw_Foot%20in%20the%20Closing%20Door.pdf … pic.twitter.com/GP7mLZAm9x

      Replying to @ConceptualJames

      She's bragging that she invented the term in the late 80s and, by the early 2000s, it had become the brand synecdoche for left-wing race scholarship. That's fine and accurate, but it also means that they can't run away from it now.

          Why not? The more blatant and egregious a lie is the better it serves the purpose of costly virtue signalling. You have to remember you're dealing with an ideology that sees 1984 as a manual, not a warning. What part of the last 20 years left you thinking they had a problem lying

          It looks like you are arguing, not that the synecdoche is accurate, but that - per Crenshaw - people have been making your mistake so long that you are in no danger of being called out on it. But that's not good. You are basically arguing that smear artistry is sustainable?

          Crenshaw thinks the Kleenex-tissue thing is bad, but we are stuck with it. You are happy to be stuck with it, but why is it good? It just seems like a way to project your own argument-by-branding-synechdoche on CRT, as if it's the other side doing the 'totalizing'. But it's you.pic.twitter.com/miBsjAzjY1
