Some of us are old enough to remember when @DamonLinker’s preferred method of outrage porn for elite libs was that @firstthingsmag and people like @McCormickProf were planning to transform the American regime into a theocracy.https://twitter.com/TheWeek/status/1420393609971503108 …

I know you're monomaniacally fixated on the CRT stuff, but trying to connect this argument to that topic is a bit much, even for you.
The connection is you, Damon. It's the same reflexive thought process: "Anton bad. CRT not bad. Damon look smart." But you can't even get the basic facts right, illustrated by your ridiculous take that "critical theory" and "critical race theory" have "little connection."

Kimberle Crenshaw, founder of critical race theory: "[We] discovered ourselves to be critical theorists who did race and racial justice advocates who did critical theory." Damon linker, galaxy-brain intellectual: "No, those aren't connected."

Where’s his retort?

Linker talking about “monomaniacal fixation”? Pudgy dork writes 1/2 his columns on Claremont. We might be the only people who read them.

Don't complain, that's one person who cares about Claremont. I had to read Harry Jaffa in grad school, his work was such a gigantic non sequitur I wanted to gouge my eyes out; and Claremont is just unserious footnotes to the guy.

You've admitted you labeled the trend "CRT" for propagandistic purposes. But whatever we call it, I have criticized it over and over again in my writing, including here: https://theweek.com/articles/859776/new-york-times-surrenders-left-race … And here: https://theweek.com/politics/1001910/democrats-are-anti-anti-critical-race-theory … But none of this has to do with today's column.

Nope, I didn't develop it for "propagandistic purposes"; I developed it as a method of public persuasion—you know, how you influence policy in a democracy. And, according to the latest polls, we brought awareness from ~0 to 150 million American voters in less than a year.
