Chris Rufo just dropped this propaganda film, “Critical Race Theory.”

I commented with a link to my Substack post so his viewers might read my piece exposing his manipulation and lies; he deleted my comment within seconds.

I guess I’ll have to expose them here.🧵

First, the link to the video. I suggest you check it out yourself at some point; I’ll just highlight the worst bits here.

Don’t forget to leave it the thumb rating it deserves.

Rufo, like Lindsay, is now incorporating the idea that the (Jewish) Frankfurt School engineered CRT to promote division between White and Black Americans so that they could overthrow White rule and install a Communist government. This is literal neo-Nazism, plain as day.

Marcuse and his student Angela Davis are cast as the masterminds behind this project in the post-1968 U.S.

Rufo doesn't define CRT. He just tells you what words it uses to mask its Neo-Marxism: "Equity," "Social Justice," etc.

"This is deliberate."

Here Rufo flexes the CV of bullshit and disinformation he's been building over the past year.

Rufo layers his bullshit: many claims here are even more misleading than their counterparts in the City Journal pieces. The goalpost shifts are imperceptible if you don't look for them.

If you want the debunkings, they're all here: conceptualdisinformation.substack.com/p/chris-rufo-p…

Now we get something closer to a definition. Rufo says the "premise" of CRT is that, given the racist history of the US, we should examine the role racism may continue to play on a societal level. TRUE.

Its "conclusion" -- intersectional Marxist woke revolution. FALSE.

Finally: the war on CRT Rufo wants to fight on four fronts.

1) Public policy - in many cases a front for banning all discussion of sexism and racism from the classroom, given the def. of "race/sex stereotyping" from the EO.

2) Unconstitutional - renders (1) totally futile.

**That is, if (1) is just supposed to ban things that are already illegal, and over which you're already suing, what actual purpose can it accomplish?

Well, you can try to use it to ban concepts, like legislators have done in TX, OK, and TN.**

"The stakes of this fight are incredibly high," Rufo says, as he claims CRT constitutes a genuine existential threat to the United States in every manner, seeking to abolish property rights, free speech, equal protection under the law, free enterprise, and federalism itself.

"Truth and justice are on our side," he says. "If we can muster the courage, we will win."

There's nothing left to add but this reminder: [FIN]
