Even before The Boys literally beat him to death, things don’t go well for Stormfront, the Nazi superhero in his encounters with them.

Tim Wise has written "13 Questions for those Who Want Critical Race Theory Banned."

I thought I'd answer them.

Carl and his LotusEaters did a video on this, but I haven't watched it yet.
Before we get into the questions, let us note that his framing is utterly dishonest from the start: he frames opposition to Critical Race Theory as opposition to "teaching accurate American history."

This is just an outright lie.
Suppose a 19th century curriculum in American history wanted to teach Manifest Destiny as part of American history, that is, to teach as FACT that America has a God-given right to conquer and annex all of North America.

Posting things to Twitter was a lot easier when I could do it in 1-2 steps, on my Mac, instead of the 8-10 steps needed for Windows 10.

Not to mention the 4-5 extra steps to capture an image.
Mac:
1 Screen capture command
2 Select area to save
3 Done

Windows:
1 Screen capture command
2 Select area to save
3 Save to clipboard
4 Open clipboard
5 Set it not to save as a .jfif (again)
6 Save it again ("for real" this time)
7 Close clipboard
8 Done
Plus, I have to repeat steps 1-3 in many cases, because I keep thinking that once I've taken the screenshot, I'm done.

But of course, on Windows, I'm not.

This strikes me as an important point from @ConceptualJames.

The Woke deal almost entirely in hyper-realities, that is, pseudo-realities, paralogics, and paraethical systems.
@ConceptualJames I keep underestimating this phenomenon, because as much as I understand intellectually that people do this, the idea of CHOOSING TO LIVE IN A FAKE REALITY is so evidently a bad and wrongheaded idea, I tend to assume people who inhabit such pseudo-realities are MAKING MISTAKES.
@ConceptualJames This turn to pseudo-reality, the deliberate orientation to the back of the cave will and way from the light of being and truth, this is a thing of the will primarily, and a thing of the intellect, which is darken by it, only secondarily.

Are you, though?

The rational for e-prime, that you cannot make IS statements, is couched in IS statements. "You ARE declaring ... etc.

"You must not use IS-statements."
"Why not?"
"On the basis of some IS-statements I make."
Besides, when I say "That painting is good," I don't mean to say anything about my subjective experience of the painting.

I can, for personal reasons, DISLIKE some good things.
I am perfectly capable, as is everyone, of distinguishing an objective quality judgment from a subjective taste judgment.

E.g. you can judge a member of a sex to which you are not attracted to be sexually attractive (objectively).

Everything that is, every being or entity, is something. This means that about every entity "what is it?" can be asked. The proper answer will be to name its what-it-is (Greek: τὸ τί ἦν εἶναι) or essence (Latin: essentia) or whatness (English: awkward).
The essence of an entity isn't the same as the entity, because there are (in almost all cases) many entities that share the same what-it-is.

All dogs are dogs. That is, each dog has the ontological structure of being-a-dog, the essence of dog or "dogness."
The word "species" is another word that classical functions as a near synonym for "essence" — because it marks off a natural kind.

Other natural kinds include, e.g. chemical elements or the particles of physics.

Notice this demand is senseless:

What is “showing”? Nothing, according to him. What is “observable”? Nothing.

He seems to be asking for something, but isn’t, because nothing is anything, according to him.

He has to accept Platonism long enough to ask his question.
But if he accepts Platonism enough to ask, he answers himself: whatness is found in the place where he saw what “to show” and “to observe” are.
A “show me” demand refers to something that can be seen, that is, a look, ἰδέα in Greek.
