This guy makes me sick to my fucking stomach. In this thread he feeds his followers an amount of bullshit even James Lindsay could only aspire to.
Contrast Rufo’s opening statement—using “countergenocide against white Christians” to refer to a specific solution—with his actual article’s analysis. “Countergenocide” is an ADJECTIVE (like “counterterrorist”) as in “countergenocide tactics.” This is PURE BAD FAITH.
This is truly a fucking disgusting lie. The author, Cuauhtin, does not call for engineering any goddamn genocides. As I showed above, “countergenocide” is an ADJECTIVE. Rufo is being as honest as I am when I say he sees the ultimate goal as engineering a “Satanic” against Jews.
Even more troubling is the pure dogmatism in which his fans slurp this shit right up. @FreeBlckThought is the only person challenging Chris, who has no legs to stand on.

Yesterday I stumbled upon a video from the 1990s by the Free Congress Foundation, a right-wing think tank created by all-around terrible person Paul Weyrich.

Someone want to tell me how exactly this is any different from the "anti-Wokeism" we are getting today?
"[Insert currently fashionable name of social justice boogeyman here] is nothing less than a Marxist ideology: Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms, in an effort going back not to the 1960s, but to World War I. [Begin discussion of The Frankfurt school.]"
William Lind, the man taking us on this iQuest for Truth in the video, happens to be one of those responsible for the resurrection of antisemitic conspiracy theories surrounding cultural Marxism around the turn of the century: splcenter.org/fighting-hate/… ImageImage

Cannot believe I just talked to Cornel West. Wild.
So it turns out our exchange was almost 10 whole minutes! Multiple parts coming up.

First I plug the Pioneers of Africana Philosophy Conference (Mar. 19-20!) and explain how I follow a Millsian black radical liberal approach to thinking about racial justice as a political goal.
As I explained in an exchange with @OlufemiOTaiwo yesterday, I think there is a deep sense in which the toxicities of Western/white/patriarchal (etc.) ideology can be understood as manifestations of shamelessness. To what end then can Confucian/other non-Western virtues guide us?

FULL STORY: I joined a class @ThaddeusRussell and @ConceptualJames were teaching called "Critical Theory and Postmodernism" because I knew it'd likely be the only chance I would ever have to confront James about the bullshit in his book (he's had me blocked since my review). 1/n
There were three courses. The first two covered Gramsci and the Frankfurt school philosophers, the last covered Lyotard, Beaudrillard, a bit of Derrida and a bit of Foucault. To my surprise, almost none of Cynical Theories' nonsensical depictions of the postmodernists came up. 2/
Further, we spent 2x time on the Frankfurt school as the postmodernists, the opposite of Cynical Theories, where the former were relegated to endnotes. I asked James if he could explain this at the end of the course; here's his answer (though you can see first minute cut out) 3/

Here's James Lindsay introducing himself, in his testimony in support of a bill that would effectively ban the teaching of systemic or institutional racism in NH schools, as an expert (eventually even "recognized as a world-level expert"!) in critical race theory. 1/n
This clip is in fact a perfect distillation of his entire grift against CRT. He takes a somewhat controversial claim from critical race theorists, that racism is ordinary rather than aberrational in American life, and literally reduces it to a Robin DiAngelo quote. 2/n
"Other scholars." Nice, James. Didn't want to name drop someone who's increasingly being disavowed by academics, did ya now? 3/n

Alright, since "Jeremy" wants the smoke, it appears I'm going to have to roll out a thread about how his team's sophistical posturing on topics like intersectionality engenders just enough confidence in their fanbase to prevent them from fact-checking. 🧵 1/
So we start here: "Intersectionality, at its core, is a *critique* on universal claims of other rights-based analytical frameworks and movements." - @SarahTheHaider

Because Crenshaw coined the term 'intersectionality,' and this does not at all describe her view, I objected. 2/ Image
Sarah doesn't like the implication she hasn't read Crenshaw; she has! Great, I hope she can show me where on Earth Crenshaw critiques universal rights-based analytic frameworks.

Turns out I had made another mistake: interpreting 'intersectionality' as Crenshaw defined it. 3/ ImageImage

Greetings, comrade! Heard the delightful news? Helen Pluckrose--AKA the Mary Wollstonecraft of the 21st century--has just given Western civilization a lifeline. If Critical Race Theory kills us all, at least we'll know our queen did everything she possibly could to stop it. 1/
Ever the philosophical juggernaut, look how she resolves the company's paradoxical commitments.

Not everyone who works with Counterweight is a liberal humanist; they're merely mandated to support the tenets of liberal humanism, though they obviously don't have to. 2/
Pluckrose venerates liberalism, her metanarrative of choice, not as a philosophy grounded in equal rights and freedoms for individuals, but as "a system that allows us to disagree without turning to violence"--as we know, fascists have never risen to power in liberal contexts. 3/
