William Lind & Paul Weyrich giving us the most succinct statement of the antisemitic “cultural Marxism” conspiracy theory, directly accusing Frankfurt school Jewish intellectuals of brainwashing the public.

Also nice to see James Lindsay is carrying out “the next conservatism.”
Gotta love the phrase “normal white males”
They also recommend that video I recently posted clips from as well as their book on the subject—from which the murderous terrorist Anders Behring Breivik plagiarized entire chapters in his white nationalist manifesto, which gained huge popularity on the online far-right.
Here’s Lind posing with Trump a few months before he was elected to office in 2016. That book Trump is holding is almost certainly a copy of *The Next Conservatism* by Lind and Weyrich, the source of the screenshots above.
I highly recommend everyone read this by @brucewilson—it’s the piece of journalism that convinced me I needed to take a serious look at who William Lind was and how he was disseminating his hateful ideas into the mainstream. google.com/amp/s/4thgenwa…

Nice find from Martin Jay, pioneering historian of the Frankfurt School. The basic subtext of the neo-Nazi conspiracy theory that passes through the mainstream as "Cultural Marxism" Image
Jesus Christ. First I am hearing of this, also in Jay's most recent book. A Trump aide in the NSC wrote an unhinged memo claiming Cultural Marxism is "the dominant cultural meme," adhered to by "‘deep state’ actors, globalists, bankers, Islamists, and establishment Republicans." Image
Some screenshots from the memo. Literally invokes the notion of some "cabal" pulling all the political strings, trying to "destroy" Trump. Image

After a closer read, I like this paper much less than I did after a quick skim. The primary reason for this: Martín seriously misrepresents Mills’ account of white ignorance.

@TLNewmanMTL asks: what’s Martín’s justification for using “white ignorance” in the first place? 1/
Mills’ original (2007) definition of white ignorance: “an ignorance, a non-knowing, that is not contingent, but in which race—white racism and/or white racial domination and their ramifications—plays a crucial causal role.”

Here is Martín’s first crack at it: 2/
@TLNewmanMTL correctly points out that, in introducing the notion of white ignorance, Martín relies on this study pnas.org/content/early/… but only cites one figure from it—one which is actually race-neutral (fn. 2) 3/

Wait a minute—you’re telling me HELEN PLUCKROSE is being commissioned to write a book on Black intellectual diversity and she is ADVERTISING the fact that it will not be subject to peer review?!? Why is she just throwing me lobs like this??? Why is she making my job so easy?!?!? ImageImage
Not to mention all the names spelled wrong... Ta[insert punctuation mark of choice here]Nehisi Coates; Audrey Lorde [interchangeable with bell hooks and Kimberlé Crenshaw, apparently]... Malcolm X OR ELIJAH MUHAMMAD as if they’re just interchangeable SMFH 😂
That’s right Helen, it definitely won’t be good. Image

Thread on "colorblindness"

Here @coldxman defines "colorblindness" as a normative ideal: "we should treat people without regard to race in our personal lives & in our public policy." I think he is wrong to claim MLK as a supporter of this principle. 1/n
@coldxman There are a few MLK quotes that Coleman uses to support this characterization of MLK. First: "The basic thing in determining the best candidate is not his color but his integrity."

But this only says integrity matters more than race; it doesn't say race should be ignored. 2/n
Another: "Black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy. And God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men and brown men and yellow men. God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race."

Again, nothing here supports "colorblindness" so defined. 3/n

An incredible anecdote from Howard McGary: while presenting a talk on Black reparations and forgiveness, a white woman professor stood up and interrupted his presentation to offer him her personal reparations check. #PioneersofAfricana21
