🚨🚨🚨ATTENTION!!!!🚨🚨🚨

WE NEED TO PUSH BACK ON THIS RIGHT NOW.

If this pilot gets fired it further entrenches Cancel Culture and emboldens woke people to go after other people's jobs.

We need to let @AmericanAir know that punishing these pilots is unacceptable.
Further, we need to bring blowback against the woman who is trying to get the Pilots Fired.

It is not enough for the pilots to keep their job, this cancellation attempt needs to blow up in the face of the woman who tried it.

It needs to backfire so she doesn't do it again...
These people need to learn that this will cost them something. It can cost their reputation, goodwill, getting ratio'd. Anything (so long as we don't get them fired...we can't just cancel back cause that makes cancel culture worse) what matters is that it blows up in her face...
She needs to know that going after people for suitcase stickers is nosey, busy body, creepy, authoritarian nonsense.

Also, tagging @AmericanAir and letting them know you'll take business elsewhere if they cave would help.

The cynicism of the postmodernism sees through everything, and thinks all values are the arbitrary privileging of one value set over another to benefit the dominant group in society.

Nothing is inherently valuable, and nothing really matters, things are only "privileged"

so...
Nothing ever gets to be lifted of as being objectively, universally, absolutely, "true, good and beautiful."

Nothing can ever become valuable enough to get escape velocity and get outside and above the cultural milieu. Nothing ever gets to "transcend" the culture. Everything...
that might be seen as objectively valuable gets deconstructed and torn down because anything that gets valuable enough to transcend the culture will become a powerful symbol and end up being "privileged" in a way that inscribes, or re-inscribes, unequal power relations...

It's one thing to think, as I do, that American Calvinism failed to properly address racism in its ranks

It's another thing to analyze that failure using postmodernism and Critical Theory

If Dr. Bradley thinks the PCA survives the deconstructionists blade he's deeply mistaken
If Dr. Bradley thinks the Nicene Creed or the westminster confession or any other historic Christian creed of any kind survives postmodern analysis he's out to lunch.

He may "like" what the postmodern analysis is doing to certain groups who ignored some valid criticism about...
Racism within American evangelicalism (particularly among the historically white denominations), but when the postmodern methods he accepts get turned on HIS theology, and HIS church, my guess is he will not accept it's judgement.

Especially when he finds out that his entire....

 If a pastor says "Christ rose from the dead," and the majority of ancient near east Historians say "the belief in the literal, historical ressurection of Jesus Christ from the dead is not justified," will the Christian Philosophers "stay in their lane?" Image
2/
 Because the most thorough defense of the literal, historical, ressurection of Jesus Christ from the dead is "The Ressurection of the Son of God," By NT wright. Wright has a Doctor of Divinity, not history. His Doctoral Thesis was about Theology.
3/
 In fact, I'd bet the majority of near east historians don't think we can justify a belief in the ressurection of Jesus from the dead based on historical sources.

If we are all going to "stay in our lane" the ressurection of Jesus as a historical event is unjustifiable...

Any Christian who thinks they can use deconstruction and keep the Nicene Creed is badly mistaken.

Once you accept the logic of deconstruction and decolonization there is no confession of faith that will be left standing

Let's view a couple of examples to illustrate the point...
I'm re-doing this thread so I can be more clear about what I mean, @sure_mercies thinks he can defend the Nicene Creed by accusing the (white) man who attacked it of White Christianity.

However a Latinx non-binary trans theologian like Robyn Henderson-Espinoza (@irobyn) said...
her (their?) book "Activist theology."

In that book Henderson-Espinoza says all Christianity post-constantine can be seen as "empire religion." One cannot simply dismiss that view as "white Chirstianity. Someone could take @irobyn's observstion and make the following argument...

When I told you all that Kristin Kobes Du Mez (@kkdumez) was using Postmodernism I was right. When I tell she's using Critical Theory I am also right.

Du Mez is not just "writing history." She is reading history through the cynical lens of Postmodernism and Critical Theory.
I told you all this. I was not wrong.

Again, I said this to everyone I could find

 Both postmoderns and Critical Theorists (who were Marxist) make a huge deal about how naming a thing makes it "visible" or "real."

It's a really hard point to grasp, but it's *VERY* important for understanding how wokeness understands reality.

"Making visible"

 To understand this we need to unpack a point about language and especially "categories." This is the hardest part of this thread, but once we have this point nailed down the rest is easy.

Wokeness thinks that all categories are "socially constructed." What that means is...
3/
 We use categories to carve up the world and organize our understanding of reality. We use names, labes, descriptions, and other linguistic tools to break apart to world, to divide it and draw lines so we can understand it

This is hard, so here's an example:
