The Supremes

[Starfleet Command 441]

Sounds like WV v. EPA is coming down tomorrow?  As horrible as Dobbs is, I think that's the case that pretty much ends this country's ability to compete globally and all but resigns our future to the third world.  An admin with a spine would ignore the ruling and bring this thing to a head now, but we all know that's not going to happen.

I also think social media is 50% of the problem (kind of like calvary in WW I, our tactics haven’t kept up with technology/Boomers lose their minds with social media).  As the olds die things will improve, or at least that’s where I hold out hope.  

It's really pretty fascinating. Put your average boomer in front of a computer and they just fucking turn off their critical thinking. They just give up trying to think and just mindlessly click boxes without reading, and jump to whatever conclusion is most comfortable.

I'm not talking politics - I mean trying to do fucking ANYTHING on a computer. Printer doesn't work? Must be because you installed that program! Or maybe because you plugged in a new thermostat to the wifis!! I don't know why, but there's a significant subset of people that just turn off their brains when they see a screen.

Except that's not what they're doing.  They're being led by the nose by Rufo to believe that the most extreme forms of CRT are being taught at early levels of education.

When you call what is being taught something other than CRT, something more accurate, the argument loses most of its force.  Parents are objecting, for the most part, to the teaching of the racial history of the United States.

Critical Race Theory is an actual thing about which reasonable minds can differ.  The term doesn't apply to every teaching or discussion of the grim racial history of the US.

I agree that labeling it CRT is incorrect and muddles the issue turning it into a debate over the terminology - which progressives use to skirt the issue. Much of the MSM does the same because of their bias. There needs to be a more precise and broader definition of what is objectionable - lumping current students that happen to be white as oppressors and active participants in white supremacy are a couple of markers; how about calling it “White Collective guilt”. A play on the term “collective punishment” - a broad brush with a negative impact applicable to a large swath of humanity. I know this is happening as my niece in a class exercise was grouped with other white kids as being a member of an oppressor group. That is dangerous and offensive to many parents.

Hawley, Rubio and Cotton espouse some of the ideas - not nearly enough for my taste. Hungary is probably the best example of it being put in practice.

Everyone you listed sucks, but specifically you’ve been duped by Vermeule and Ahmari. Those two guys are just social strivers who espouse Integralism because it makes them edgy in their little DC bubble. 
 

The only true intellectual of the new Right is BAP, and he disregards religious thought in general because his main influences were Nietzsche, Strauss, and the pre-Socratics. Of course he still desires authoritarian rule, so he begrudgingly has allied with the aforementioned frauds as well as their peers like Moldbug.

You're talking to someone who doesn't know the difference big-L Liberalism and little-L liberalism. He hears "Liberal Democracy" and thinks of chuckandnancy and sleepy joe - not the academic definition of our political system that encompasses separation of powers, an independent judiciary and a system of checks and balances between branches of government.

He's not a serious person, but will cry foul and rally up shitposters with the best of em. But since there's no policy or rule against being a small minded authoritarian message board brawler, he's going to stick around and buzz you like an annoying fly in the room you're in.

Wrong - claiming that there isn’t a legitimate concern by parents of what is being taught at a grade school level doesn’t let the technical, academic definition of CRT used at the university level - satisfying @Pancho’s criteria is an attempt to skirt the issue. Lumping all white people as being oppressors or the the founding and independence of this country was founded on slavery and teaching that in grade school is the problem-call that whatever you wish.

Even though this is fabricated, fear mongering, race baiting nonsense, I still wish they’d have taught it at your school instead of simply feeding you lead paint.

You’re aware that LKY brutally cracked down on Leftists and union sympathizers, right? Singapore, FiS, and Fidesz have engaged in anti-LGBT rhetoric for years because they want those who belong to that group to feel ostracized and submit to the traditional family values within each of their respective cultures. The main point of illiberal states is to force an artificial national identity by demonizing groups that don’t perfectly fit within whichever variant of natural law they adhere to.

They ignored Chevron.  I predict this trend will continue for another 20 years until Chevron gets "controversially" overturned.  The dissent will call it an important long-standing precedent even though it frequently gets ignored and hasn't been determinative of a case in decades.

I'm sure the totally-not-fascist authoritarian government Icono so desperately wants is just going to overlook not only his ethnicity but also his history of drug use and homosexual acts when they're deciding who gets to benefit and who... doesn't... in their society.

It's amazing how this psychopath continues to keep up the charade he's not Icono. Best not to indulge the broken brained sicko by trying to engage in any sort of debate or conversation. He gets off on offending others with his pseudo-intellectual fascist beliefs.

Most of the “Christians” I know have never read the Bible and hardly any even own the book (or any book).

They trust what they think or what other people have told them. It’s of course the same with the Constitution.

This is where the problem really is. The most uneducated are interpreting the law and the will of god by what is in their head or what they are told. They can never be corrected or educated because they simply do not have the ability to reason or deduce anything.

What happened in the United States prior to  1865 can fully accurately be called oppression and white supremacy.  Calling it anything else is mincing words. And it continued on for at least another century with plenty of legal force behind it.  And remnants remain that are subtle, but no less handicapping.

I'm not sure that exploring the dynamics of oppression in a classroom is a bad thing.  Slavery remains an abstraction for many.  And the post-slavery oppression of Jim Crow is worse.  Telling modern day schoolchildren that they are active oppressors seems rightfully objectionable, though.  I'm not sure how often that is actually happening, and I sure as fuck don't trust Rufo and his ilk to tell me truthfully.

It’s a shame the teacher is not familiar with the preamble to the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. Couida saved him a lot of trouble:

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

6 

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

7 

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

8 

Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
