The Theology of Marxism. Most people think of Marxism as an economic theory or, perhaps, a social theory. This isn’t sufficient. Marxism, strange as it may sound, is a theology, the basis for a religion.
In most applicative contexts, Critical Social Justice Theorizes willful ignorance to be the reason for just about any disagreement with the claims of Critical Social Justice, especially if a member of some “dominant” social group.
Under Critical Social Justice, "Oppression" can be so subtle as to be undetectable even by the people who experience it until they develop a critical consciousness (become woke).
When advocates of Critical Social Justice ask people to be more "tolerant," what they mean is to take on a particular form of self-serving intolerance that acts in service to their radical & revolutionary agenda.

The Only Thing That Isn't Systemically Racist: vaccine passports. Despite the fact that vaccine passports, if implemented, will meet the Critical Race Theory definition of racist policy. Twitter is suspending people for sharing satirical memes pointing this fact out.
After sowing distrust by naming the healthcare system as racist, blacks and Latinos are less vaccinated. Vaccine passports would create a (systemically racist) mechanism by which the disproportionately black and Latino population will be excluded from participation in the functions of society.
Critical Race Theory's Dictatorship of the Antiracists. Gnosticism turns progress upside-down by reframing it away from the effort to prosper in the world as it is and toward remaking it into a world that is not and, because this non-reality is essential to the Gnostic project, cannot be.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay: The Woke Manipulation of Democracy. Much of Woke activism works by equivocating between two meanings in a strategic way: boring everyday meanings to gain access and win arguments; specialized meanings to do their activism once they have the power.
Marcuse makes the case that to achieve a liberated utopia, man will have to be changed at the level of his fundamental needs and his biology, and that this can be accomplished by making him live in a society that “introjects” a new critical morality into him. It’s a truly alarming piece of work.
It is not normally appropriate to liken one’s ideological opponents to something like a virus, but what should we do when the people who hold that ideology liken themselves to viruses like HIV, Ebola, and SARS? This is exactly what we encounter with Critical Social Justice.

I want to introduce a new strategy and term to you. It’s simple: call Critical Race Theorists and its activists “neoracists.” It’s a good term. This brilliant neologism allows people to name a blatant injustice and to make a clear, principled call against racism and neoracism at the same time.
