if we were more aware of Lysenko and his legacy of death, we might be more cognizant of the threat we’re currently stumbling our way into under the banners of “antiracist medicine” and “health equity.” These are the dawn of Medical Lysenkoism, and this is already well underway.

Believe Moms: There's Something Else Going on With Trans Teens. A few weeks ago, I published an open letter about my Weird Son and his sudden and very unlikely self-diagnoses of being transgender. To my surprise, it was blocked as “Hate Speech” by Medium.

If you have ever wondered about what the backstory of the creation of the “Feminist Mein Kampf” paper really was, including why its authors did it, you won’t want to miss this long-form discussion and rare response to yet another underinformed critic of Lindsay, Boghossian, and Pluckrose’s work.

The fight against the ideology called Wokeness is gaining ground for the first time in a decade, if not decades. People increasingly understand what it is and why it is a terrible, inhuman, and inhumane ideology that has no place governing our societies.

The End of Civil Rights in Kimberlé Crenshaw's "Mapping the Margins". James reads through the conclusion of “Mapping the Margins” and illustrates exactly how Crenshaw’s ideas will achieve the complete subordination and redirection of all leftist, left-wing, and civil-rights thought.

You’re Not Trans. You’re Just Weird. This hypothetically open letter was originally posted by its anonymous author on Medium and was rapidly removed as “hate speech.” We found it to be a refreshing dose of honesty, a charming and relatable open letter from one parent to other parents.

How the Woke Fail the Paradox of Tolerance. They are absolutely intolerant, will not debate or listen to alternative perspectives, and, unlike all other hate movements that fail those two criteria, have grown to be completely unchecked and uncheckable by public opinion.

Critical Theorists as Grand Inquisitors: The Logic of "Repressive Tolerance". In this part, Marcuse dedicates the rest of the original 1965 essay to explaining why it is him and people like him (that is, Critical Theorists) who get to decide what constitutes good violence and bad violence.

Essentialism: a philosophical method best characterised as the worship of language. Essentialist thought has stifled our reason since antiquity due to its overwhelming intellectual obsession with language itself, failing to recognise that language is a tool we use to represent reality, nothing more.

Repressive Tolerance: Left Good, Right Bad, What Could Go Wrong? Lindsay walks through the darker part of Marcuse’s argument to show how he arrives at this blatantly biased and ridiculous conclusion that has set the stage for the totalitarianism we see today in Wokeness and from Big Tech.
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.
The logic of the left today is rooted in an essay by the neo-Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse. The thesis statement: “movements from the left must be extended tolerance, even when they are violent, while movements from the right must not be tolerated, including suppressing them by violence.”
Antonio Gramsci, Cultural Marxism, Wokeness, and Leninism 4.0. If you want to understand the present moment, especially how similar Wokeness seems to Mao’s Cultural Revolution, you have to understand the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci. Understand more clearly than ever why it must be resisted.

We are witnessing the birth of a new national mythology in America, and it is not good news. Imperfect as it was, the old one was better, warts and all, and it needs to be fought for. This new alternative, of “liberation,” is based not in truth but in alchemy; it will therefore end in catastrophe.
What Is Critical Race Theory? Its true objective is to re-organize the social, cultural, and legal playing field in a way that claims to reverse “historical injustices” around the issue of race, allegedly without reproducing them. Please share this essay around, it needs to go viral.

Despite his official stance as a moderate Democrat, Biden has proven himself willing to pander to the radical left. This suggests that he himself accepts some dimensions of the Critical Social Justice framework.
Intersectionality Goes to Court. What is clear at this juncture is that intersectional theories of discrimination will increasingly govern civil rights litigation. “Progressives are chomping at the bit to bring new cases—’textualism’ in the service of intersectionality.”
The Woke Make Biden's "Moderation" Irrelevant. For any of his late and thin comments about the violence that has rocked our streets for the last half of this year, Biden has given us absolutely no indication that he’s going to resist any of this bureaucratic totalitarianism.
(Higher) Education Is Destroying America. The less educated distrust the educated contingent’s claims to knowledge and expertise because knowledge claims by the educated elites now routinely come packaged with liberal doses of barely concealed political prejudice.

Psychopathy and the Origins of Totalitarianism. Many of the greatest horrors of the history of humanity owe their occurrence solely to the establishment and social enforcement of a false reality. This means that they require power, coercion, manipulation, and eventually force to keep them in place.

The Five Most Moronic and Dangerous Woke Ideas of 2020. A concept had to stand out as (1) silly and (2) insidious in its ability to influence people (the “coattail effect,” as we will discuss). Until enough thoughtful people fight back, nutty woke concepts will continue to take root and metastasize.

Four Fallacies of the Woke Prohibition of Cultural Arguments. Woke ideology has achieved a near total victory in crowding out cultural explanations for disparity in the world. The woke have successfully branded cultural explanations as racism.
Wokeness Threatens the Rule of Law. In this worldview, there is no such thing as a “reasonable person,” and nothing can be considered “reasonable,” because the very application of “reason” is a mere application of whatever is accepted by the dominant power structure at hand.
"Everything Is Problematic". There is something dark and vaguely cultish about radical left politics. I’ve thought a lot about what exactly that is. I’ve pinned down four core features that make it so disturbing: dogmatism, groupthink, a crusader mentality, and anti-intellectualism.

Critical Race Theory has a Jewish problem, and, finally, people are beginning to notice. “Stop being shocked,” implores Bari Weiss, formerly of the New York Times, writing for the Jewish commentary magazine Tablet. It’s a staggering article that cannot be recommended highly enough.
This is the world according to Critical Race Theory, and in such a world, you’re always wrong (and notice—your race never had to be assumed for these situations to play out to the inevitable conclusion of present racism: the conclusion was simply to be and was assumed from the outset).
Why Schools Are Teaching Our Kids "Social Justice". Rather than learning how to do mathematics, then, your children will be taught to ask questions like how mathematics is used to maintain racial oppression—for it must, according to Critical Race Theory.

The Great Silencing of America and the Hallmarks of Woke Totalitarianism. We are in the midst of a Great Silencing, the quashing of all voices from both our present and our past.

The Critical Race Theory belief system deconstructed. It is inherently racist and divisive, cynical and Sisyphean in the extreme. It is opposed to the humanist beliefs about race that made us what we are today: an imperfect, but decidedly less racist society than any that has come before.
