"Tolerance is only truly tolerance by becoming intolerant. We see it also where freedom is only truly free if you limit freedom (for certain people at least), democracy is only truly democratic when the people with the wrong ideas are disenfranchised" -- James Lindsay on Critical Theory

It took me several weeks to watch it all. It was totally worth it, though. I understand CRT a lot better now. It's like a religion, but there are several denominations. They're not all the same and they don't believe in the same thing. And yes, the ones called wokists absolutely do intend to destroy our culture through a cultural revolution. They believe once they do, all the roadblocks in the way of utopia will have been removed and the end of history will arrive. It's why they hate us so much - they think we know this and are actively trying to stop the best possible world from coming to pass.

History shows us they're real good at the "tearing society down" part but what comes after is a dystopia. China is still paying the price for their cultural revolution over 50 years later.

Basically I agree.

The problem - the variable external to the pure societal philosophy - is technology. With each wave, the people manipulating these tendencies in human nature (which are basically envy and paranoia) have greater technologies with which to concentrate their hatred and enforce their control.

My fear is that with this go round, the "insanity x technology" combination may be powerful enough we are going to find human life impossible to continue. It's not the way I thought human extinction would look, but seeing it happen, maybe it makes sense this is the human tendency to demonstrate itself incompatible with evolution.

Let's hope that at some point enough people see this for what it is, and we can go back to a more sustainable track for our species.

Yeah. The communists exterminated tens of millions with nothing more than paper and pencil. Imagine what they could have done with big data.

It's very demoralizing.
