Karl Marx -critical theory- leftist-critical race theory

@CountScrofula "Stuff I don't like, grrr left..stuff!" essentially

@Ryannnnnn I mean yeah I know this means 'left is bad' but I don't even know wtf point he's trying to make beyond that.

Dude's mind will be blown open if he ever learns you can be a leftist and a racist at the same time.

@CountScrofula I think he's trying to make an association between critical theory and the concept of critical race theory , essentially saying it's the same thing.

@Ryannnnnn OHHH shit right okay he's talking Frankfurt school stuff. So "cultural Marxism" i.e. antisemitism with the labels swapped.

@CountScrofula I've heard that a lot. I know the origins of it were fundamentally antisemitic and I think it came from the old German term for cultural bolshevism? coined by nazis.

@Ryannnnnn Yeah that's exactly it. It sort of mashes together Protocols of the Elders of Zion conspiracy with Marxism and then with modernity/progressivism all into one abstract threat against traditional institutions.
