Origins of Political Correctness

[Bring4th_Austin]

Feminism and African American studies are a communist plot to overthrow capitalism?

Those groups are, factually, a product of the Frankfurt school which yes intended to overthrow capitalism, the overthrowing of capitalism was necessary to bring about marxist communism. The only way you can actually destroy an empire if you are unable of doing it by force is to make them or wait for them to destroy themselves. If you look at modern feminism it really isn't surprising it is a by-product of people who wanted to destroy western society (to replace it with a new society).

Critical theory was a product of Marxist philosophers who saw the inherent flaws in capitalism. The thing about critical theory is that it doesn't just apply to capitalism - you can apply it to any aspect of any type of society. You can use it to find flaws in communist or socialist societies.

And sure, if we view western society as racist, imperialistic, and patriarchal, then critical theory is meant to "destroy western society." Just like any critical examination of any system will reveal flaws.

People who are worried about a critical approach to society encroaching on their traditional values are fighting to hold on to the privileges awarded to them by those traditional values, even when those privileges come at the expense of others. And these systemic issues aren't automatically solved when a bill is passed granting equal rights.

There is no racial aspect of the American slave trade because Africans sold other Africans as slaves?

Why make it a 0%/100% absolute value? The man giving the presentation didn't do that so why pretend that's what was presented? There are more reasons to enslave than racial hatred ie. economic incentive is what was related, a fact which is often forgotten by these social justice warriors.

The context in which he shared that fact is telling of his intentions to dismiss the racial implications of slavery that we still deal with in today's society. It's fitting for his narrative.

I can speak firsthand of someone who has lived in various parts of the US south...there is a LARGE group of gun-toting people who are incredibly racist and much of their disdain for Obama is racially charged. It's not a fairy tale. I've seen it with my own eyes (and not through the media).

And I can speak firsthand as someone who does not have a family tree extending back more than 2 generations that communism and socialism are awful ideas. Why is that relevant you ask? Because even though people do not realize the massive left leaning bias in the youth due not only to idealism but this massive narrative that teaches us that we should reject our foundations, which is pre/trans fallacy in terms of apparent progress. And of course, any student of history can tell you that communist ideology doesn't, hasn't and cannot actually work in terms of being beneficial for all people involved.

Of course there are gun toting fools who hate the president for racial reasons, I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case but you cannot deny the pervasive political vision of liberals being caring and the conservatives (those who understand capitalism) as being greedy and foolish. it's always easier to complain and attack personally than understand and conforms to the narrative, coincidence? These Critical Theory intellectuals(?) seem to take a path of least resistance when it comes to thought...

There is a pervasive political vision of liberals being caring and conservatives as being greedy and foolish among liberals. There is an equal and opposite view on the other side of the spectrum and this video, like so much of our political rhetoric, is simply reactionary and energizing the separation between the two sides.

I agree with the idea that the media will never show the true story as they're attempting to portray a narrative, but this guy has his own narrative that is just as distorted.

Not as distorted, If I was to relate these events I would have done it in almost the same manner (minus the raising of the voice lol) and I have no political agenda really.

A liberal could say the same thing about any MSNBC story that has factual information chosen to support a narrative. There is no perceived personal political agenda when someone feels they are right and the others are wrong. Then they're just sharing the "truth."
