"It’s why they had to destroy education first." This is indisputable. Semi-literate, innumerate, history-deprived students will not grow up to be responsible citizens. How can we make detailed arguments about the Founders' ideas (for example) to people who are graduated from high school with a fifth grade reading level, or worse? Lack of a proper education allows an almost infinite number of critical problems to flourish. I've read several posts over the last few days on jury nullification, for just one example.

@DataRepublican @FrancisWegner It’s why they had to destroy education first. There are full, tenured professors who are no longer capable of identifying the glaring non-sequitur.

SCOTUS found Biden didn’t have authority as President to cut student loans without Congress. Yet they find Trump has the authority to cut whole government and eliminate entire agencies unilaterally. This is the most compromised, partisan and unethical Supreme Court in history.

@ilovetheworld1 We all must become intolerant of intolerance.

Overseas friends, Under the banner of “multicultural coexistence,” some elementary schools in Japan have begun teaching Muslim greetings. We would appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences.

@DataRepublican @nicksortor @GatesMcgavick @PamBondi This is called Restorative Justice, part of CRT, and it’s the discipline policy in all government K-12. The school curriculum you talked about is a natural extension of that, part of what they called “student-led / agency” learning. courageisahabit.org/tools/restorat…

Been researching DC juries this morning. Did you know that DC has a specific school curriculum which is mandatory from 6th to 12th grade which trains them in civic participation including juries? Students are taught how to look past the actual crime and evaluate all charges through "root causes" and equity. There's no chance of a favorable conviction in DC.

I think gold coffins, statues and murals for a life long violent criminal who overdosed was divisive.

This is the exact moment the Democrats decided it was time to use illegals as a political and cultural weapon. Unfortunately the Republicans obliged. They no longer carried about policies. They only cared about demographic. Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT to take our country back.

Justice isn’t blind anymore...it’s been gang-raped by multiculturalism and left bleeding out in the courtroom. Remember O.J. Simpson? Black jurors openly admitted they knew he was guilty as sin but let him walk as “payback” for Rodney King. Fast forward to 2026: Britain’s Justice Secretary David Lammy just announced they’re scrapping jury trials for almost everything except murder and rape. Why? Because in diverse London and Birmingham, “random” juries no longer deliver justice...they deliver ethnic loyalty and tribal revenge. Nonwhite jurors convict whites at sky-high rates but let their own walk free even with video evidence. Data from UCL and US studies proves it: massive in-group bias from blacks and minorities, while whites still try to play fair. Lee Kuan Yew warned decades ago...multiracial societies can’t have fair juries because race, religion, and tribe always trump facts. The elites knew diversity would destroy the “little parliament” Englishmen fought and died for since Magna Carta. Instead of stopping the invasion, they’re killing the ancient right to a jury of your peers and handing power to lone judges in their pathetic “swift courts.” Demography is destiny, and when the English become a minority in their own courtrooms, there will be no justice left...only payback. The lamp that showed freedom lives has been extinguished by the very people who swore to protect Western civilization. (article below)

ISLAMIFICATION: Houston refuses to recognize Good Friday & Easter to avoid offending Islamic residents while city leaders celebrate Eid Mubarak & praise Muslim leaders for supporting the city. Christianity is being erased from American civic life one city hall at a time. h/t @CollinsforTX

As fun as it is to see ActBlue exposed, one must always ask the motives when legacy media seemingly puts crosshairs on its own. It’s long been a goal of the “democracy” camp to overturn Citizens United and ban PAC money. Here’s the catch: they want to replace it with union money and taxpayer-funded money schemes much like the NGO gaming of subsidized campaigns which allowed Mamdani to win in NYC. They more or less are moving towards a total monopoly on campaign funds for Democrats. Yes, let’s enjoy the collapse of ActBlue. But beware.

@PaulNix324243 @KimKatieUSA @ChristineWeish8 This seems to be the new response to anything see that is contrary to what they want to believe.

HOLY COW. Watch this insane close-up video of U.S. strikes absolutely leveling the B1 Bridge in Karaj, Iran. Whoever was filming that is lucky they can still hear anything if they even survived the blast.

NYT just detonated a 4,000-word thermonuclear bomb on ActBlue...and it’s not rumors, leaks, or partisan bullsh*t. It’s straight from ActBlue’s own terrified lawyers’ internal memos. Those memos warned their shady donation racket wasn’t “robust”...it was flat-out criminal. The phrase that buries them alive? “Knowing and willful.” They KNEW. They were WARNED in writing. And they kept the grift machine churning anyway. Then the glorious rats-fleeing-the-sinking-ship collapse: Senior officials bail, in-house lawyers bolt, one attorney blasts the memo to the board and gets his access nuked instantly. HR warns against whistleblower retaliation… then quits 30 fucking minutes later. That’s not turnover. That’s a pathetic, full-blown organizational meltdown. NYT just lit the fuse right before midterms. ActBlue is cooked. (article below)

Wrap your head around this... The Democrats are mad ICE is using Medicaid data to arrest illegals after they told us illegals aren't on Medicaid. The irony.

True

🚨 do you understand what New York City just accidentally admitted.. NYC spent $81,705 per homeless person last year.. the median American household earned $81,228.. the government spent MORE to keep someone homeless than most families earned to keep themselves housed.. that $81,705 isn't going to the homeless person.. it's going to the system around them.. shelters, administrators, case managers, contracts, overhead.. the industry that manages homelessness.. not the end of it.. if NYC gave every homeless person that money directly.. they could afford nearly 2 years of rent.. most of them wouldn't be homeless anymore.. instead the money goes to the system.. the system keeps running.. the homelessness stays.. and every year they ask for more funding to manage the problem that the funding was supposed to solve.. the homeless are worth $81,705 a year to the system.. they're worth nothing to it solved..

🚨 JUST IN: CNN is STUNNED after President Trump's latest jobs report pummels expectations "I mean the expectation was what? 60,000 jobs, and it's 178,000? Wow!" "The job market BOUNCED BACK in a big way. That is good news. Blowing away expectations." 🔥

@ConceptualJames Critical Confederate Theory will come with the Civil War revisionists!

Earlier today, I explained that what we see from Tucker Carlson, et al., is ultimately Critical America Theory, which many people found clarifying. To add some depth, I want to explain that at the heart of every critical theory is a lunatic totalist conspiracy mentality. We can start where we started earlier, with Max Horkheimer's characterization of his Critical Theory. He invented Critical Theory in 1937, adapting it from the Marxist tradition of ruthless critique. He described it this way (paraphrasing): "We [neo-Marxists] developed the Critical Theory when we realized that it is not possible to describe the good or the ideal society on the terms of the existing society, but we can criticize those elements of the existing society that we wish to change." This characterization is very important because it reveals the ultimate character of all critical theories: looking for "problematics" in society that don't live up to some imagined ideal society that likely cannot even exist but can still be used as a reference point against which to complain about reality, often senselessly. Briefly, how? How can you use something that isn't real as a reference point? By believing things like "we don't know what an ideal America would look like, but it wouldn't have racism." Then you send people out looking for anything they can consider racist and get them to "problematize" it because the ideal society wouldn't have that happening. That's how. The thing is, Horkheimer's characterization also reveals the true structure of all critical theories: they're conspiracy theories. The belief in the Critical Theory is that the whole of society in every regard is so captured by the ruling classes and powerful interests that you don't even have the tools you'd need to describe an alternative. That is, powerful interests control everything, and they do so in a way where people don't realize it. In fact, they don't even have the conceptual tools to imagine an alternative. And the ruling classes benefit from that situation, so they like it that way, and they keep it that way, sometimes on purpose. The two sides of this mentality are "critical consciousness" for the people who are "Woke" to the Critical Theory and "false consciousness" for the people who aren't. The conspiracy the powerful interests in society run is alleged to be so complete that people literally misunderstand their reality. Give that a second to sink in. That's the totalist part of the lunatic conspiracy theory. The belief that Critical Theory is based on is that the powerful are so in control of society that: (1) nobody at all has the conceptual tools to imagine or articulate an alternative vision; (2) nobody BUT THEM even know this is happening. That's really important because what it means is that everyone is a dupe except the Critical Theorists. That means nobody is actually capable of understanding, much less managing, their own lives and circumstances except the Critical Theorists. Depending on the critical theory in question, different powerful interests allegedly control society (again, to such a degree that nobody except the critical theorists themselves even know it, and such that nobody can articulate an alternative). (Critical) radical feminists, for example, believe that society is totally structured by a male-dominated force called "patriarchy" that benefits men. It is enforced, they say, by another force they call "misogyny," which means hating women. Critical Race Theorists believe society is totally structured by a white-dominated force called "white supremacy" that benefits white people. It is enforced, they say, by another force they call "systemic racism," which they alone can detect (in literally everything). (Critical) Queer Theorists believe society is totally controlled and structured around people who deem themselves "normal" to the exclusion of everyone "queer." This is enforced by a wide variety of structural forces called "normativities," such as "heteronormativity," the completely made-up "cisnormativity," and "thinnormativity," which ultimately hold that there are norms and that's at least sometimes good. Critical America Theory, which I discussed earlier, has two main modes, which we could call "Left" and "Right." The "Left" mode believes that America is controlled by a conglomerate of powered interests including capitalists, nationalists (whom they call "Fascists"), and all of the "privileged" groups in the whole Intersectional pantheon of victimized identities (called "minoritized groups"). The "Right" mode believes that American is controlled by a conglomerate of powered interests including the Leftists and their Intersectional victimhood paradigm and its beneficiaries, globalists (the "managerial elite"), Jews, and, well, capitalists. Both of these modes hold out that the powerful interests completely control the social, economic, and political lives of Americans, and that Americans simply don't know it because it's not possible to talk about it because, allegedly, the powerful interests will shut you down or ruin/"cancel" you if you do. Even though they all do all the time pretty much exclusively while screaming that they can't. These two models are more or less completely diametrically opposed on all issues except Jews and capitalism. The "Left" mode is pro-Intersectional while the "Right" mode is reverse-Intersectional (same model, but privilege is good now). The "Left" mode is pro-globalist while the "Right" mode is nativist-nationalist. Both modes believe capitalism enables the whole problem and that Jews are participants in the problem (though in different ways). "Left" Critical America Theory believes capitalism restrains people in the name of making money (puts money over people) and that Jews are part of the oppressor category that allegedly harms poor Intersectional victims, including the imaginary people known as "Palestinians." Most of this blame is displaced onto Israel, not Jews directly, which is blamed for "genocide" and such, narratives that can be traced at least in part to Soviet propaganda efforts and Islamist agendas. "Right" Critical America Theory believes capitalism is too licentious in the name of making money (puts money over people) and that Jews form a shadowy cabal of powerful and all-controlling hidden interests (that advance their own "Jewish" (national) interests over those of their "host" nations). Most of this blame is displaced onto Israel, not Jews directly, which is blamed for "genocide" and such, narratives that can be traced at least in part to Soviet propaganda efforts and Islamist agendas (with plenty of Nazism mixed in). The point is that these are totalizing conspiracy theories, so in addition to everything that obviously implies, it also means that they cannot be refuted. Any attempt to refute them is merely to reassert the theory of capture and to defend the system of power that prevents people from knowing the "truth" (believing the critical theory). For instance, refuting a feminist is just another way of asserting patriarchal control and attacking women. Refuting a Critical Race Theorist is having White Fragility which is a kind of covert racism they uncovered in you. Refuting a Queer Theorist is forcing norms upon them that cause them harm and make them s-word-icidal. Refuting a "Left" Critical America Theorist is having sold out to capitalist interests or defending one's own privileged status in the system (or "supporting genocide"). Refuting a "Right" Critical America Theorist is believing making money is more important than people, being a shill, or having been bought off, captured, or blackmailed by Jews, Israel, the Jewish lobby, or the allegedly powerful interests that are controlled by these (or "supporting genocide"). I'm sure you're familiar with all this crap, but you might not have known that it's a direct consequence of the structure of the Critical Theory itself. Once Horkheimer laid out that the raison d'etre for the Critical Theory in the first place is that the "very terms of the existing society" are captured by powerful interests and ruling classes, that means that all refutation of the Critical Theory itself is just further proof that the Critical Theory is right that the whole system of sense-making permitted by the ruling classes is captured. Guys, this is idiocy. It isn't just idiocy, though; it's also evil idiocy. Very evil idiocy. Destructive idiocy. It's also easily replicable by people who are just playing in the incentive structure of the cynical logic of the Critical Theory mindset, so while some of the participants pushing us in this direction know exactly what they're doing, most either don't or, at the very least, don't have to. What should you do? Learn to recognize it. Mark it. And avoid it. And help others to do the same.

@bvbauld @ConceptualJames Most non-academic people, if they're even aware of CT's existence, are shocked when they learn it's been in control of our universities for years.

Evil indeed. It was many decades ago that departments of English were captured by this diabolic. I remember painfully when the second editions of the estimable Norton Critical Anthology series introduced critical theory, overwhelming the art of criticism and making mockery of the great works.
