Libs may be able to prevail via brute force and Stalinist-style purges, but they won't win with this "CRT is an imaginary bogeyman" tack they're taking.

"Critical race theory (CRT) is an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists in the United States who seek to critically examine the law as it intersects with issues of race and to challenge mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice"

it's one of the biggest own goals in politics in the modern era

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4862650&forum_id=2#42669288)

what has changed with "CRT" specifically is that this deranged ideology now has a legible name, goals, and ideological framework, all of which are simple and straightforward enough for any normie to understand and be very sketched out by. the lib machine could have kept doing this stuff that they were already doing, and incrementally hoovering up power like they've already been incrementally hoovering up power, almost completely under the radar

instead, they allowed this official "CRT" thing to become the public face of their agenda, and now the cat is completely out of the bag. instead of being background noise that most people either tune out or never even tune in to in the first place, it's in everyone's face and even the most ambivalent normie is forced to confront and come to terms with its existence

this is the same reason why BLM and explicit black activism is bad, btw. black people were already getting more and more ridiculously preferential treatment by the machine prior to the BLM era, more or less completely under the radar. but now, a very large portion of the normie population has been forced to confront the in-your-face reality that blacks are incredibly undesirable, anti-social, and psychopathic, something that they've previously been able to tune out or ignore

here's an article from the NYT about critical race theory back in 1997 - almost 25 years ago

this ideological movement and the specific groups and individuals of people who support it and drive it have already been accomplishing their goals completely behind the scenes with almost NO resistance for a long, long time now. there was no reason to bring CRT into the active public consciousness. it was a colossal blunder by these people and a huge windfall for the rest of us

Ted Cruz's erroneous definition of critical race theory explains white America

By Kevin M. Kruse, MSNBC Opinion Columnist

At the conservative Faith and Freedom Forum this past week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, launched an attack on critical race theory. Such rants have become a staple for Republicans lately, but Cruz set himself apart by asserting that the legal theory was “every bit as racist as the Klansmen in white sheets.”

Cruz offered no evidence for these claims, because there is none.

To say this is nonsense feels painfully obvious. The Ku Klux Klan’s ideology began with the premise that racial differences were an obvious biological and scientific fact and that all human activities had to be organized around that fact; critical race theorists take as their starting point the belief that race is a fiction, that it’s an invented concept that has no basis in biology or science.

The Klan worked to put its racist beliefs into action through Jim Crow laws in the South and immigration restrictions for the nation as a whole; critical race theorists have devoted themselves to identifying the remainders of that racism in the law and rooting it out.

And, most obviously, the KKK was a terrorist organization responsible for decades of white supremacist violence that included thousands of murders, mutilations and bombings of African Americans and other minorities. The law school professors behind critical race theory are not.

Despite the vast differences between the Klan and critical race theorists, Cruz twisted himself into knots insisting they were the same by grossly misrepresenting the scholarly field. "Critical race theory says every white person is a racist," the senator asserted. "Critical race theory says America's fundamentally racist and irredeemably racist. Critical race theory seeks to turn us against each other and if someone has a different color skin, seeks to make us hate that person."

Cruz offered no evidence for these claims, because there is none. Far from arguing that individual white people are all racist, critical race theorists assert that focusing on the actions of individuals is meaningless because racism is more deeply rooted in larger structural and systemic problems.

Rather than believing America is “irredeemably racist,” critical race theorists have stated that their reckoning with the submerged role of racism in America is a path to redeem the nation and fulfill the promises of emancipation and the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. Critical race theorists also do not seek to turn Americans against each other, but rather to help them understand the actual history of the nation they share as citizens.

Cruz’s claim that critical race theorists are “every bit as racist” as Klansmen is laughable, but it nevertheless fits into a larger historical pattern.

While Cruz’s claim that critical race theorists are “every bit as racist” as Klansmen is laughable, it notably fits into a larger historical pattern in which white southerners asserted that the critics of white supremacy were just as bad — or worse — than the defenders of white supremacy.

During the civil rights era, segregationist leaders across the South complained that they were being besieged by “extremists on both sides,” by which they meant white supremacist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and its white-collar counterpart, the White Citizens’ Councils, and civil rights organizations, like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

In Louisiana, Democratic Gov. Earl Long in 1956 blamed racial troubles in his state on “extremists” he saw in both the NAACP, which was seeking enforcement of the Supreme Court’s rulings against school segregation, and the White Citizens’ Councils, which was working furiously to block its implementation. The Louisiana legislature even tried to ban the NAACP, notably using a law originally designed to crack down on the Klan.

In South Carolina, Judge J. Henry Johnson told a grand jury in 1958 that both sides of the civil rights struggle were to blame for racial turmoil in the region. “The NAACP is just as bad as the KKK,” the segregationist asserted, because he believed both as “violence inciting organizations.” (Cruz might be interested to note that the judge also disparaged Communists, who he said tended to be “first or second generation Americans with names ending in X, or Y, or Z.”)

This is a tried-and-true line of attack from those who wish to preserve the status quo.

As government officials like Long and Johnson advanced this false equivalency between civil rights organizations like the NAACP and white supremacist ones like the KKK or White Citizens’ Councils, ordinary white southerners soon drew the same conclusion.

In 1962, for instance, a letter to the editor of the Knoxville Herald argued that the NAACP and the KKK were in the same class. “Both are extremists,” the correspondent claimed. “Both incite violence. Both have the hate that is not part of the American way of life.”

Convincing ordinary Americans that the enemies of the Klan were just as bad as the Klan itself was, of course, the entire point. It still is.

This is a tried-and-true line of attack from those who wish to preserve the status quo, but in this instance it’s especially egregious. Critical race theorists seek to expose the ways in which white supremacists — like Long, the Louisiana state legislature, or Johnson — abused the powers of their offices to embed racist principles and policies in our political and legal systems.

It’s bad enough that Cruz slanders them. But it’s even worse that he uses the exact same line of argument against them that those segregationists did.

CORRECTION (June 21, 2021 12:27 p.m. ET): An earlier version of this article misstated the name of the governor of Louisiana in 1956. He was Earl Long, not Russell Long.

Race doesn’t exist so we must cater to certain races

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4862650&forum_id=2#42670003)

My point is that the "CRT is imaginary" message is a misfire by libs. They can't unring the bell.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4862650&forum_id=2#42670201)

They don’t need to, because they’re no longer really arguing or trying to convince anyone of anything. *They want people to notice and become outraged.* This is the start of the hardcore public humiliation phase designed to induce absolute demoralization and total public outward compliance in the vast majority of the population (even if many individuals eventually see through the bullshit on some level and become internally scared and/or angry).

*in front of a huge crowd of friends and neighbors*

“You stole my Bose speakers!”

“You never had Bose speakers.”

“Here’s the receipt!”

“Bose speakers don’t exist.”

“What?!”

“Bose speakers are not a real thing, they don’t exist.”

“But you have them sitting right there!!!”

“Those aren’t Bose speakers.”

“Oh yeah well what are they?!?”

“Those are not Bose speakers. Are you stupid, or just racist?”

“What?!? I’m calling the cops.”

“Go ahead, call the cops.”

“Uh… yes, I will…”

“Here, actually, I’ll dial them for you. Call them. They know there are no Bose speakers, too. And they also know they only racists and fools ever try to call the cops about ‘Bose speakers’. So, while we’re waiting, tell us all… which one are you? A fool or a racist?”

Etc, and then when nothing actually happens as a result of this theft (because the thief in this analogy owns the police and the courts), the guy who had his speakers stolen AND was publicly humiliated AND was told countless obvious and provably false lies in the process has no choice but to rationalize the cognitive dissonance of what has happened to him by either 1. coming around to “accept” the lies even though they are obvious lies (which also ultimately leads to 2 and only makes it worse in fact because this adds yet another layer of humiliation since his subconscious still recognizes them as lies), or 2. outright accepting total defeat and becoming fully demoralized at what a weak and powerless and pathetic faggot he is. And everyone who was there watching what happened is forced to undergo the same internal reconciliation process.

The more public and obvious the humiliation, the bigger the more shameless the lies, and the greater the outcry and outrage it manages to provoke in the victim (which leads to nothing except further compounded humiliation because it is ultimately shown to be utterly futile), the better. This is all being done on purpose—what, you actually thought the well-oiled kike machine that has infiltrated this country at the highest levels for more than half a century and successfully turned every single apparatus of money, prestige, or power against its host population (even as they still gladly agree to shovel more and more money to Israel) had suddenly lost its touch and was making dumb, unforced major errors? What do you think is behind the concerted push to literally make you say, “yes of course men are women and women are men,” and publicly deny the single most basic and obvious biological distinction in all of human existence, at the threat of losing your job and/or being non-personed? That wasn’t a thing three years ago, but boy it is a thing now. Why that issue? Why so forcefully? Why now? Hmmm.

For that matter, what do you think “deplatforming” and “unpersoning” actually is, anyway? Why do you think the USSR power structure *randomly but systematically* executed and/or exiled hundreds of thousands of true believing low level Regular Joe communist citizens who posed no real threat to it, and then forced their friends and families to publicly pretend like nothing had ever happened and they didn’t even notice these mass disappearances? Just totally random haha wow so strange? You don’t think the most sophisticated and successful totalitarian ideological surveillance state that has ever existed (up until now) knew exactly what it was doing as it consolidated power and ensured decades of outward public compliance from a thoroughly demoralized population?

Btw, it’s a tremendous black pill that even on XO (a placed filled with genuinely smart and cynical dissident thinkers who notice so much) we still regularly have threads with OPs like this — which *completely and utterly* miss the point of what libs are actually doing, and why they are actually doing it. Grrrr stupid libs, with their BLATANT HYPOCRISY! Everyone can see they are being INCREASINGLY HYPOCRITICAL, so they’ll surely be defeated soon! People don’t like HYPOCRISY!

(((They))) have been playing 4D chess for decades, and we are just now slowly waking up and groggily rubbing our eyes and realizing that we’re actually supposed to be playing a strategy game and not just randomly moving around brightly colored little pebbles for fun while giggling like retards hee hee! (And to top it off, some people think we’re soooooo smart for having finally figured out that we’re playing a game against an opponent—despite the fact that they still clearly haven’t even managed to learn the fucking rules.)

Yes.

Now ask the second level question: “*Why* is it so blatantly and transparently illogical, when libs (for whatever their flaws) have previously done a great job slow boiling the frog using subtlety and nuance for decades? Did they just suddenly forget how to do that, one day, for no reason at all?”
