      God fucking thank you! I hate that you can’t explain this to anyone who says this shit because they only have a shallow view of the political world that goes back 4 years and won’t even consider reading an even tiny bit of history.

      Yet the same brainworm infested clown shoes will still drop the “history repeating itself” when apt for them…

      They think racist means “bad person”, and America’s founders, of course, can’t be bad people. Also it was more “complicated” back then because nobody knew right from wrong until like eighty years ago. 🙄

        This explains why they keep coming back to that menacing picture of Trotsky where they claim that he invented the word “Racist” as a way to shut down free speech. I couldn’t really articulate why that one in particular had so much staying power, but I think you solved it for me.

    A core memory of elementary school for me was my teacher saying Africa was the largest continent. When asked if it’s actually Asia like the student had heard, the teacher put their hand over the mercator projection map on the wall to measure both continents and went “huh, I guess you’re right”

          It was fun going to college with professors who weren’t used to students having instant access to information.

          I had a sociology professor who banned laptops in her class after I spent the semester fact checking her right wing soap box BS.

          Like, one time she got into an abstinence only rant, and actually claimed the CDC said condoms were absolutely ineffective at preventing pregnancy. Took me like 3s to pull up the website and show her.

    I love how much of a Boogeyman CRT became for chuds. It’s like whiplash even hearing them talk about it, because it used to be this humanities thing that only people in grad school for sociology talked about. Imagine if some conservative radio host mentioned Fredrick Jameson or Eve Sedgwick.

    Also when I was in college, the one Marxist professor tended to dislike critical theory and any of its associated tendencies because she thought they were idealist.

        I’m not sure. That’s the first I’m hearing of it. I thought they picked it because they wanted to cut funding to colleges so they picked something to point at. I’m surprised they didn’t pick queer theory instead.

        I had completely forgotten about the obsession with common core. Most of it had to do with opposition to teaching long division in a step-by-step way, right? I remember my uncle freaking out about a video of a woman teaching multiplication by showing how to add sets of numbers. He described it as common core math and for the life of me I can’t understand exactly what conservatives were trying to say. I think the idea was that schools wanted to dumb down math to make everyone pass.

        i think the reality was that American education is so poor and kids are so behind that teaching very remedial math is probably an improvement

            I was absolute trash at math and my parents has a hard time helping me cause we had to use the methodology taught by the school and ‘show your work’. They said they just wished there was a parent teacher night to teach them this stuff so they could help, cause they would have to reverse engineer how they were taught into the way I was being taught and it was a whole thing. Sometimes the methods were just wayyyy too over explainy as well.

            To be fair I don’t the parents consider CC to be easier, at least from their limited understanding. It seemed harder and more obtuse because back then all they had to do was carry a number to the next number and not think about why it works.

          A lot of it came from parents whose children were apparently confused about the methods. It’s understandable to be upset and confused, but to have a crusade about it was really weird to me. Personally I don’t like it, but that’s because I hate math and only see adding numbers as a tool rather than a way to understand the world. But it doesn’t hurt for children to learn in different ways lol

        Scares me how fast “conservatives” are shifting to “fascists”. Looks like history is indeed cyclical and not linear as we might think, and if so, we must prepare for the escalation of this kind of hate discourse.

                Recently saw Season 2 again, I really enjoyed the characters and their stories, but found a lack of occultism in it. Like some of that S1 vibe was lost or something. Guess we gotta wait and see.

          Calling it cyclical implies we left the anti-communist period at some point in the past. Fascism wasn’t ever gone, it was just winning for a while.

            I see your point, and it is even scarier than mine. Sadly the left and the hole of society just don’t have the guts to put this wretched ideologies behind us.

    “the critical race theory is a fact” from the same people who demand “in English, Einstein!” It says something about how information is transferred and observations are treated in their neck of the woods. When’s the last time you heard a lefty tell you that you’ve read too much theory? That you’re too well connected? That your weed’s too loud? That your drip’s too drippy?

      I don’t think they even know how to summarize it or describe what it means. Critical race theory is just “what if the reason black people are overrepresented in prison is because the justice system is racist”?

      I think what conservatives believe it means is “white people need to apologize for being white every moment of the day because every white person is personally responsible for injustice, including children”

        It’s like when Florida had to define what woke meant in court and came up with something along the lines of “a belief that there are systemic injustices in society and that they should be addressed”.

      Just to lighten things up here my senior year history teacher was so immensely based at her job she converted like a good 90% of her white middle class classroom into still showing up to anti-nazi rallies today and a good 50% of the boys have gotten into fistfights with nazis

      Man that woman should’ve gotten into politics.
