The Birth and Evolution of a Villain, Cultural Marxism, the Death Cult- Part 1

There have been numerous terms and phrases coined in the past few years, within the realm of politics and social issues. Behind them all, in the warp and weft of these ideas lies a singular insidious thread. If you tug at this string, you begin to see the connections. It is not a “wild conspiracy theory,” there are no tin foil hats.

Every human being has certain “immutable characteristics.” These things are enduring, unchangeable, and innate traits that are specific to the individual. Sometimes they can be applied broadly to groups of people. Terms like “white people” or “women” denote an immutable characteristic. Try as you might, a person “assigned male at birth” will never be, or know what it feels like to be, a woman. They can truly only pretend to be something they are not (Folk, 2022).

Objective reality is something that is talked about a lot in many different circles of thinkers. My best definition of ‘objective reality’ could be something like “the universe as it is, with no singular point from which to understand it.” Humans have an ‘anthropocentric’ view of reality, at the very most reductionist level. We will only ever understand the Universe from the point of view of a human. All humans understand the world from an anthropocentric position (for commie gobbledygook on the anthropocentrism and the environment, check out: Goralnik & Nelson, 2012).

Another layer, or paradigm is added when we add the gender of the human. Thus, a human woman will only understand the world from the perspective of a human woman. Another layer, or paradigm, would be race, then culture, religion (or lack thereof), political stance, affluence, etc. Thus giving birth to a myriad of different perspectives. A white Christian male from Cleveland, Ohio is going to have a different perspective, though maybe only slightly, than a White Christian male from London, Kentucky. These layers of immutable characteristics and paradigms give us our individuality.

Immutable characteristics cannot be changed, unless you’re a leftist, (Enriquez, 2013) as we’ve established. Paradigms, though, can be, we’re sort of embedded in our paradigms. You can be a Christian and become an apostate or convert to another religion, which would change the paradigm you’re embedded in. The function of a paradigm is to give meaning to our lives, experiences, and the world we live in. Not meaning as in purpose, though that is surely within the realm of a paradigm. Rather meaning here would mean something like definition. A framework with which we can interpret our experience.

These two things, Paradigms and Immutable characteristics, can be applied broadly; Affluent African American Democrats, Impoverished Southern American White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, Trans-People, Sub-Saharan African Muslims, etc. When used this way, we begin to track where paradigms and immutable characteristics intersect between groups of people, giving rise to what is now called Intersectional Politics (IP).

In IP, whenever groups of people or individuals are juxtaposed, there is a Victim/Oppressor dichotomy that is applied to the juxtaposition. If we look at white Americans and African Americans, for example, we’re looking at immutable characteristics- race, but then with IP, we add the victim/oppressor dichotomy. White people, in the past, have oppressed black people via slavery and, allegedly, built a society that has racism built into it.

Enter Critical Race Theory. If you’ve been paying attention to almost any format of news or social media (SM) in the past few years, you’ve probably heard of Critical Race Theory (CRT). It has been the subject of much consternation across the country. In essence, the previous statement about white Americans building a society that is inherently racist against minorities is the jist of it. With the addition that White people are inherently racist, and most don’t even know that they are.

This theory has been taught in colleges for an untold amount of time, and not overtly until recently. Those individuals who taught this in colleges have since brought it to the K-12 education system in America, and this ideology has shaped the way a lot of people think. Young white children go to school and are taught that they are bad, because they’re racist, at a very early age. Young minorities go to school and are taught that, by the very nature of their skin color, they are special and deserve things.

CRT attacks specific immutable characteristics (white skin) and says that they’re bad. Then it upholds other immutable characteristics (brown skin) and says that they’re good. Which, by definition, is racist. But we’re not dealing with logical people here. According to this “theory,” non-white people can’t be racist because the system within which they live precludes them from having power; power is inherently linked to racism. CRT is changing definitions and logic. It is a paradigm within which many young people in America are embedded.

When two paradigms collide, there is a “Paradigm Conflict” illustrated in the Kuhn Cycle. Thomas Kuhn created a system for understanding how science evolves, in 1962. His model has since been adopted to show how prevailing ideologies conflict (Thwink.org, 2014). From what I understand, two paradigms wage war, and the victorious paradigm remains, but is slightly changed by those elements of the losing paradigm that can be integrated into the victor. We are currently within that cycle where the paradigms are clashing. Again.

It took a few years before people started catching on to it. Once it went public many parents were angered, wrote their representatives and in many states, the ideology is banned from being taught. With good reason. But, like most villains, CRT didn’t go away. It learned what it did wrong, adapted, rebranded, and came back as an even more powerful force for a sequel.

Enter “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” (DEI), CRT’s successor. CRT said that if you are white, you’re powerful and an oppressor. It aimed to combat that by teaching white people that they are inherently biased, racist, and bad, but after learning these things about themselves, they might be able to take a step back from positions of power and let other races (Diversity) have equal power (Equity). This does not apply to just the racial ‘power dynamic,’ though, as heterosexual white males are associated the most with evil in this “theory,” and so the LGBTQ crowd had to be invoked (Inclusion) to bolster their numbers.

Where CRT aimed at and attacked white people, DEI solidifies and supports non-white people. It has better optics, but it is just a re-branded idea. It’s the same thing. Both of these ideologies, though, are going after specific immutable characteristics. IP is still at play. White, heterosexual, and usually Christian, are all bad. Normally this would be discrimination, but we’re not playing by the normal rules here, we’re playing by the Oppressor/Victim rules.

There is a logical tool that is used in our courts, it is called the “proof of impossibility.” We know this as the “burden of proof.” If I accuse you of stealing, I have to provide evidence that you indeed stole something from me. In the CRT/DEI world, if you accuse me of stealing, I’d have to prove that I didn’t. Which is impossible, or at least not probable.

Let’s say you have a watch, and you say that I stole it, and I have to prove that I didn’t; how would I go about that? I’d have to dig up the entire world to show that I didn’t steal it and bury it. I’d have to dredge all bodies of water to show that I didn’t steal it and throw it in a lake or ocean. I’d have to un-melt all the metals to show that I didn’t melt it down. I’d have to dig through all the landfills…. You get the picture. It would be impossible to prove otherwise. It is the same here with racism. How shall I prove that I am not racist? Donate my house to People of Color? Work at my job and donate all my money to People of Color? Have only People of Color as friends? It is impossible to prove to these adherents that you are not racist.

Yet, this is what people want. Kangaroo courts where you’re guilty of some offense that proves that you’re a racist. “You gave your house to an impoverished black family, and donated all your money to poor black inner-city families? That’s neat and all, but you work for a company that was founded by a man who has an ancestor who was friends with a guy who owned slaves. How could you do that? You’re still a racist.” Case closed, guilty.

If you are a student of history, this might remind you of something; the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Intersectional Politics was in full swing in the Bolshevik Revolution. If you owned land, or a horse, or a weapon, or knew someone who did or had ancestors who did, you were a part of the bourgeoisie, and therefore an oppressor, and therefore an anti-revolutionary, and had to be killed or sent off to work as a slave in the Gulag (Anderson & Peterson, 2023).
