Do you listen to podcasts? I highly recommend you add Conversations with Peter Boghossian to your list. Smart people talking, almost every episode – you can’t help but have some of it rub off on you. :)
We’ve been fighting the post modern bullshit for so long, we forget about the sanctioned evil that is happening right now that isn’t cloaking itself in progressive language and false virtue. Listen to Yasmine Mohammed tell her story about becoming an unperson as she was enslaved into the ‘religion’ we know as Islam.
It is quite astounding that many people who claim to be “Queer” actually have no idea what the term actually means, or when asked, be able to define it for themselves.
Definitional clarity is important, it allows for honest conversation and the exchange of ideas.
Here is what “Queer” is defined as:
The above, is quoted from David Halperin, one of the founders of Queer Theory. This isn’t an uncharitable “conservative” definition, but rather straight from the one of the preeminent queer theorist’s mouth.
So, what I suspect is that many people just are part of the “fringe” of the queer cult, and want to identify with the trapping of “queerness” but don’t actually have a clue as to what actually being “queer” means.
The overt antisemitism was removed for the final draft… I don’t seem to remember my course syllabi being activist and promoting the ludicrous idea of safe spaces.
University is meant to be a place where you can be challenged and your thoughts and methodologies scrutinized and criticized so you can become a better thinker.
The last paragraph speaks against all of what University is supposed to be about.
We all know that being woke requires you hand in your critical thinking card, because the ideology is circular and not internally consistent. But then there are those who through some strange series of events somehow think that being woke simply means becoming aware of injustice and its a good thing. This is an example of what the activists mean by being ‘woke’.
Being woke mean judging people inherently as members of superficial identity groups, then slotting them into a rubegoldberg-esque rubric of power/oppression ratings,and then judging their claim as to where they fall on this bullshit ‘matrix of oppression’. The more oppression factors you have been deemed to have the more troothiness your claim is.
Watch what happens though when you inadvertently break a trip wire and your ‘oppressed privilege rating’ isn’t high enough for the claim you make.
Man claiming to be a woman: NO PROBLEM.
WHITE Man claiming to be a woman and COLONIZING A JAPANESE name: ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS.
Utterly ridiculous.
