How to Destroy a People

This ideology is the very opposite of constitutional law. It will destroy our country.

Twenty years ago, I interviewed a young woman for an entry-level position at the prestigious university where I taught. I had read the candidate's Ph.D. thesis, with considerable reservations, and was eager to ask about her scholarly interests. She stated that she followed the approach called "critical theory" and that her interest was limited to whatever was abnormal, perverse, and antagonistic. She despised everything that was conventional, decent, or good.

As a person who had devoted his entire life to promoting what was conventional, decent, and good, I was taken aback. Not that I was entirely surprised. Critical theory, with its antagonistic attitude toward ordinary society, had been gaining ground for decades. I myself had attended the first National Endowment seminar, at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1988, focusing on critical theory, and I did not like what I heard.

It turned out that I was the only member of the hiring committee to vote against the young candidate. Her other qualifications were sterling, and apparently the others on the hiring committee saw nothing wrong with her fascination with the perverse. As it was, the abnormal was well on its way to becoming normal, as it now is in almost every university in America and much of the West — and in high schools and elementary schools as well. The so-called academic discipline of critical theory is the source of most of the social conflicts that are now arising — everything from transgender "rights" to slavery reparations to sanctuary cities to no-bail policing. It all derives from misguided sympathy with what appears to be marginal, outcast, and oppressed, but what actually constitutes a new class of privilege.

"critical theory" does NOT mean "critical thinking"
Critical Theory only offers entitlement, an unappreciative attitude and fosters looking for negativity in most things
Critical Thinking means weighing out the good with the negative, and determining what is most productive and accomodating that which is for the 'common good'.

See? The enemy is quite smart.

She knew exactly what she was doing, said all the right things to get hired and left no question as to the nature of her student instruction. Probably just as she was told to do.

This goes back to Zero, who has repeatedly stated in the past exactly what he would do. It’s a form of gaslighting, but also a key tactic to achieving their goals.

I estimate - conservatively - that under plandemic spending fraud the left managed to score $50-100 billion to advance their agenda, which includes an army of paid activists who no longer ‘work’, as well as a healthy fund to pay off key personnel (i.e., election workers).

RE the latter: Show me a single citation of any investigation whatsoever which pulled financials for election workers (including GA). I’ve never seen any and doubt any could be found (they don’t exist).

It’s easy for them to say there’s no evidence of election fraud when they don’t look for it.

Advice: Switch out your silhouettes for color prints of leftists and begin change of mindset forthright.
