You Can Hold Your Ground Against Critical Theory
The American Mind ^ | 05/03/21 | Grace Daniel

Posted on 05/03/2021 1:01:56 PM PDT by PoliticallyShort

Don’t apologize or defend yourself against vague accusations of “harm.” An apology when you’ve done nothing wrong is a lie. It will only further convince your accusers their delusions are reality. They don’t want dialogue; they want compliance. Nor will you defeat them in logical debate: Theory rejects objective truth.

If you don’t fight this nonsense now, wherever it’s showing up in your community, soon there will be nothing good, true, or beautiful to defend. We will be ruled by lies and power while being told we’re progressing toward truth and justice. We’re in an open war, ideologically speaking. There is no “safe” any more for people of good conscience. Choose which kind of “unsafe” you can abide. Fighting lies is always preferable to being ruled by them. I believe the truth will prevail.

Are White Men Gods? (II): Getting the Facts Straight
https://web.archive.org/web/20150627183449/http://fredoneverything.org/are-white-men-gods-ii-getting-the-facts-straight/

Not white supremacy but a reflection on the achievements of Western Civilization.

If these CRT types don’t want to share in the fruits of Western Civilization, and want to push this CRT crap, they should quite appropriating my culture and give up electricity, indoor plumbing, air conditioning, computers, and a host of other technologies.

Comparisons of Civilization vs Savgery...

THE GOLDEN BOUGH by Frasier
Part 8
XXVII. Succession to the Soul

” Many races, like many individuals, have indulged in
practices which must in the end destroy them. The Polynesians seem
regularly to have killed two-thirds of their children. In some parts
of East Africa the proportion of infants massacred at birth is said
to be the same. Only children born in certain presentations are
allowed to live.
The Jagas, a conquering tribe in Angola, are
reported to have put to death all their children, without exception,
in order that the women might not be cumbered with babies on the
march. They recruited their numbers by adopting boys and girls of
thirteen or fourteen years of age, whose parents they had killed and
eaten. Among the Mbaya Indians of South America the women used to
murder all their children except the last, or the one they believed
to be the last. If one of them had another child afterwards, she
killed it.
We need not wonder that this practice entirely destroyed
a branch of the Mbaya nation, who had been for many years the most
formidable enemies of the Spaniards. Among the Lengua Indians of the
Gran Chaco, the missionaries discovered what they describe as “a
carefully planned system of racial suicide, by the practice of
infanticide by abortion, and other methods.” Nor is infanticide the
only mode in which a savage tribe commits suicide. A lavish use of
the poison ordeal may be equally effective.
.....
With such examples before us we need not hesitate to
believe that many tribes have felt no scruple or delicacy in
observing a custom which tends to wipe out a single family.

To attribute such scruples to them is to commit the common, the
perpetually repeated mistake of judging the savage by the standard
of European civilisation.
If any of my readers set out with the
notion that all races of men think and act much in the same way as
educated Englishmen, the evidence of superstitious belief and custom
collected in this work should suffice to disabuse him of so
erroneous a prepossession.”

Challenge CRT’s fundamental assumption that race is a social construct. It isn’t. Race is as real as the nose on your face. The human races differ in skin color, in facial features like eye and hair color and in height, (in phenotype and in genotype) and in many other ways including intelligence.
Don’t let the true believers get away with an obvious lie. CRT is absolute nonsense, it’s just the same old racist claptrap expressed as an indictment against the most powerful cultural force on Earth.
