Critical Race Theory: What It Is and How to Fight It

Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. It’s time for this to change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.

In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: the workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class, and usher in a new socialist society.

During the 20th century, a number of regimes underwent Marxist-style revolutions, and each ended in disaster. Socialist governments in the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Cuba, and elsewhere racked up a body count of nearly 100 million of their own people. They are remembered for their gulags, show trials, executions, and mass starvations. In practice, Marx’s ideas unleashed man’s darkest brutalities.

[snip]Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, over the past decade it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions. It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs, and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks, and school curricula.

This sees its children in the student rebels of the 70's taking over administration buildings in their lust for power, and which is what drives Antifa today and it all flows from the devil and his original rebellion.,

For if we look at Isaiah 14:13,14 and Genesis 3 as well as Job 1 and 2 and John 8:44 and 10:1, then what is indicated is the premise that God - the omniscient omnipotent Creator - is unworthy to alone be God, and thus be looked to above all else, and thus that He needed to “share the wealth” as a a matter of justice.

Thus began the fist “occupy movement” in which Lucifer presumed, ”I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14:13-14)

Then, being cast down due to his wholly unwarranted selfish self-exaltation, the devil works to essentially seduce Eve with the victim-entitlemt mentality, that she is the victim of Divine injustice by God due to Him forbidding her something that would provide her with Divine power. For rather than disobedience to God resulting in (spiritual) death then instead it would obtain this power for her, and which was her right, a matter of justice.

However, this only resulted in negative consequences for Adam (who was not deceived, but went along with his wife) and the devil obtaining power by inducing the stewards of the earth to sin.

Then we have the case of Job who worshiped God rather than the devil (even if thru proxy servants or other false gods) which the devil was/is envious of. And thus asserted that Job only did so due to God treating Job’s obedience so well, rather than Job worshiping God due to His character. Thus the devil asserted that if Job suffered loss then he would condemn God, rather than worship Him.

And God, who alone knows all the heart and motives of every being, allowed the devil to afflict Job by loss and physical disease and false accusations. Yet (despite his multitudinous questions and protests), job keep the faith, thus proving the devil wrong, and forgave and prayed for his friends, and received far more than what he lost and suffered.

And all of this is to the benefit of man, and not because God - who is always giving and needs nothing (Acts 17:25) - has some need of ego fulfillment. But He allows and uses the devil to provide the alternative to obedience to God (for of what use is freedom to choose if there is nothing to choose from) and which ultimately reveals to everyone what a person really wants. And while God speaks Truth in salvation, the devil selfishly malevolently deceives souls for their damnation, using proxy servants. And in addressing some the latter then Jesus Christ stated,

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)

And in contrast,

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

The redeemed are those who come to God as sinners knowing their desperate need of salvation, not as a souls saved by their works or church affiliation, but as destitute of any means or merit whereby they may find salvation, and with a humble and penitent heart believe on the crucified risen Lord Jesus who alone can save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood and righteousness. And thus are baptized and follow Him.

A Manifesto for the Based

“There are, in the end, only two things that can tear such a regime down, and they are, as it happens, interrelated. They are the two most powerful weapons against tyranny in the human arsenal: telling the truth, including by refusing the lie, and laughter. Both are based, and to win both are necessary. While Solzhenitsyn tells us that the whole of a tyrannical regime can be brought down in the end by a single person repeatedly telling the truth, the fact is that the USSR that tyrannized him actually fell when its subjects—for citizens they were not—began to laugh at it. So, where being based begins in a certain stoicism, it’s the most based when it’s stoicism with a sense of humor.”

“Humor isn’t necessary but is the key to being truly based. Absurdity must be exposed, and no acid is more corrosive to the absurdity of tyranny than laughter pointed in its general direction. So, while being based begins with being unapologetic in yourself and the truth, whatever anyone thinks, it does this ideally while being funny. Power, as it happens, abhors a laugh, at least when it’s not based (based power abides). The more seriously anything takes itself, then, the less based it is, and, in turn, the less able to withstand the based it can be. Voltaire was based; John Oliver is an asshole. This is why the left can’t meme. Meme culture is based. The left is not based. (All your base are belong to us, indeed.)”
