Want To Know What Critical Race Theory Is? Watch ‘The Matrix,’ Scholar Explains
The Daily Wire ^ | August 20, 2021 | Luke Rosiak

Posted on 08/21/2021 8:53:58 PM PDT by TBP

Although we, the regular middle class, were all happy, there was a certain way we could see the world in which we would understand that everything we thought we knew was wrong, and actually, we should be angry. Because of our failure to see this invisible but true reality, as the philosophers thought we should, in some ways the enemy was us.

Gonzalez studied the critical theorist philosophy of the era and learned that “Their position was the worker has become his own oppressor because he’s bought into the idea of country and his family and capitalism. They say he has a ‘false consciousness’ by buying into the ‘superstructure.’”

Then he put something together: “I watch ‘The Matrix’ and I think, this is what they’re talking about.”

Critical race theory assigns a set of experiences, beliefs, and attributes to groups of people based on their skin color. That is the classical definition of racism.

The KKK and the Charlottesville organizers would be very proud of Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo.

“Matrix”? I think I’m in the “Truman Show”. This can’t be really happening.

The author is largely correct. The (later tranny) writers of The Matrix cast a world in which all the alleged evils in CRT — whiteness, order, work, civilization — are the chains that bind humanity down as slaves and unwitting power source for an inhuman enemy that, in the writers’ imagination, is headed by a leftists’ caricature of whiteness — a Col. Sanders clone in all white.

The ‘good guys’ that lead our seminal hero Neo in his Campbellian journey of hero are all the marginalized victim-heroes of CRT — black, female, gender-fluid (”Switch” was supposed to be male/female in the original), Hispanic.

They still can’t escape their own (real) racism though — as in Democrat politics, the victims are the cause celebre but it’s always the white guy who can save the black/female/whatever people — in their mythology these can never save themselves.

As always though evil can never create, only steal and twist, so the whole story is appealing to our guys (and at this point its memes largely owned by the pedes/Kekians) because:

- In actual point of fact (facts!, time after time after time) they’re the liars constructing a false reality;
- The metaphor of ‘red pill’ as truth fits so neatly with the current pattern of truth being briefly broadcast only to be cut off and followed by waves of BS; and
- This whole black/white/male/female division crap is useless to most normal people. Where they sow division, we see unity — it’s cool that a black female Oracle clues Ted, I mean Neo, in on the truth.

(Which reminds me of a nice other little racist bit they displayed — when Gloria Foster dies they don’t introduce a new character, even a new oracle — nope! One black woman is the same as another to the racist leftists, so they just swap out Mary Alice, toss in a throwaway line, and keep rolling.)

Like so many leftist-screed sci-fi, they accidentally show the real truth while trying to push their division and hate. Last I heard they’ve failed to redpill themselves, as with Joss Whedon, so completely that it’s almost a meme onto itself.

They blame all of society’s ills on genetics.

CRT is Mein Kampf for the 21st century.

Anyone who subscribes to it is a true Nazi.

CRT, NAZISM, MARXISM, MAOISM, they all are reflections of the lie told by the snake to Eve. “Do that which God has told you never to do and you will be as God.” Because she was a stupid human female Eve fell for it.
Eve’s belief in her own superiority did not allow her to consult with Adam. She could make up her own mind. She was WOMAN and did not need a man’s opinion to control her. The first feminist act. The result? Seperation from God and consignment to rule by Satan.
Notice how all of the CRT operatives are female or feminized men? Look around.

The entire democrat taliban party is full of racists. They project their racism onto everyone else to put people into a state of fear and inaction so the democrat taliban can consolidate power.

Your premise might be worthy of consideration if Adam did not eat of the tree, as well, and entire swaths of male leaders, athletes, etc., were not whole-heartedly embracing CRT tenets.

Unfortunately, it reads more like an anti-woman screed.

Does evil pervade when God is absent? Yes, it does.

You see it as a continuim of the divine battle. I see it as a pattern that history has played out before: stigmatize, dehumanize, euthanize.

I think not. Satan did not seduce Adam but Eve. Adam was God’s first. Eve was Adam’s first. Eve owed allegiance to Adam. She faile him by denying his authority in her life. Precisely the same trap feminists are engaged in today. They are not partnered but see themselves as independent. That is the fallacy of their sex.

And yet Adam, also knowing God’s commandment, still ate of the tree.

This biblical fact undercuts your whole argument.

This society in which we live does not immiserate the workers.” But that’s because workers were too obtuse to know they should be unhappy, Horkheimer continued. “The critical theory which I conceived later is based on the idea that one cannot determine what is good — what a good, a free society would look like — from within the society which we live in. We lack the means. But in our work we can bring up the negative aspects of this society, which we want to change.”

Under all the BS the REAL idea behind CRT is that lazy intellectuals(like AOC and Bernie) BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF SOCIETY - AND THOSE WHO PRODUCE SHOULD TAKE THEIR PLACE AT THE SILLY BOTTOM. If you want to see 'oppressed' workers - take one look at any commie hellhole. In Cuba workers are willing to risk dying to get off the island....In China workers work 12 hour days - giving up any semblance of life beyond existence. One look at Valenzuela 'then and now' showcased the workers fall from middle class - to 'what the hell happened'...
