The first, greatest experiment in human intellectual life was conducted around 500 BC, in ancient Athens, when the cream of a few philosophers for the first time in history, broached the possibility of rising above the common tyranny of empires, for a rational rule of law and government to be conducted on an enlightened basis.
Yes, the Athenians excluded the commoners, and their enlightenment reposed on the subjugation of non-Athenian states. So have all other civilizations. Yahweh commanded the same of the Hebrews in Deuteronomy 20:10, that they could offer peace and servitude to remote foreign peoples if they would submit, unlike their near-neighbors who threatened to corrupt their religion, whom they had to subject to the sword.
Jump forward from 500 BC to 1776 AD. After a gap of millennia, the best of the spirit of ancient Athens was restored by a few Colonial Aristocrats. A smoking wick of enlightenment had been rekindled into flame. The fire has been kept going, diminished somewhat, for more than 200 years.
The Founders disadvantaged indentured servants and slaves, but slavery was the rule worldwide for all history, and as soon as it made economic sense, their civilization slowly overcame slavery's dominance--at a terrible cost.
Now a new class of dark-minded, unenlightened tyrants, a middle, administrative group, the Beta class* as in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World", is distributing a hopeless, diecast slavery based on sophisticated ideological manipulation with a secret core of psychological manipulation.
The flame of the American experiment still burns brightly to all peoples world-wide -- in the week of January 20, there were pro-Trump demonstrations in such disparate places as Hong Kong and Tokyo, historically enemies.
Millions of people still want to come here. Those who do make it, when the defective aren't artificially inserted by the Deep State, still work hard and rise above poverty. Note the steady increase of middle-class status and increasing conservatism of Latinos.
Suppression of ordinary patriotism by hard-working Americans, which constantly changes definition, CRT today, some new name tomorrow, stems from the Orwellian term "selective tolerance", tolerance of politically correct views, by cultural Marxist Herbert Marcuse, who had worked in American Intelligence and the State Dept. before going into the practical propaganda of University professorship, a member of the Frankfurt School with a goal of "making the west stink".
It has taken a long time since January 6 for the right-thinking to line up all the ducks, to see how their respect for law was ruthlessly manipulated. Now that the jig is up, now that we've got the goods on the Deep State tyrants, they are becoming increasingly erratic, and dangerous, as they have to face the fact that their time is short. If they're going to complete their overthrow of America, they'd better get moving quickly--and get a change of luck.

I don’t quite understand how CRT can make anyone feel righteous. It should actually make them feel uneasy. One simple question can derail all the theory: Is CRT influenced by Marxism? They can hardly deny it. It makes the theory evil because Marxism is evil. Why aren’t they afraid of this question?
Exactly.
Remember what the Lord said about trees and fruit? CRT is a fruit of the evil tree of Marxism; nothing good can come from it.
“Righteous’’? Self-righteous is more like it.
Self-righteousness is just a phony form of respectability.
