Critical Race Theory Is A Classic Communist Divide-And-Conquer Tactic
Rather than serve help heal the nation, critical race theory has proven to be poisonous to liberty, true community, and our common humanity.
Of all the ways identity politics is used as a tool to sow hatred among people where there should be the potential for friendship, “critical race theory” is one of the gravest offenders. Every person of goodwill should know that judging people based on their physical characteristics is cruel and wrong.
This is not the nature of critical race theory, however. Rather, the insidious ideology is being used to promote estrangement rather than friendship, and hostility rather than goodwill. Indeed, the tactics used by proponents of critical race theory share many parallels with old tactics used by the Bolsheviks.
As such, federal employees and those who work for corporations that do business with the federal government sucked into the poisonous vortex of critical race theory can thank President Trump for ordering a stop to the promulgation of critical race theory. Thanks should also be sent to scholar Christopher Rufo, whose diligence brought the critical race theory venom to the forefront of Trump’s attention, and Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, who is working to root out members of the administrative state who defy that order.
It’s important to remember that because very few of its activists have shown much sincere desire to end racism, critical race theory should not be taken entirely at face value. If a majority of its supporters were sincere, they would be willing to have fruitful discussions in a civil society that supports civil discourse. Rather, critical race theory’s agitators are committed to tearing down civil society on the pretense that it is an incubator for “systemic racism.”
If you’ve any doubt about that, consider the Smithsonian display on “whiteness” that condemned all elements of civil society, including politeness, hard work, self-reliance, logic, planning, and family cohesion. None of those are “white” values, but critical race theory frames them just so. This sort of animus proves that critical race theory “arguments” are non-starters and merely serve as convenient pretexts for power grabs.
Doused with critical race theory, the Black Lives Matter organization and its related Antifa-infused mobs are organized for the same purposes as all cult recruits: to recruit more people and to implement the desire to divide and conquer. The phenomenon can be seen as they surround people in vehicles or restaurants, demanding their victims raise a fist and recite slogans under the intense intimidation and implications of violence.
Indeed, agitators who deploy critical race theory have zero interest in ending racism. Instead, they’ve made essentially the same point over and over again: Racism is an unsolvable problem. If you’ve been tainted as “white,” there’s nothing you can do about it. You are eternally a racist, especially if you don’t believe you are.
Robin D’Angelo explains it all in her best-selling book “White Fragility.” Your only option is the cultist’s option: submit to your critical race theory overlords, then recruit others to do the same. If, however, you’re a black person who disagrees with all of this, well, then, “You ain’t black.”
As with all forms of identity politics and intersectionality, critical race theory stokes divisions between people where few or none existed before. It’s all about relational aggression and predatory alienation.
Let’s look at a perfect example of this process, a parallel case from Soviet history. As peasant farmers tended to be overwhelmingly religious, traditional, and family-oriented, the Bolshevik government hated them with a fiery passion. Increasing the acrimony further, the peasants resisted giving up their family-run farms—a roadblock to the Soviet leadership’s desire to exercise complete control over the nation’s food supply.
To collectivize agriculture, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin devised a plan to stir up hostilities among the peasants where resentments had never existed before. As would be the case later with Mao’s Red Guard (and today’s radical statue-toppling, Molotov-cocktail-throwing radicals), the Soviets used mobs of youth to do the dirty work.
The communist youth league, known as the Komsomol, went into villages to propagandize and incite divisions, turning formerly peaceful neighbors against one another.

Jay Whig: Biden is advancing a far-Left platform that is indifferent to civil liberties, embraces international socialism in the guise of environmentalism, and is an ally of a Marxist insurgency at home. https://t.co/arDiA6GJM7

The Debatable and the Relatable
Via American Greatness
Biden is advancing a far-Left platform that is indifferent to civil liberties, embraces international socialism in the guise of environmentalism, and is an ally of a Marxist insurgency at home.
Four important things happened Tuesday night during the “debate.” One, Joe Biden denied that Hunter Biden had leveraged his father’s office to take money from Ukraine and China. Two, Biden firmly took the position that he favors lockdown until the eradication of COVID-19. Three, Biden committed to reinstating the Paris Climate Agreement. Four, Biden denied the existence of Antifa.
We’ll take these one at a time, but first let’s mention another important thing.
The “debate” itself was an intellectual and political disgrace. The moderator was a third debater. The president interrupted compulsively, even when it seemed Biden might descend into his familiar rambles. Biden called the president names—“clown,” “liar,” and “racist”—and told the president to “shut up.” Biden never sincerely answered any questions, choosing to repeat mostly, if not entirely, false campaign pablum.
Last night’s debate format is incompatible with our present political culture. Future formats should be different. One mic, no interruptions, a passive moderator, 15 minute speeches on topics, not questions, known in advance, followed by a 20 minute rebuttal, and 5 minute second rebuttal, repeated three times. Let the candidates talk to the American people. Let the moderators control their fatuous vanity.
There. With that off my chest, let’s return to the four points above.
When Biden denied that his son Hunter exploited his father’s position to take money from Ukraine and China, he was obviously lying. Not only have these accusations not been debunked, they have been documented.
When Donald Trump ran in 2016, he was running on the public’s distaste for Hillary Clinton, particularly her personal enrichment through politics. As I wrote in 2016, “while the media portrays Donald Trump as vulgar, uninformed, incompetent, authoritarian, racist, fascist and a threat to the nation’s survival, the public is well aware of a genuine threat to liberty and the survival of the republic: Hillary Clinton sells offices.”
In 2016, the American people had had enough of the venality, and embraced Trump as the antidote, gambling on his ability to carry out the duties of the office given his inexperience in public life. Trump, nominated thrice for the Nobel Prize for ending conflicts, has demonstrated his ability—unorthodox or not—to fulfill his duties as president. Biden, refusing to confront the brazen corruption of his career as a public servant, reframes the 2020 race around the issues of 2016: Joe Biden sells offices.
On COVID-19, Biden fell down. Biden made clear that he favors strictly curtailing civil liberties indefinitely to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. This has always been a false choice, as Sweden demonstrated. The public knows this is unsustainable and, frankly, perverted. The harm done to children, particularly poor children, by the authoritarian lockdown schemes, which deny children on the margins of society an education, is profoundly immoral.
The lockdown has distressed and destroyed small businesses, plunging a dagger into a middle class already gravely wounded by the globalism Biden hopes to accelerate.
Trump, in contrast and from the beginning, has sought to balance the impact of COVID-19 against its threat, continually seeking ways to minimize the infringement of civil liberties and encouraging the exploration of new techniques to mitigate the impact of the disease—such as the use of hydroxychloroquine and other promising technologies.
Trump has been a voice in the wilderness in protecting the First Amendment rights of Americans to exercise their religious freedom and assemble peacefully. Trump should hammer Biden’s un-American hostility to civil liberties.
Environmentalism and the global socialist movement are intertwined. Biden in his commitment to rejoin the Paris Agreement, embraces this fanatical movement, embodied earlier this year by a shrieking child.

Leftist professor publicly calls for all cops to be strangled with ‘intestines of the last capitalist’ — then says he got death threats
Via The Blaze
Midwestern State University Professor Nathan Jun called for all law enforcement officials to be strangled to death in August, and now he’s facing death threats and doxxing attempts.
According to his faculty page at the school, Jun teaches courses “Health Care Ethics,” “Philosophy of Race and Racism,” “Multicultural Philosophy,” and “Philosophy of Horror and Macabre,” among others.
What are the details?
Jun made the remarks in a now-viral Facebook thread, which painted a grisly picture of capitalists and police officers.
According to the College Fix, Jun wrote, “I want the entire world to burn until the last cop is strangled with the intestines of the last capitalist, who is strangled in turn with the intestines of the last politician.”
After Jun’s statement went viral, the school issued a public statement backing Jun’s right to make such statements.
“As a public university, we recognize and protect individuals’ free speech rights under the First Amendment so that ideas and information may be freely exchanged and examined without the threat of censorship or retaliation,” a statement shared Friday on KFDX-TV said. “Occasionally individuals will express opinions that may be offensive and even shocking, but are nonetheless entitled to First Amendment protection. When our faculty members speak or write as citizens within the confines of the law, they are free from institutional censorship or discipline.”
“Though we take advantage of every opportunity to encourage all members of the campus community to express their opinions in a civil, respectful manner, we view avoidance of censorship as an important part of maintaining the culture of diversity of opinion and academic freedom that is so important to our role as a public university,” the statement concluded.

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has introduced an initiative to allow kids to text questions about sex to adults. What could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/bdu40IwRrL pic.twitter.com/MvBVrRNFtx

Perverting Youth: Virginia Governor Rolls Out Sex Textline for Teens
Via The New American
Liberal Democrat Governor Ralph Northam has introduced an initiative to allow kids to text questions about sex — including questions about sexual activity, safe sex, contraception, abortion, sexually transmitted infections, relationships, and “gender identity” — to adults.
What could possibly go wrong?
Perhaps as disturbing as the sex textline itself is the marketing used to promote it. Slick, teen-targeted postcards promoting Governor Northam’s Brds’N’Bz have been mailed to addresses all over Virginia. Those postcards are designed with artwork geared toward teens. It shows teens using mobile phones and taking selfies.
The text on the front reads:
Have questions about sex, STIs, contraception, or relationships? Text TALK2MEVA to 66746 to get answers from a certified health educator within 24 hours. This textline is free and anonymous for any teen!”
On the reverse side, the postcard shows five teens — three girls and two boys of various ethnic groups — using their mobile phones.
The word bubbles above the teens say,
Have a QUESTION about Brds ‘N’Bz? Use a free and anonymous sexual health textline for teens. Get answers about relationships, contraception, sex, pregnancy, STIs, sexuality, + more!
It also directs teens to text Talk2MeVa to 66746 and includes the logos for both the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA).
Before getting into the sex textline itself, let’s spend a few minutes unpacking the postcard. The teen-oriented graphics appear cleverly designed to make this postcard look and feel very appealing to young people. The postcards are actually addressed to teens living at the addresses to which they are mailed. The multi-cultural cartoon drawings of both boys and girls of various racial groups is clearly intended to cast a wide net to gather as many teens as possible.
As disturbing as all of that is, though, the fact that two of the teens are seen taking pictures of themselves is a real shocker. Surrounded by text about sexuality, the selfie element takes on a whole new meaning. By joining those two things, VDH and ASHA are guilty of sending a subtle message to teens about violating the basic rules of safe use of technology. In the context of sex, the idea of teens taking selfies should raise red flags for anyone paying attention. The psychological affect of combining those elements serves to connect them in the minds of kids who are — because of their biological level of mental development — already prone to taking risks without counting the costs. Given the data about teen “sexting” that is widely available — and therefore, certainly known by anyone who is a “certified health educator” — one should be able to expect the adults at VDH and ASHA to at least keep those things separate.

CNN Pre-Debate Poll Shows Biden Clearly Won Debate
Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)
U.S.—In a highly accurate and scientific CNN poll taken pre-debate, presidential candidate Joe Biden has had a clear win over incumbent President Donald Trump, with 98% saying Biden won the debate tonight and only 2% saying Trump won.
“Biden just dominated Trump with his very non-senile performance,” said pundit Jacob Ingram. “Or at least that’s what everyone knows is going to happen.”
The poll sampled smart people who are also attractive and cool, and it’s very clear that those people all think Biden is great and have already awarded him the win in tonight’s debate against the dumb and abrasive Trump.
“With such a clear and decisive win, there’s really no reason to even have the debate,” said Biden campaign staffer Lucas Mathis. “That would only distract from how great Biden is doing. And ruin his naps.”
The Trump campaign has denounced the poll as “fake news,” even though the poll was made using numbers and a computer which are common instruments of science.
It is unclear if the actual debate tonight could affect the poll results, but most experts expect that it will not.
