Critical Theory is the basis of the leftist ideology today. It’s important to understand because you then realize where the illogical logic is coming from. It posits that people atop of hierarchy’s structure them in a way to maintain their place at the top. It also then supposes that societal structure and influence has more of an effect on someone’s societal position in life than individual choices or psychology. Critical theory can be a useful tool when used along side of traditional theory. Traditional theory is just a term for reason used to analyze facts and stats in a neutral manner, or basically the scientific theory. Critical theory was never supposed to be used by itself. When it’s used just by itself, the only facts that matter are the one that are useful to explaining away the worlds problem on the “hegemony”, or the societal structure set up by those in power for those in power. Any other facts (not suppositions) that go against this theory are just an attempt by the hegemony to maintain the status quo, and should therefore just be discounted immediately. This puts science, history, and mathematics in direct conflict with critical theory. This is why we see things like the 1619 project. It is important for these leftist to make sure they frame America’s founding as only having one goal, to exploit blacks. The nuclear family that BLM has bizarrely come out against and declared as an evil, is because it’s apparently a patriarchal system designed to oppress women. This is why if you list the stats and facts to a BLM supporter, you are now a white supremacist, because the system we live in is a white supremacists system, and your facts and stats suggest you want to maintain the status quo of white supremacy.
Here’s the dumb part. If you were to set up a society that would fight against the “hegemony”...you would want justice to be blind. Social justice, by definition, cannot be blind. It needs to see race and creed. You would also want a system that limits power of those in high positions. If you limit their power, then they cannot use that power to oppress you. Better yet create multiple competing branches of government, with their own built in checks and balances against the other branches. Yeah basically our founders were already fighting against the hegemony before the Frankfurt school even came up with their theory. Of course the freedoms laid out didn’t immediately apply for all Americans at the same time, but that’s an evil we paid for dearly in the civil war....America’s most deadly war. But because of critical theory fomenting in universities without pushback, and devoid of traditional theory/science that needs to labeled as white supremacists, or oppressor theory...the very thing to uplift the common people, the enlightenment values that our constitution is based on, needs to also be labeled as a white supremacist/oppressor system.
