Many who have dismissed the anti-slavery words of the founders of the American republic as just rhetoric have not bothered to check the facts of history. Washington, Jefferson, and other founders did not just talk. They acted. Even when they acted within the political and legal constraints of their times, they acted repeatedly, sometimes winning and sometimes losing. One of the early battles that was lost was Jefferson’s first draft of the Declaration of Independence, which criticized King Georg...

Today's postcolonial rhetoric fuels deep resentment and extreme criticism of the British Empire's impact on Western Civilization. The hybrid offspring of Postmodernism and Critical Theory's ideology has so deeply infected the West that it has metastasized into a terminal disease from which no major organ has escaped. Make no mistake, the death of Western Civilization is the goal and all "critical social justice" endeavors are the "necessary" means to this end. Remarkably, though, despite all of ...

This episode picks out 10 points from Critical Race Theory. I quickly run through them without commentary and then come back and cover most of them with some commentary. Friday, September 4th, POTUS put out a letter banning Critical Race Theory in federal training of employees. This made some waves by issuing a ban on all federal training that involves Critical Race Theory. That covers almost every sector of our government as this theory is so entrenched in our system now. No longer will the gov...

In this episode I explore what Ibram X. Kendi means by "Antiracist." as outlined in his book, "How to be an Antiracist." I contend that the the antiracist theory that Kendi espouses is a binary construct much like the very system he purports to oppose. I also seek to understand what particular "policies" he is talking about in his book and I conclude that although he doesn't spell it out, if you can discover the disparities in society then you can bet that these are the areas of policy he is mos...

In this episode I synthesize some of the prior podcasts and I even rehash the Matrix movie as a parable of postmodern theory and the unlimited vision. But the meat of the discussion is about the early roots of the unlimited vision going all the way back to the French revolution where we explore a fascinating man named Francois-Noël Babeuf. I explore the antithetical vision of equality vs. equity especially through Babeuf's "Conspiracy of the Equals," which is the fascinating primordial soup of M...

In this episode I begin to explain what I mean by AntiVisions. I riff of Thomas Sowell's idea of the Unconstrained and Constrained Vision. I prefer to call them the limited and unlimited Visions. In many ways there is an ideological collision that’s occurring right now and the tectonic plates of civilization are sliding beneath our feet. The question is: what is causing this clash of ideologies? I believe the answer lies not in the ideologies themselves but in "Visions"... References: Thomas Sow...

In this episode I discuss the relationship of critical race theory to postmodern theory. First I go through a short analysis of the basic definition of critical race theory from Wikepedia. I talk about Derek Bell (the founder of critical race theory) and Kimberly Crenshaw (the architect of intersectionality). The theory of Intersectionality and group politics are also discussed.

I will occasionally do short podcasts that I call "POINTS." Essentially they are short follow up points or clarifications to the previous full length episode. So today’s Points will be spinning off the prior episode, "Systemic Vision." This is far from exhaustive, but I would like to share why the current Social Movement is not Marxist and why it’s not a conspiracy. I also share more details about the history of Critical Theory and Post Modernism as it relates to the current ideology. If you're ...

There is a whole new vernacular that has taken our nation by storm overnight, and a whole lot of confusion about that vernacular as well. Communication is at an all time low while noise is at an all time high. Words are being thrown around like “social justice”, “systemic racism”, “white privilege”, and “antiracist” for instance. However not everyone means the same thing. What we are talking about are the ideologies behind the rhetoric, and these ideologies are driven by visions of the world whi...
