I was just thinking about it after looking it up. What has it, in world affairs, actually done? What changes did it make to society that were worth making?
EDIT: I wanted to ask this because I had some thoughts on Critical Theory that I wasn’t sure of. I thought it was just empty talk that would be repeated and repeated but never acted upon. Like, what would our world look like without Critical Theory being developed? How come such a “great ideology” couldn’t actually stop the War of Terror, or the election of Donald Trump, or wealthy corporate executives becoming obscenely rich, or the Housing Crisis and Great Recession, or the Rwandan Genocide, or Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or anything? What does it do to actually help people?
How? I’ve read a bit about it, but I’m not exactly sure what you’re describing.
The fact that you don’t know what I’m describing is exactly the problem. The system has shaped you to not see the divide that I’m describing.
Think about that, and your role in the system, before questioning me again.
Bitch, words have wildly varying meanings. What does “embolden” mean here? What does “communication” mean here? Is this a religious thing? The transcription process of DNA can be described, as can the movement of planets, and what causes fire to burn and extinguish, but for some reason this is too esoteric for me to understand because of “the system”. What is this “system”? What isn’t this “system”? Is this the Anything-But-Class theorizing that Parenti was talking about?
The central theorem is DNA transcribes to RNA. Translation is when RNA goes to proteins. You and I know this. Please stay in that academic mindset.
Refer back to my original comment:
Take your response. And my response to that. As an example of emboldening lack of communication.
The context alone primes people for an agressive response. I deliberatelly triggered it, as an example.
Lol no. The “system” (whichever one you choose) obviously lacks the directional nuance you’re clearly posturing towards.
So… you’re telling him not to communicate? Are you the embodiment of critical theory?
Exactly
Buddy that response and attitude is the exact opposite of helping and reinforces every negative thing people say about critical theory.
Exactly
So funny when someone gets their bluff called and still doubles down.
Better luck next time.
