Wave of terror recently is not a random misfortune

[Michie]

A disturbing pattern is taking shape, and it is long past time we stop pretending otherwise.

From Australia to American college campuses, from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, recent acts of violence and terror are not random eruptions of chaos. They are symptoms of a deeper ideological sickness that is metastasizing across the West. These incidents point to the same underlying threat: the steady advance of Islamization working in concert with radical leftist movements, united by a shared hostility toward Judeo-Christian values, and moral order.

I've talked before about what's happening. This is Critical Theory ideology that's enthralled Western sociology and political science for at least 30 years now.
Critical Theory sets up an eternal conflict between Oppressor and Oppressed classes, with the definitions being completely fluid. Everything about the Oppressor is considered evil, everything about the Oppressed is considered good. Even if the Oppressor does "good," it's still evil because it's only done for the benefit of the Colonizer. By the same stroke, whatever the Oppressed does against the Oppressor is good, but any form of compromise or treaty or reconciliation with the Oppressor is bad.
Western society in some Critical Theory teachings are white people, but the more recent classification is "Colonizer." Christianity is considered a Colonizer tool, and thus despised for that reason. Israelis are also considered Colonizers. And by the same stroke, because Israelis are the Colonizer/Oppressors, then Muslims are the Oppressed. Whatever Muslims do, no matter how vicious, is a righteous reaction to the Oppressor. Any violence against the Oppressor is righteous.
Once you understand that it's all Critical Theory, it makes perfect sense from that viewpoint.

Over the weekend, I listened to a podcast hosted by an African American individual who identifies as both a Democrat and a liberal. While I found some of his viewpoints agreeable, others appeared more progressive than my personal perspective.

The host proceeded to discuss the current situation in Gaza, along with the broader challenges faced by the Palestinian people over the past forty years. He made a comparison between the Palestinian struggle and the African American pursuit of liberation and civil rights, which I considered to be a thought-provoking and insightful analogy.

Notably, the host did not address the historical persecution of Jewish people over the past 3,000 years, including their exile from their homeland for nearly 2,000 years and widespread persecution across Europe, Asia, America, and other regions. It appears that many African Americans find it challenging to recognize parallels between Jewish history and their own experiences.

I saw an interview featuring Emmanuel Acho and Noa Tishby, in which they discussed the issue of antisemitism within the African American community. They observed that many African Americans perceive Jews as being of European descent and tend to associate them with European colonial ruling classes.

What you saw there was the situation of African-Americans viewed through a Critical Theory lens which puts African-Americans (I'm going to say "American descendances of slavery" ... ADOS) in the same category of the Oppressed because it categorizes Jews as the Colonizing Oppressors.

Prior to Critical Race Theory, ADOS had always categorized ourselves with Jews (or rather specifically, with the Israelite slaves in Egypt). That categorization was so obvious that even white slave owners recognized it and excised Exodus from the teaching of Christianity to their slaves.

If you go back 60 to 100 years, from the early 1900s to the 1960s, Jews and ADOS were allied in virtually all of the Civil Rights advances during those years. To be sure, it was also to the benefit of Jews, who were also the victims of discrimination during that time.

That's also the reason why American gays and transsexuals side with the Palestinians, who by religion would harshly oppress them. Critical Theory has said, "Colonizers are the enemy, and the Jews are the Colonizers," despite the fact that gays and transsexual would be much more tolerated in Israel than in Gaza. This is what the world looks like through the lens of Critical Theory.

Thanks for the post, it is very informative. I have noticed that you frequently attribute similar viewpoints among contemporary liberal groups to CRT. However, my understanding is that CRT is typically taught only at the higher education level as an elective subject, and it is not part of the average American’s daily studies. How, then, do so many people adopt these ideologies?

One perspective that predates the emergence of CRT among progressives is the belief that racism exists solely among white populations. However, many progressives have not studied or acknowledged that racism can be found across all races, ethnicities, and regions. In my recent research on racism in South America and among various Hispanic groups in Latin America, I have found that the history of racism in these contexts is both revealing and provides context for the diversity and tensions observed within American Hispanic/ South American descent communities. Unfortunately, there are still those who support the notion that racism is exclusive to people of European descent.

The "actionable conclusions" of CRT can be executed at any level, including elementary school. One "actionable conclusion" of CRT is, for instance, that all white people are inherently Oppressors, therefore classroom exercises that teach "white people are Oppressors and black people are the oppressed" can be taught at any school level

That perspective is that "racism requires power." That perspective doesn't predate CRT, it merely predates the general public awareness of CRT.

But it's very much a part of CRT. It explains in CRT-speak why the Oppressed class can never be racist because only the Oppressor has power, and only white people are of the Oppressor class.
