Dear Friends,
It seems to me, there is little that is more disruptive of social cohesion, than a hierarchy of the oppressed. Which is the definition of critical race theory. It is almost like the people who came up with it, sat around smoking weed, shooting speed and dropping LSD, while trying to think of the most destructive idea they could inject into the zeitgeist… and came up with, “If we could create a social order based on the oppressed and the oppressor, and we get to choose who is what, that would collapse society faster than pandemic justified lock downs! …and make us rich, terrifying and powerful at the same time!” Else it was conjured up by demons and put in the minds of sycophants. Either way, that idea is utterly corrosive of not only our culture, society and economy, but to our very souls.
Culture is shared. It is not unique to any individual group, be that group affiliation based on race, class or caste. North American culture is different from European, both subcultures of Western culture. In that way everyone in the US and Canada can be said to share in our mutual culture. When critical race theory is interposed, that shared cultural heritage is undermined. Instead of everyone being in the group that cultural heritage creates, critical race theory pries some out to stand alone. It massages their ears with lies and fabrications, backed up by some truths. This way our culture itself is corroded from within. By the Worm tongued swindler of Critical Race theory. Destroy a nation’s culture and that nation will follow, along with all the chaos, suffering and ruin that accompany it. For everyone.
A hierarchy of the oppressed, instills in people who are labeled the oppressed, an entitlement attitude. They no longer believe they have a stake in the outcome. Like a Trojan the war. Once someone believes that stupidity, there is no limit to their actions. Why play by the rules if the rules are set up to hold you down? Worse, why be civil, if “they” are trying to kill you? Whether or not true such notions are very powerful. Once someone is under their spell, the hex of the critical race theory wielder, that person becomes a bull in their own china shop. If I believed such manipulations, I would probably loot, riot and engage in iconoclasm too. In short, be a tool, a dupe, and the Mark, of my own oppressors. In doing so, alienating those who would help save me, small businesses, the police and my neighbors.
Once the economic incentives have been switched from merit to status, no matter how defined, sand is thrown in the oil of the economic engine of prosperity. It doesn’t take a mechanical engineer to know that putting people in positions of power, based on any other criteria than merit, results in sub optimal performance. Examples abound. You can probably think of a few in your own life. The more qualifications, other than qualifications, that are used to place people, the worse that system will perform. Eventually collapsing, leading to a reset, which may be what the elite want. Nevertheless, any economy is eroded by incompetence, malevolence and arrogance. Which, is always in plentiful supply, when there is a hierarchy of the oppressed… and in our woke corporate towers.
The idea that the totality of the complexity that is called humanity, can be summed up into a hierarchy of the oppressed, is absurd. What makes this oversimplification even more destructive, is that the definition of the oppressed, is arbitrarily set by the ruling elite! Making the whole thing not only corrosive… but ironic. No matter where someone falls on that scale, of the hierarchy of the oppressed, there will always be someone more entitled, because the definition is arbitrary. Therefore anyone can be oppressed under such a system. Except the people who decide… who is the oppressor, (those they oppress) and who is oppressed, (in whose name they oppress). Sooner or later, critical race theory will be seen for the farce it is, meanwhile, we should hurry that revelation along as best we can.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
