Ostritch Parasitic Syndrome

how progressivism makes people bury their heads in the sand

even if tis based on teh myth that ostritches bury their heads in teh sand

how it spreads liek an ideological parasite

The latest Sam Harris podcast is a discussion with Coleman Hughes, who's just a philosophy student but has some great thinking on race. He made that point on the podcast that actually many of the "oppressed groups" don't generally agree with the victim status being foisted upon them by the critical theorists/SJWs.

XD

my favourite thing to pull on progressives

When you poll blacks, many of them don't want affirmative action, for example.

is how progressivism itself is a white invention from teh 1st world

its a symptom of peak privledge

Yes, absolutely. Thomas Sowell calls these guys "the anointed", in that they seem to think they have a divine mandate to engineer society to their tastes.

fuck critical race/gender theory

great for studying how these people think

crap for applying to any aspect of reality

Problem is it's graduates from these fields of academia who make up many of the journalists in our media. So they're creating the mass output which the public passively tunes into and it effects the broader culture. It shapes people's worldviews. Sounds silly to say but us here are the "woke" or "red-pilled" minority in that we're aware of this going on. Most people are oblivious to who controls the message they hear.

yeah we are defs in teh minority compared to these academic circles

but i know alot of people not in those circles that are wise to those shenanigans

BBC News website is a case in point. I've witnessed it become increasingly colonised by the critical theory mob in recent years and now it's just pure propaganda output.

on top of some that are in those academic circles that are also wise to the shennanigans

XD yeah cant argue that

Sure. Few can do anything about it though. Jordan Peterson is a bit of a lone wolf on that front.

propaganda parading as objective news

XD i mean jsut seeing that people are wise to it gives me some faith

but i jsut feel

some of these cultural issues, due to the nature of the framing of the arguments, if not constantly tweaked, will fall apart

just cuz of having to face reality

or they will get to a point where they get tweaked so much they actually accurately reflect reality

Gamergate was telling for me. It was a bunch of what we call SJWs, who had spent thousands of dollars worth of their own money on being indoctrinated into believing utter crap about the society around them, who were then meeting pushback on their preachings. These were people who had based their entire self-esteem on them being "intelligent" and they had their stupid fucking gender studies degree to prove that. So when wider society, outside their little academic bubble, start telling them their critical gender theory ideas are a load of crap, that cut them deep. They'd literally invested in those ideas.

XD yeah i mean when you go to uni for a course based on a specific premise theres alot backing you up into defending those premises, however frivoulous

they are really workign their asses off to codify themselves into infastructure though

which is worrying

not counting the media class

all teh diversity offices

like think of a big city

and search on google if they have a diversity office

Anyone want to start a feminist tshirt company with me we can make $$$

you will be worried to find that there are a FUCKTON that have cropped up in even just hte past year

I know

they are preparing

But we can be the niche

i mean the diversity offices lol
