This has been very obvious. It’s making everything worse. Critical race theory is rolling back decades of progress.

I was reading very in depth about it yesterday. Both the benefits and the drawbacks.

Biggest drawbacks were it was dependent on a shifting narrative and has similarities to post modernism. Meaning that it takes into account moral relativism and some other things that are actually anti-liberal. Basically it throws consistent reasoning and logic out the window and doesn’t seem to have any consistent anchor or answers on how to achieve any kind of goal. It’s all feelings and stories (which aren’t unimportant) but without any consistent underlying cure for the ails they’re referencing.

Basically makes a lot of what we’re seeing in the real world make sense if this is the ideology it’s based on.

It definitely lends credence to us living in a postmodern or post truth world. There are no constants with this level of thinking so everything is shifting and very unsettled.
