Your actually not wrong

You don’t spark a violent revolution by convincing everyone that we’re all on the same side. You divide everyone into groups with grievances.

IMO, Envy and the Human Ego is the root of our societal problems. In a complex (Constitutional) society such as ours, relative affluence is (ideally) determined by an individuals merit, in offering the fruits of their Natural or God-given ability to society. In our current Social Media paradigm, everybody knows what everybody else has (relative affluence/freedom), is (Status) and whether they have much of a chance to move up the power ladder.

When the Constitutional Principle of Individual Rights (Religious and Economic at the fore) was established, and people were given the freedom to assert their Right to keep the fruits of their labor, as opposed to having to share it with all in the fold (merit, nws) then a Middle Class was formed. A Class that had the potential to gain relative affluence/freedom comparable to that of the Ruling Class, like Pelosi. This System (Capitalism), by default, created an Underclass of those who are limited in Natural or God-given ability, and with little to no chance of moving up the affluence ladder. Easy for the Egalitarian Marxist to play the Envy card.

The Egalitarian Marxists Ideologues who challenge the morality of the above System, do so on the basis that it is NOT God's will that judged people into their relative ability position in this life...but "life's lottery", I.e., the luck of the draw. And when desperation and it's consequence sets into the ranks of the Underclass...it is the fault of the (immoral?) Capitalist System...not that of the powerless individuals whose abilities (Intellectual and Physical) are relatively lacking. As such, Capitalism is immoral at it's core, and must go for human society to prosper forward (Marxist/Progressive belief, and the intellectual basis for their hegemony).

I'm on record way back of believing that society must address the 'weakest links' in our chain, as such is an obvious evolutionary axiom. Jesus pointed this out pretty clearly re the 'poor among you' . But with the freedom and affluence of the Middle Class on the chopping block to be divided amongst those who both merit and irresponsible/immorally do not merit the fruits of their Middle Class productive brethren...then if such a System is forced onto the Middle Class by the will of the electoral majority (pure Democracy/"mob rule"), then the implied social contract goes to hell...and the productive and prosperous society as well. Authoritarian Socialism, I.e., herding cats, is not the answer. For obvious reasons. At the very least, the Freedom of unwise/immoral people in the Underclass will have to be restricted, along with those of the Middle Class. Even with the Mercy of Jesus, QUALIFIERS come into play. It's coming, regardless of my opinions.

Humanity is at a point in our evolutionary journey wherein we are on the cusp of gaining great, Technological power via Knowledge. We can ill afford Morality-based conflict; which is the 'whatever it takes' version. The former problems of meeting Humanities' basic life needs, will be cake; meeting the problem of Humanities' psychological (Ego/Envy) problem will not be as easy. The Fermi Paradox may apply.

Re MLK and Blacks...Whites can't cut it either. Hell, a lot in my own family go down; if nothing other than living a 'life of quiet desperation'. Given the higher levels of Tesosterone and generally lower IQ in Blacks...'quiet desperation' is off the table. IQ has NOTHING to do with Character; "the first shall be last" in the Kingdom of Heaven.

REAL and OPEN debate - like our POTUS Debates - on this issue would be interesting...and possibly critical in averting societal calamity. But I doubt we'll see it. Could be over the heads of most.

I know. TLDR. Whatever.

No. Critical Theory predates MLK by nearly 100yrs.

CRT is merely a subapplication of Critical Theory. CT is rooted in Karl Marx's revisionist machinations targeting capitalism in Das Kapital. A version of CT was later used by Hitler to blame all Jews for all woes (though its proponents would vigorously deny that). In the latest CRT formulation, oppressor whites (rather than capitalism or Jews) are the target. It's the same game.
