Florida Giving CRT the Hard Goodbye

[Bud_Spencer]

Nothing in there says CRT is communism. Do you have an actual cite to back up your wild assertion?

Do you even know what the goddamned Frankfurt School was, you halfwit?

 

[pecksniff]

Hardly. Because they never did give a shit about the worker. He's just like the black man is today: An excuse for revolution and cannon fodder for the struggle.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Do you even know what the goddamned Frankfurt School was, you halfwit?

So that would be another no, you don't have a cite showing that CRT is communism. Thanks.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

Gramsci didn't shrug and conclude that the mission was accomplished, did he? The working man's lot was improving immensely, capitalism was the reason. Why wasn't he thrilled?

Because the revoution is about something else. And so he set about devising a different way to bring it about. That's what the Frankfurt Boyz did, too, even after we saved their asses from Hitler.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

So that would be another no, you don't have a cite showing that CRT is communism. Thanks.

Here, let me help you since you're too lard-witted to do a search:

Index to the biographies and writings of members of the “Frankfurt School”, or Institute for Social Research, set up by a group of Marxist intellectuals in Germany in 1923, affiliated to the University of Frankfurt and independently of the Communist Party, which has been influential in the development of Marxist theory ever since.

https://www.marxists.org/subject/frankfurt-school/index.htm

^^^ Notice the URL, too.

 

[pecksniff]

Because the revoution is about something else.

And what would that be? Nobody writing on behalf of CRT is dreaming of becoming a new ruling class like the CPSU.

We've already established you have nothing that shows CRT is communist. Perhaps you'll do better research in the future so you won't have to move the goal posts and make things up.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

And what would that be?

Putting Communists in charge. Power for its own sake. "The Party" from 1984.

Let's recap, shall we?

* I show that one of the top CR Theorists today, Robin DiAngelo, openly attributes CRT to the Frankfurt School

* The Frankfurt School was established in 1923 as a Marxist social research think tank

* All of the member of the FS were communists

Even the Wiki entry notes that the origins of CRT are in the Frankfurt School

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory

Now tell me again how it's not rooted in Marxism.

Ibram Kendi is openly saying that the country should be run by guys exactly like Ibram Kendi, as a dictatorship.

You haven't shown anything that links it to communism. It's your claim that you failed to back up. For the fifth time, it's not my job to prove your claim for you. Maybe in the future don't move your own goal posts.

See ya, Sarge. You're a waste of time.

the [sic] ignorant mindset you embody continues to die out with each new generation [sic]

of [sic] course, more little children will be indoctrinated into your belief-set but fewer and fewer as time moves on as the modern global world continues to share knowledge, insight, perspectives.

your [sic] eventual death will be just one more dinosaur blinking out of existence.

Sic may also be inserted derisively or sarcastically, to call attention to the original writer's spelling mistakes or erroneous logic, or to show general disapproval or dislike of the material.

You accuse me of being ignorant, but you have either forgotten what your English teachers taught you about capitalization and punctuation, or you never learned.

What don't I know that if I learned would cause me to agree with you?

As "knowledge, insight, perspectives" increase it becomes increasingly obvious that intelligence and behavior are largely determined by gene alleles.

Intelligence — the ability to learn, reason and solve problems — is at the forefront of behavioural genetic research. Intelligence is highly heritable and predicts important educational, occupational and health outcomes better than any other trait. Recent genome-wide association studies have successfully identified inherited genome sequence differences that account for 20% of the 50% heritability of intelligence. These findings open new avenues for research into the causes and consequences of intelligence using genome-wide polygenic scores that aggregate the effects of thousands of genetic variants.

Don't see anything here even to imply that.

There's nothing there, either, that would make Kendi or anyone like him a dictator.

DNA tests for IQ are coming, but it might not be smart to take one

By Antonio Regaladoarchive page
April 2, 2018

For decades genetic researchers have sought the hereditary factors behind intelligence, with little luck. But now gene studies have finally gotten big enough—and hence powerful enough—to zero in on genetic differences linked to IQ.

A year ago, no gene had ever been tied to performance on an IQ test. Since then, more than 500 have, thanks to gene studies involving more than 200,000 test takers. Results from an experiment correlating one million people’s DNA with their academic success are due at any time.

You're aware, I hope, that there is no consensus among psychologists as to what IQ tests even measure. There is no general intelligence factor g.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

There's nothing there, either, that would make Kendi or anyone like him a dictator.

It's more of a racialized junta:

"It (the Department of Anti-Racism) would establish and permanently fund the Department of Anti-racism (DOA) comprised of formally trained experts on racism and no political appointees. The DOA would be responsible for preclearing all local, state and federal public policies to ensure they won’t yield racial inequity, monitor those policies, investigate private racist policies when racial inequity surfaces, and monitor public officials for expressions of racist ideas."

Not elected, not appointed, not part of the Excutive Branch, fully and permanently funded and in charge of okaying any and all laws, initiaives, regulations, policies, ordinances, etc.

What isn't a dictatorship about this?

 

[Bud_Spencer]

That is simply false. IQ is by far the most researched and robust field in psychology.

 

[pecksniff]

Only in the sense that if you take two well-designed tests five years apart, you will get more or less the same score each time. But nobody knows what that score means. Some say it only means "secretarial skills."

What isn't a dictatorship about this?

The absence of dictatorial authority. Nobody in this DOA would have, e.g., the power to start or end a war, or nationalize any industry, or put anyone in a gulag, not even a Death Camp of Tolerance. And, of course it would be part of the executive branch, every department is. As for "formally trained experts" and "no political appointees," that kind of civil service is hardly a new concept, it was not even new in the 20th Century.

If you perceive even a tendency towards Communist dictatorship in any of this, or in anything connected with CRT, you are thinking like an exceptionally stupid and deranged member of the John Birch Society in the 1950s.

you have nothing. my english is of a consistently high standard. you seem blinkered by the option of choice. i frequently choose to use lowercase on the forums as a stylistic choice, especially in regards to my own opinions about people and places. When I opt to use formal text and punctuation, they function seamlessly: editorial work, my own writing (non self-published), and my time as moderator in–or owner of–various literature sites over decades offering detailed critique and artistic insight attest to this.

as for the rest, i'll not waste time debating the kind of flat-earth material you propose. back on ignore for you. it won't be long before enough have you on it again that you lose the audience you so badly crave, just like last time. remember? we do.

 

[pecksniff]

Do you even know what the goddamned Frankfurt School was, you halfwit?

It was a school of Marxist literary criticism that never had much influence on anything, except perhaps the New Left of the 1960s, which never accomplished anything and has long since faded from the scene. Despite RW fantasies to the contrary, the black civil rights movement, the anti-Vietnam-War movement, the women's liberation movement, the gay rights movement and the sexual revolution were not in any way inspired by the Frankfurt School.
