You Can Hold Your Ground Against Critical Theory – The American Mind

Having survived an attempted power grab and character assassination by a Woke mob, I ll attest: it s painful. It especially hurts if the mob includes people you once trusted. But if you care more about maintaining your integrity than what people think or say about you, you ll emerge with your dignity intact.

Don t apologize or defend yourself against vague accusations of harm. An apology when you ve done nothing wrong is a lie. It will only further convince your accusers their delusions are reality. They don t want dialogue; they want compliance. Nor will you defeat them in logical debate: Theory rejects objective truth.

Instead, attempt to show the inconsistencies between their demands and what they claim to care about (e.g., the poor). It will require some research on your part to prove you really do understand Theory, and you repudiate it as insufficient to the work of bettering the world. You ll acquire a thick skin, as you will be called nasty names.

If you don t fight this nonsense now, wherever it s showing up in your community, soon there will be nothing good, true, or beautiful to defend. We will be ruled by lies and power while being told we re progressing toward truth and justice. We re in an open war, ideologically speaking. There is no safe any more for people of good conscience. Choose which kind of unsafe you can abide. Fighting lies is always preferable to being ruled by them. I believe the truth will prevail.
