The Totalitarian Dismantlement of Reason is Here

 

This was a sarcastic meme by mathematician James Lindsay that exposed the idiocy and authoritarianism of the Critical Social Justice ideology ('woke-ism') and that it seeks to dismantle reason itself; the ideology is an attack on Enlightenment values and the liberty required to pursue truth. The idealogues could not criticise the meme or say its wrong, because its actually how they think. Instead the idealogues attacked the meme maker and tried to show that 2+2=5 'can be just as true, bigot' (to paraphrase) or other such ideologically driven stupidity (see his article '2 Plus 2 Never Equals 5). 
 
Its a cult. 
Its a self amplifying ideological echo chamber that goes to great lengths to insulate itself from criticism and is defined - like fascism or Marxism or other political cults that sought to dismantle reason in order to control thought - by its collectivist beliefs.

What is white privilege?

We asked @JohnAmaechi, psychologist, best-selling author and former NBA basketball player to explain it for us.

The framing
"We asked @JohnAmaechi... to explain it for us."
presents the idea to the learner as a truth to be understood and learnt, rather than (at the very least) a highly contested political idea.
