Pushing Back Against Political Correctness Censorship

by Lewis Loflin


This is a skeptic website. I'm a skeptic on religion and politics. Political and Climate incorrectness is a badge of honor. Individual liberty is my creed. All people should be treated equal, period.

The struggle today is millions of often affluent people searching for meaning in their lives.

The demise of traditional religion, failure of communism, and rejection of materialism drives some to search for another path.

Some find solace in Nature-centered spiritualism, others in ideology substituting as faith. Radicalized on our poisonous college campuses, those with wealth, privilege, and access decry the very world that benefits them.

Worse for rational thinking, traditional people, they can enforce their dystopian agenda on the rest of us. That vision is Wokism.

Wokism has the authoritarianism and police-state mentality of fascism and communism. Wokism has the racial visions of inverted Nazism - the extermination of the white majority under the racist mantra of "whiteness."

This madness is no different than the Nazis that sought to murder their fellow Europeans by mentally disconnecting themselves from their neighbors. Millions of insane, woke, mentally-ill whites advocate the destruction of other whites in the same way Nazism did with Jews, Poles, Ukrainians, etc.

This failure of self-reflection is causing left-leaning independents such as myself to reconsider the Democratic ticket. Movements such as Black Lives Matter, "defund the police," #MeToo, and climate change activism have been hijacked by leftist extremists and adopted into failed policies in the forms of DEI, ESG, gender-affirming care for children, criminal justice reform, and sanctuary cities. The backlash and negative consequences of extreme leftism have been severe and measurable...

Social justice may sound like a good vision for America, but once adopted by the extreme Left, it gets turned into catastrophic policies that have real consequences. We've seen this ideology corrupt campus free speech and artistic freedom and fuel cancel culture. We see the erasure of women as transgender rights become a cover for misogyny wrapped in a rainbow flag...

Leftist drug policies are destroying entire low-income communities it seems by design by producing as much lawlessness and chaos as possible.

Explaining the Irrational Mind Poison of Critical Theory

by Lewis Loflin


For ordinary people, their minds work on reason and evidence. Bruce Pardy refers to the "four doctrines of the Apocalypse" as critical theory, post-modernism, critical race theory, and critical social justice. I will add in critical climate justice. All have one singular role: Marxism or socialism as an economic base, total cultural destruction as a method of achieving socialism.

This "mind virus" all began with critical theory. A group of Marxists concocted this before WW2. Centered in Frankfurt, Germany, they opened a "school" or think tank to discover why the masses would not buy into Marxism. Marxism and socialism have been the "religion" of choice of many intellectuals and atheists. Their approach is that of religious fanatics.

The Frankfurt School (German: Frankfurter Schule) or Institute for Social Research, these Marxists fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s ending up at Columbia University in New York City. From there, this anti-Western, anti-rationalist poison infiltrated nearly every academic discipline in America.

They utilize pseudo-Marxist thought but apply it to issues far beyond economics. Not content to eliminate property and class, but the entire culture in total to make Marxist utopia possible. Every facet of the culture was to be attacked and undermined. That reason itself is now considered Western and racist must go. Reason and evidence become "white supremacy" and "white privilege." Words, literature, and reality itself have no fixed meaning. It is relativism taken to its maximum irrational extremes.

Post-modernism rejects or goes beyond modernism. The definition of "modernism" is muddled and a little incoherent, once applied to arts and literature in academia. Modernism is the application of Enlightenment ideals.

Post-modernism has "rejected the certainty of Enlightenment thinking..."

What is "Enlightenment thinking?" To quote www.britannica.com:

"a European intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries ... Central to Enlightenment thought were the use and celebration of reason, the power by which humans understand the universe and improve their own condition. The goals of rational humanity were considered to be knowledge, freedom, and happiness."

Not happening on university campuses today. That is known as "hate speech."

All forms of socialism today, be it communism, fascism, Hitlerism, and modern Progressivism, originate with the blowback of the French Revolution and figures such as JJ Rousseau. The French Revolution, while influenced by Enlightenment thought, became a Counter-Enlightenment.

Often derided today by the vague term "woke" (irrational sensitivity to inequality, particularly race), these academics have replaced class with race as a weapon - they are anti-white racists even if they are white themselves. Marx was of Jewish extraction but hated Judaism and Jews. (Marxism does not come from Judaism.) Self-hatred of one's culture and people is a mental condition known as Oikophobia.

Oikophobia has gone from an aversion to one's home to an irrational hatred of one's culture, race, family, and traditions. It is a mental illness. Others use vague terms such as cultural Marxism, a method better called critical theory.

These CTs celebrate anything outside the Western culture, no matter how primitive, violent, or backward as an attack on the dominate culture. The LGBTP alphabet cult stands in solidarity with Islam while Muslim nations execute homosexuals and oppress women. Because Muslims are "people of color" (Islam is not a race), and anti-Western, Islamic culture must be "good" regardless of the facts.

The Democratic socialists and Islamists share identical goals of cultural uniformity and centralized authority. "Democratic" to them doesn't mean what you think it means. Iran has been "democratic" from the start by holding elections.

Equally bizarre is critical climate theory. This paranoid fixation of a 70 PPM (0.0070%) increase in carbon dioxide since the 1750s industrial revolution is symptomatic of Oikiphobia.

The industrial revolution is hated and derided for a number of reasons the the Democratic socialist. It is Western in origin putting the West technologically, economically, and socially ahead of the non-European world.

It became the the basis of capitalism creating the prosperity that disproved the "scientific" basis of Marxism.

Then for others seeking an alternate religious faith they turned to various form of nature-centered spiritualism and religious nonsense. Altering "Nature" in the most minute way is a mortal sin regardless of the benefit to humanity. Arguing empirical science and the scientific method to these cultists is like convincing a Christian fundamentalists the earth isn't 6,000 years old.

They refuse to consider evidence prior to 1979. "Climate change" does not refer to various studies in earth science, it only concerns human activity (anthropogenic) on Nature and the relationship to social justice issues. Its adherents admit this is about wealth redistribution as cure for the "climate crisis" and "inequality.".

Modern industrial-technological society is a product of European culture, science, and reason that must be opposed. Demanding the use of evidence and adherence to the scientific method is racism and "whiteness." "Whiteness" is a racist slur in the same manner "Jewishness" was to the Nazis.

We must return to the alleged primitivism and end of private property as espoused by JJ Rousseau. Rousseau may have glorified primitive cultures but did not advocate a return to the stone age in my opinion.

How Critical Theory Attacks Education

by Lewis Loflin


Critical theory is neither a "theory" nor rational in any manner. In no manner is this scientific inquiry. It is a weapon, a sword to bring down a system the Democratic Socialist bitterly opposes. Nothing has a fixed or rational definition or meaning. Yes, 2 plus 2 does equal five!

Kareem Carr of Harvard explains why this is possible based on something he read in Popular Mechanics:

"...hope is that you understand the flexible relationship between our mathematical systems, our perceptions of the world, and the symbolic manipulations we use to reason about reality. We are not passive observers."

What? Academic rubbish. In other words, they abandon the natural world and use "manipulations" to create an alternate, hidden reality. Or what about this:

"Literal-minded people might sometimes say things like I put a rooster and hen together, and I came back a year later, and there were three of them (1+1=3), or they might say I left a fox and a hen together, and later I came back and there was only one (1+1=1)."

This thinking is mindless rubbish. Rational-minded people say a rooter and hen produced a chick, 1+1+1=3. The fox ate the hen, so 2-1=1.

In a rebuke, "No Harvard, 2+2 Does Not Equal 5," Ben Billups writes:

"With each passing year, it seems our institutions of higher education become less and less sane. ... Carr's basic thesis? Sometimes 2+2 = 5 — and it does not get better from there. Carr begins by arguing that basic mathematical statements are abstractions (which is true). However, he makes a series of statements that fly in the face of basic reality in the way only an academic can."

This anti-reasoning is the basis of critical theory and post-modernism. Reason and evidence be damned. Only feelings and emotions are real. Other academics see math as racist. Rochelle Gutierrez is another academic saying just that. Now it is known as "white math":

"curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."

As a factual statement, Europeans created nearly all modern science, mathematics, and technology. That is factual regardless of one's feeling of inferiority. Get over it.

She whines on about mathematics requiring actual knowledge that favors whites. To quote,

"more white than nonwhite people are math professors and that math professors often benefit from 'unearned privilege' - getting more grants and more respect than other professors - just because they are math professors and not professors in another academic field."

A Space X rocket does garner more respect than graffiti on dumpsters.

A mathematics or engineering degree is worth more than a Latino studies degree she specializes in. Gutierrez claims that "things cannot be known objectively; they must be known subjectively." Critical Theory 101. Makeup whatever one wants, and it must be true! 2+2=5! Besides hiring less-qualified people based on affirmative action, this thinking is why airliners crash and bridges collapse.

Marta Shafferin is an English teacher at Oroville High School in California. She is another self-hating white liberal racist. Like many California teachers, she believes math and proper English are racist.

In my view she is incompetent and cheats her students out of an education.

She says, "Public education is an institution that upholds lots of problematic systems in our society like white supremacy and misogyny and colonization." What does math have to do with any of this?

Liberal white racists like Marta cannot teach. Most California students of "color" fail academically because of teachers like her. She needs to focus the blame elsewhere.

She says, "I try to undermine that B.S. in my classroom as much as I can. These are all made-up rules. They're arbitrary. They were created by Westerners in power."

Sorry, but 2 + 2 still equals 4, Marta.

They concocted a workbook titled "Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction." Now we know the secret to education! Putting a white rooster together with a white hen produced a white chick. The three white birds are promoting white supremacy!

At the Metropolitan State University of Denver, in their "Writing Center," they seek to end "racist" proper English and mathematics:

"...that characteristics of white supremacy include perfectionism, defensiveness, paternalism, either/or thinking, fear of open conflict, power hoarding, individualism and objectivity.

Classroom examples of white supremacy include putting students on different tracks based on ability, only teaching to content standards, grading skills-based knowledge, requiring students to show their work in prescribed ways, and valuing individual work over group work.

Even telling students there is only one right answer is supposedly racist. Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict. Some math problems may have more than one right answer and some may not have a solution at all, depending on the content and the context."

My god what a nut case. Ref. https://readlion.com/teaching-proper-grammar-and-math-is-racist-say-these-teachers/

"Diversity" is simply code-word for anti-white racism, replacement, and a cover for Critical Race Theory. Teachers such Marta have destroyed the future hopes of their students based on blind racial hatred.

Progressive Gnosticism

Progressivism is intimately tied to modern liberalism and the politics of the welfare state, which holds that the transformation of society can only be achieved by a centralized government that has sufficient power to remake society. Progressivism has in it a gnostic element. That is, progressives believe that they possess the knowledge needed to transform society and human nature.

They are greatly dissatisfied with the world as it is and are impatient with life and the very structure of reality because these fall short of perfection or the progressive ideal. These gnostic attributes are part of an existential disposition that fails to accept the permanence of evil in earthly life - in theological terms, original sin.

See Progressivism an Authoritarian Religious Cult

Science is indeed a vital part of our culture. In "Scientists Should Fight Postmodern Public Values" (October 20, 2016) Alex Berezow asks,

"How should scientists respond to the rising tide of anti-scientific sentiment in the world? The backlash against modern technology is widespread: Protests against genetic engineering, vaccines, chemicals, modern agriculture, neuroscience, nuclear power (and almost any other form of power), animal research, and embryonic stem cell research threaten to hold back, if not reverse, decades of progress. What can scientists do to address this problem?"

No surprise that climate change fanatics are the same people attacking other branches of science that don't meet their social criteria.

Dr. Marcel Kuntz, Director of Research at the prominent French institution CNRS voices concern over this issue:

"Postmodernism considers that scientists cannot be trusted, and that their research must be subject to a democratic process, more precisely to a 'participative democracy'."

Because of the massive government funding poured into science, politicians can push for the desired consensus. Further:

Postmodernism is an ideology whose aim is to deconstruct Enlightenment values...

Enlightenment values are the basis of science.

Dr Kuntz's conclusion is forceful:

Postmodernism is often confused with values of respect and democracy. However, science is not a matter of democracy – it is about the application of a method, and it is an elitist activity, open to all provided that one learns and applies the scientific method. Scientists should be able to 'reflect upon and revise their own opinion' without injunction from postmodern political correctness.

Sure, try to "reflect upon and revise" anything connected with climate and face attack. Ref. Scientists Should Oppose the Drive of Postmodern Ideology. (PDF file)

"The time has come...for destroying those who destroy the Earth."

Far too many Progressive gnostics, including atheistic scientists, often adopt some form of pantheism. Nature, in particular, the earth, is divine, holy, and sacred. Pristine Nature is holy, and humankind is not. Nature is now as being with rights! To NASA climate preacher Dr. James Hansen, opponents should be jailed for "crimes against humanity and nature."

Nature is not a being, pantheist, spiritual, or otherwise. Nature has no rights. Hansen is another Progressive gnostic. According to the John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Foundation:

"...acting as a messenger from the esoteric world of computer climate models to the public and policymakers alike."

Google the term "esoteric" and to quote, "A type of hidden knowledge that is generally known only by a few individuals and not by the general public." We are talking religion here, not science.

Science fact:

The atmosphere is vast, almost entirely consisting of nitrogen & oxygen plus argon at just under 1 per cent. This is 99.9 per cent of the atmosphere. Earth is a water world & water is 260 times the volume of air. CO2, a gas 4 parts in 10,000, will not affect global temperatures. - Peter Clack

Incredible as it may seem grist.org writer David Popiek (March 17, 2019) says, "It's time for climate change communicators to listen to social science." He says that reason "is not what drives human behavior."

Social science is not science.

He quotes theologian Blaise Pascal, "We know the truth, not only by reason, but also by the heart."

I'll take the scientific method over esoteric, gnostic nonsense.

To quote Jordan Peterson:

Postmodernism is essentially the claim that (1) since there are an innumerable number of ways in which the world can be interpreted and perceived (and those are tightly associated) then (2) no canonical manner of interpretation can be reliably derived.

That's the fundamental claim. An immediate secondary claim (and this is where the Marxism emerges) is something like “since no canonical manner of interpretation can be reliably derived, all interpretation variants are best interpreted as the struggle for different forms of power.”

There is no excuse whatsoever for the secondary claim (except that it allows the resentful pathology of Marxism to proceed in a new guise).

POSTMODERN MARXISTS

After World War II and the revelations about Stalin's crimes, academic Marxists began migrating from traditional, economic Marxism to a culture-based version, even dropping the Marxist name. The first group, the Frankfurt School—which led to the rise of Western Marxism and Cultural Marxism—originated in Germany...Other academics joined in moving from Marxism to literary theory and deconstruction. Professors Christopher Norris (University of Wales), Richard Rorty (Columbia), and Cornel West (Princeton) are in this group.

Cornel West is a racial Marxist and racist in general.

Ref. www.nas.org Feb. 14, 2014.

"Some famous thinkers associated with postmodernism are Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Pierre-Félix Guattari, Fredric Jameson, Emmanuel Lévinas, Jean-François Lyotard, Richard Rorty, and Slavoj Žižek"

Ref. www.britannica.com



Skepticism is good.

Earth Science

Climate change is real, but many have hijacked the issue. The dangers are overblown. Far greater changes have occurred since the end of last ice age and more will occur in the future.

Before buying into the climate apocalypse try learning something. Progressive gnostics believe they can dictate the future through political force backed by esoteric computer modeling. Yet the same predictions come and go like clockwork.

United Nations AP Jan. 29, 1989: "...entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth...if the global warming is not reversed by 2000." The consensus goes on, "governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect..."

By 2000, 90 million in Bangladesh will drown - it will "cost the U.S. $100 billion" to save Norfolk, Miami, and New York. Dustbowl conditions will devastate U.S./Canadian wheat lands. Didn't happen.

In 2018, etc. record corn, wheat, soybean, etc. crops - even in China and India! NASA reports massive greening of the earth covering an area TWICE THE SIZE of the continental U.S.! Wasn't in the models either.

Decades of failed hysterical computer models would make any rational person a skeptic.




Diversity is Wonderful




Black Crime and Violence

To quote,

In 2021, 87% of all non-lethal interracial violent crimes committed between blacks and whites in the US were black-on-white — 480,030 incidents with a black offender and white victim, and 69,850 incidents with a white offender and black victim, or seven times as many black-on-white as white-on-black incidents of interracial non-lethal violence.

7 to 1 black on white. White often includes Hispanics as offenders. Note the massive list below.
