... it's a book. You want me to duplicate it in comments here? Any place selling the book will have a favourable summary. Any place critiquing it will have a negative one. If any actual philosopher bothers to discuss it, they won't be favourable to it at all.

No clue who you are talking about, you are gonna have to provide a few more details.

As for the CRT stuff, I know there are some crazies and overreactions. I'm not for banning per se, but I am against giving it a preferred platform in education. I think this is actually what some of these "bannings" are; not that you can't think it or read about it, just that government paid educators are forbidden for presenting it as some kind of truth. CRT (at least from the definition I'm using) is philosophy. Bad philosophy. At a minimum, it is unsettled and therefor unsuitable to be taught as a curriculum. It can be taught as something that exists but then it needs to be given the treatment any such philosophy would get and I doubt e.g. High School educators have the background to even try that.

It depends very much on where you go, which is why I said middle east. And you'll find that much of the "privilege" you feel is fear of your government. If they don't fear reprisal it will go differently as it did for those idiots who were driving across the middle east trying to prove the world was all full of love.

I never said anything about banning CRT. But the talking points here are CRT concepts.

What you're describing is specific to just a few places, mostly the USA. If you go to the middle east and start dancing around in speedos as a white male you're not going to feel very privileged.

Agree with a lot of what you said at the end. For me, the issue is that talking about race is useless. There's nothing CRT can predict that "financial class theory" won't predict better. And, unlike CRT, it works everywhere on earth.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Some people just beg or pretend to be injured. These guys invent nonsense jobs to get big bucks and bother people who are trying to work. We should probably pay bums better so they'll stop taking this route.

Who cares about mainstream? Mainstream is another way to say "retarded". And if it's the same 5 guys, why are you so bothered by it?
