On The Toxic Appeal Of Wokeness

From a sharp new item by Andrew Sullivan:

What antiracism brilliantly does is adopt all the instincts of racism and sexism — seeing someone and instantly judging them by the color of their skin, or sex — and drape them with a veil of virtue.

Also this:

Many moderns want the experience of religion without God. With [Critical Race Theory], as in the past with communism, they can have it.

Well, right. Read the whole thing here.

    Critical Race Theory *is* Communism. They only changed “bourgeoisie” to “white men” and “proletariat” to “women and minorities”. Everything else stays the same, including famine, gulags, and mass murder.

    Ordinary liberals like Andrew Sullivan are Kerensky and his Social Democrats. They see now that the revolution they started is getting out of hand and call for restraint, but the radicals aren’t listening. All the Soc-Dems ended up dead or in permanent exile.

    My thought was that moderns want religion without the hokey Jesus and Mary stuff, so they’ve replaced them with icons of cool like Fentanyl Floyd and Corona-chan.
