Opponents of Critical Theory are not interested in debates. They are interested in defending their privileged positions by any means possible. Questioning their rightful status at the top of the hierarchy is destruction of liberal norms itself. Facts specifically don't matter, what matters are the opinions and careers of the elite class. So I doubt this project will help with out modern culture wars. /s
Hey wow, making strawmen is fun! They're so easy to demolish!
- nullifidian 6y ago>making strawmen is fun If only it was a straw man. Rejection of liberalism and its adjacent Enlightenment values/ideals is at the very core of the modern critical theories. It's written everywhere in the literature. Liberalism, debates and so on perpetuate inequities. I assume you are just not very familiar with this stuff.
- nisuni 6y agoCompletely wrong analogy. Critical theorists just want to shut down any kind of debate whose conversation does not fit their worldview. I don't think we need examples here. On the other hand, there are many opponents of critical theory that are genuinely interested in debate, and in comparing their worldview with different ideas.
