  The connections between most of these are just that different French people wrote about some of them at the same time. e.g. Marxism and postmodernism are also opposed to each other. Corporate trainings of course also don't contain hardcore theories, because the point is to be inoffensive and prevent lawsuits. Ibram Kendi or Robin DiAngelo might show up and do a talk (these people also don't exactly agree) but the actual result is that people are going to start saying "allowlist" instead of "whitelist". What CRT actually says is that since many US laws were written under racism, those laws still do racist things, and it's obviously true: https://twitter.com/AdamHSays/status/1394986418993340425 https://twitter.com/AdamHSays/status/1394986418993340425

    What CRT/anti-racism actually says is: capitalism is racist the US is systemically racist all white people are racist color-blindness is racist all disparate outcomes can be explained by racism None of the analysis is falsifiable so it is closer to religion than anything else. Based on the above lens these ideologies deconstruct things like laws and structures, or science and this is how you end up with racist math, racist knitting, racist birds... racist everything.
