[It is NOT at all the same as what the Left mistakenly term ‘the politics of identity’ to tag the new movements against the elite, on the false assumption that they are essentially nationalistic and ‘white backlash’. Critical social theory is of particular importance because of its focus on social justice and empowerment. It’s clearly fundamentally wrong about how we construct our identities, the nature of individualism but also the possibility and nature of universal ethnics. It underlies the so-called social justice movement. The methodology of CSJ is not only incorrect but unfalsifiable, not only ethically dubious but plainly ideologically motivated—so its wide acceptance and social prestige are both bewildering and alarming. It’s indeed not ‘conspiracy theory’ of any kind, in any way, in whole or in part. One of the troubling and irritating things about our modern world is that one is compelled to read enormous amounts of material to be able to endorse a position in good conscience. CSJ controls the narrative because they are able to subjugate people with a simple word, albeit a word twisted and stripped of all common-sense meaning.

Social and Critical Theory The Social and Critical Theory Book Series provides a forum for the critical analysis of issues and debates within critical and social theories and the traditions through which these concerns are often voiced.

Critical Theory in the narrow sense designates several generations of German philosophers and social theorists in the Western European Marxist tradition known as the Frankfurt School. We are not convinced that psychological, cognitive and behavioural differences between the sexes are all social constructs that just happen to have been constructed in the same way in all cultures, including those of the other great apes.

James Lindsay has a doctorate in math and background in physics. ‘Identity politics’, in being profoundly not what it pretends to be and so deeply entrenched across the whole and every facet of the establishment in Anglophone nations especially and to a large extent in ‘the West’ generally, can properly be regarded as the greatest political fraud in history. Leftist bigotry betrays either unusually high status-seeking motivation or particularly deep frustration in the quest for status, which is ‘projected’ on to everyone else, who actually have normal levels of motivation to achieve status and manage to ride the ups and downs of life without requiring such dysfunctional ideation. As someone who attended university in the UK – relatively late on in their career – I absolutely agree with the standpoint that Critical Social Justice is far detached from the real world. Their rules dictate that discussion and persuasion are just tools to use for acquiring power…as are science and other modes of discovering “things that actually work” (as opposed to things that theoretically work). This was by invoking Freud’s now comprehensively discredited notion of ‘repression’, first to attempt to explain a supposed impact on ‘the workers’ of ‘capitalism’ acting within the context of the family. I can’t. And, of course, civil war would confirm the worldview. US Afro-Americans, in being championed as the ‘ethnic minority’ supposed warriors of the Left thereby meant anyone generically of an ‘ethnic minority’ was deemed to belong to the club. Second, Critical Social Justice scholars and activists believe that they have a much more sophisticated understanding of social justice issues than the average person.

Our masks have not slipped if we disagree—even indignantly—with these conceptions of us and the world we live in. But that system is gone. Maybe unfair but contains a grain of truth. The Critical Social Justice metanarrative (roughly the right side of history) is a ludicrously simplistic framework, centred on a cartoonish understanding of privileged and marginalized identity groups, whose relative statuses are believed to be maintained by … I don’t understand why CSJ theorists are so obsessed with power. John McWhorter’s recent piece on White Fragility theory highlighted ways even on its own terms it’s often contradictory and incoherent. – I suspect its popularity is partly because its proponents are pushing their own barrow, being incapable in areas needing more academic discipline, they find a living where they can. Then there are the academic drivers of the crazy bus, those who carry the pitchforks that have built this manure pile over the decades. Ironically, the CSJ orthodoxy prevalent in these institutions represents a great injustice – actually harming those it claims to help. This perspective is a macro-level approach most identified with the writings of German philosopher and sociologist Karl Marx (1818–1883), who saw society as being made up of individuals in different social classes who must compete for social, material, and political resources such as food and housing, employment, education, and leisure time. The CSJ theorists are also highly envious of people who possess true artistic or aesthetic sense, which is why they seek to assail any culturally enduring art form as part of the power narrative. Just as social structures and forces shape our lives, our choices and actions influence the nature of society. Maybe I’m being naive and maybe it’ll take things getting worse before they get better, but in terms of its ‘Hegemony’ I feel confident that at some point it will collapses under the weight of its own stupidity. This one of the most worthwhile articles I’ve read in a long time. The 13-digit and 10-digit formats both work. ‘Identity politics’ — often or even usually dubbed ‘political correctness’, though it’s not the same thing, having a different, parallel origin; PC is the mode of enforcement of ‘identity politics’, as in speech codes and cancel culture — is the result of a political-Left major backlash against the mass of ordinary people (in Europe and ‘the West’), beginning in the 1920s, in the wake of the persistent failure of Marxist theory to be realised in European ‘revolution’ or any real change through democracy. The critical theory is a social theory, which is known to criticise and trying to change society as a whole. Quite the reverse. Cool conspiracy theory dude.

"Dialectical analysis helps to illuminate the complex interplay between people and the world around them and to indicate the role of social work within society" (Mullaly, 2007:241).[1]. Critical theory is a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole. What Western nations? My dear liberals, what is the logical conclusion drawn from this insight? The strands of the ‘new oppressed’ naturally combined as a new (neo-Marxist) conceptualisation to account for these political shifts after the fact, which came to be termed identity politics (or more pejoratively though actually more accurately, cultural Marxism). If everyone else is held at a uniformly low status, Leftists thereby become ‘the chosen few’. Hopefully, peer pressuring people away from the ridiculous CSJ construct by enough respectable people will be sufficient. Kennedy and Dana Gioia’s Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama, Sixth Edition (New … This creates oppression because these approaches are understood to serve powerful groups in society. There’s nothing radical about pointing to universal complicity in invisible systems of power, the oppressiveness of science and reason, the cultural construction of knowledge, the violence of certain kinds of language (and of silence), and the fragility of those who dare to disagree with its increasingly tired claims. White men must have magical powers. If you mean the Twitter Red Guards and those in Academia who’ve built their careers on peddling this bs then you’re probably right. And, because we fund universities for real reasons, those who don’t support or participate in those purposes need not be hired or kept on. We know that they believe that privileged people who disagree with them are trying to protect their privilege and marginalized people who disagree with them have internalized dominant narratives that go against their own interests. Things were static. The CSJ industry equips universities and other institutions with bias response teams to detect people diverging from its mandated discourses, and its activist-administrators employ ever more diversity, equity and inclusion officers in an increasing number of fields. Perspective – A way of perceiving the world flows from a value position. This was the whole point of the political development, of course. Critical Social Justice is neither a radical, new fight against social oppression nor a more sophisticated understanding of how society works. The traditional theory only described and explained society. To be “critical” in the Social Justice sense is to be aware of and resist (systemic) power and disrupt established systems and ways of thinking (see also, critical consciousness). The sexist, racist and homophobic social norms they claim are dominant discourses have not, in reality, been dominant for some decades now. And then they and all of society will lose miserably. This claim is becoming increasingly unconvincing as Critical Social Justice captures ever more of the public sphere and intimidates increasing numbers of people into affirming its deeply illiberal and utterly unfalsifiable beliefs. The category non-white / ethnic minority includes such as migrant Indians and Chinese, who by no criteria are ‘disadvantaged’ or ‘oppressed’. Three thoughts: It is not at all internally coherent. Critical social work seeks to address social injustices, as opposed to focusing on individualized issues. We are sceptical of the idea that gender and sexuality are cultural constructs, since we are a sexually reproducing species and have been for millions of years. Theorists such as Max Horkheimer, T.W. This is what the CSJ crowd doesn’t yet realize. Kelly Hamren Liberalism as most people understand it has its demise build into its foundational principles. For 3000 years. I have shared it with friends who are battling this CRT nonsense in the Unitarian Universalist association. The intellectual rationalisation was to build on false notions of Engels (co-author with Marx of The Communist Manifesto) that ‘capitalism’ created the family and ‘false consciousness’, by theorising mechanisms of how ‘the workers’ were somehow prevented from revolting. Or friendship? I’m just gonna pick and tear and bite at all of it and everyone who gets in my way, until it all comes crumbling down in one big pile of confusion and disarray and they’ll have no choice but to give me the power because I scream the loudest at everyone.” Their hero, Derrida, wrote an entire polemic on how and why friendship is BS. The deemed ‘groups’ replacing ‘the workers’ subsequently were not only expanded in their scope but added to — by the disabled, the elderly, trans-sexuals, the obese … . Critical theory is a philosophy that involves being critical of the prevailing view of society. Because we have been taught to hold these cultural constructs in high esteem, it is very difficult for people to see what is really happening. Some people are still racist, sexist and homophobic, of course, but they are few in the West and do not enjoy wide social support. Do you even know what is meant by ‘conspiracy theory’?! The names given to these systems include patriarchy, white supremacy, imperialism, heteronormativity, cisnormativity, ableism and fatphobia. They see the world as full of oppressive dominant discourses, which they want to dismantle. Critical theories explain social problems as arising from various forms of oppression and injustice in globalized capitalist societies and forms of neoliberal governance. Talking to them at all is, to them, just an attempt to coerce them into allowing or joining oppression. Drawing particularly on the thought of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud , critical theorists maintain that a primary goal of philosophy is to understand and to help overcome the social structures through which people are dominated and oppressed. Yes, it is a free country. We know because they keep telling us so—and we have listened to them, considered their propositions carefully and concluded that they are mostly ridiculous. Another social psychologist might approach the same problem from the social learning perspective and try to analyze the various environmental influences that contribute to aggression including family, friends, and popular culture. The problem thereby arose of false identification. It should not be dismissed as a mere “conspiracy theory”. This lot does not understand the theory to be centered on power, rather they believe it is somehow expressive of love and compassion. Excellent article. Mullaly & Keating (1991) suggest three schools of radical thought corresponding to three versions of socialist analysis; social democracy, revolutionary Marxism and?. To answer that, we need to turn to the two central falsehoods of Critical Social Justice. Social workers are critical to pinpointing which students struggle with food insecurity or are in need of other outside of the classroom supports. The rest of us are not sleepwalking about in a comfortable haze of common sense nor do we need CSJ advocates to awaken us, either voluntarily or through mandated re-education programs. Transparently, this is an ideology in the wake — a residue — of Christianity. That said, Moxon’s summary is highly plausible and worthy of consideration. Given the original nature of this work, Doing Race in Social Studies: Critical Perspectives is a much-needed addition to the conversation about race and social studies education. I think it depends on who you’re intending to overcome. Critical social work seeks to address social injustices, as opposed to focusing on individualized issues. We think it unlikely that it is only ableism and fatphobia that have led us to believe it is preferable if all one’s body parts work and one stays within the optimum bodyweight range for a fully functioning biped. Because Critical Social Justice scholars believe that these discourses are omnipresent, but often difficult to see, they adopt ideologically motivated interpretations of speech and actions that cannot be falsified by science, evidence or reason—because those three things are also part of the oppressive dominant discourse. (1986). Critical Theory has a narrow and a broad meaning in philosophy and in the history of the social sciences. The “marketplace of ideas” which liberals thought to be effective in weeding out the bad ideas has obviously failed miserably. We understand that adherents to CSJ believe that they have seen the light and become aware of the theoretical systems of power that can be detected in everything if one adopts the right critical mindset. While critical social work has a strong commitment to structural change, it does not discount the role of agency, albeit a constrained form of potential. According to these theorists, a critical theory may be distinguished from a traditional theory according to a specific practical purpose: a theory is critical to the extent that it seeks human emancipation from slavery, acts as a libera… Isn’t it amazing what a little restriction of educational nuance via teaching to an expanded testing regime, and then higher-educating those same kids at universies whose administrations treat them as customers to be satisfied can accomplish? The great Karl Popper called it “The paradox of tolerance” For radical social workers, this implies working towards the transformation of capitalist society towards building social arrangements which are more compatible with these commitments. We recognize, respect and support their right to believe whatever they wish, but we have tolerated their bullying for long enough. Stop projecting that onto us. These include the ideas of Michel Foucault, Jacques Donzelot, Gilles Deleuze, Judith Butler, Pierre Bourdieu and Jürgen Habermas. HABERMAS SOCIAL THEORY Yes, this is a MASSIVE, MASSIVE overstatement, I am talking 3000 year history. Substitute ‘unprovable’ or ‘unverifiable’ for “unfalsifiable” in this thread & you pretty much have the resistance to rationality in rehabilitation that I encountered while on the bench. Critical Social Justice scholars and activists aim to detect these discourses of power, make them visible and dismantle them, so that we might be liberated from the oppression they generate. Slightly higher professions like blacksmith were also hereditary. The sociological perspective requires one to consider … However, they are supremely envious of people whose abilities for complex abstractions exceed their own and that allow them to succeed in a field that is useful and/or lucrative (typically STEM-oriented or anything within the capital market structure, i.e. A quasi-religion of supposed inevitable progress towards ‘the promised land’, rendered a utopia of equality-of-outcome. It’s time to retire these ideas in favour of some fresh, new, genuinely useful and serious proposals, which address the society we actually live in, in 2020, with tools that can help us understand and address issues of social justice. This probably goes some way to explaining why the activists who espouse CSJ theory generally talk as though they were living in the 1950s—before the Civil Rights Movement, feminism and Gay Pride, movements that rely on a universal liberal conception of society, won the support of a predominantly liberal society. Because CSJ defines discourse as power, you will never talk them into tolerating dissent. These sub-currents have no interest in the power of words, and that seems to be where the CSJ-ists currently think they are operating. This implausible and unfalsifiable non-scientific nonsense mainly festered within academia until circa 1968 the New Left in the USA, spurred by, indeed aping the Chinese ‘cultural revolution’, co-opted a movement which, though having nothing do do with the Left, appeared to be akin to the revolutionary activity predicted by Marxism: US ‘civil rights’. First, Critical Social Justice scholars and activists believe that they comprise a new and radical grassroots movement pushing back against dominant white, male and Western discourses. Now, please, tell me about the 18 possible configurations of biological sex.
