Nicely done..particularly about the “ the sacralization of the historically marginalized” . So true.

Sadly seeds are planted is as young as Grades 1 - up. Harvested by youngster teachers fresh out of teacher’s colleges and marinated by Administrators.

In the sixties, we thought McLuhan was talking about full-body massage and we were right there with him. People actually pronounced “message” as a French word so how were we to know, randy teenagers that we were?

"The ones who are best at passing this type of thing off as legitimate are smart enough to inject loads of truth, good sense and philosophically sound reasoning into their analysis."

Interesting...you should get one of them to teach you how to do so 🙄

The leftists are intertwined with Islam because Islam is Regious Communism and Communist is the atheist branch of collectivism. Two sides of the same coin. Want to learn the truth let me explain in my podcast here:

Without question McLuhan was a brilliant visionary, that said I've amended his "Medium is the Message" to the current narradigm - "the Meme is the Message" In regard to your other thoughts they succinctly echo mine, in that an inverse dialectic (Think Hegel, Marx) dominates most all institutional and political discourse. Deviously clever wokism, tricking the gullible into outsourcing their thoughts and emotions to others with "purer" ideals. Huxley's "Brave New World" and Orwell's "1984" were prescient indeed.

A succinct yet paradoxically fulsome audio presentation from New Discourses explaining dialectical inversion as promulgated by Hegel & Marx. Thought provoking and eye opening. Runs ~11 minutes, IMO your time will be well spent with no regrets. Please share thoughts. // Paul
