Critical Social Justice Folks Gets Fancy with Words [KT]

But if thought corrupts language,

language can also corrupt thought.

George Orwell, 1984

The Critical Social Justice folks are pushing revolution right now, and language is one of the means they are using. I thought it would be interesting to look at some specific words that have been warped by these folks to mean something that most people would not suspect they mean.

RACISM, SYSTEMIC

The Translations from the Wokish found at New Discourses are invaluable. I am using them heavily today. Please read the entire entries, as they are much more detailed than what you see here. They start with actual "woke" references, then follow up with commentary. Racism, Systemic:

Individual and institutional practices and policies based on the belief that a particular race is superior to others. This often results in depriving certain individuals and groups of civil liberties, rights, and other resources, hindering opportunities for social, educational, and political advancement. (The National Multicultural Institute). . .
From a critical social justice perspective, the term racism refers to this system of collective social and institutional White power and privilege.
Racism: White racial and cultural prejudice and discrimination, supported by institutional power and authority, used to the advantage of Whites and the disadvantage of people of Color. Racism encompasses economic, political, social, and institutional actions and beliefs that systematize and perpetuate an unequal distribution of privileges, resources, and power between Whites and people of Color.

New Discourses Commentary
Critical Social Justice thinks about racism in a systemic fashion (sometimes phrased "structural," though this may not mean quite the same thing). Though the "system" in question remains somewhat ambiguous, roughly meaning "everything that happens," Critical Social Justice Theory details many specific types of racism under this "systemic" umbrella . . .
"Racism," then, is a Trojan-Horse term because it is a powerfully morally salient term--one of the most morally salient in contemporary society--and yet it doesn't mean what most people think it means. It is very different to be associated with some vague system of power than it is to intentionally engage in bigoted attitudes and actions against someone based upon facts about their racial, ethnic, or national origin. The Critical Social Justice meaning of "racism," and what mandates follow from it, are thus able to be institutionalized in many cases because people are allowed to believe that "racism" means the common-parlance definition and, perhaps, something a bit more complicated to do with "systems of racism." This is to all appearances a deliberate trick being played by advocates of Critical Social Justice on a good-intentioned populace, given the phrasing "systems of racism" (when racism is defined to mean a system in the first place).

Counterweight has also released a video regarding logical fallacies in anti-racism training:

CIVICS

Civics education used to mean learning about the Constitution. Now it means promoting Critical Race Theory. From City Journal:

Last month, Stanley Kurtz accused two Republicans, Senator John Cornyn and Representative Tom Cole, of being "hornswoggled" into backing the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which would appropriate $1 billion for federal grants to support curriculum development and teacher training in K-12 civics education. Kurtz and others argued that the key words in the bill all but assured the Department of Education would use the money to promote critical race theory (CRT).
We no longer need to take Kurtz's word for it. This week, the Department of Education proposed a regulation that eliminates all plausible deniability, directing civics grant programs to prioritize applications that "support the development of culturally responsive teaching and learning."

The Federalist:

The Biden administration cites the anti-American 1619 Project and hatemonger Ibram X. Kendi as guiding its criteria for federal American history and civics education grants in a proposed rule out in the Federal Register on April 19.
The U.S. Department of Education's education priorities as described in the Register accepts and amplifies Chinese Communist propaganda accusing the United States of "systemic racism" and recommending anti-white racism as the cure. The document cites The New York Times's error-riddled 1619 Project, divisive identity politics-driven materials from the Smithsonian Institution, and Kendi's racist form of "antiracism" as examples for the kind of preschool through college indoctrination of children the Biden administration will use taxpayer funds and federal power to promote.

DIVERSITY

From the Translations from the Wokish, Diversity:

New Discourses Commentary
The first thing to notice about this definition of "diversity" is that it's oddly long and isn't likely to match the definition you've been carrying for the word. You're likely to think "diversity" means something about having different identities and points of view represented, and yet this definition immediately asks us for more, first and particularly that differences be explored in a "safe, positive, and nurturing environment." . . .
. . . who you are demographically and how your group identities relate to systemic power in society determines what you can know and how society values you as a potential knower. Critical Social Justice Theory posits that a person's "way of knowing" about anything is tied to their identity and its position in relation to (systemic) power in society (see also, standpoint epistemology).
"Diversity" in the Critical Social Justice usage therefore tends to mean uniformity of viewpoint about ideological matters. . .
As a final note, the example given above contains a remark concerning diversity's dependence upon cultural relativism, that "no one culture is intrinsically superior to another." The important thing to recognize here is that this statement is not limited under Critical Social Justice to generally arbitrary cultural mores like styles of dress, food, music, speech, and so on, but also includes the belief that knowledge-producing and dispute-resolving methodologies--like science, liberalism, capitalism and property ownership, philosophy, debate, reliance upon evidence, and so on--are mere cultural relics that cannot be compared one against another for superiority. Under such a rubric, folklore, superstition, magic, and witchcraft are cultural artifacts that cannot be gainsaid by others like science, reason, logic, and legal standards.

There are also some articles on "diversity" you might want to look into at New Discourses.

INCLUSION

Translations from the Wokish, Inclusion:

New Discourses Commentary
Inclusion, in the general sense of the word, means to welcome everybody (in context: into a particular space). That is, to be inclusive is not to exclude anybody. Inclusion, in a Critical Social Justice sense, refers to something subtly different that extends that idea in a particular way. It means to create a welcoming environment specifically for groups considered marginalized, and this entails the exclusion of anything that could feel unwelcoming to any identity groups (see also, safe space). This is because everything in Critical Social Justice must be understood in terms of systemic power dynamics that it Theorizes characterize all of social, if not material, reality.
Thus, inclusion is an expansive concept that could apply to silencing certain ideas like conservatism, meritocracy, or support for freedom of speech, usually in the name of safety and preventing the "trauma" or "violence" that such ideas could inflict upon progressives who see them as ideologies that perpetuate systemic harm. It could be used to prevent specific terminology like "ladies and gentlemen" (see also, man, woman, and binary), which Theory insists carries an unjust assumption that everybody is one or the other (which is thus not inclusive to gender minorities like queer, genderqueer, genderfluid, gender non-conforming, or trans people). . .

On some occasions, to be inclusive of members of marginalized groups, inclusion has been used to justify excluding people considered privileged, like men, straight people, and white people, or to limit their numbers, seat them at the back of a gathering, or ask them to listen silently (see also, shut up and listen and progressive stack). This need to exclude certain people in the name of inclusion follows from the Critical Social Justice Theory insistence that one of the features of systemic power and privilege is that all spaces are spaces in which the dominant groups' cultures are welcomed and other cultures are excluded (by means of the hegemony of dominant culture). Thus, segregated "black only" spaces, for example, are considered a necessary corrective to whiteness and a form of desegregating those spaces, according to the Theory of Critical Social Justice.
In this sense, "inclusion," in the Critical Social Justice usage, always implies restrictions on speech.
An inclusive environment cannot, by the Critical Social Justice definition, tolerate any speech (including symbolic displays or representation) that offends, might offend, or could be construed as being potentially offensive to any member of any marginalized group. If it did, that would be exclusionary to members of that group and would multiply or perpetuate their oppression.

So, inclusion often means exclusion! Just so we are clear.

EQUITY

So, what would be wrong with a little diversity, inclusion and equity training (DIE training)?

Translations from the Wokish, Equity:

New Discourses Commentary
Notice that, in Critical Social Justice, the meaning of "equity" takes pains to distinguish itself from that of "equality." Where equality means that citizen A and citizen B are treated equally, equity means "adjusting shares in order to make citizens A and B equal." In that sense, equity is something like a kind of "social communism," if we will--the intentional redistribution of shares, but not necessarily along lines of existing economic disparity but in order to adjust for and correct current and historical injustices, both as exist in reality and as have been drawn out by the various critical theories . . .

In early 2020, and rather shockingly, in the Washington state legislature, an "Equity Task Force" was assembled that offered the following definition for equity: "Equity = Disrupt and Dismantle," which is to say an explicit call for a systemic revolution. (NB: The Task Force was assembled even after the state voted against Affirmative Action.) The Task Force took pains to explain that they (the Social Justice supporters present) know that equity means disrupt and dismantle, and debated whether or not the language was too naked to be able to be approved by the legislature. In the end, the centrality of disruption and dismantling was considered so crucial to the proper understanding of equity, lest anyone in the future mistakenly leave it out as a result of their euphemisms, that the language was included in the proffered definition.

THESE PROGRAMS WILL ALL WORK OUT FINE, RIGHT?

As these people rush to transform our classrooms, corporations, etc., maybe we should remember that even the "experts" like the Rand Corporation often don't get their thoroughly designed educational programs right. (h/t Assistant Village Idiot)

Meanwhile, an ASU professor is teaching that grading writing is white supremacy. Let's keep those Black kids from expressing themselves well! In the comments, Darleen notes that this is not the first time people have been afraid of Black literacy.

ONE SUGGESTION FOR MONITORING "THE PROBLEMATIC FOLK"

RealClearEducation seems to be keeping pretty good track of new developments with regard to the campaign to overwhelm schools with Critical Social Justice.

There is an "American Civics" section below the top news feed. In the left side bar are "Engaging The 1619 Project", "The 1776 Series" and "Free Speech on Campus".

WORDS ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

A bunch of interesting foreign words with no English equivalent.

1. Kummerspeck (German)

Excess weight gained from emotional overeating. Literally, grief bacon.

37 & 38. Schlemiel and schlimazel (Yiddish)

Someone prone to bad luck. Yiddish distinguishes between the schlemiel and schlimazel, whose fates would probably be grouped under those of the klutz in other languages. The schlemiel is the traditional maladroit, who spills his coffee; the schlimazel is the one on whom it's spilled.

MUSIC AND DANCE

From the Before Times: Sing, Sing, Sing

Includes actual singing: It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing

On another note, I have running commentary with various people who say "You're a idiot. You need a mental hospital. You drank the koolaid" because I said, "No; Trump did not say people should drink bleach as a cure for Covid." Some nice fellow didn't insult me but said I should look at an interview from the BBC with Deborah Brix or an article from WaPo so that I could realize he did indeed say that. This was part of my response:

Practically every news media is biased against Trump including WaPo and the BBC. They are all leftist. My sister lives in England. I know she knows nothing about Trump's positive traits or successes because I talk to her, and she listens to the BBC, The issue with Trump supporters as opposed to those that loathe him is that the supporters take him seriously but not literally, and those that loathe him take him literally but not seriously. A man who built up a business worth billions of dollars is going to seriously suggest that people drink bleach? ! It was about light (not "light" in the sense of ""a little bit" but) as in some sort of ultraviolet light put into the body.

They don't base their cult on greater Truth, they merely condemn Americanism. So much easier to constantly point out imperfections, than to Build Something Better.

64 At some point white liberals have to start catching on that all this anti racism stuff is really aimed at them too.

I think we'd be surprised at how many of them understand that perfectly. It's a perverse form of self-flagellation they are engaging in. The liberal mindset is truly an enigma.

65 Systemic has a pretty specific meaning, its used in various settings but always has the same basic gist:

of, relating to, or common to a system:
-affecting the body generally
-fundamental to a predominant social, economic, or political practice

74 "an ASU professor is teaching that grading writing is white supremacy.***Literally systemic racism"

Liberal arts professors are the nuttiest people on the planet. All the great literature has been analyzed to death, and even deconstructed, so they have to make their "name" somewhere. They chose this path.

Stunningly a great deal of current literature is very derivative of the older stuff (all the Jane Austen bullshit, and anything else where they lift characters and plots from stuff in the public domain). One would think that nobody had anything interesting happen in their lives and that nobody can construct a new and exciting character. It's embarrassing.

87 "Racist = a belief that you culture or race is inherently better than other cultures or races. --- That's not Racism. That's Empiricism."

I believe USA as founded, has an inherently superior foundation. It limited the federal powers, but recognized the need to have federal power (e.g. military to fight other organized powers).

It was imperfect sure, but allowed a path for improvement, but depended on a strong culture, leaning on Biblical standards (and common law, other historical Western foundations). ... I don't think that belief makes me racist, (nor an "empiricist"?).

The evil of these leftists is evident in their constant absurd lies about everything. They fit the "Satan of the Bible" mold so well, if they are not actually demonic, they have certainly taken that strategy to heart.

They won't cover anything. We have already been through this when the wife had Blue Cross Blue Shield when she was working at the VA. I kept getting bills that said Tricare paid $0.00. Called them up more than once and got the same spiel....The Defense Authorization Act of 20XX prohibits Tricare for making any payments on your behalf if you have any other insurance and they cover at least 80% of the total bill. For most things Medicare is an 80/20 deal, so unless something catastrophic happens, Tricare wont pay zip.

I could tell they were reading from a script because I made multiple calls and every one said the exact same thing every time.

Homosexuals were never a primary target of the Nazis hate. Ernst Rohm, leader of the Brownshirts, was a homo pedo himself, as were many of his circle. That was never a problem for other top Nazis, until the Brownshirts became a threat to them. Then, Rohm's penchant for buggery became the excuse for killing him, and the Nazis would continue to use "homosexuality" as an excuse to liquidate those where racially correct, but politically dangerous.

WHITE SUPREMACY.....you may not act racist, you may be privileged but not aware of it, you are a danger to minorities even though you don't know it, your racism is oppressing people even though you don't know it, you must denounce your racism to protect others from the possibility you might be racist, you must give minorities safe spaces away from you so that you don't transmit your white supremacy, you must alter your business strategies, undergo training, and have your wealth and personal property redistributed to keep your racism from killing others, your children must be taken from you and vaccinated against your white supremacy.

127 The only answer culturally is a rebirth of Bible based Christianity. Humans are selfish, nasty and inventive unless there is some internal check on their behavior through a system of "don't do THAT" taught them as youngsters. American culture was Christian based even if it wasn't openly stated until it slowly started being changed in the 60s. We have reached the point where a large proportion of the public hasn't been. Darwinian thinking is popular with those who think they will end up on top. Compare and contrast the characters of Vito Corleone and Tony Montana. Although they are both criminals capable of murder, which has a more traditional cultural basis? And which had a longer, more successful life?

149 Racism/bigotry is not just feeling good about your own heritage/culture/beliefs, but treating others (based solely on their race/ethnicities/beliefs) as "infidels" (dogs, inhuman, deplorable and irredeemable). The left demands we denounce our own heritage.

In one sense even Christianity treats "the other" as inferior (e.g. he who hath the son hath life, he who hath not the son hath not life). But mostly Christianity says to treat the other fairly, and who knows which "institutional Christian" is truly Christian, or which "unbeliever" will become Christian?

I also believe a Resurrection of the Just includes present day "good people" that are not Christian. They are not "body of Christ", but not infidels or dogs, either. But yes, many countries/religions/sects are "Supremacist", certainly much more than USA.

158 Homosexuals were never a primary target of the Nazis hate. Ernst Rohm, leader of the Brownshirts, was a homo pedo himself, as were many of his circle. That was never a problem for other top Nazis, until the Brownshirts became a threat to them. Then, Rohm's penchant for buggery became the excuse for killing him, and the Nazis would continue to use "homosexuality" as an excuse to liquidate those where racially correct, but politically dangerous.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at April 24, 2021 11:25 AM (mzC7

===
Yes, but the Nazis also held an ideological animus to homosexuality as a social threat and saw it as racially unhealthy. Homosexuals were given a unique marking in the camps such as those for Poles, habitual criminals, and other "asocial" categories.

Rohm's homosexuality was an open secret and tolerated as long as it was politically expedient and the SA kept a lid on it. With the Machtergreifung, they felt they could be more open. Rohm was found in bed with a fellow SA man perhaps more than one during the Night of the Long Knives.

But it's a lost cause, as far as weaning so many off the automatic use of "Marxist" for things which aren't. It's just the catch-all negative adjective for all the various pathologies and errors and toxic scams and grifts of the era.

Marxism was a specific collection of crackpot historical and baseless made-up economic faux theories dressing up resentment and power madness. A whole fake universe. Studied much of Marx's entire work, not just the headline stuff, and even got exposure to the Soviet riff (also just made-up ridiculous crap) in the authoritative setting of Leningrad State Univ.

Never had a stutter, never had any verbal impediments of any kind - just mental ones. And couldn't shut up.

204 What have i done in adherence to my own creed? I found a job where i could use my talents and skills to advocate for, and *conserve*, the rights of San Franciscans, and Californians (dep'g on whether the harm was local or state), to own residential real property with some modicum of control over their fate. I've accomplished a lot more in that regard than a lot of lawyers you may hold in high regard, and i assure you i've been quite well underpaid, never making more than $160,000 in one year (in a city in which that is middle class). So stop whining, pointing fingers, and making fun of people, and resolve - NOW - to prioritize getting involved in the governance of your community and your life. Go to board meetings, learn who's who/what, join boards, commissions, etc. (not all gov't bodies are elected/appointed, some you can join), GET THE FUCK INVOLVED. Or sit here and bleat like sheep. Especially as to the men here, start being men rather than the nominally, biologically XY types who spend more time putting down "soi bois" and pot heads.

There are many cases of people making a real difference with local involvement. I'm working with a group right now and trying to help a couple of people under fire at a community college. Getting people together in opposition to this stuff is important. The lone rebel hero model doesn't work very well, especially from inside an organization.

Joining boards, etc. is great advice, though. We have let the activists take over by allowing them to take over these kinds of spots.

214 Last night I watched the local college commencement for the school of nursing. There were perhaps 75 students, and easily half of them were minorities. As they were filing in, one student stood out to me. I nudged Rev and said, I bet she is a Christian. She was dressed very modestly, and carried herself with a sense of grace. Her skin was very dark black.

Sure enough, when my daughter called her name, she came forward for her nursing pin. She quoted a Bible Verse from the New Testament, gave all glory to God, and thanked her parents. In heavily accented English, she expressed her humble gratitude to America for providing the opportunity for her family to leave Africa for a better life in a free country. She was amazing. An amazing girl.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? The final results aren't in yet. They have their crisis, their opportunity, courtesy of the Chinese, but I don't believe they will be able to maintain control of anything.

They inevitably devolve into infighting over who is the bigger victim and whatever body they have infected comes to a standstill and will either purge them or be replaced.

The crisis presents opportunities for both sides. I'm guessing we are seeing more homeschooling than ever right now, for example. If video learning even part time becomes accepted, then it will be Khan Academy and the like teaching while the Teachers Unions shrink.

One of our biggest problems, maybe THE biggest, is the control of information. Google controls in the neighborhood of 90% of search results. To this day, the FCC prohibits ownership of 40% of tv stations in a given market to prevent that kind of control.

That strangle hold, along with Google's Youtube and the social media giants are the biggest threat to The Republic. They've mooted the First Amendment.

SMH - I'm also a former grunt (enlisted and went to basic before going ROTC) and I made the mistake of changing from Signal Corps (which was fun) to JAG which led me to getting out. I'm not a fancy lawyer by any means. I got into law because I enjoy the real academic nature of the profession AND I found a job that aligned with my political values (and a boss who aligned with my ethical values), and I didn't have to shave or wear a suit if I weren't going to court or meeting a client. ;-> So I was underpaid financially but "spiritually" (in a secular sense) it was quite rewarding. As far left as S.F. now is, it would be even farther left. It's not about my "wins" (as that term is used on twitter); I'm not like that.

277 Worse still is when white people begin to finally agree with the left that the black population is mostly ignorant, incapable, antisocial psycopaths.

Personally I don't think people on the Right will ever do that but they will do what's needed for self preservation. That's what the Left wants to happen. I think it will take my black conservative brethren to stop it.

****

I think eventually it will be accepted fact, same as global warming and overpopulation and "socialism is awesome" is know. It just takes one generation of constant teaching, and we've been at it since 2008 or so.

But yeah, I can teach my children the forbidden knowledge that black people are equal and 100% as capable and smart as them, it's up to black people to move it back to common knowledge on the national level.

It is even worse than that as most BLACK people seem to believe this already.

I am 100 percent against that phrase. It puts a single race above all others, which is what Hitler's regime did.

Early in 2020, right before Covid wafted over from China on an ill wind, polls were showing around 20% of blacks were moving toward supporting Trump. It was discussed here at that time and most of us thought 20% was a bit high.

But everything the Democrats have done vis a vis race relations since then tells me that THEY believed it.

Everything flows from that

Among my favorite movies are The Tuskegee Airmen, Glory, and Remember the Titans. We need a movie thread on Titans, especially Denzel Washington's character. Listen to some of his dialogue. It would be grounds for excommunication now. Yeah, all 3 of those movies are anathema to what the Democrat party has always been about (behind the rhetoric at times and usually in front of it). LBJ and Nixon really f*cked this country.

287 The only answer culturally is a rebirth of Bible based Christianity. Humans are selfish, nasty and inventive unless there is some internal check on their behavior through a system of "don't do THAT" taught them as youngsters. American culture was Christian based even if it wasn't openly stated until it slowly started being changed in the 60s. We have reached the point where a large proportion of the public hasn't been. ...

Very astute observation. G.K.Chesterton made the point, a century ago, that Capitalism not moored to Christianity will lead to abuse of the workers and be harmful to society. When the Commies complain about Capitalism, what they're really doing is attempting to re-impose a Judeo-Christian ethic by means of legislation (the Commies just don't realize that). They concentrate on Mankind's material needs and neglect the spiritual needs.

God has a finely-honed sense of the ironic.

I actually have. When a black co-worker had his t-shirt on, i asked him if it would be ok if I wore my Tee that said white lives matter. He said no, i asked why, he explained that it was racist. I then asked him why his wasnt. He never wore it again.

LOL, now that you mention it.... Unfortunately, it's been 26 days since my last toke.

As for being happy in life; no, not yet. But I do have a sort of spiritual clarity and personal mission I am on (which would be fostered by the S.F. Superior Court uploading my amended complaint nearly 10 days after I submitted it, grrrr).

Remember when Rev Jackson said "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

Of course I don't recall him ever saying what he felt his role in creating that situation was.

294 I also believe that the corruption of sports by SJWs has really hurt interracial interactions, among men particularly. One thing guys of all races and colors could come together over was sports. After you've had a day or evening (or both) bantering over sports and over-indulging in pizza or BBQ or whatever, it's nearly impossible to treat your co-banterers negatively just because they look different. You just had a great time with them in a meaningful way or you wouldn't have done it. (One overlooked aspect of this is that for men of all races, it's a way to live vicariously through the athletic accomplishments of dudes you'll never come close to duplicating.) But nope, sports is so politicized now. So what's left?

299 The proponents of CRT remind me so much of the people who used to (and still do I guess) swear that the government/the world is run by a race of Lizard people. It doesn't matter how ludicrous their claims are, they defend them with either...

a) you just don't understand how infused this/they are in society. I've done the "work"/the research and you haven't.

b) you're a part of the system and the fact that you're trying to defend yourself/oppose my theory is because you're in fact a racist/Lizard person.

300 Just want to point out that my above comment was flagged as "spam" by whatever filter system is used. The only change I made to my original post to get it past the filter was to abbreviate Critical Race Theory as "CRT" and to lose the space between the first and second sentence.

301 To me, "systemic racism" equals Jim Crow. Last I checked that was gone well before I was even born. The truth, IMHO, is more sinister: to the Left, if you are NOT a Statist/Socialist, you are a racist. That is what they are trying to achieve.

Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at April 24, 2021 07:51 PM (49Dnm)

302 Noah Pollak is both dumb and wrong here. Systemic racism is just anti-White; and he, like all of you on this site, will call out antisemitism at the drop of a hat will never ever defend White people as a group. Jim Crow was merely the acknowledgement that blacks and Whites are not the same, firstly. Secondly that White people will never be allowed to police black behavior, criminal or social. So your choices are status quo misery for Whites or go back to Segregation.
