1/ I think @HPluckrose and @ConceptualJames left a chapter out of their book Cynical Theories:

Critical Conservative Theory

CCT is the subject of the core study justifying the existence of and explaining the need for @HdxAcademy. Here’s the study:

2/ In Critical Race Theory, it is taken as absolute unequivocal inarguable fact that racism is normal, everywhere, and always.

3/ Therefore, based on CRT, in any interaction between people from a privileged identity group and people from a disadvantaged identity group, the question can never be “Did racism happen?” The question can only ever be “How did racism happen?”

4/ According to Duarte, Crawford, Stern, Haidt, Jussim, and Tetlock, in Critical Conserve Theory (They don’t call it that, but it’s clearly what they are describing) it is taken as fact that the normal, healthy, default human condition is leftism.

5/ Therefore, Based on Critical Conservative Theory, the question is never “Are conservatives wrong, bigoted,anti-science authoritarians?” The question is always and only “HOW are conservatives bigoted anti-science authoritarians?”

6/ Critical Conservative Theory is proved in this passage from The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. The book explains the psychology behind it:

7/ Critical Conservative Theory is illustrated this essay by Thomas Sowell, in which he gives examples of it throughout history: https://www.creators.com/read/thomas-sowell/01/14/fact-free-liberals-part-iv

8/ Being Woke includes being awakened to the inarguable facts that 1) racism is always everywhere, 2) conservatives are bigoted anti-science authoritarians, and 3) the *only* question is to figure out how.
