    Its ridiculous, my British uncle is convinced Critical Race Theory is tour is in school. I asked him what critical race theory is and he didn’t know. People are being lied to and then they tie it to ego and become talking heads for shit they have no idea of beyond surface level.

      Same thing happens when you ask someone complaining about “the woke” what that word actually means. Blank stare and no coherent answer.

      Whether it’s racism, sexism, transphobia…it’s lies that are easy to believe because it feels true.
