[@badmofaux]

"Robert Paxton (in “Anatomy of Fascism”) defined this political form as a mode of 'political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.' His model of fascism comprises: “polarization, political deadlock, mass mobilization against internal and external enemies, complicity by existing elites”.

And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the [Woke/Communist] Party is always right.” George Orwell 1984

[@rmcewan10]

I think you’re playing a game here you don’t fully understand. Let’s say there is one ‘true’ history - do we teach our children every second of it? Of every country? Of course we don’t, because we couldn’t even if we wanted to. We usually choose to teach the history of our own country, and usually only selected time periods of it, and then against usually only a selection of facts from that time period (for instance, we might study the Revolution, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, WWII, and the Cold War for the USA, but we wouldn’t study every battle, every crisis, and every significant event in those time periods - we have to condense, make palatable). This is a universal problem. We can only teach a cross section or hollowed out history, one that can only really provide a broadstrokes understanding of it, at least to the average citizen. As he says in the video, this broadstrokes understanding takes the form of a narrative. We might teach the history of the USA as a persistent struggle toward greater freedom - freedom from the Crown, then freedom from slavery, then freedom from Nazism, then freedom from Communism, and today freedom from Islamism. We might also choose to portray it as a Marxist class struggle, or a history of ‘black liberation’, or a history of the development of ever more complex fashion trends. The actual narrative that is selected may be true or untrue - what matters is who is selecting it. The body that selects it is usually the government and occasionally an academic hierarchy. They choose what is taught. They choose the narrative. We are seeing that now, with the deletion of any narrative that doesn’t agree with the current political vogue. Therefore, we should actually defend multiple ‘histories’. We should defend the right of interpretation and analysis. What we’re seeing today is the restriction of that right, through cancel culture, no platform, and wokeness. As is said in the video, this is about black supremacy and domination. We have to defend our right to have our own history, or else there WILL be a sole history, and that will be what those in power desire it to be - BLM.

My BA degree is in English literature and writing from Temple University. I also studied linguistic anthropology that covered postmodernist critical theorists such as Foucault and Derrida. All of this critical theory is nothing but "deconstruction" (destruction) of our western history, heritage and culture. I did take some literature and writing courses that were cross referenced with African American Studies classes but we studied with black writers who actually had a mastery and command of the English language and were successful in their own right and merit, and had studied English literature and writing themselves before destructive "critical race theory" and full scale "affirmative action" quotas. I had great respect for these professors like Sonya Sanchez, Charles Fuller and David Bradley because they were masters that displayed exceptional talent and success in their field, and merited their positions at the university. These days, so called professors and other academics only need to sport the immutable characteristic of the "right" skin color or some other arbitrary but politically correct identity in order to gain power, awards and position.

I prepared for and started a Masters in English Lit after I had my career going as a clinical social worker. The weird thing then (in the early 80’s) was that literature was supposed to be interpreted from a purely subjective stance. When I tried to tie in the historical period of the literature we were studying, I was met with a rather rude sort of snubbing. I think all this started back then. What was that? Deconstruction of the material? The idea that there is no correct interpretation and we can never know the author’s intent? It was very annoying to me! I left the college, though. I never got to finish the degree and understand what was going on! Two careers was too much!

Because of the importance of this moment, in that the struggles of BIPOC people have garnered greater view, UChicago's English department decided to focus it's few spots on a group largely ignored by academia. For the past few centuries, literature and many other fields have largely focused on the contributions, actions, and works of non POC.
