So the Madman is retweeting right-wing pipsqueak/twit Charlie Kirk today re: "Cultural Marxism"

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Now I admit I haven't read up on exactly what "Cultural Marxism" is meant to denote but reading between the lines I can gather it is:

1. An attempt to scare people by applying the word "Marxism"
2. A not so thinly veiled White Supremacist dog whistle intended to scare people about "White Genocide"


Am I pretty much correct on this assessment?

1. Pretty much, yeah.

2. "Cultural Marxism" is that thing Anders Breivik was screaming about as he was shooting kids

That alone should tell you all you need to know

3. It's straight-up Nazi terminology

And I don't mean neo-Nazi. I mean that the propagandists of the German NSDAP used this term. So in origin, and still today, the fundamental implications are antisemitic -- as is the whole "White Genocide" notion, since the premise is that Jews are planning to "replace" whites with non-whites.

4. This should cover it

And I'm fairly certain that those that use it have no idea either but it makes them sound all book learned and important.

Basically Gay frogs because..... liberals

5. These extreme talkers like having *air-quote* Smart Sounding Sound Bites *air-quote*

Always followed by sneering circular arguments, projections, straw men, ad hominems (LOTS of those), and all that.

I think Social Darwinism is more like what they’re actually espousing. As in, “No social safety nets, and fuck you if you need one. (Unless it’s for ME).”
