I came across a statement in a Thomas Sowell book that made me think of some of the nonsense we have been hearing in our culture. First the Sowell quote,
“In totalitarian nations, virtually every intellectual field is politicized. Genetics and economics acquire ideological significance in the Soviet Union, and Nazi German proclaimed the existence of such intellectual entities as German physics, German chemistry, and German mathematics.” p. 341, emphasis in originalNow compare that to the nonsense you have been hearing about science and math being infested with white supremacy.
At the risk of overplaying the Hitler card, do you notice the similarity in emphasis between the Communists and Nazis in acting like even the factual subjects are different when they are covered by their pet political group. It is just another example of the way the thinking of the woke is adopting the philosophy and methods of totalitarian movements.
The results will be the same unless America wakes up to the woke.
