[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP, I know you have a more thoughtful critique of progressive identity politics than the rest of the anti-woke posters on here. But you are landing in the same place as them: completely eliminate any DEI discussion from schools. Why? Does it not give you any pause that you are aligning yourself with the Ron DeSantises of the world? [/quote]

Lol land in the same place how? Because I think all this DEI stuff is BS and is harmful? It is. I am not aligning myself with Ron DeSantis because well we have completely different world views. Seems like we are back in the Bush era where “you are either with us, or against us.” According to you if I criticize DEI culture and it’s influence in schools then I am with Ron DeSanctis? I can’t criticize anymore? That’s just insane. Get out of your America bubble. The rest of the non-western world doesn’t agree with the BS being spewed by the cultural left either. What they say is so bizarre, so absurd, that the US has become a laughing stock around the world (read the article on Qatar and the World Cup as an example). [/quote]

You are landing in the same place because you want to eliminate DEI from schools. Like I said in my post.

I am done engaging with you, you are disingenuous at best. But by all means keep trying to convince yourself that you are different from the rest of the regressive anti-woke MAGAs because you read some race theory in college.[/quote]

OP here. You are done engaging with me that's fine. But to accuse me of being disingenuous is not. I have my views. You may disagree with them and you clearly don't understand them, but to reduce my views to "race theories" I read in college is absolutely disgusting. You clearly cannot take yourself out of the tiny little bubble of US politics. The world is a large place and most of us non-westerners thinking what US progressives are spewing these days is complete nonsense (and yes we can't stand conservative politicians who want to bomb us either).  There are a lot of people who think like me - you just haven't been exposed to them. Speaking of ppl, I haven't read his book or watched the interview about the book but I am excited about Norman Finkelstein's new book "I'll Burn that Bridge When I get to It: Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom."

As for Ron DeSantis, well I'm not a fan (though I get his normie appeal). I'm actually not a fan of the majority of US politicians except Bernie Sanders I guess - he seems like an honest guy (though post 2020 Bernie Sanders seems to adopted some identity politics language after he was criticized in 2016 by the clintonites). Bernie is popular in the Arab world - viewed as a person with a good heart (though I think he gets it wrong sometimes).

DP just to add one quick point. Most liberal "westerners" hate this woke ideology too, that's why so much push back has come from Canada, the UK, France, Australia.

The ideology and the mob reminds us too much of the totalitarian regimes of the last century. Or the medieval inquisition if you want to go back in time.[/quote]
