Hadn't visited my parent's house in over a year for obvious reasons. When I got there today I couldn't help but notice this book facing outwards on my dad's bookshelf. Obviously he was fucking with me.

It's written by some fox news guy who thinks that Marxists are taking/already have taken over the country (tho he's just playing to the swine right? He's gotta know this is uhh not even close to true). I love how christian conservatives, who control almost every lever of power, do this weird projection thing where they are the victims and the true oppressors are a group that has literally zero power.

Chances that this guy has actually read any Marx beyond the communist manifesto are slim to none but I reeeally can't be bothered to do any hate reading about this fox news chud.

Opened to a random page and he of course mentions antifa and blm and calls marx a utopianist (?)

    "Post-truth” or at least what they think “post-truth” is based on what some Evangelical blogger said about it once. Marxism means there is no truth and literally everything - including ideology - is equally true as everything else. This was a particularly important pillar to Jordan Peterson, as I think this is basically what he thinks “cultural Marxism” is.

    Moral relativism, intrinsically closely related to your third point
