"White Fragility" And The Race Hustlers

I just want to point again to this Taibbi piece.

And to say again:

First, props to him for busting out of the progressive web of delusions.

   But second: contrary to one of his main conclusions, Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility is not the stupidest book/thing ever written. That stuff is par for the course on the quasi-intellectual left. DiAngelo deserves ridicule...but she's just following the basic method on the left: free-associative pseudo-intellectual interpretation/pseudo-hypothesizing, all ultimate based on and in the service of progressive-left political preferences and myths. It's free association that is subject to basically no rational standards other than: use the fashionable jargon, pay obeisance to the right demigods (Foucault et al.), and arrive at a (pre-ordained) leftist conclusion.

   The method of inquiry used on the progressive left is irrational--or antirational. It's based in the postpostmodern (or cultural Marxist or whatever you want to call it--it doesn't have an standard name) philosophy or pseudophilosophy that reigns on the intellectual left.

   Philosophy matters--but I'm not sure it should. It tends, IMO, to break through and influence practical matters only when it's bad. And the pseudophilosophy that matters on the left is utter shit.

   This is an important time. Remember what's happening. Write it down. Because if we defeat this lunatic movement, they'll try to cram it down the memory hole. And if they win...well...decades or centuries hence, the survivors who want to construct or reconstruct Western civilization or its successor will want to know what killed it.
