    The critical theorists want to live in a world of malleable concepts so they can toy with ideas and push whims for a living instead of pursuing productive academic work.

    A big problem with intellectualism is the notion of ‘homophobia’. I can’t get on board with respecting homosexuality and the critique of ‘heteronormativity’. Legalising homosexual marriage is a catalyst to problems we have in society.

    This endeavor necessitates a comprehensive deconstruction of the entire systemic edifice, compelling those ensnared by it to confront the stark absence of alternatives. Just as this entrenched system imposes a singular, antiquated ideology upon its subjects, leaving them bereft of choice, so must we engineer a paradigm shift that renders the perpetuation of such outdated dogmas untenable, thereby paving the way for a more enlightened and equitable sociopolitical landscape. Observe, denizens of the UA-cam community, the profound entrenchment of the neoliberal democratic colonial ethos within the collective psyche of the predominant Caucasian demographic in this nation. To dismantle and transcend this deeply ingrained mentality is a Herculean endeavor, necessitating an arduous and multifaceted approach.

    The second biggest tragedy is that the South African media, didn't once question the ANC based on the points that Leon lists. Instead, it became a W vs B conversation. Ramaphosa should explain to the public why some information has been withheld, and he must explain exactly how is he going to live up to his promises if the ANC refuses to get their house in order. As for the media, what a shame.

    Thank you Helen, you're voice is such a guiding light in cutting through the cultural chasm of woke vs reactionary right, whether on race, gender, science, or enlightenment values. As a british-pakistani gay ex-muslim, I've never heard someone able to reflect my perspective before without falling into the political football/tropes on the left/right, both as a south asian in the UK regarding taking an honest non-ideological approach to history, racism, and colonialism, as well as a commitment to enlightenment values, and scientific/pragmatic progress.

And I actually think it's much bigger than that. Including parts of the government and even the United Nations. There's actually plenty of connections, and you don't even have to look very hard.

This would be done by a subsequent referendum. Expecting our people to trust a white leader - without any chance of a black president taking the reigns - is an unrealistic step too far

The most representative current practitioner is Probably Jeff Koons, whose art has all the soul of birthday balloons which, coincidentally his art resembles. Gradually, I realized this same thinking is behind the current progressive moral hysteria. Great to have this other part of the postmodern story explained so well.

    The grand irony is, if it wasn’t for the black civil rights movement, gay rights and pride, even further back the women’s rights movement pf the 30’s that created the foundations , space and freedoms for the ideologies of these ‘social justice’ warriors to exist … that’s why I think the rest of us stand by mouths agog, scratching our heads as we interpersonally engage with anyone on a human and equal footing. What are the trans rights they are fighting for? They have been written in to law to be protected from discrimination! What privilege, the rest of us are just an amorphous mass lumped together in our shared human rights.
