“This represents more than ‘cancel culture’, more than another cynical effort by the elites to circumscribe what may be said on a particular issue. It represents an overturning of the virtues of the Scientific Revolution itself, and of that central freedom of Enlightenment: the freedom to question authority.”
Brendan O'Neill, A Heretic's Manifesto: Essays on the Unsayable

“Critical Race Theory seeks to improve Marxism by making it deliberately racist.”
James A. Lindsay, Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis

“In other words, Critical Race Theory, like all Critical Theories, like all Marxian Theories, is ultimately religious in nature.”
James A. Lindsay, Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis

“Continuing with the analogy of the virus, we can think of sites of oppression as being the equivalent of cells that can be infected by the CSJ perspective. Each site of oppression has different receptors with the most common receptors being the "critical" and "diversity" receptors. These receptors can and are used to infect sites/cells with the CSJ virus. The most common and important sites for the spread of the CSJ virus are university departments and disciplinary entities since they are the gateways into the machinery and apparatus of the entire knowledge production system.”
Charles Pincourt, Counter Wokecraft: A Field Manual for Combatting the Woke in the University and Beyond

“Only by being free to think for ourselves do we become fully human, he said: ‘Our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs.’ To police and shrivel the sphere of public discussion is to frustrate the search for truth itself, Milton said, by ‘hindring and cropping the discovery that might yet be further made both in religious and civill Wisdome’.67 Truth is not something to be bestowed on us from on high – it is something we endeavour to discover ourselves through free thought, free debate and the free exchange of ideas with our fellow human beings. Resisting and challenging the libel that says humanity is a toxic force is the first step towards restoring the liberty and confidence we will need if we are to navigate whatever nature throws at us.”
